The Boston Celtics are down two gut-punches to none on this second spherical collection in opposition to the New York Knicks. In each video games they led by 20 factors and each occasions they couldn’t execute down the stretch. They aren’t accomplished, it is a 7 recreation collection. However they’ve decreased their margin of error considerably.
On the optimistic aspect, I nonetheless really feel in my coronary heart of hearts that the Celtics are the higher crew. They’ve the expertise, matchups, and on-paper benefits to win 4 of the following 5 video games. I picked them to brush the collection and nonetheless imagine they are going to win out.
Nevertheless, we realized in 2023 enjoying the Miami Warmth that generally the opposite crew simply out-executes you. They bought down 3-0 in that collection and made a livid comeback try that ended up really fizzling out in recreation 7 (partially as a consequence of Tatum’s injured ankle). That’s the factor that may occur whenever you don’t care for the early video games.
So now I open the dialogue to you. Do you continue to imagine that the Celtics are successful this factor? Or do you suppose it’s extra practical to confess they’re doubtless accomplished?

Will the Celtics nonetheless win this collection?
