Win 40 points and won’t be able to beat the main force!

Without Tatum, the Celtics can't stand the gap in lineup with the Knicks...
G5 is like the last win over the Celtics in front of their hometown elders, and today G6 is more like the current gap between the two sides. The Knicks had already played the game in the first half and had already beaten the Celtics by 25 points at the end of the half. The score difference that was most behind in the game was as high as 41 points. In the end, the Knicks easily defeated the Celtics 119 to 81 and met the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
From the moment Tatum fell, the Celtics management is probably already considering the offseason. If nothing unexpected happens, Tatum will not be able to play next year. Without Tatum, maintaining its current lineup. With Brown, White and other players, the Celtics will play in the playoffs in the East. It should not be too difficult. But without Tatum, there is no competitiveness, not to mention that Holiday and Horford will be one year older next year. It is still unknown whether their condition will suddenly decline.
Of course, the biggest problem is that Platinum, who was in his year of playing, has really no hope now. After handing in the last game with 1 point and 1 rebound, it has "recovered" slightly today, with 1, 4 points in 4 shots... I worship Platinum like a master throughout the season, and finally handing over such performances in the life and death game. Which management can bear it?
Instead of being up and down, it is better to overturn completely. The team will not have much competitiveness next year. It is better to rectify internal personnel. If you want to send them away, you should sell them quickly. This lineup has been successfully passed, but forcibly retained will not only explode, but also have no hope. The Celtics should learn from their mistakes in the offseason and usher in changes in the lineup.
In contrast, after the Knicks welcomed Towns in the offseason, the team reached the Eastern Conference Finals after 24 years. Regardless of whether they can reach the finals or not, the Knicks has undoubtedly been quite successful this season. The big price exchanged for the Bridge from the Nets, renewed OG contract with a high salary, and then exchanged for Towns from the Timberwolves. With Brunson and Hart already, all the top Iron Man in the league gathered in the Knicks.
It is said that the starter is played in the playoffs, and the best lineup is the quality of the strongest lineup. The Knicks do not have depth, but the strength of the starting is really full. Not only is it strong, but it is also durable. Other teams are still worried about whether the substitutes will collapse in the connection period, but the Knicks are no longer afraid, and we will not be on the substitute at all. Moreover, they have been practicing physical fitness since the regular season, and the effect has been shown now. Who says Thibodeau has nothing to do?
The five donkeys of the Knicks are really the ultimate in their physical fitness. Today, they won more than 30 points in the third quarter. Several of the team's starting players played for about 35 minutes. Who knows, when the Knicks still had an advantage of about 40 points with 7.8 minutes left in the game, Thibodeau actually brought Anunobi from the bench. I sweat slightly in 30 minutes, and I don’t take a breath for 40 minutes. 48 minutes is not their limit, so I won’t be tired if I do extra time.
Sure enough, competitive sports have always been like this. Whoever can stay on the field for longer will be the better side. No matter how ridiculed it, this Knicks is really a bit of a thing. Moreover, there is something to do in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks have the ultimate starting strength, while the Pacers have the ultimate lineup depth. Who can laugh to the end? Let's wait and see.
