From what I've seen, the Knicks just can't seem to catch a break against the Celtics in the playoffs, and yeah, it's honestly frustrating. Like, you look at the regular season and the Knicks will sometimes even sweep Boston, but once the postseason hits, Boston always finds a way. I remember a couple years back when the Knicks were doing decent and then the series got real physical—Boston has a deeper bench and their shooters go crazy hot when it matters most.

Also, the Celtics have tons of playoff experience and they don’t get rattled super easily. The Knicks, even with stars like Brunson and Hart, tend to lose momentum if a couple shots don’t fall early, especially when Boston goes on those crazy shooting streaks from downtown. In Game 5, Boston hit, like, 22 threes! So, I think it’s a mental block. The Knicks have the talent, but the Celtics know how to mess with them when it counts. Still, I hope this series flips that narrative!
