Brown lost to the Knicks! Will Green Kai believe that the Rockets Mavericks become the winner when they are out?

Losing 38 points in the knockout round is a shame! The Boston Celtics were accepted when they left Madison Square Garden today.

New York Knicks ended their six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a score of 119-82, and the Celtics lost their qualification to advance to the Eastern Conference finals as NBA champions!

"It felt strange to end in May, and it was definitely not something we were ready for," said Celtics star Jaylen Brown, who fouled before the end of the third quarter when he scored 20 points but had seven turnovers. "Things didn't go the way we did this year, which is unfortunate. But we'll hold our heads up anyway. Losing to the Knicks feels like death. But I'm always taught that there's still life after death, so we'll prepare for the journey ahead.

Although they regained their momentum in Game 5, forced them back to New York and gave them a rare 3-1 reversal, the Celtics are no longer what they were when they saw star teammate Jason Tatum fall down in Game 4 with a tear of Achilles tendon in Game 4.

"We met a great team. You have to pay tribute to the Knicks,” said Celtics coach Joe Mazura. “They beat us. They played better.

Mazula changed his starting lineup for the fourth time in six games, with Luke Connett, the hero of Game 5 and the third different starting center for Boston in the series. But the Knicks didn't allow Cornet to bother them, then dominated the inside, crushing the Celtics on paint points (48-34), second chance scores (25-11) and rebounds (55-36).

The Celtics have never had the best center Kristaps Porzingis, who played 12 minutes on the bench, basically empty. He was key in the regular season against the Knicks, when he averaged 25 points per game with 50% shooting and Boston led 4-0. Porzingis, who fought the disease that has affected him since February, averaged 4.2 points per game on 6-for-25 in the series.

Porzingis said he plans to take a break in the next few months and do more testing, hoping to "reset" his system. He said he still plans to compete in the European basketball championship for his native Latvia in August.

Overall, the future of the Celtics is vague. As Tatum faces a long recovery period after undergoing surgery on Tuesday, that could erase his 2025-26 season, and if the roster remains the same, the Celtics will face a record payroll and luxury tax of up to $500 million next season!

Mavericks Rockets may pick up the Brown

Celtics' salary situation, Brown and Tatum have a total of 600 million yuan. It is not ruled out that the Mavericks use the No. 1 pick or the Rockets use their instant combat power to exchange Brown, etc. Tatum becomes a champion again in the year. The Celtics will soon be sold to a group led by investor Bill Chisholm. He has not yet clarified his spending plan after purchasing a majority stake in the team at a valuation of more than $6 billion this summer.

"You will never come back to this season. You will never have the exact same team again," Celtics guard Derek White said. "So obviously, there are some climaxes this season, obviously some troughs, but for the moment, it's just a little down."
