Boston advances to ECF 🍀 Should Celtics prefer KNICKS or PACERS in next round? | First Take 

Lmaooooo legler dropping his phone soon as he realized they were live

Legler dropped his phone like he was hiding something 🤣

Instead of focusing on the injuries, can we appreciate that Tatum plays lots of minutes but hasn't missed a single career playoff game out of 108 games?

SAS should never be allowed to step foot into the Garden

trust us Windy. we don't want SAS at MSG. we don't need bad vibes/negative energy to the game. SAS can watch the games at his home.

Knick fans do NOT claim SAS

Stephen knows why he didn’t go to the Knicks game. Fans, players and front office all HATE him…

I so hate that Stephen A. calls himself a Knicks Fan.

Molly basically said Jalen had her on lock 😂

Stephen a isnt really a Knicks fan lol. He’s more of a meme, I swear it’s like when times are tough he just doubts them

Give Tatum time he’s only 19

SAS is NOT a die hard Knick fan.

"Molly has been to more major events than me" 😂

It’s not about who Boston matches up better with, it’s about Boston not wanting a physical series before the finals if they win. The Knicks may not win the series but they will physically beat up on Boston. Indy will hand wave defend them. I’m a Celtics fan going back to the 1970s and I don’t want them to play the Knicks. At all. That’s a tough team even w the injuries and minutes.

America knows SAS is a fake Knicks fan we don't claim fake

The “holllllaaaa at ya booooyyy” always get me 😂

My godddd I can’t stand Steven A and I say that as a Knicks fan

I actually agree with Legs on this one. Bos def would prefer Indy. Both teams tend to lean more on the soft side, and with Bos knowing they have a better roster with a similar style of play, they can beat the Pacers more assuredly.

They talked about the potential return of Anonoby for the conference finals, but somehow not one person mentioned the potential return of Porzingis?? Stephen A and company are slipping!

1:29 That out of bounds throw off Wade was so *smooth* I'm the same age as Al and I couldn't be more impressed with his performance!

LMFAO the Al Horford video package I’m dead. 🤣

Celtics fans hate the Lakers, 76ers and Heat! They don't acknowledge the Knicks... why should they?

You really deserve all your success you kept posting those Costcoviseos and it eventually worked

I would prefer the knicks versus the Celtics because the history is deeper and also because of the history they have with kp

TROLLING STEPHAN A ABOUT HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO GO TO THE GAME IS HILARIOUS 😂😂😂

Pacers are predictable and weaker, Knicks are Celtics Achilles heel, they are unpredictable explosive and chaotic

The Pacers are struggling against the injured Knicks. But the Celtics should prefer the Knicks.

Me at 0:42 when I have to defend offensive tweets to my boss

NY can definitely give the Cs a series. As a Celtics supporter I'd prefer Indy as they can be out rebounded. NY are ridiculous on the boards and get lots of 2nd chance opportunities, which is a killer.

I guess no one remembers knicks record during the regular season against the celtics

SAS, if you're going to bring up heights, maybe get them right? Jalen Brunson "is a 6'1 guard" (he's 6'2) "a 6'5 Jrue Holiday" (he's 6'4)" "a 6'5/6'6 Derrick White (he's 6'4)" "a 6'7 Jaylen Brown (he's 6'6)" "and a 6'9 Jayson Tatum (he's 6'8)"

Intro is a REWIND must 😂

Stephen saying the Celtics should prefer the Knicks is hilarious.

"Jimmy's a big Knick fan, Jerry"

If I'm the Celtics I want the Pacers. Why would I want to play against a team that's going to ware me out before the finals. and SA need to stop claiming KNicks. We don't want you

Stephen A is ecstatic that his Knicks is leading the series who will decide who's gonna get REKT by Boston next LMAO This is like Orlando and Cleveland all over again, y'all just stepping stone for the Celtics' ascent to the NBA Finals

I love listening to Brian Windhorst!! He's so unbiased, knowledgeable & brings great insight to fans!! 🙌💯

As a Knicks fan, it’s not just the injuries, it’s where. If we had randle and OG, I like our chances with them matched up on Tatum and brown. We really need OG to be healthy for this series

The Celtics beat the Knicks 3 times when they had Quickley and RJ, beat us once after the trade, OG was out, obviously Randle and Mitch were out as well. Knicks beat them when Boston should've been resting their players for the playoffs. My point is, they haven't really played this version of the Knicks.

The man was playing like Prime ‘12 Horford from The Atlanta Hawks!

The ECF is a runner-up contest. Nobody in the East can beat the Nuggets or the Wolves, for that matter.

Don’t be scared Stephan A it should be a great series!!!!

I love it! 👍

Stephen A waffles so much. Legs and Windy are so concise, everything they say has meaning

Bro it just became a Knicks segment lol

As much as I despise Bostons existence, the fact is they’re going to run through either team so it doesn’t matter.

ppl forget staying healthy is part of any sports playoff. the team that wins is usually the one lucky enough to stay relatively healthy.

Stephen A slips in and out of a Bill Cosby impression when he's ranting

"i had work to do for ESPN" 😂

Legler "I think the Celtics would rather face the Pacers because of the Pacers style of play." Windhorst "OG is out of the pool and may be back for a game 3." Stephen A. "I miss every big sporting event! You've been to Paris Wendy!"

Holly meeting Al horford in a shakria concert??? What they both were doing there 😂

So much disrespect to the Celtics. It’s really insane

just let us have OG back and push em a little. They havent been challenged all playoffs. Playing mia's g league team, cavs g league team. tf is this lol.

SAS is ecstatic for the Knicks, so am I, if OG can come back for the ECF that would level the playing field a little bit. I'm hoping the Knicks could wrap this up on Friday.

Celtics ain’t even got out of bed yet, they like playin with they food, next round should be an actual challenge

The Knicks don't stand much of a chance to beat Boston but I believe the pacers are the easier opponent. The knicks are physical and will take their chunk of flesh before going out. The pacers can't defend a parked car and the Celtics will expose them.

Legs was on The Hub before going live

we aint worried bout either team ☘️

Y’all talk to the bosses for ya boy

SAS don't come back to nyc. Stay in LA and watch the games🙄

Celtics fans better not sale out tickets to NY fans coming to our house.

Who needs defense when you have the best offense? I mean it's about playing at your own strengths. Everybody's talking about defense when Indy constantly outscores them.

Did y’all catch the part at 4:55 when he did he doesn’t think it’s going to happen 🤔

The Celtics have the perimeter defense to shutdown either team, so I really don't think they care. Brunson has been unstoppable, but I don't really see him dropping 40 on Jrue Holiday.

My boy windy had on a new tie too why he ain’t get no love 😂

0:42 to 0:57 when you too high 😅😅

I was just saying Al has been playing too many minutes for his age too. Proved me wrong I’m happy to say.

No Jimmy butler for an entire series, no Mitchell the last 2 games of the series. Didn’t have to bump in Embiid or Greek. Might see a hobbled Knicks team. Celtics aren’t battle tested this playoffs. Denver or Minnesota clears them easily in the finals because of it.

They rubbing it in 😂

This one was pretty good lol

Who loves themselves more then Steven A loves himself…

Steven A sounds just like big mama 🤣

Ima go mess with my NEW YORK friend 😂😂😂

"Tall task for the celtics" is hilarious, the east was never a question

SAS promos are def elite

I have a feeling that the Knick vs Pacers will go to game 7. while the Denver vs Minnesota will be finish in 6 games wi th Denver advancing in the west Finals.

LOL at "I was so proud [of Tim Legler's broadcasting work]....a proud big brother". Stephen A., you are YOUNGER than Tim......

KP came back balling when he missed a couple weeks with that soleus thing this season. They need that to happen again. Maybe they should wait to lose one until they bring him back.

Molley taking shots at Jalen Rose is wilddd 😂😂

The Knicks are a great team. They play hard, and Brunson is clutch. Boston has the better starting 5. But Knicks have a complete team. Hoping Boston win it all!

Philly also preferred the Knicks too

In my big momma voice: Holla at ya boooooy

I’m with Stephen A… White, Holiday, Brown >> Brunson, DiVencenzo & Hart.

All this Celtics hate man… you cry when a good team steamrolls their competition and get mad when they beat the socks off everyone and don’t need to be in a dog fight every series. They’re just that good! Is it so hard to believe that they’ve been slowly rebuilding since 2013-14?? Tatum doesn’t have to be a superstar and score 40-50 every playoff game. Who does that? He doesn’t need to carry his team. He has another All NBA player next to him and 2 elite defensive players next Jaylen Brown in Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. Not to mention a 7foot freak in KP and old man Al that’s been in 177 playoff games that knows how to clamp down on the other teams star. Why is everyone so surprised they’re back? What do they need to do? Win a championship? Or is that not good enough either?

Stephen A is now a parody of himself 😅

This Celtics road to the finals hilarious because if Porzingis doesn't play and Denver is as healthy as they're gonna be Boston getting sent home in 5 lol

You just don’t want knicks ending in a sweep lmao

Sports analysts always bend the facts to fit their narrative Jrue Holiday is NOT 6’5”, he’s 6’4” Jaylen Brown is NOT 6’7”, he’s 6’6” Jason Tatum is NOT 6’9”, he’s 6’8” Jalen Brunson is NOT 6’1”, he’s 6’2”

" maybe even the girls from conneticut might be there." What is Molly talking about 🤔

Legler is a bigger Knicks family than SAS.

Boston has already played 2 depleted teams to get to the ECF. If they play a depleted knicks team in the ECF it'll single handedly be their easiest road to the finals... If they lose in the finals they need to go ahead and blow up that core roster..

Stephen A started spazzing

Same thing Philly said.

I actually wish the Celtics could play the whole series in MSG. They play much better on the road for some crazy reason.

Serious question, why does every Knick fan disapprove of Stephen A? 😂

Many didn’t believe the heat could defeat the Celtics last year! And what happened?! 😂

Alrighty now Steven A as Legler said, a lot of what you just said makes sense, but you gave every single Celtic you mentioned 2 additional inches on their actual height.

I want the Knicks my brother is a Knicks fan. It would be fun!

Am I messed up for being a Boston native and wanting to see Minnesota win a chip

HORFORD THEY POPPPPPPSSSSSSSS
