Celtics' Star says it feels like death to lose the kinks.

For the star of Celtics, Jaylen Brown, the loss against the Knicks in the semi -finals of the Eastern Conference felt like “Death”.

Boston, the defending champion NBA Champions, entered the series with its rivals of the Atlantic Division as a severe favorite to advance with the processes between -750 and -1000. But after Jayson Tatum was torn in game 4 with an Achilles, the script was turned over and the underdog kinks should be expected.

“Losing against the Knicks feels like death, but I was always taught that there was a life after death, so we will prepare for everything,” said Brown reporter, after the Knicks won the Celtics 119-81 in front of their home fans in Madison Square Garden to win the series with 4: 2. “Whatever is next on the journey, I'll be ready.”

Not every Celtic felt the same way after he was displaced in the second round.

Kristapaps Porzingis, who was designed the fourth overall rank by the Knicks in 2015 and played four seasons for her before he was traded on the Dallas Mavericks, said that he was actually “happy” for his former team.

“The support of the Knicks fans was through the roof tonight and in the playoffs,” he said. “Incredible fans, incredible city and there is a side of me that is very, very happy for you. I wish you nothing but the best, you are class players we played against. You have done great things and I wish you nothing but success.”

A little more than a month ago, on April 8th, Porzingis started the Knicks for 34 points on the 8-against-13 shooting of depths when the Celtics beat the Knicks 119-117 in the garden.

But in the playoffs he fought against a viral disease that made it difficult for him to sometimes breathe. In the 6th game on Friday, Porzingis came from the bank and only played 11 minutes and scored four points with five rebounds and one block.

“I always try to play it down in my own thoughts,” he said to reporters. “It's like: 'I'm fine, I'm good.' But I think I don't know that my system is not perfect at the moment.

With regard to the trainers, some talking heads said that Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau was on the hot seat in the series. But now he has led the franchise to his first appearance in the final of the Eastern Conference since 2000.

The Knicks will have the HomeCourt advantage against the Indiana Pacers – the team that she beat in seven games in the conference a year ago – from Wednesday evening in the garden.

“I'm happy about Thibs, he has been training for a long time,” said Mazzulla. “For me it is the biggest, is that you pay your fees, you have produced everything. This guy is a lifer, man. He is everything that is about a trainer and he deserves it.
