Can the Boston Celtics keep their Game 3 win momentum vs. the New York Knicks in Game 4?
Can the Boston Celtics continue the momentum of their Game 3 win vs. the New York Knicks in Game 4 of their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series on Monday (May 12) night? The Celtics will take the floor at Madison Square Garden hoping to win their second contest of the East Semis after dropping a pair of tilts at their own home court of TD Garden despite being up by 20 points in both Games 1 and 2.
Will the Celtics lean into the style of play that won them a title last season and 61 games in the 2024-25 regular season? Or will they let a lesser ball club dictate the terms of engagement again to fall into a 1-3 series deficit?
The hosts of the CLNS Media "Still Poddable" podcast, Brian Robb, Sam Packard, and Jay King, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Since the New York Knicks fired their head coach Tom Thibodeau last week, fans have eagerly expressed their opinions about the firing. Some felt that the move wasn't necessary after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years, but many others felt that despite that, a change was needed. Knicks' Josh Hart goes off on Tom Thibodeau haters on social media Josh Hart took to social media to defend his former head coach, and took a jab at those who have criticized him since he was let go. Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images 'All y'all talking trash about Thibs lame as hell,' Hart posted on X. 'A different direction was taken but y'all should be appreciative for what he did for the team and organization.' Advertisement Hart saw his best individual seasons under Thibodeau's coaching. Thibodeau trusted Hart seemingly more than any other player, playing him more minutes than anyone else and believing that his all-around impact made a huge difference on the court. Hart thrived under Thibodeau Hart had a strong 2024-25 season, averaging 13.6 points and career-highs in rebounds (9.6) and assists (5.9). He was one of the Knicks' most impactful players, bringing energy and hustle when the team needed that kind of presence. Credit: John Jones-Imagn Images His role could potentially look a bit different under a new head coach. Thibodeau notably benched Hart in favor of Mitchell Robinson during the Eastern Conference Finals, and there is a possibility that the next head coach will want to make that new starting five a regular thing. Advertisement Regardless, his on-court impact shouldn't change, even with Thibodeau gone. The hope is that a head coaching change will spark an opportunity for them to win an NBA title.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 21 - Ron Bonham (1964-66)
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the ninth of nine people to wear the No. 21, Boston wing alum Ron Bonham. After ending his college career at Cincinnati, Bonham was picked up with the 18th overall selection of the 1964 NBA draft by the Celtics. The Muncie, Indiana native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with Boston before temporarily retiring from the league, winning two titles with the team in a reserve role in that stretch. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Bonham wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 6.3 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

German Hartenstein says career has been a Game 7 ahead of NBA duel
Isaiah Hartenstein of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers (3rd from the left) sitting on the bench. Philipp Hülsmann/Philipp Hülsmann/dpa German-American basketball star Isaiah Hartenstein says he is well prepared for the pressure of Game 7 in the NBA Finals given how hard he had to fight at the start of his career. His Oklahoma City Thunder is locked at 3-3 with the Indiana Pacers ahead of the decider late on Sunday in Oklahoma City. Advertisement "I think my whole career has kind of been a Game 7," Hartenstein told reporters. "As weird as it sounds, I might have been more nervous going into training camp when I was on a training camp deal than now. That was where I was fighting, low-key, for my career. Just those moments where you don't understand it at the time kind of help you now navigate what I'm going through right now." The 27-year-old is playing in his seventh NBA season and has only truly established himself in the league since last year. After a strong season with the New York Knicks, he moved to the Thunder and signed a three-year contract worth $87 million. Previously, he only played minor roles during stints with the Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers. Advertisement Now he is on the cusp of basketball's greatest prize. Both teams are competing for their first NBA title in their current city but the Thunder, the best team of the NBA regular season, has home-court advantage and is therefore a slight favourite. "(The title) was a goal. It was definitely a goal," he remarked. "You never know what can happen. You try to do everything you can to get to this moment. We have the privilege to be in this moment, and we're ready to go."
