Can the Boston Celtics bounce back and beat the New York Knicks?

In a shock turn of events, the Boston Celtics are one game away from elimination in their second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. Joe Mazzulla's team has let double-digit leads slip away in each of their three losses, making their current situation even harder to stomach.

To make matters worse, Jayson Tatum has been ruled out indefinitely after suffering a right Achilles tendon tear during game four on Monday, May 12. As such, the Celtics now risk being eliminated from the postseason in front of their hometown fans at the TD Garden on Wednesday, May 14.

During a recent appearance on the "Taylor Talks Celtics" show, Richard White remained confident. He refused to rule out the potential for a historic comeback and for the rest of Boston's roster to step into a bigger role in Tatum's absence. White also praised Joe Mazzulla for his continued growth, noting that Tom Thibodeau is a far more experienced coach and has had decades to perfect how he approaches things on a game-to-game basis.
