White was our MVP the first 6 games of the playoffs. Would love to see him get back on track along with Al as we close out CLE. But ultimately just win and stay healthy.

We didn't mess around vs Miami - when we had a chance to eliminate them in game 5, we did it - and we crushed them.

Let's do the same to cleveland !
1/11/24 The birth of a new Hal. From now on being less combative, avoiding confrontation - like Switzerland :)

I'm not that worried about Derick White. He was never going to shoot 50% on like 10 attempts per game for the entire playoffs, but I don't think he'll keep shooting 25% from three like he has the last 3 games. He'll settle in somewhere in between.

Everything is lined up to close this one out early and then have a bunch of rest time before the ECF for the big guy to get good again. Don't blow it!

Would I prefer a win and not see this place go full suicide watch for a couple days?

FINISH THIS. PERIOD.

SMASH THEM.

If the game somehow comes down to the wire, CLOSE PROPERLY FOR ONCE, DAMMIT.


PS I have too much going on in my life to write one of the essays I used to post in past years literally overflowing with the awesome accomplishments of the HOFER TRUTH - in response to the cherry picked BS posted in another thread by a classic Truth hater.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

I think Cavs will not play Mitchell and Allen for Game 5.

But if the Cavs win, I think we will see Mitchell for Game 6.

It would be an embarrassment if the Celtics give up another home game to this severely depleted Cavs Team. There's just no excuse if they lose this one.

Come on, this is the Celtics of Tatum and Brown.

They have a tendency to do the opposite of what we want.

Just don't ask them to win a championship so that they'll do the opposite.

Maybe this effortless attitude is a way to minimize injuries by the celtics. They give just enough to win. The other teams are plagued with injuries

I think Mitchell was going to play tonight if they had won Monday.

We are winning by a bigger margin than anyone else.

It’s all over. We’re all fighting for second place, Jokic is unbeatable.
