Boston will be emotional tonight, and not want to lose at home, plus we already beat them at home twice in a row. Three in a row is hard. Just managing expectations.

Tatum is great but they have plenty of firepower.

If we put Hart on Horford, I have a hard time seeing Boston able to consistently create a mismatch with Brown as the PnR ballhandler. Holiday and White are a little light in the pants to screen off OG and at least one of them will just switch Mikal. KAT has been doing mostly fine on Brown when the refs aren't calling him comically tight.

fr enough of the kids gloves ****. you can feel bad for jayson tatum but the boston fanbase deserves nothing but pain


I'll be real, I barely know this guy, but that's a screwed up thing to put out there. So F him. I know he's not representative of Boston-dom fans, but still. Imagine Spike Lee or someone saying some **** like this. I'm not even sure he has the balls to say that Mikal, though ...

Switch everything. Take away all uncontested 3's. Run the same actions as the 2nd half of last game. Kill them on the boards and in the paint. See if you can wake up one of Payne or Shamet up in a 5-10 minutes stint. Come home ready to face IND in the ECF.

LFGK. Get'er done, Donnie.

Did he mean it literally or a subtle reference to shooting follow through?

I honestly do think Boston pulls it out tonight but I didn't think we'd be up 3-1 at all.

In fact I thought we'd be lucky to win one.

We can’t afford to relax at all. They have enough weapons to steal this game and if we relax, then they’ll get it. Theres also the refs.

That said, I think OG and Mikal will lock up Brown. Let the other players beat us.

I think Brown plays hero ball tonight and comes up short. The one I'm really watching is KP. He said in his post game interview after game 4 that he was starting to feel like himself and his stamina was coming back. He has a personal agenda against the Knicks. He is going to be the X factor for them tonight.

We're gonna kick their azz tonight and this will be the end of this current Boston run/era (which was a great run, admittedly). They will be a very different team in '27.

I just thought about you saying they'll be emotional. First thing that came to mind was KP. I dont think he's passionate about basketball and I dont
think he really cares. Brown doesnt strike me as an emotional type. Very interested to see how Boston plays KG.
