Have to finish it this game. It is very unlikely for us to lose the series at this point but I do not want to extend it any longer. Win game 4 and do not drag it out so we do not gas out against Indiana.

My guess is we see a 3 point barrage by committee to start from the Cs. If we withstand that without getting into a deep hole I think we advance tonight. Especially if one of our wings gets going as Tatum's defense is a critical part of what he brought.

Off the court it's all grace in light of what's happened and in light of playing a fair and honorable opponent. On the court, no quarter. Can't let this group catalyze around the loss... H&H turn back the clock... KP get a rush of adrenaline to offset whatever's going on there. White and Houser get cooking from deep. Brown return to Finals MVP form. There's still a threat that we can't let grow. A lot of talent on this squad and talent that knows how to win at the highest level.

Clearly the Knicks are going to win this series but I’d love to see Boston be annoying and at least win tonight and make things remotely interesting.

Looking ahead to that series is why we have to be so focused on ending this one tonight

ESPN is the LeBron slurper machine. Dudes were still talking about the Lakers days after they were gentlemen swept.

They sit there bashing a player for his performance in a particular game... and the stats they have on the screen aren't even the player's real stats.

And then as much as I want to get annoyed with "the media," fans sit there and eat it up to the point of making a RGM thread promoting it and telling us to watch.

Two words

Obi Toppin

But Celtics is not done ,they might actually play smart basketball and trade Tatum missed threes for solid twos

This series is not over by any means :D
