A-rod and Jeter in the house looks like the comeback is on.

A-rod is really only there to stalk J-lo but that could’ve all but sealed the series win for us.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Miami still up so it doesn’t matter but the Celtics have to find a way to come back to Miami and Miami might just get tight. Miami still in control though.

If it wasn't for that absolutely pathetic 3rd quarter in game 1 this could be a different series.

The new mantra of this team moving forward should be - "It ends at 150". :P

Too soon?

Where has the team that played the second half tonight been this series? This should infuriate Celtics fans honestly. There is zero excuse to not bring this type of game to every game of the playoffs.

At some point I hope Caleb Martin slows down lol. It’s good to see some of the heat role players finally come down to earth for once

Yeah this was all effort. You can tell by eye test how hard they played this game compared to the other trash games. Even games 1 and 2 they were up double digits off talent not effort

The Tatum midrange is money. Where has that been these past few games?


This past season
It was 3 or drive

We called for it all season long
And for JT post up

Just give me a game 6 back in Miami and anything is possible at that point but they have to win game 5.

Good, not great, win. Now back home. Focus on winning game 5.

One game at a time.

Agreed. I would love this team if they played with the defense they brought in the 2nd half. Like Barkley said sometimes they just think they're too cool for that.

Tatum’s midrange is so under used the last couple years, it’s elite. Yet the simple answer of parking him in the middle of the zone is just coming up.

Joe should have more play for mid range. This is the only way we can break the Miami Zone and finally open up Celtics basketball. Let’s see how he coaches next game.

Heat cut the lead to 6 before Tatum was brought in. 28-16 to end the game. How you do it.

I think it is 151 after LAL loss
1+5+1 = 7

Celtics in 7
