Yeah I was nervous there for a moment, thought Joe should have called a timeout as soon as they cut it to 10.

Good win

Some VC thoughts:

-- The candidates are Tatum, Smart, White and Team.
-- Horford had a sneaky good game at the offensive end, with the rebounds and assists, but he doesn't rise to the level of the top candidates overall.
-- The 20-5 opening run is what won the game. The stars of that run were Tatum, Smart and maybe Horford.
-- "Team" makes a lot of sense, between the balanced scoring and the defense.
-- Tatum's "gravity" is partly reflected in his assist numbers.

Someone ask Butler how that momentum carried over.

Game 6 will be a barfight if this version of the C's come to play.

That's why I kept saying it, the Heat just got hot at the right time.

We'll see if the Heat can shoot and make miracle shots again in Game 6.

1 game at a time for this team seems to be the only way.

Btw, I feel as if Pritchard could be due for a big game if he gets the minutes. I still believe he will be a decent role player even if not in Boston.
Good assessment:

I don't know. He got a chance and immediately decided to heroball it, turned it over and was gone. I think that's his last meaningful minute in a Celtics uni.
