DWhite also had a nice bounce back game.

Morris was pretty much Durrant tonight and Mobley was Giannis.
Good win. It’s hard to close a team out unless it’s Miami.

Celtics have played 10 playoff games so far.

Record 8-2 in those 10 games
held opponent to under 100 points per game in 7 of those 10 games.

Papa Al said he needs a rest, and decided to take the lead.

3 days rest is good for everbody, except KP.

I mean the 3 days doesn't really have an effect on KP.

Doesn't look like KP is returning any time soon.

Hopefully Game 4 of the ECF.

FINALLY PLAYED BALL FOR ‘MOST’ OF Q4!
First 3 quarters were painful.
Should not have been this hard vs depleted Cavs.

AL HAD A THROWBACK GAME FOR THE AGES!
JT had his share of dumb non-alpha plays - but finished w a massively impressive line.
Derrick bounced back very well.
Jrue woke up in Q4.
Pritch hit some BIG SHOTS when it mattered.
7 was GARBAGE - except for some occasionally good D. I want him gone on 7/1.

Root for the Pacers tomorrow!
And let them have a triple OT G7 on Sun.

Get back to dynamic ball movement offense & D all 48 when Zinger returns for G1 of the ECF next Tuesday!

PS Coach Bubbles still sucks.

Game 4 is around 4 weeks from the time KP got hurt.

If he can't make it back after 4 weeks, that's a bad sign.

Nice win.

VC goes to Al and Tatum. Both were great.

White played well. Jrue and Brown were solid. Pritchard was good off the bench.

This should have been a 20 point lead going into the 4th quarter against the Cavs and most of their bench. Celtics haven't been dominant. There is room to improve.

That looks really good. However the 1st round was against a terrible Miami team without Butler and Rozier.
The 2nd round was against a Cavs team that was without Allen and Mitchell missed 2 of the 5 games.

Basically Heat without Butler and Rozier are a lottery team.
Cavs without Mitchell and Allen are a lottery team.

Yeah, especially JT.

JT has been good, but not great.

Let's see if a chance to win another Larry Bird trophy makes him play better.

The good news is the Cs only needed 5 games in each series against these lottery teams.

So you’re just speculating he’s going to be back by game 4 without any new information ? lol

Can someone explain why the hell we continue to wear putrid as jerseys in the playoffs like those horrific black jerseys tonight

Talk about selling out to Nike

I heard the 4-week timeline from one of the CLNS podcasts I listen to.

Unfortunately it's likely an directive from Adam Silver and the NBA.

It's annoying but I take consolation out owners don't force our fans attending the game to be universally decked out in the same universally shared coloured/themed t shirts, looked so Cringe worthy at OKC tonight.

That's been bothering me for a while now tbh (those annoying home team same tee wearing crap in the playoffs)

Wondering if anyone else feels the same way ??

Who smokes the big playoff cigar?
