Ok just talked to another fan in the supermarket and he talked me down off of the ledge. His attitude is "one game at a time". And he's right. Lets just see what the boys come out with tonite. Human nature has them wanting to show something from that embarrassment along with a Heat letdown. Despite Spo's coaching. He can't overcome the human nature for the players to let up thinking it's in the bag.

But then there's Spo and Butler, Butler especially is an assassin. Wish we had an assassin on our team.

Anyway lets see what happens. A win and it's back to Boston and hey, who knows? Thing is win tonite period. Shoulda been that way in game 3. But lets see if the veteran core of this team can pull themsleves together and get the team together for a win.

Only in this series. Dunno what happened to him. He was especially good shooting the 3 in the first two rounds.

Some of it is on how Miami defends and some due to lack of creativity in our offense. Both are allowing for bad habits to creep back in. BK must have a 2-hr long vid of questionable decisions by now, from this series alone.

I'm actually very excited for tonight's game. Going to be interesting to see how this Celtics team responds to major adversity. All eyes are going to be on Tatum/Brown/Smart to see if they bring maximum effort tonight or do they fold like a cheap suit. Should be fun to watch.

Call me crazy, but if the Celtics bring it tonight and pull out a victory to go 1-3 things could change quickly. If the Celtics win Game 4, I would give it a 50/50 chance this could easily snowball into a potential Game 7.

The question is will the Celtics bring it tonight?

Jaylen Brown has been horrible this series easily the worst playoff series of his career. The whole Celtics team is lost. Ironically the only two Celtics players that are offensively doing pretty well are G Williams and White and they barely get on the floor.

Rob has been great as well. Has he even missed in this series? Barely played last game. I’d put in our shooters alongside the starters/main guys. Nothing to lose. Try something else.

True, but they all have been horrible defensively including RW3. They have to bring it defensively or it won't matter.

9 hours to go. Can’t wait for this big preseason game!! I think our defense is slowly rounding into form during this training camp. We’ll be ready come playoff time.

Sign Pat Bev. He’ll bring some much needed attitude and toughness to this team and unlike Tatum, he’s not afraid to take a shot in the 4th quarter.

We already have that type of player in Smart lol. Two marcus smart in the lineup will spell disaster haha.

Smart cannot be back on this next year. But aside from that, Pat Bev is a better trash talker, has a better shot and his attitude is way more imposing. Smart is tough in the sense that he takes a lot of physical abuse but he doesn’t really do anything to get in other teams head or impose his will the way a Pat Bev would. Just imagine the Jays doing the “too small” taunt all game or Pat Bev running his mouth during the Pressers instead of relying on Grant “Imma make boof” to be that guy :lol:

. That is the attitude change this team needs, not Smart flopping on the floor and blaming all his bricks and turnovers on his team for the 10,000th time

Win one for the fans.

Who knows, this season has been a season of Celtic records broken by Jayson Tatum.

Maybe the Celts can become the first team ever in NBA history to win a series trailing 0-3.

It’s a good thing you don’t believe in jinxes because calling for us to sweep Miami multiple times before the series even with C’s fans pleading for you to stop might be what 100% of people consider a textbook jinx.

Textbook jinx?

Did you see Jaylen Brown attacking, all by himself, 3 or 4 Heat defenders?

That's not a jinx, that's just being stupid.

When you're passing the ball to Jimmy Butler instead of a teammate, that's not a jinx.

That's just turning the ball over.

All season long we've seen this team played dumb and stupid.

You can burn a thousand sages at the Garden and it still won't make the IQ of this Celtics team better.

Before game 3 I said they were ready to quit. Nailed it!

I think they fight for maybe half the game before giving up tonight.

Rob has been great on offense, but man he looks like a rookie again on defense

I am trying to figure out which result will be more like who we really are.

1- Get a big lead for most of the game only to piss it away..

2- Fall behind by a lot make a furious comeback but fall short in a "one last fake comeback"

Smart and Brown saying don’t let us win tonight at shootaround. This **** don’t work like that, Blake is the one that should have said it.

What are these two doing?? Lol. Enough words. Win before you can talk.
