It is ideal because we know it won’t be there for game 5 :lol:

It’s all going to be okay people.

Anything can happen. I don’t think anyone expected Celtics to get blown out by 30 points in a finals game. Like come on now. Now you have a confident Mavs team. It’s one thing if this game were close and we lost. It’s another if they blow us out completely. If Celtics lose this year, they might as well kiss the team value and fanbase goodbye


Have a look at the record in history when teams are up 3-0.

They don’t lose this series.


History is broken all the time. You dudes act so ridiculous, this wasn’t even good practice for fans. They literally threw the game.

Jt and jb with a collective 22 shots attempted

They have got to us defensively tonight because they’ve been allowed to play much more physical.

Won’t be the same in game 5.


They have had us defensively for 5 quarters in a row now. So keep saying that if it helps you feel nice and positive.

First time all series he's played with zero pressure. Not worried about him.

Even though this game was trash by everybody I really wish Tatum was better these finals…he’s been good in the wins but he hasn’t played like a superstar. As the best player on the team, I hold him to a much higher standard

Acting like it’s a given they will just come back from 3-0 is more ridiculous.

Yep they seem like they have figured out something during that run in game 3 and now…. Boston better figure something out real quick

I can tell you this not rebounding the ball is going to get you beat, shooting deep contested threes is going to get you beat… you better find an adjustment because clearly Dallas has


Dallas has clamped them since that run in game 3



The refs have clamped them mate.

Dallas has nothing here. Don't worry.

Celtics in 5 with a 20 point win.

If Porzingis really any healthier than he was 2 days ago or are they just easing up on him being available in certain situations, which is vague af? Makes you wonder if he’s just in uni to not be in violation of injury report rules but the certain situations is so specific it’ll never happen.

We’ll win the title in a few days and I’m sure you find something else to be doomsday about

This is what concerns me. They gave a game away and allowed the Mavs to figure things out. This now becomes a coaching battle, and i genuinely have no confidence in our coach. shackles is right. If we see more of the same in game 5, we have to be legitimately concerned, right?

You'd think as Celtics fans we'd know some history. Memorial day massacre ring a bell? Unfortunately we lost the next one after winning the big win

He’s been mediocre. Can’t beat folks off the dribble this year at all so he’s forced to step back 3. There’s 0 reason why he isn’t getting past lively and afford with ease
