It's just tough to feel good about these games especially when home court doesn't give this team any advantage whatsoever.

Go hard and win this, please close it out in Philly. Thanks.
Good assessment:

If I had to guess how this game goes, I think tonight is a blowout win and then Game 6 is where they make up for the mistakes they made in Game 4 & execute properly down the stretch in a close game to close it out on the road

Expecting a big game from Tatum. It's all about game 6. If this goes 7 it will be a major disappointment.

At this point I just want to win and move on. This series has already been a disappointment. Watching Harden go off on us twice has been pathetic.

I’m more pissed off about this last loss then the first one and I’m almost too worked up to watch the game…our losses are like watching the same game over and over….

I really hope we play good basketball tonight... I’m so frustrated with our group right now.

Play good D

Make freaking free throws!!!
Stop standing around the 3 point line and attack the basket.

If we are not up 10+ at that point just turn off the TV and avoid frustration.

Celtics 8-7 in their last 15 home playoff games. Absolutely mind boggling.

Not a chance. This series is going 7 games. This is who this team has been for years now.

I'm confident because the C's are coming off a loss and the series is 2-2 so zero percent chance they don't bring it... My confidence has nothing to do with homecourt. Which is kind of sad.
