you're right, my bad.

only time a team has come back from 0-3 was our red sox in 2004

That's a fair one to overlook.

But that's what Ben Simmons will do, that guy is a monster and everybody should be ready.

Is this a joke?

What are the odds that Kyrie doesn’t play Game 4? Any chance Simmons plays?

the only team to ever come back from down 3 games to 0 and win the series was the lebron/love/kyrie cavs.

so yeah, kyrie will play. simmons? IDK.

kyrie will probably quit and stop playing hard though if we take s big lead in game 4.

Lots of teams have come back from 3-1. So let’s end it Monday!

This bit gave me goosebumps. The whole bench roaring and Tatum standing infront of them. “Something special is going on in Boston”.

Oh no doubt something special is going on. I've seen this team do magic in stretches. Pure magic. I've never seen a team where ALL the players are playing their best ball. Shooting, stealing, passing......all at the same time together. That is something special to see.

Something else special is the emergence of the 1 and 2. JT and JB. If not the best 1-2 close to it. JT is emerging at perhaps the 2nd best two way in the league. I'd put Kawhi as #1. Can't think of who else up there. We've got a lot of scorers and shooters but two-ways are rare. JT is showing us his defense on KD and showing his two-way committment that most scorers/shooter lack.

JB is an amazing #2 who is developing into a tremendous rim finisher. I don't think he has shown this much before. But it's almost as if he can finish at the rim at will. Certainly with someone soft defending him. He gets in and finishes virtually every time.

Oh and Rob, Timelord, man oh man. I took the time to really look at what he does in isolation in youtube videos. He is a freak. Not that tall but a 7'4 wingspan and a quick jumper. Doesn't need to gatther to get up. Just springs up from his ankles. I'm sure he did something when he was younger to develop that. It's not common. Most jumpers have to gather themselves. He just springs up.

So hell yeah there's something special going on heree in Boston.

[Brett43]

Yes, something special is going on.

This team is far more impressive than the ones that made it recently to the EC finals. At this point, I actually believe they can win it all. The Suns are a great team, so maybe it won't happen. But damn this team is good and they have heart.

As for game 4, the Celtics need to drop the hammer. Finish it.

[Bostondave]

When the Celts are tapped into the magic spring they're unbeatable. Period. Unstoppable. Thing is as the playoffs progress that magic will be harder to tap. But if they do......ooo boy. No team can withstand them. No team period. WTF can you do with a team where all the players are firing on all cylinders? Nothing except get your soul snatched from you. It's not only impressive to see but it's demoralizing to the other team.
