No 2 "superstars" on the same team will let there beat go down by 50 points. I've said for a few years now that we are a .500 team with Tatum and Brown. White and Holiday make us contenders. KP added to the mix makes us a championship team.

We haven't been playing well in the playoffs when KP hasn't played despite our great records. Most of the wins have been close games with the other teams key player or players being out.

Boston needs all their starters to play well in game 5. They need the crowd at it's best to beat the Mavs. Or else there is a good chance we won't be winning number 18. Our bench has been terrible. I've been calling for Brissett and Queta to play for fews now. Joe won't do it because he is a robot. Stays with same bench guys. Pritchard and Hauser have had the struggles. Tillman is solid. Our wild cards are Brissett and Queta to give us a boost/energy off the bench.

Luka and Kyrie were just .500 before the trade deadline.

It was only last game that the Jays combined for 61 points in a big Game 3 win.

Even superstars are allowed to have bad games.

There's more evidence that the Jays are superstars compared to they are not superstars.

Let's not forget that Al only had 3 points and White only had 6 points in this game.

One bad game does not unsuperstar the superstars.

It’d be great to throw Queta in to try to offset Lively on the glass and protect the rim with size/length. Like put Queta in for like three or four minutes with Lively on the court to see how it goes. I think that’s a great idea, I’d try that. If the minutes don’t go great you don’t have to stick with it.

The reason I don’t think we’ve played Queta is because Queta doesn’t stretch the floor and provide spacing. If Queta could shoot threes he would play. So I don’t think he will play even with KP hurt.

It’s very frustrating to have one way to play and only one way to play. So this is a super opportunity for the coaching staff to come up with a couple adjustments and throw a couple curveballs. Could be Queta could be Brissett, we’ll see.

I am sometimes critical, but the coaching staff has always bounced back after losses throuhout these playoffs.

Please, go into next game and blow them out. Let's raise that banner.
Good assessment:

There must've been a lot of nervous energy coming into game 4, being at the brink of a freakin championship. But hopefully they got that out of the way and they'll be going into game 5 with a lot of anger. The Jays should attack Luka at every occasion. Luka's gonna get his points, but he should not be let off the hook on defense.

It's gonna be worth it when close it out in 5 at the garden. The crowd is gonna be going absolutely nuts. "Tatum from 3......BANG! BANG!!!" It's gonna be epic.

The extender made sure Boston played tight and frustrated, the shots weren't falling early, and they mailed it not long after.

Felt like they just wanted to get back home.

When a guy like Dereck Lively is making a corner 3, it's clearly their night.

We won 10 straight games before last night fellas, calm down lol

Oh & nice to see Joe’s biggest fans come out in unison & blame him for this. I already have questioned some of you for your basketball knowledge but it’s clear as day you guys have no idea what your talking about if you think Joe was the main problem here.

Was just their night. They played hard and were rewarded with all the bounces. Couple days to recover and adjust. Dallas a team with no pressure right now and that’s a dangerous team. Just put them to bed on Boston Game 5.

Celtics blew a 9-6 lead with 39 minutes and 22 seconds to go. We had them on the ropes! All we had to do was hold on to that lead. Gonna be better at it next time.

This team pisses me off so bad, what a shameful performance in what should've been a closeout game.

Wouldn't be surprised if we were the first team to have blown a 3-0 lead, would be very fitting to this group, just pathetic.

I’m really sorry guys, I’ll have to put my hand up and accept blame for this loss.

One of my good friends who is a Celtics fan who hasn’t had time to watch many games this year warned me that despite a 79-20 record he had only been able to watch 3 times for three losses. He has avoided watching the finals because of his bad Juju and I said don’t worry, let’s catch up for some food and watch the game.

Good news is he has agreed not to watch game 5.

This was like the road loss to Milwaukee back in January.
