“We trust everyone, even Al.. especially Al!” little bit of a Freudian slip there from JT on the post game :lol:

Yawn.

A lot of posters looked silly in the GT.

As expected here is where it starts, in the ECF.

Stay mad, fools.

Yeah, as if the Cs didn't work hard to get the #1 seed and did a GREAT JOB of managing the load of their key players.

Halfway there.

The way easier half. We've been coasting down a slight decline, we're just starting to head uphill. With some luck we can reach the summit.

Was that Mook's career game? Best game he's ever had at TD Garden at least.

Big Al and Team get my votes.

Aside from some early defensive miscommunications which they cleaned up, I thought it was a very good performance.

Cleveland were DESPERATE, shooting hot and had nothing to lose and we stuck with it and closed it out in a professional manner with our best stretch execution.

Get some rest.

That looked a little harder than it should have been but at least we took care of business. Did Al really want those extra days off or what?

Al for VC and Tatum for CP.

All I ask for the next series is start 2-0 at home and put massive pressure on the road team to even it up.

Great to see the Celtics win another short series, more rest for KP, JT is starting to turn it up. Let’s goooo

What's that 5 ECF in 6 years?

We need that Ring.

The C's were mediocre until about 8 minutes to go. Then they put their foot on the gas. Gallant effort by the Cavs though.
I voted White and Jrue. Defense.

Won’t lie, I want the Knicks. I do think that series goes 7 games (Pacers/Knicks)

Tatum - 5th conference finals appearance
Brown - 6th conference finals appearance

Embiid - Zilch.

Fierce1 · Post #36 » by **Fierce1** » Thu May 16, 2024 1:33 am

We really need to get used to this unconventional style of basketball the Celtics play.

They really stick to their game plan and strategy.

Will this lead to a championship?

We'll find out soon.

Great but 0 rings between the 3 which is all that matters. This team needs to play a lot better on offense.

Draymond asked JT some pointed (also funny) questions on Inside the NBA.

Al smelt that rest and said we are not messing around today.
