Celts call on the Druids to dispel insidious blood Magic. Post Game

[Setshot33]

Very fortunate to be up in the series with the brain dead offense this team plays.

No coaching and no bench but I pray they end it it Boston.

[Memokerobi]

Horford is the easy pick for me. I think the team rallied around him. Raised the intensity on defense and had 5 blocks. Stood up to their BS. Even when he got that defending over the line technical, it showed how much effort he was putting out there. Can’t be impressed enough with him at his age

VC goes to Tatum, some really good stretches and clutch at the FT line

Bench needs to pick it up. We’re missing Jrue’s presence badly

[The Corey's]

The Celtics needed this kind of series for OKC but I'm concerned at the lack of adjustments. They're winning on depth but certainly not on coaching.

Let's hope this wakes them the **** up.

[Parliament10]

We should have knocked them out, 4-0.
We need to get Everyone as healthy as possible, and go somewhat Stronger in the next Series.

[Parasite]

Easy vote for Horford. He must’ve drank from the fountain of youth before the game. As an aside, I want to see KCP bleeding by the end of next game.

[Riverwalk2021]

Tatum doing everything to win but White should definitely have more plays called for him. He is finishing very well at the rim especially with Brown laboring. Less ISO stuff particularly KP catching it at the ft line.

Al is our best playoff big. He’s an incredible defender when considering his age. I honestly feel KP is a net zero if we’re lucky when he’s in.

Pritchard a no show on offense but has learned to do the little things to help which is great but really need Jrue in there. Hauser scoring a point is a pleasant surprise.

[djFan71]

23-24 from the line for the jays.

Forget to say,I went Al and JT.

[Parliament10]

VC = Tatum, for the Star Playing.
CP = Horford, for Righting the Ship.

LOL - you're not wrong about the offense.

[Smart2Nesmith43]

Playoff Al is beautiful thing. Crazy that Tatum had a good not great offensive game and still dropped 37 on the #2 defense in the league.

[Jellybeans]

Plz lets end this at home because i wanna see basketball and not some dirty circus and ref show.
Does KPs "fouls" from refs where something else

[Bad-Thoma]

Up 3-1 against a solid, physical defense in the playoffs and every third post in the victory thread is **** on the team. I'm remembering why I took a break from the board.

JT and Al. Al is the **** man.

[Lee Van Cleef]

It’s like a series from the 90’s. Ugly games, suffocating defenses, few 3’s. It’s gonna be a gentleman’s sweep as most of us predicted.

[Riverwalk2021]

Our best lineup are the Jays, White, Jrue and Al. If we can keep all these guys relatively healthy the rest of the way, I like our chances. Our best 5 two way players. The playoffs is a marathon and all about health/versatility. Specialists like Hauser and softies like KP don’t thrive in these conditions where the refs swallow their whistles and scrub teams don’t exist.

[Tatumfor2]

I also went with JT and Al. Shout out to JB and his much improved free throw shooting!

[31to6]

good win, close it out on Tuesday, voted Tatum and Horford for the cigars.

Rant: I've been here a long time but the game threads mostly suck. The Corey's and everyone else whining about the coaching suck. Complaining about the refs constantly also sucks. I know complaining about how much several of you suck ALSO sucks, so warn me but please don't ban me, I'll just stay out of game threads as I have almost all year. But to say it clearly: people who just complain about coaching and reffing all the time are losers, probably in lots of aspects of their lives, and I know places like this on the internet are a safe space for you, so cool, I guess, but also maybe grow up a bit and/or try to be a more engaging and/or interesting and/or pleasant-to-be-around human.

You're rooting for a team with a legit chance to win a second straight championship. ENJOY IT while it lasts!

[Memokerobi]

Also 30/32 from the ft line as a team was pleasantly shocking and won us the game

[Bad-Thoma]

Up 3-1 against a solid, physical defense in the playoffs and every third post in the victory thread is **** on the team. I'm remembering why I took a break from the board.

JT and Al. Al is the **** man.

edit: I reread the thread and I overstated it. Just a couple Negative Nancys. My bad, carry on people.

[playa-hater]

I want Al signed for next season.. Even if he sits all regular season. He is made for the playoffs

[exculpatory]

Gritty win

JT overall brilliant - clutch hoops & FTs.
Jaylen - Good D all game - awful first half - excellent second half.
Al is just a man’s man - 5 blocks, awesome D.
Pritchard invaluable D.
DW overall outstanding game on both ends as usual.
Zinger dramatically better than G3.

Those guys play like animals….credit to Banchero & Wagner - outstanding ballers.

3-1
3 down 13 to go.

FINISH THIS **** ON TUESDAY - as we limp into G5 (hopefully w invaluable Jru - a shorter & somewhat younger version of Big Al)

Hope Pistons extend the Knicks 2 more games.
We need down time with almost everyone hurt w something.
