This is a big Al Horford night after game 4 rebounding differential. Let’s go Al, this is your moment.

We need X, or Luke or Brissett or even Queta … we need a big showing on the glass

LETS GO!

He'll probably just play a couple of minutes once banner #18 is in the bag.

(If you ask me, I wouldn't even play him a second -- no need to risk further injury and compromise banner #19.)


I say again -- no reason for a ceremonial appearance. He's already made major contributions to this series on the Garden floor. Either play him for real, or don't play him at all.

That said -- it would be amusing to START him, just to throw off Dallas' planning. :)

Unlikely. He's still working on fluency in actual English.

10-15 good mins from Kristaps and the game is probably over. Probably won't happen though. Have to close out without him most likely.

I think the key factor here will be the hustle and not giving up on any play. Another thing is that we should be a lot more aware of DRB and ORB. We can't be giving up second chances like we were last game and we can't come into the game thinking this is already done.

It's hard to erase the memory of that historic POS on Friday.

Tonight has to be the night, right?
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Huh? Isn't Porzingis fluent enough in the English language? I mean, my English kind of sucks, but Porzingis' English language skills are very good, if not great.

How many times have we gotten drummed like that and followed up with a loss? Can’t be many
