Seven games in, we're finally playing one in an arena with playoff atmosphere! Excited to see how our team performs in such an environment.

I would rank the TD Garden crowd 8th in playoff intensity and energy among all remaining team arenas.

Boston is often first in this area, but agreed it’s seemed crap so far, I reckon it’s expectations. Hard to get excited if you expect them to blow out the opposition every time. All they can do is meet that expectation which doesn’t excite them or fail which just further deflates the atmosphere.

Hopefully Cleveland will wake them up and realise Joe has been lying, there is a difference between RS and playoffs.

Plus 2 if my math is correct. By math is correct, I mean if the Celtics haven't really learned anything from past failures. And by the Celtics, I just really mean JT and JB.

Hmmm…my formula produced a different result. Different constants maybe? Mine is set to 1 loss from lesson learnt per series before they are rebooted and their memory wiped clean at the start of the next series.

That would still result in a championship. I will allow it.

Due to JT's underwhelming play, this has mostly gone unnoticed...

Don't worry, JT will leave soon.

If Tatum does not feel the love in Boston, he will go to the Lakers.

It's either the Cs trade him for D-Lo, Austin Reaves, and Cam Reddish or the Cs let him walk for nothing in 2025.

I don't even know how I could endure to watch the game highlights. Gosh, that was painful. On to the next one, but **** that last one hurt.

Haliburton had a strong game so JT still the one first option player currently left that hasn’t had a strong game yet in the playoffs…

JT's first option right now is to teach you how to tie your shoes.

Leave here for the Lakers? :lol: What a joke. He's gonna spend his career in the play-in?
