After Game 5 Loss, it's Now Do-or-Die for C's

The Boston Celtics have their backs against the wall. There is simply no more room for error, or their season will be over.

After dropping Game 5 Tuesday night in Atlanta, 110-83, the C’s now face a 3-2 series deficit and are on the verge of elimination from the postseason. Boston has two chances to avoid that fate, and opportunity No. 1 will take place Thursday night when it hosts the Hawks for Game 6.

Following Tuesday’s loss, coach Brad Stevens immediately shifted his focus to Thursday, and will not look ahead or behind as his team prepares for the must-win contest.

like i said after the game 2 beat down.. we will come back and tie this series up.. and i will say it again.. after the beat down we had yesterday.. BEST BELIEVE WE WILL TIE THIS SERIES UP AT 3-3..

CANT WAIT FOR GAME 7 and eliminate the Hawks like usual in the past years..

Can't wait to send home schroder and teague.. theres no way those 2 players actually have fans..

[BillessuR6]

Lets win! Maybe we do not have a lot of talent but we have HEART!!!

[CelticsPride18]

I think we win this one. Game 7 will be tough but I hope it's close.

[truth18]

Must win.

[rickrolled]

Let me put things clear, Stevens just threw the game last night, yes he did!

Too late to call timeouts 2-3 times after 10-12 pt run EACH time! Too many minutes for sully and ko on the floor together, why ? Just why ?

Just outcoached on every possession, cant believe this crap last night, Im still f***** up mentally and emotionally from that **** performance.

[rickrolled]

One thing I always observed is, Stevens waits toooo long to call timeouts, is he saving them for later ??

How about stopping the butt whooping a little sooner Brad ?

I'm trying to give the guy a break but I seriousely cant understand how zombie like he looks, either coach or gtfo, im sick of this shi

[PierceFan4ever]

don't suck

[FlatearthZorro]

Win or go home.

[Ben-N1ce]

If they lose I don't see how they win the series.

[SMTBSI]

Must win.

Man, I was going to make that post.


Anyway, there's no doubt in my mind we defend home court. No guess yet at what happens after that point, but I'm very much looking forward to this team and Brad's first experience of game 7.

[FlatearthZorro]

If they lose I don't see how they win the series.

Shush! Sherrod might read this, steal it, and make an article and video out of it....

[London2Boston]

Hawks will have Game 7 at home at the back of their minds, whereas our guys should be fighting for their lives. Should be a win and then a game 7. I thought we were losing in 5 when AB went down so a game 7 where we can can all pray to the old gods and the new wouldn't be a disaster for me.. Or be it incredibly tough to pull through.

[Marvel]

No more zone defense. Energy, effort, hustle and defense, team work That's who we are...now let's make some Hawk stew.

[ConstableGeneva]

WE GOT THIS! Just like I said before game 5. And game 4. And games 3 and 2. And also game 1. WE GOT THIS!

[jfs1000d]

Sick of all the whining about talent and the retro tanking wish. Let's win this game and steal game 7. Not that freakin hard to do. Win at home, win on the road. Get it done!

Where's the injury update on IT? If he's not effective then we are toast. We could get one win at home maybe but, definitively not game 7.

[BRUNiNHO91]

IMO this is it for Boston this year. I think we gave them too much confidence after that blowout. They destroyed us..I expect us to keep it close but fall short in the end. Doesn't really matter since I have absolutely no confidence in this team winning in Atlanta..at all.

[3pt %]

Eh, who knows?

After 2 games we were done.

After 4 games we were taking the series in 6.

After 5 games we are done.

Its Boston v Atlanta, no one knows what the hell is about to happen.

Boston in 7! Here. We. Go.

Game 7 would be a beauty. Would be very proud of our guys if they won tomorrow and force a final game. Would be cool if AB came back for a game 7 also..
