We got them right where we want them. Don't ask me how. We just do.

It's a tough Road from here. It can be done, though.
We gotta win the next one.

I don't remember game 7 of 2018 ECF being fun.

Smart is shooting too much.
Another Adebayo dunk?
Tatum is passive!
Brad? WTF? Learn to beat a zone.
Those aren't real fans. Enough with the piped in cheering!
Shut up Mark Jackson.
Fire Danny!
Oh that's a nice move Jaylen.
Kemba is bringing it tonight!
Shut up Stan Van Gundy!
You know? Hayward looks pretty good.
Smart - winning plays!
On to game four!

Last year's Raps team beat Philly in seven games (on Kawhi's buzzer beater), then dropped the first two to the Bucks before completing the backdoor sweep.
We're in the same spot. And we have yet to lose an away game since August 4th (against the Heat, albeit).

I dont think its over necessarily but I really do not have much hope at this point. I predicted a 15 point win but the Celtics are 2 for 2 in blown games and have yet to show they can consistently operate on the offensive end.
Obviously a must win here.

They have every right to be happy & confident but damn there’s a lot of Heat fans doing victory laps already.
The boys should be fired up for game 3 after the what went down in the locker room & the return of Gordon.
Celtics in 6 !

Need to lead by 30 to weather a comeback storm from the Heat. No, make that 40.

Did not watch game 2 because getting up in the middle of the night midweek is a bit too much...
Just watched a bit of the second half in the morning though and it is just so frustrating how we are losing leads. I have to say it really seems everything is going heat way... They are outhustling us true but they are also lucky.
We are not far off. Just keep playing hard. We saw how the raptors climbed back into the series. I am hoping Hayward is back for game 3 to give us a little boost. We just need to win game 3 then we have 4 days off.
Win game 3 and we are back in this series!

I just hope Gordon is back, finally. We need a playmaker even for the passing. He could also post up guys like Robinson and Herro(even Dragic)... and take advantage of the post-ups.

The thing that I would like to see if Gordon is able to play 20+ minutes is a lineup of Smart/Gordon/Brown/Tatum/Theis.

Btw, I was also thinking I would give Langford a chance, maybe, I dunno. I mean Semi is borderline useless, he's probably due to get cut this offseason.

We should try to win big this next game. Those blown big leads the previous two was deflating. The fact that we can’t stop their pick n roll with Bam, is really concerning. I really hope Hayward comes back this game. We might need the boost. If we lose the next one, then he might as well go home to his wife. I feel that if we keep the game close, we might not have the mental toughness to grind it out. They have the momentum, they have the confidence, better coaching as well. Anyways, anything can happen. Maybe getting hayward back might change something. Who knows! Must win game!

Nah! Langfords too soft and fragile. This is not the right time experimenting. I don’t want to see any Semi at all next game please.

Stop pounding the rock like we did in the 3rd and it should be our game.. If you look at pts per qrtr in game 2 we only lost the 3rd qrtr. Quite painfull to see that only 1 qrtr was the main reason for the loss in game 2.
