The Way I See It. We Have to Win 3 of the Next 4 Games.
Or the Season is Over. = Math: 101.

Lol Grant Williams liked this tweet.

Well, Tatum/Cs gonna have to beat Giannis/Bucks eventually to get to the Finals. Even if we chose the Toronto-Miami path, Cs still needed to beat the Bucks in the ECF. Not gonna write our obituary/postmortem yet. I still have Cs in 5. I'm stubborn that way.

I prefer to win 4 of the next 4, just to make a statement.

[tfribs45]

Win the next one and the series shifts to the C’s! Finish it in 6 or 7. Need JT to show up this time!

[Tyakack]

I think we lose this one, win game 5, and lose game 6. I think both teams will play relatively well next game with the bucks winning it. We lost the series with that last game. That was the game to steal and we didn't steal it. Just my opinion.

I think there's a greater chance we get blown out this game than it is of us winning it. Bucks know they got us on the ropes and they will come out looking to take a commanding lead. We will play better but so will the bucks and they will have the whistle on their side.

I will of course be rooting to be wrong but this is how I feel.

There's always next year, right?

I’m not even as concerned with the w/l at this point as I am about Tatum overcoming the diversity and seeing how he responds to this low. I think we will see what Tatum is made of these next couple of games. I think he will rebound in a big way tbh

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

Team probably isn't coming back from being down 3-1 so either they win tomorrow or by all intents and purposes the series is over.

Everything changes if the Celts win tomorrow.

But yeah, series will be over if the Celts go down 1-3.

[Romeiro Celtic]

Time to watch the tape… time to each one of them take a deep look inside and see what’s missing or what can be done diferently from what was done yesterday. Forget about the refs talk, thats in the past and its not gonna change, but they can change the way they play and overcome this adversity. We can do it!!

[Ben-N1ce]

Series is over if they don't win this game. Tatum lost the last game himself with that performance and the Celtics as a whole should be asking themselves how they are down when the Bucks are missing their 2nd best player. Right now they are flat out underachieving in the series.

[bisme37]

I've been thinking about how fragile this whole thing is. We lost and have to climb out of a hole now, and the board is super pissed and melting down and insulting each other. But if any one little thing had gone the other way it's a totally different day for us right now. One of the tips falls at the end, they don't miss an obvious goaltend in what turned out to be a 2 point game, Tatum makes just one of his missed 3's, the ball simply bounces the other way on the last Bucks possession when Jrue scored, etc.

Frustrating but I like to keep things in perspective and not overreact. Which, I know that annoys other fans lol. But we're right there and we're going to win this thing imo. Take Game 4 and it's tied and we have homecourt back. Go C's.

[Larry_Russell]

Celtics win the next 3 in convincing fashion and I become a massive, insufferable **** towards Bucks fans.

I think the anger is building, we are going to Smash them in the mouth next game.
Celtics win big

[Shak_Celts]

I came for the 2m report and I haven't found it here. I checked the post game thread, but I'm still so upset I only looked at the last page.

WIN THIS THING Cs!!!!

NBA PR releases it around 5PM ET. That report is gonna be interesting. Easy to claim that some of the plays were 50/50. Anyway, spilled milk. Just let the cat lick it.

I do hope our coaching staff at least sent the league office a clips compilation of the Giannis plays and missed calls though I'm afraid they'd just view it as a porn video.

By now, formula to beat the Bucks is kinda simple. Just need the guys to be more focused and disciplined. Keep Giannis/Bucks in the half court by limiting turnovers and dumb shots. Move ball/bodies and make quicker decisions with the ball to shift their defense. And ffs, don't start your offensive sets with 10 secs left on the clock. Enough shots will fall, just got to stick with core principles.

Oh, and don't let the officiating or missed shots affect the rest of your game. Looking at you, JT!

[31to6]

gut check time for a team that I believe has the requisite guts

and hey TAKE SOME TEN FOOT SHOTS flip shots, hook shots, runners, random pull-up Kobe shots I DON'T CARE JUST **** TAKE WHAT'S THERE PLEASE thnks everything everyone's told you about the mid-range for the last 5 years is temporarily banned, it's opposite day

(mostly Tatum and Brown -- not so much you, Grant and Marcus)
