Tatum, White and Pritchard need to pull their heads out of their butts. They've been putrid.

I can't imagine they could possibly play worse than in game 4.

Celtics win the game and finally get over the hump.

Play like it’s the last basketball game they’ll ever play. Leave it all out there. I really feel like Tatum is due to have a big game and game 5 is the biggest game both the Jays might ever play. Make history Monday night Celtics!!

I was completely unbothered by the last loss. Losing this one however.....That would be a major cause for concern. That being said, I don't think there's a chance in hell we lose this one. I would be shocked.

Our turn to play with some desperation and fight. Can’t afford this to go back to Dallas. Let’s become champions.

Now that I have taken the time to read about KP's injury, I get the sense that if he does return, he won't be at full strength.

We ideally need a hungry Al to show up and dominate like he was 10+ years younger. And if not, would like to see Queta or Tillman. I like Tillman cause of his physicality and defensive acumen, although Queta is probably the better rebounder and matches up fine with both Lively and Gafford.

I like Queta in some situations, but our Brilliant coach did not have to foresight to play him in the regular season almost at all, just in case he may be needed come playoffs.

Queta will not be getting a chance.

I wouldn't go that far. It's more like 96.4% for me.

X is too small against Lively and Gafford. We should use Kornet. Luka and Kyrie will target Kornet, but at least we’ll grab some boards.

We need to win this. If we lose, there will a game 7, against an opponent with full momentum.

Keep the ball in front, rebound and play with patience on offense. Mavs weak ass role players won’t show up in Boston

Our TIME! It's been 16 years!
Good assessment:

PLO wrote:Tatum played OK - took advantage of a few mismatches - decent on the defensive end. He is what we thought he was going into the season - a technically very proficient player operating close to his career ceiling as a rookie.

Realistically, this is the best position the Celtics could have been in after 4 games. Protected homecourt and split on the road. That is some textbook stuff right there. Now end it in 5 and make us all proud!!
