Must win game for them. This is the time to step on their throats.

FINISH THIS.

VERY FEW TEAMS COME BACK FROM 3-1.

JUST PLAY LIKE WE HAVE THE LAST 2 GAMES.
D, REBOUND, MINIMAL TOV, CONSISTENT INTENSITY FOR 48!
MAYBE JT GOES FOR 40. IF THEY KEEP SWARMING HIM, #7, Al, BROG & DERRICK CAN SCORE THE POINTS.
DO WHAT YOU DO, MARCUS!
STAY ATTACHED TO BIID, GRANT.

IS ROB OK?

AND THEN WATCH THE KNICKS V HEAT HOPEFULLY GO 7 IN A BLOOD MATCH.

Heat will crush the Knicks in 5
It isn't a contest but a blood bath

Heat defense is suffocating and the Knicks don't have an answer

It will be really hard to beat them in a series

And for the Cs - TCOB, don't play with your meat, step on their throat etc
Keep being frustrated and angry

Joe challenged JT to start playing defense. Let's see how he reacts

Hopefully by playing great D & not getting into foul trouble.

If they come out and get this upcoming game, I'd be extremely impressed. We do seem to take the foot off the pedal, so this one will be huge.

Used to have it but I’m at work when we usually play & don’t really have time after work to watch it nowadays so just usually check the scores instead of paying whatever it is nowadays.

fwiw it's cheaper than ever now. Like less than half the price of what it used to be.

I could easily see this game going either way. I'm always less confident in games the celtics could lose and be fine.

For once this is a half decent hour for me - 22:30
I wake up to watch each game usually at 02:00 am
Didn't miss a game this year

And league pass is really cheap this year

Especially if you buy through for example Colombia via vpn. It’s like 30 dollarydoos for the season

Didn’t hear it from me

To be clear I know it works

Only need the vpn for initial sign up

530 is a fine starting time

[London2Boston]

Perfect timing right after my Man United game.

Just wanted to say, league pass with Microsoft being the developer was complete %@$ to start the season. Everything was broken and wonky. However they are finally stable, and they have brought back the quad game matrix which lets you watch 4 games at a time. This was disabled to start the season and I was pretty close to not renewing, but towards the end of the season it returned. With that feature atleast international league pass is a deal.

It’s interesting how Harden’s reputation as a playoff performer has been twisted. During his span in Houston he averaged roughly 28/7/6 in the playoffs which are incredible and all-time great numbers. He did have shockingly bad games in some of the biggest moments when a trip to the finals was at stake. That said, in the early games of a series like the last 2 games he was always a monster. Either the Celtics defense has stifled him or age/injury has taken its toll.

Since leaving Houston and suffering hamstring injuries his production has fallen to 19-20 ppg so he is clearly not the same guy. His last game is an outlier though. I’m expecting him to return to form - just not Houston form like in game 1.

In the Finals everything went to **** when we couldn’t capitalize on the very real opportunity of going up 3-1. All season long we’ve heard the team talk about now last June ate them up and we’ve got unfinished business. Take a big step towards that today and go up 3-1!

[Bostondave]

I want this game badly.

[Bad-Thoma]

It's time

[UNCBlue012]

YUGE game today, fellas and felletes. A win and I’m confident that’s the series. Lose and we’ve got us a dawg fight.

Harden is a fraud. He always has been. Makes me cringe when some in this forum actually wanted to trade for this guy. Harden could care less if his team goes to the Finals or not. It’s all the same to him. Just pay him
