PLAYOFFS: Rnd 2, Gm 4 – Celtics (2) @ Sixers (1) – 3:30PM, Sun, May 7, 2023

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.

Yes. And this team is really and truly like a box of chocolates. But I really really want this game.

[Celts17Pride]

Won’t see the game live today. Celtics would make things a lot easier by grabbing a win in Game 4. Philly is going to be playing like a desperate team today and the Celtics are going to have to match their intensity. Feel good about this game. I think the Celtics get it done today. Defense, Defense, Defense!!!!!

Let’s Go Celtics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fallguy]

If the C's come out and play with the requisite amount of intensity and force for the third game in a row, I still probably won't trust them. But I'll be open to trusting them in the future.

No Tony brothers thank god

First game where I have proper playoff nerves this post season. Going up 3-1 would be huge. They’re good enough to do it and I believe they’ll play hard but there’s 2 teams out there and 1 game can always be a variance thing.


Just don’t let us have one of those 7/40 shooting nights.

Celtics come out flat in the 1st quarter, Sixers come out oon fire (with refs help of course), we’re down by 20 then it’s game over….move to next game….my prediction.

Historically, home team like 76ers who are so close in seeding to Celtics, down 2-1 wins majority of time. They should be favored. It’s time for this Celtics team to flip the script and show how serious they are and take this game.

We will never get blown out in the playoffs. We are that good. But yes refs may decide game today

[keevsnick1]

Teams with homecourt tied 2-2 in a series win the series about 75% (119-38) of the time.

Teams with homecourt up 3-1 in a series win almost 98% (127-3) of the time.

Those numbers are for all best of 7 series since 1984, so they are probably a little bit skewed in favor of the home team since first round series against teams with a greater talent disparity are included. But still, a win tonight all but ends this series.

Haven’t watched enough NBA games? Also when was the last time the Celtics come back from a 20 pt deficit and win?

Why have they go down 20? Loosing is always a possibility but Celtics are the favorite tonight

Treat every game like an elimination game. Let’s go.

Believe me, I want the Celtics to blow out the Sixers tonight, but I have no trust to the NBA. I just can’t.

Celtics/Lakers or Celtics/Warriors rematch is more valuable than an extra game or two against Philly. We’ll see.

[JR Hawks]

This isn't a must-win game, which is generally the recipe for this squad losing. Hope to be wrong.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Killers would go into this game and play their best game of the season, grabbing the series by the balls. Losers would go in there satisfied with getting home court back and get smoked.

Which one are we?

Let’s get this W.

[SuperDeluxe]

Good luck to James Harden in his last home game as a Sixers.
