Boston came back down 3-2 against the Bucks to go to the Finals the other year. It's not really a position you want to be in though. Game 6 should be heated

Don’t put Philly in the ECF just yet. It’s only 3-2.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

The Celtics aren’t a good crunch time team. Look great when they’re up 30 but struggle to execute late in close games.

I can see Philly closing this in 6 or 7. Celtics just look so bad.

Really? After this display? I think Miami would maul this team. My C’s are mentally weak and Jimmy is a beast. That’s without mentioning Spo.

You say this all the time and countless times I showed you he stepped up in the biggest games of the year.

Bucks game 6 last season in the face of elimination
Same with Heat in game 7,
Big game to close Hawks out this year
Also big games to close out Sixers/Raptors in the bubble…

He’s not the problem

Their coach can't call a damn play if it is tight. They need to spam 3s and hope to have a big lead in the 4th.

Bold prediction.
You dont think Boston can push them to a pivotal game 8?

Celtics need CP3 in the worst way

Need better decision maker in there, if only in a player-coach role

From Celtics in 4 to Heat in 4.
