Parl, I just want take time to say, since this may be the last GDT of the season, thank you for what you do. I do believe what you do is underappreciated. You do a lot without getting anything in return. I can't speak for others, like some seemingly do, But for one, I don't take you for granted.

thank you..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

I am really curios to hear/read what people think and expect about game 4. Do you prefer a loss so maybe we can get change? Do you want a win to "keep hope alive"

Do you expect our team to "go down fighting" like J Brown has said??

Do you expect the team to Quit and quit early on??

Something else??

Me personally, I am not sure what to expect.. But If My team fights, I will be fighting/rooting for them (behind a keyboard)

I still want to see some fight from them. Foolish wish at this point but whatever.

But like I said, this isn’t an effort issue. They are actually lost as a team. Ran into their polar opposites and just don’t know how to respond. That’s why it appears they’ve quit.

I'm sure there will be a couple posters on here that believe games 1-3 in this series were not must wins but now that the rest of the games are must win Boston will figure it out and go on to win four games straight.


I'm not one of those guys. Win or lose this game is completely academic and the series was over Friday night

In the offseason if they have to move some guys and potentially take a step back for the time being I'm all for that at this point.

Get Blake in there. At least he will show some heart and hustle.

The have a great record in elimination games the last 2 years. But yes I expect them to come out hard. Once Miami makes a run they will quit. They are too broken as a team. They don’t want to play defense. Nothing would shock me but I expect a loss.

It's time to shock the world.

By waiting until the third quarter before folding like a cheap tent.

Celtics in 7

Read this:
https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/celtics/celtics-wont-start-winning-until-they-kick-infuriating-habit

This should be the first thing we should do in the summer
Tomase: "Whiners aren't Winners."

Plagued us for 4-5 seasons now
I would start by letting Grant loud mouth go
Then smack anyone that talk to a ref and not hustle back on defense

Obviously let Brad and Joe go

All this after we lose to Denver in the finals in game 7
