Not sure if this was mentioned in the GT, but I can't remember any dumb decisions by Brown tonight. He also played a rare selfless game. Four assists, 1 turnover.

9 down, 7 more to go.

He made less dumb decisions, there were a couple but I'll take it. He found a way to provide value and got a little confidence back.

Their goal is just simple at this point. Go back to Miami.

Good win but too little too late. Joe decided to act like a real coach for the first time all season and the kids likely just saved his job. Still uninspiring but I'll take it just to have some more basketball to watch.

Heat took a solid jab tonight. You could see a little fear in their eyes. They don’t look like a team up 3-1. Thur night we hit ‘em with another jab and we’re back in Miami! Game 6 will determine who goes to the NBA finals, because we ain’t losing a game 7 at home after crawling all the way back! LFG, bring the Heat Thur night

Yep Tatum and some defense. Rinse and repeat on Thursday. JB needs to figure that shot out. Sheesh.

Good fight shown. Pleased with that.




It’s a shame the team sucks at home so much, because there’s potential for things to get very interesting if our guys were a solid home team.

I think Miami is still in control but this celtics team can win a game 5 but they have to show up straight from the beginning. You best believe miami will start getting tight in a game 6 if the Celtics survive the onslaught.

Finally we got 1. Tatum gets the VC. Smart for the consolation. Those two played great. Just imagine if smart can hit shots. If he continues to hit shots, i’ll take everything i said about him. White was fine. Rob was ok, but awful on defending the block, and a lot if butter fingers. Al was meh. He hit those 3’s but was really a non factor. Grant will should definitely get mins. More than Al if he plays like this. Brogdon was horrible. Brown was borderline horrible. Brown missing midranges, jacking off 3’s. Looked slow out there.

Tatum was awesome. (Outside of those turnovers)

Brown made more of an impact on the game with his penetration then finding the open man than if he scored 25 points. Brown had 4 assists, 1 turnover and a ton of hockey assists. Hopefully he takes something from the way he played tonight into the future

Voted Tatum and White. I thought White was a sniper today and ofc Suoerstar Tatum showed up.

If we win game 5, Miami is in trouble.

Tatum and a big PUFF to Grant! Grant blocking Jimmy is a top 3 moment of my life.

Voted Tatum & Grant. Tatum carried us, Grant came up big towards the end of the game.

Al came with good energy tonight, and that's key since no one on our sideline wants to let him down. Jaylen was making an effort all night to avoid turning the ball over, which was cool, he played pretty well in the 4th quarter.

Whole team played pretty well in the second half, although for a bit we were letting Jimmy do whatever he wanted on offense.

I also want to shout out DWhite, he was forgotten about by the end of the game, but I thought he was our best player in the first quarter if not the first half.

Tatum and Grant were awesome tonight. Smart hit some big shots but overall I felt he, along with Brown, were the worst players on the Celtics. Brogdon was probably worse by the end of the game.

You don’t need to win 4 games just need to win the next one. We got Petey on Thursday

Return to Boston Celtics
