We need six more of these this postseason (2 vs. MIA, 4 vs. DEN) to win the title. Yes, I have no doubt we'll be down 0-3 vs Nuggets if we make the Finals before making an impossible 2nd comeback lol.

Anyway, just gotta win ONE MORE.

It's now in the hands of Jayson Tatum.

If JT scores 30 or more, very good chance Cs win.

I don't know about the Cs, but I don't think Miami will shoot 50% from the field in Game 6.

The heat currently still have a death grip on the series and history is on their side.. and it's hard for me to envision a team coached by spo being the first team to lose a 3-0 lead. It's not realistic.

Game 5 is the game though. I don't think game 4 changed much of anything. Not to me anyway.

I'm not saying we are gonna win but yes, I do believe we can win now.

Cs are the 15th team to force a game 6 after being down 0-3. Three teams forced a game 7 but eventually lost.

Except for the 2010 4th seed Celtics (vs 2nd seed Magic), all of the teams that went 3-0 to start the series were the higher-seeded team.

So ours is a very unique case. But our higher seeding won’t matter though if we revert back to stagnant, turnover-prone offense and uninspiring leaky defense.

This Miami team is like a March Madness Cinderella. Those teams never win but knock off a ton of top competitors along the way. They don't win because ultimately they aren't that great and it's too hard to stay that hot for that long.

Let's see this Cinderella story end now not later!

It’s still concerning that the Miami bench is absolutely killing us offensively. The way we played we should have won by 25-30 but those guys - Robinson, Highsmith and Martin - torched us last night and at least made the score respectable.

Martin is looking like Brunson did in Dallas last year.

I refuse to let myself think we can win series. Just live to play one more. It’s just all about game 6. Play like the team they really are especially on defense and I’ll live with results. I just wish that Joe and the Jays didn’t fumble away game 2. We could be up 3-2 and in command.

I Believe. Celtics are the better team. If they both play well, Boston wins

That's because we're focusing our defense on trying to contain Butler and Bam.

I thought last night we did a decent job of making Martin and Robinson work, limiting the quality of shots they could get. Lowry and Strus did nothing.

I don't mind so much if a random guy off the end of their bench (Highsmith) gets hot for a few points or if Love gets some buckets after we're already up by 15+.

Grant has the right mindset. He's a mature for only being 24.

That’s because heat players constantly attacks us inside if they can. Simple mid ranges and tons of layups. High percentage shots, meanwhile we keep on chucking 3’s as our primary offense. If they go in, we get a good lead, if not, its hard for us to score and cut through their lead if they’re ahead.
