Hopefully the Heat have finally run out of that irrational-confidence serum they use to turn their scrubs into MJ after giving the last dose to Highsmith last night.

Couldn't believe it either.
I mean Highsmith never got any significant minutes before Game 5 and he came in and shot like he was Klay Thompson.
But I agree, I also think Miami's luck is running out.
I'm expecting an ugly game because Miami will not shoot 50% in Game 6.

Guys better punch them in the mouth at the get go. Also we shouldn’t bail them out by chucking 3’s. Attack inside and make them run. Butler’s been missing shots because he’s dead tired. Make him run and work on D.

Guy I'm worried about is Horford. Played a good game rebounding the ball and hitting open teammates with his usual defense but this every other day schedule with travel must not be good for his body/legs. We need him to play well cos Rob himself can't be effective for over 30 minutes. Not sure how much you can trust the bench bigs either in a do-or-die game.

Headed home either way, may as well play a game when we get back.

I hope at least one of Brown or Brogdon is himself. Otherwise I fear a locked-in Miami defense.
Based on recent trendlines, there's more hope for Brown.

Start Rob
Run that damn ball, younglegs on this team and some tremendous athletes.
Butler has to do everything and Miamis scrubs are loosing their horseshoes.
Run, defend. these are the keys and will unlock the 3pt barage the team is capable of. Withstand the intentional fouls, withstand the slaps, withstand the moving screens, it is all they have. Dont get caught up and rise above that ****.
Win this game and it is a borderline knockout punch

Hasn't Brown already had "bloody finger webbing" games?

Hope Miami makes sure that Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter have the best seats possible again.
Would be beyond iconic if the C's pull this off after the Heat let those two sit courtside in a 3-0 series....

This is the tough one. This is the one where when you go down 3-0, you feel is almost impossible to win.
No need to say what needs to be done here..we know what to do and who has to do it.
This one here is for history because if this thing goes 7 we are going to stuff their asses in.

We need a wildcard for this game. Heat has been getting consistent production from bums. We really need a fluky shooting by someone like Horford or Brogdon on one arm

I think if we play the same lvl of defense again, Heat cannot beat us unless somebody on Miami goes into a crazy heat check.

Hopefully the out-of-rotation guys -- Hauser/Pritchard et al. -- will be ready. Those two combined for 1-5 from 3 in garbage time last game. But that was in 3 minutes, so perhaps they were forcing some not-so-great looks.

The team with the all time most playoff elimination wins in a 2 year span is the Olajuwon Rockets with 8 in 94-5. This Celtics team is second with 7. 2 more and they are the best all time over 2 year span.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Probably not a very popular opinion but I really do believe that this team is a better team, against the Heat, without Brogdon. Especially on the defensive side of the floor. He couldn't stay in front of Vincent or Butler to save his life. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Malcolm fan but for what he brings on offense, pre tendon tear, it isn't enough to overcome his defensive liabilities. I vote for a DNP tomorrow night, stop with the trying to get 'something' from him, and hope that more rest and treatment will help in case the miracle happens.
