Also praying for Joe to realize that "offball Tatum" doesn't have to be him just standing on a corner not doing anything.

The Cs can still win easily with JT just standing in the corner.

It's the defense that was the problem in the last game.

If the Cs don't play good defense then it's not going to end well.

Strus was the Miami version in Game 2 that owned the Celtics.

That said...Celtics win this by double digits tonight.

All 5 Celtic wins in the playoffs this year had the Celtics holding their opponent under a 100 points.

The 2 losses had the Celtics allowing their opponent to score over a 100.

Defense is the key.

Let me make a bold prediction. Celtics will win this one, or lose this one.

Yesterday we saw Ant laying an egg.

Let's see if the Spider will also lay an egg in this game.

Cassidy Hubbard said the Cs better on the road, in the playoffs.

That's going to be tested in this one.

Counting on Donovan Mitchell to lay an egg is not a very good strategy

JT's pissed, so it's going to be a capitalist offense in this game.

Just defend with a purpose, that’s all the Celtics need to do

I don't mean him not scoring a lot.

What I mean is Spider losing big to the Cs.

Celtics are Guaranteed to lose the game.

I just put 500 bucks on the cavs winning this one. Easiest decision of my life.

our home crowd sucks. that's why we play better on the road. we have the most overrated home court in the NBA. they only get up for the final two rounds of the playoffs. they should be loud no matter what
