Hooray you guys it wasn't always pretty but we won the big game and we're going to the ECFs!

JAYSON TATUM was terrific and we got HUGE bounce back games from AL HORFORD and DERRICK WHITE! Great job guys!

I'm spent! Marcus Morris was driving me insane lmao. Celts played a great 4th quarter and we won and we're done with the Cavs!!

Celts get a few days off while we wait for our next opponent, Go C's!

This is now the 6th ECF appearance of the Celtics in the Brad Stevens era.

7 years to the day since the first one.

NOT DONE YET. Let's go, Celtics!!

Get Horford the best-tasting cigar you can find, Brad.

I don't think there's anyone in the history of sport that I'd like to see win a championship more than Al Horford.

This team peaked at the wrong time of the season (as it sometimes happens). Still, I'm hopeful they'll remember what brought them here. KP should help bring the ball movement back.

I tip my hat to Big Al.

I read a post earlier if it's time to sit Al Horford.

No way because 2 bad shooting games for Al means he bounces back in the 3rd game.

Fans of all the other teams are DESPERATE to downplay our two consecutive 5-game series victories to secure our 3rd straight ECF appearance and 4th in the last 5 years. In the last 8 years, we've been there 6 times. This is just the average season for us.

Stay mad, fools.

Much love to Al Horford and his family.

This was a Yes Country For Old Men with both Horford and Morris playing well...

Horford knocked down open threes and ended Garland's career. Tatum with a soft, non-Dawg 25-10-9 on great efficiency with 4 steals.
We had 32 assists on 42 buckets. Pretty impressive for a team that only does ISO your turn my turn.

Al Horford.

Called it.

Went to JT for the CP. Another 25/10/5 game from him. His 25/10/9/4 in a playoff game has only been done by Larry Bird in Celtics history (well, going back to 1983).

Happy for horford. He finally had his game. I'm happy we are in the ECF. I'm not happy that I have yet to see us play like a team that I think has any chance of winning it all. That said, KP is still out. So I'm hanging my hope on that.

JT really being sneaky.

I was wondering why he kept making passes all game long.

The guy was aiming for a triple-double.

Sicko! :lol:

The Celtics struggled to beat the Cavs without Mitchell and LeVert. Looks up at the score and we win by nearly 20.

Cakewalk.

OG and Tatum get my votes. Tatum was brilliant IMO. JB played 41 minutes and took 9 shots. That’s that growth.

Who wants Boston next?
