Thank you for the feedback. I think I'll maybe just skip the tweets. I find too many and then when the game ends I'm kinda rushing to finish and post the thread and it's hard to make quick decisions on weeding the tweets way down. I think I've been going overboard more and more each game lol.

Y'all know how Tat feels about g3, let's hope he is HIMOTHY!! Love the way he's been playing. Had he played like this, even with the shooting issues, we may have taken GSW. Really love how he is not listening to the media. ANYTHING TO WIN!!!

I think the "he's being carried by his teammates" claim is way off-base. He generates so many looks for everyone else and he's no slack on D. Just needs to make his own shots.

White outscored Luka and Kyrie in the 4th combined.

Dallas can't win like that.

This was Dallas's game to steal and they just couldn't do it. As great as Luka was in the first half he was pretty much missing in action in the second half. Irving's been a little underwhelming as well this series so far

Hopefully KP is okay and hopefully Boston starts shooting better from 3 the next game

For some reason I'm not allowed to read the general board. I've barely posted anything there. Clearly some babies running the show over there.

I haven't had any issues in the last week or two. Something was wrong with the site but it's been running smoothly for a bit now. I love the posts you do, the clips/tweets make me happy!! For those with no issues, just put all of it in a Q by Q spoiler. Thanks bis!!

So much to say about this game.

Dallas couldn't even beat Game 2 Celtics.
Kyrie Irving with another master-class game of 16 points 7-18, and is now 0-12 against the Celtics since he stomped on Lucky.
Celtics won with defense.

Jrue Holiday smokes the cigar, because he's Marcus Smarter and had to show the guys what playing with a champion is like. Is this the Playoff Jrue that Bucks fans warned us about?!

Our defense is probably enough to get us the final two wins we need. Even if we shoot poorly and Tatum can't buy one.

I wouldn't go that far lol. But since he's their coach and he has to back his guy, I will allow it.

2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

This must be disinformation. I was informed that they are both completely unstoppable closers in tight games.

Wow
Game was never ever comfortable because we shot 10-40 from 3 - many wide open.
If we even shoot 15-40, game is a blowout.
We won because 1) of damn good D most of the game; 2) of Jrue; 3) of Derrick; 4) we made our FTs & they did not; 5) they had 6 more TOVs; & 6) JT’s 12 assists & 9 rebounds.

JB was solid on both ends, but 6 TOV is **** awful.
JT shot ABYSMALLY yet again - but 18-9-12A, & his gravity opened the floor for everyone else.
Al 7R & good D.
Kris had his moments in the first half - & now we have to finish the series without him. :0(.
Derrick was FANTASTIC ON D (OMG, THAT GAME SAVING BLOCK) & CLUTCH AS HELL ON 0.
18-5-2-3 steals-2 blocks-4 threes (one super clutch back to back w Jrue down the stretch).
JRUE WAS BEYOND FANTASTIC ON BOTH ENDS ALL **** GAME.
26-11R-3-1-1-2 threes (1 super clutch back to back w Derrick down the stretch).

Tough W.

Can we get both or 1/2 in Dallas next week w/o Zinger?
Sure as hell we can if JT learns to shoot again. O/W it will be a dog fight.
Mavs will be playing for their lives, & Doncic is the best player on both teams. The mofo did a 32 trip dub with multiple injuries. And scumbag Kyrie will play better.

CELTICS!
2 more W = #18!
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Return to Boston Celtics
