Celtic players to watch out for in Game 4:

Jayson Tatum - Final push for the Finals MVP

Al Horford - Badly wants out of that list of active players in the playoffs without a ring

Payton Pritchard - He's having a bad finals so far (it's just a matter of time when he starts making 3s again)

I REALLY hope they can finish this tonight. It's extremely unlikely the Celtics lose this series, but any hope is still hope. Crush their dreams and bring home No. 18!

I think it's a close game early but one team's going to end up winning in a blowout, me thinks.

Do it for Jason Terry, even though he was sitting with the Mavs alums in G3. We would've never gotten Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum if not for him.

This is the day we've all been waiting for my brothers and sisters... 16 years, blood, sweat and tears. I hope today is our day to celebrate(I'm using "celebrate for the 2nd time" in the same thread).
Good assessment:

I think Celtics fans should also thank BJ Armstrong and Josh Jackson for this probable title. Had they not played games with Danny and Brad because they wanted to be in a warm climate with playing time, the Celtics might not have Tatum.

Yeah, Josh Jackson snubbed Ainge in 2017, before the draft.

Weather their initial haymaker and final burst of pride, get a decent enough lead and they will fold.. I am sure of it. There is no way Kyrie wants to go back to Boston just to be tormented and have fans celebrating in front of him.

Same with Doncic, these guys are very happy with what they have accomplished.

when they talk about coming back they don't even believe what they're saying. you can tell in kyrie & luka's demeanor. they're saying it because they're expected to say it. they're ready to fold tonight as soon as they start missing a few shots.

we've already gotten the luka meltdown, which i expected to see from kyrie. at this point i'm sure kyrie just doesnt even care. he had his good game and scored 35 so in his warped mind he showed up in this series.

i also think the way underrated motive for boston in this series is the jays wanting to sweep kyrie. they'd never say it publicly but he absolutely quit on them when they were young and abandoned them by going to brooklyn. these guys want to beat kyrie just as much as they want to win this title.
