Nobody cares about being right or wrong fella. People are negative because they have been given reasons to be over and over for like 5 years +. It’s the positive ones that are a bit wild at this point. Until this team finishes the job, there will always be a little ‘choke’ cloud over their heads. Getting bent over with the trophy in sighht like this won’t help their cause.

3-1 lead in the finals and still time to be negative about it all.

Just absurd.

156-0 with a 3-0 lead, soon to be 157-0.


This entire convo started with ‘IF we lose game 5, boyy oh boy’..nobody even said they would lose. You’re like the Jrue Holiday of forums..always so damn defensive.

If they lose game 5, they will win it in 6.

If they lose game 6, they will it in 7.

Hope this helps.

Lively saying in the interview they’ve figured out our schemes. Bold statement. Guess we’ll find out in game 5

Not. Worried.


This. People are losing their minds for no reason.

It’s all going to be okay people.

Anything can happen. I don’t think anyone expected Celtics to get blown out by 30 points in a finals game. Like come on now. Now you have a confident Mavs team. It’s one thing if this game were close and we lost. It’s another if they blow us out completely. If Celtics lose this year, they might as well kiss the team value and fanbase goodbye

Bird would have won 4 rings with that team, in this weak ass era of basketball.

I bet on us to win in 5.

Always expected a game to be blown on the road.

Maybe not as ugly offensively as this but always felt there was a game we’d lose where the Mavs just play real hard cause they have nothing to lose.

My concern at this moment is that this is the fifth quarter in a row Boston has looked absolutely atrocious offensively.

Hardaway getting his shooting stroke and confidence going is not ideal

The real question this game raises…..is are we really better than them without Porzingas. If not, we have 3 chances to steal one. If we are, then we will probably win in 5 or 6.

Have a look at the record in history when teams are up 3-0.

They don’t lose this series.

Yep they seem like they have figured out something during that run in game 3 and now…. Boston better figure something out real quick

I can tell you this not rebounding the ball is going to get you beat, shooting deep contested threes is going to get you beat… you better find an adjustment because clearly Dallas has


Dallas has clamped them since that run in game 3

Unfortunately in the NBA the referees officiate games completely differently depending on who is the road team, what the series score is etc.

They have got to us defensively tonight because they’ve been allowed to play much more physical.

Won’t be the same in game 5.

Lol.

Again..


Thanks to Dallas playing good basketball, the refs helping out, and boston playing **** and disinterested the Mavericks have managed to not only break a 10 game playoff win streak for the celtics but also not get swept!

Big big night foe them. Good job. Gold sticker. Move on

Return to Boston Celtics
