Al Horford has been incredible tonight
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Great start to the quarter. That White corner 3 is such a tough shot.

2 TO left for Magic could definitely screw them.

I'm hard on Jaylen, but I value his greatness.

This era of Celtics championship basketball is about the Jays.

That's why you don't break them up because that's their identity.

Also, trading JB for Giannis does not make sense because Giannis does not give you what JB gives the Cs on defense and the shooting on offense.

Not saying that JB is better than Giannis, but Giannis is not a shooter and Giannis can't guard the likes of Brunson and Luka.

We're going to have to get used to this kind of basketball.

The playoffs is just different.

Cs will have to win in the clutch a lot more this season.

Cmonnn why didn’t KP just grab the missed shot and score easily instead of trying everything in one motion. Each time Orlando has called a timeout, we came out flat and they get aggressive.

I also doubt that they'd make the Finals if Tatum couldn't play.

Moz out of timeouts. JB came to play.

Outside of the two TOs earlier and some overdribbling, he’s been fantastic.
