I HAVE BEEN SUCKED BACK INTO THE GREEN VORTEX.
I WANT WANT WANT **** WANT #19 COME HELL OR HIGH WATER.
SAME AS G3 - AND MAYBE OUR FIRST TEAM ALL NBA GIVES US A 40 SPOT TO BOOT.
48 MINUTES OF BALLS TO THE WALL INTENSITY.
SUFFOCATING D.
GREAT BALL MOVEMENT.
PUSH THE PACE.
NO MOTHER **** TOVs.
TAKE 3s IN THE FLOW OF THE GAME.
NO DUMBNESS.
PLAY SMART.
MAKE THEM CRY.
MAKE THEM FORFEIT AFTER 2 QUARTERS.
TAKE A **** ON SPIKE LEE’S HEAD.

DO IT, MOTHER ****.

We’re going to have to beat them in a close game in MSG to win this series. I think this one is that close game

Please, win! Hoping for a good Tatum game, he destroyed the Knicks in the regular season, it's about time he has efficient 30(or 30+).
Good assessment:

Teams come back from a 3-1 deficit every now and then (ask Doc), but still, it’s a pretty deep hole to get out of. We need to win this one as well. Close games are dangerous, because we don’t have a closer unlike them. Another blowout would be nice.

Winning game 3 in that manner was great and shows what we can do when really locked in. But none of it matters if we just give them back game 4.
There is no prize for coming so close Do something!

Horf was awesome yesterday, but he played 35 minutes
so I'm worried on short rest that Al's not gonna have it

so I am hoping we can find some minutes for Neemi or extra Luke mins or KP can find a great game
because it just seems like Al is an everyother game playoff player at his age 39

so this is my biggest worry that Joe is gonna play Al another 35 mins and Al is gonna struggle

Tillman?
Porzingas can’t stay on the court I was curious of anyone’s thoughts why the Player hadn’t sniffed the floor?

Cavs are laying an egg right now. The celtics have followed suit everytime. The thing is we are much better than the knicks yet we are down in this series.

Tillman seemed to still be recovering from his offseason surgery.
Queta though, can do something. They should put him in, in spurts. Especially with Porzingis being ill.

We're Not the Cavs. Celtics are moving in a positive direction.
I seriously doubt that we go down 3-1.

The only ref crews left that haven't worked our series was the Brothers crew, Gobel crew and Foster crew. Both the Brothers and Gobel crews worked the two Sunday games today.

Going by the ref rotations, it looks like it's gonna be a Scott Foster game tomorrow. Feel like that favors the C's with the Knicks being so foul happy.

Can't play Horford but so much. We need Queta to start getting some playing time.
Better that, than to go with just Kornet and Horford. Need to give those guys some kind of rest.

Maybe Zinger feels better.
