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

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.

Even if Porzingis feels better, we should be giving Queta spot minutes.
At the very least, for Injury insurance. Which is a real possibility.

We’re getting the Knicks best shot tomorrow, just look at the Pacers today. We have to be ready to match it. If we beat them tomorrow, I’m pretty confident we take the series

Gotta win this one. The path is open for us to repeat if the c's just play their game.

I dare you guys to do that again. In fact, I double dare you!

That was very impressive. Particularly your defense.

Celtics are so much better and more talented than knicks. It’s just a matter of playing mediocre.

Well they’re capable of throwing a huge stinker. Hope they’re ready.

Celtics need this one imo.

It's that important.

Anybody who has any other opinion :crazy:

Plenty of people still picked the Celtics adamantly after going down 0-2.

I understand the logic and I'm not changing my pick but it's not very bright to not acknowledge the facts. And the facts say that teams in the Celtics position only win 7% of time.

If they can even it out at 2 and 2 then maybe they can be one of the teams that beat the odds.

I'm praying for another blowout win for us. Seriously, with CLE going down the way they have, I just can't stomach leaving another easy series on the table when the title is there for the taking. 2023 was bad, this would genuinely hurt given we are the defending champs this year.

CLE is cooked, and OKC has shown serious and exploitable flaws, every team can win it all at this point, and I love our chances against the field IF we can get past this NY team.

I can deal with 2-2 and a best of 3 series given we have won 10 out of 12 of the quarters so far, and are clearly the better team by a country mile. We can't give this team room to breath tonight, they are going to be playing energetic and tough basketball, they know they have nothing to lose.

We're also seeing how injuries are starting to become a thing, especially because of that aformentioned physicality, so I want to get through this series. Steph out, half the Cavs are hurt, MPJ is hurt, and half are roster is gimpy too. I just want this series to be over as soon as possible so our guys can rest, and I want easy wins so we don't have to bang all night.

I love what our team has done on defense, so we just need to continue making our shots. With KAT at center and Jalen at the pg spot we are always going to be able to generate a solid look, so please please please just capitalize on them tonight. If both ECF favorites go down 3-1 in their series that would be crazy, and the healthier teams again will pull through this year.

Good news everyone, once again I have just returned from the future. Was fortunate enough to get a chance to check the score before I left. This is a nice, easy one for Boston, it's close early but we pull away in the third and get out to another comfortable lead. This time we hold on, easily. Final score is 115-98

Not worth the risk giving their fans a win at MSG. I want their excessive ticket fees to go to absolute waste.
[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]

True
I am advocating it all year long
Get the ball out of JT's hands to White, Jrue, PP and even Brown

And when you set your offense in the half court do it with purpose, force and pace
