No question, the young vet Jayson Tatum! Best game of the season for him I think and it’s game 5 of the ECF.

Special mention to Baynes, I thought he was great. He did miss some bunnies but really brought it for us everywhere else.

**** Nance for real though.


The right call by the refs, which would have taken more guts than refs normally have, would have been TWO technicals on Nance plus one each on Morris and Rozier.

At some point, we have to go from,

To, "Why Not Win It This Year???"

Its one thing to make those claims pre-draft. Its downright stupid to make this claim within the past week.


Hell we had some Celtic fans here doing that. I can comfortably say you and i were at the top of the Tatum bandwagon, besides CHL.

I can't believe this team is one game from the Finals. With the way everything has happened all year. I'm stunned.

Let's do this 5 more times guys!!!
Good assessment:

Slappy deserves more love than he is getting in this poll but I went with Tatum. What a stand up moment up from a rookie. Really it is head shaking. When has a kid this young been this good? I have monuments to Paul Pierce in my house and office and Jayson Tatum is showing a composure that took PP years to develop.

As for Horford this run is all about him and why he came to Boston.

Also, considering they won, how funny was Rozier throwing a layup over the backboard? I almost pissed myself I laughed so hard.

Defensive game. Numbers for the Cavs' guards were even worse.

Easiest vote of the playoffs so far, if it wasn't for Tatum this night might gone horribly wrong. Excellent contributions by Smart and Morris, Baynes was also solid especially on D.

I think inserting Baynes in the starting lineup is the adjustment that really unlocks this series. Having him on TT for the most part really changed the complexion of the game. Also, I like how we avoided the Rozier switches on LeBron by scrambling on D and I'm glad we didn't let Love's hot shooting to start the game change this plan. I'm confident we found something here that will help us in Game 6.

Is this real? Are the Celtics really one win away from the Finals?

I don't think anyone could've dreamed they'd be this close with all that's happened this year.

Unreal........
