10.

We have the better talent. We just need to prove it. They have better fits in term of talent.

My confidence level is at a 10 that the Celtics will play very hard and make less mistakes than last game. Unfortunately, it doesn't mean they will win since Miami is a very good team and on somewhat of a hot streak.

Boston wins big. We played horrible last game and barely lost. Miami fans all in my **** cause Crowder a beast.

We aint **** losing to a team thats Crowder and Olynick deep. Not happening.

Never break the chain, we got them tonight, fam.

I remember this got me inexplicably pumped when Truth18 posted this during the IT era, and I'm dusting it off tonight:

Watch on YouTube

Celtic pride shall never die, only multiply.

We got this.

(and, Truth, brotherbear, wherever you at homie, hope you're well. Same for all the peeps over the crazy number of years I've spent on this forum, mostly reading the past few, but I'm still reading you all).

7.5. Would be higher but I'm still thinking about how we responded in a very important game 4 against the raptors after losing in heartbreaking fashion in game 3. We did eventually respond in game 5 but still.... Wouldn't surprise me if we lost today and then won the next 2 or 3. Hopefully not though. I think this game is very close to a must win. Not quite, but close. If we want a realistic shot to win this series.

Swap these shot charts and win.

This series all comes down to Kemba for me, we need him to be at least pretty good. We don’t need him to be amazing, but he needs to knock down his threes, and not get lost defensively.

I’m hoping we see Smart initiate the offense more, and use Kemba off ball.

I'm at about a 9. There's a 10% chance (1 in 10) that we lose this game.
We're still going to win the Series, though.

If kemba no shows again tonight then we have our answer on if he plans to at all or not.

He's been consistently bad since start of toronto series except I think game 3.

He needs to push push push. Get on whatever lowry was on because his slow pace is half the battle.

As I posted before Game 1, this series is really up for grabs.

But for us to win, as Constable and Jaylen Brown said, defense from Game 1 has to be full-on for 48 minutes. The gap is too small for us to take that luxury. On top of that, at least 1 of the following 3 things has to happen.

- Kemba returns to 80% of his self.
- Hayward returns and makes an impact.
- Brad steps up and doesn't get out-coached by Spoelstra.

Yeah im happy y'all so confident but i dunno guys; my brain agrees with you all but the rest of me is quite scared. Might be just general life anxiety getting to me. Baby is due in 3 weeks and i've noticed myself just freaking out more about other ****. It's all bleeding into each other.

The Celtics are the better team, in this Series. So, you should probably root for the Heat.
But, you gotta get by the Lakers first.

Y'all have a knack for screeching it out.
We'll see what happens.

Crunch offense looked ugly in Game 1, but sometimes ISO ball will look ugly, the price you pay for ISO stand-out players like JT and KW.

I think for tonight JB is the one with more tangible room for improvement. I bet he wins us Game 2.
