JT & the boys granted my wish yesterday - 1 JT masterclass & a very very satisfying W before this awful season comes to an end.
But now my latent delusional Celtic fanaticism has been kicked into overdrive.
And I want MORE, mother ****!
Beat these Dick Wads into the **** ground in front of 20K screaming lunatics - intermittently telling Kyrie to **** Himself!

And message to Coach Anorgasmic Milquetoast - if Kemba is not scoring, sit the smiling midget down!

I'm currently sick to my stomach and need to be talked off the ledge. I just realized we are stuck with this piece of **** for 2 more seasons, unless he opts out. I mean, Gordon got a better deal, so I guess it's possible, but damn.

The thing is, Kemba may be capable of getting baskets in bunches. but it happens all too infrequently. But even when he has his moments It usually isn't enough to overcome his lack of defense. But when he is not even on, and he still gets his usual playing time (all the 4th quarter) it goes beyond disgusting. One reason why many give rise to the notion that Stevens is far too soft. And I am not referring to only myself on this.

Wish I could be one of the 17,000 tomorrow. But I will be there in spirit for sure.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

If we get 1 more, we'd do better than I initially expected and we'd show a lots of heart and fight, which is great considering the awful season we've had.
Good assessment:

I didn't plan for our team to win a game in this series so we might as well win another one and go all the way to the Finals lol.

If Kemba bounces back and plays well in Game 4, I think the Celts will have a shot at tying the series 2-2.

Kemba Walker is averaging 13 ppg, 32% FG Pct and 18% 3PT Pct for the series.

Celtics are going to need a little more from their $34,379,100 player in order to win Game 4.

Just a little bit………………………..

Winning Game 4 will make things very interesting. Hopefully the Celtics can pull it off.

Honestly winning tomorrow and just seeing the pressure be on the nets and their fans squirming would be so worth it. Even tho we have no chance- it would be a great small victory to a pathetic season.

Just gimme a game 5 tied 2-2 would be awesome

You never know.

You never can tell when Kyrie is going to say F*** it and start throwing games. It’s all part of the Kyrie package

JVG called the Nets a "prohibitive favorite" to win it all and it would be so satisfying to knock Goliath off and make JVG eat those words. On a more rational note, these games are great experience for the young guys, most of whom played well in game 2 garbage time and also yesterday. So the more wins, the better.

The win last night was extra super awesome after that crappy day we had as Celtics fans, with the racism controversy and IT re-litigating his hip injury and getting smashed in the first two games and the pall that was hanging over everything.

Thank you Jayson and Celtics! It was so nice that a basketball game could cure our ills, when for much off the season it was the opposite.

Would be even more extra super awesome if they win this one too, please! Go C's!
