I emotionally prepared myself for a potential loss before the series even started, given the assumption that we wouldn't have Middleton back for any of it. But if you were to tell me that we'd split the series 2-2 going back to Boston for Game 5, then I'd be pretty damn content given the circumstances. All the talk about adjustments as usual, but I largely think this game plays out the same as the others. Both teams are fine with letting the other jack up open-3's so long as they defend the paint. Boston has done a slightly better job of closing out on the corners, but the shots are gonna be there. Guys just need to hit them.
This boards emotions are more up and down that my mother when she's off her meds.
