Not a good finish that last half of the third but whatever 1/4 away..

Play like this game is tied up.. Do not slow up keep attacking..

And by all means trap Luca when he gets 5 feet into the rim.


18 is ours..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

If the Celtics can have like an 8 point burst to start the fourth, Dallas will quit.

Digggg deeep. The boys are tired but this is the moment. Stay tough. Move that ball and keep that intensity for 12 more minutes.

Tatum needs to demand the ball the rest of the way he took a backseat to JB there with JB barking for the ball

Tatum and jrue… create and make the play

And rightfully so.

I still think Brown deserves the MVP.


No. He's been pretty bad for some time now. Tatum wrapled it up.

Celtics could have pushed this to 30 points but they like to make things harder for themselves by playing dumb.

We kind of took our foot off the gas after we got the lead up to 26.

That was some pretty selfish play of basketball from Jaylen Brown down the stretch there. Come on man!
