Another reminder for them that a team backed in a corner will come out fighting. C’s didn’t roll over when down.

They need to bring the effort for 48 tomorrow. They know this.

Deep down you want it!


Rooting for the Celtics is a capital offense. Turn in your Laker pass to a moderator and await sentencing.

Kobe rooted for them in 2010
WHACK! Get Out!

Turn in your Laker pass to a moderator and await sentencing.

Who else wants one. I can go all day!

I'm not tiring for the Celtics. I'm rooting for the Lakers to smash the Celtics


Anything that involves the Celtics and winning a series, game, quarter, second is not welcome here.

Yep. Lebron knows this and I fully expect 2018 playoffs Lebron to come out like a bat out of hell.

If he is still in there, I’ll be thrilled with o see him.

But this is about total team effort every play and hitting there shots.

Hell no - Any Lakers fan would want to make sure the Celtics have a 0% chance of winning a title.


Playing the Lakers would be a 0% chance for them.


Nothing is 100%. One of our stars could get a freak injury, and be out for the entire series.

The Heat wins have been close. Celtics wins have been blowouts.

It feels like this might go 7 tbh.

Hopefully Heat win. Don’t want to see Celtics in finals.

Jalen Brown struggles against controlled closeouts. If defenders break down in front of him on closeouts even if he has some space, he really likes to dribble himself into trouble or pass.

Yeah, it's a win win now imo. As long as the Lakers close there series out we get a bit longer rest now. I feel we matchup better to the heat for sure but if they go the full 7 it's just more rest which I think both AD and Lebron can use.

Heat the better matchup IMO.

I also don’t want them getting a *chance* to make it 18 at expense of Lakers. You never know with injuries, etc.

I think we're the heavy favorites in both but I think the Heat are tougher than the Celtics for a few reasons:

1. Heat is a much better defensive team overall and play better team defense.

2. Heat's best defenders are bigger. Heat have Adebayo, Butler, Crowder all who can do a better job of defending LeBron and AD than the Celtics' front court. The Celtics best defenders are Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown. Who are they gna guard? KCP and Danny Green? Yeah that's not gonna help.

3. If there's one coach smarter than Vogel in the playoffs, it may be Spoelstra. Plus Spo may know a few of LeBron's weaknesses.

It...Don't...Matter...who we play.

Miami can get it. Denver can get it. Foston can get it.

It...Don't....Matter.

Has anyone here watched the Celtics much this post season? Is Tatum their clear cut late-game closer or Kemba?
