Alternatively, they could put another Boston team in the very short list of the 0-3 asterisk.I'm mad they went down 3-0 because they are capable of playing such dominant basketball and they've put themselves into this position where just one hot or cold shooting night sends them home.
If that happens and we keep up the same D intensity I think that would be a good outcome. Bam is a different player when you can crowd him without a whistle, and role players for them were pretty helpless against the timely help D.Saturday is going to be an absolute war, I agree. Everyone needs their big boy pants…and possible we get game seven-esque let them play whistle so Celts need to be prepared physically for that.
Just enjoy. That is how these games go. Teams that win the first quarter by 15 rarely go on to win the game by 60. Being able to constantly stop any run and maintain a 20 point spread for the whole game until garbage time is what mattered.They played us straight up for 3 quarters without Vincent. The W is all that counts but they need the game of their careers Saturday.
They are unlikely to come back from 20, sure. I think protecting from a potential injury is more likely the reason for the rest than playing NBA players a few extra minutes with an off day coming up tomorrow. I don’t think 5 minutes of extra rest with 48 hours off will make a huge difference.yep, but I would guess the data says they're more likely to win game 6 well rested than they were to stage a 20 point comeback in the last 6 minutes of this one

I don't think that he was guaranteeing a win, he was merely saying that has to be their mindset."We can and we will win this series."
When you are 7’4”, everyone looks like a guardShaq again repeating that Tatum and Grant are guards
Shaq could at least do Costner grade. The others? Jesus.Jesus Christ the Chuck boston accent
True. Jon Hamm in ‘The Town’ sounds like he’s right out of Southie by comparison.Shaq could at least do Costner grade. The others? Jesus.
Vincent being hurt in addition to Herro has brought them back down to earth.. they're not deep enough to not have those two.. if Lowry and Robinson have to play more minutes.. or Love.. they're not going to win. Vincent and Martin have been absolutely on fire for them in the playoffs.. both of them have almost been their two best players at times. The energy and spacing they create ...and the fact that they're shooting 20-30% higher than their career averages.. has been immense. And both of them can play good D.In the past couple of days, Miami has dropped back down to earth.
The thing is we won a couple of mini blowouts and we need to win a nailbiter. Saturday is the mother of all battles.
Ask her how the walk was for me pleaseMy wife decided on Tuesday to go to London for the weekend. Left today, so I have to leave and pick up my daughter from practice at 9:00. Fuckkkkk, I'm so afraid to get out off this couch.
Think it would be cool to have a 12 year old girl walk home in the dark, wearing a swimsuit? It's only a couple miles, and it's not a dangerous town.
I don’t care if your wife is back or your daughter doesn’t have practice on Saturday. We’re gonna need you to leave the house again at the same time.My wife decided on Tuesday to go to London for the weekend.

Nahhh, it's gotta be Kevin Brown.Is Javier Vazquez or Gary Sheffield going to join Jetes and ARod for game 6?
Or Joe West sitting near the replay desk.Nahhh, it's gotta be Kevin Brown.
Eh. Playing us "straight up" for 3 quarters after going down 15 isn't a big deal.They played us straight up for 3 quarters without Vincent. The W is all that counts but they need the game of their careers Saturday.
