NBA Finals, Game 5, June 17: Banner Day>Flag Day

[RedOctober3829]

“You have to be willing to give everything on every single play”

“What are you willing to sacrifice to be great?”

“In 4 quarters we’re going to see what you’re made of. Is your heart pumping kool-aid or is there ice in your veins?”

“We’re going to leave this arena bloody, tired, and exhausted but when we walk out….we walk off as champions.”

WARRIOR MENTALITY!!!!! LFG!!!!

 

[HurstSoGood]

I can’t believe I’m spending Saturday morning wishing for Monday to arrive, but I guess that’s playoff basketball.

Take us home, Jess. Celtics in five.

Your epic run deserved a better ending, RSN. Well done, mate. Jess has you.

Tomorrow is promised to no one. Win tonight.

 

[Captaincoop]

KP told Abby Chin something completely different about his “restrictions” so we’ll see how much he can give.

Are there not gambling-related rules on this?

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Your epic run deserved a better ending, RSN. Well done, mate. Jess has you.

Tomorrow is promised to no one. Win tonight.

Thanks. Hard to think of a better SoSHer to pass the torch to. LFG!!

 

[Nator]

Let's get 18 tonight, no need for any additional basketball this season.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Porzingis didn’t run out w team

 

[RedOctober3829]

Porzingis didn’t run out w team

He’ll come out separately

 

[Shaky Walton]

Still no sign of KP.

 

[Ale Xander]

In (me not KP)

this is so awesome

 

[RedOctober3829]

Are there not gambling-related rules on this?

Not sure if Abby spoke out of turn or not but that’s what she said on TV

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Watching Boston teams in the playoffs is fantastic - excruciating, exciting, thrilling, invigorating hopeful triumphant all rolled up into one. So what, the Celts didn’t sweep.

Here, now, in the garden. Come out firing. Pass for excellent shot opportunities. Suffocate on defense. Wear them down. The Mavs are not up for the challenge tonight.

Win. 18.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Why is Julius Randle on the pre-game show?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Porzingis didn’t run out w team

He hasn’t these finals. He gets his own entrance.

 

[Preacher]

We went to give out breakfast to the monks and now we’re sitting down for breakfast and I just want the game to start.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Not sure if Abby spoke out of turn or not but that’s what she said on TV

Strange nobody on Twitter caught it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Conserving my phone battery for later, can’t wait to read this thread later

 

[ifmanis5]

Future you... hope this worked out.

what is this from?

 

[NickEsasky]

Let’s. Fucking. Go. Run them out of the building. Leave no doubt.

 

[Ale Xander]

F yeah!!!! KP

 

[Shaky Walton]

KP here with a roaring ovation! Saluting crowd.

 

[mostman]

Huge cheer for Zinger. Tipped his cup to the crowd.

 

[Mooch]

Step on their fucking throats.

 

[NavaHo]

Huge cheer for Zinger. Tipped his cup to the crowd.

Groin injury incoming?

 

[Auger34]

I am nervous as hell but I think this ends up being kind of a laugher.

it all comes together tonight

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

I’m straining to remember seeing Bill Russell’s last regular season game at the Garden with my mom when I was 8 years old. Win this for my late mom, Mary

She LOVED only one sport and only one team. She passed in October 2020

 

[ifmanis5]

Huge cheer for Zinger. Tipped his cup to the crowd.

[bellowthecat]

It's been an amazing ride watching the Jays and Brad grow through hundreds of basketball games. I am so fucking hyped right now I could run through a wall

 

[mostman]

LETS FUCKING GO. END THIS TONIGHT.

 

[bankshot1]

Wilbon picks the Mavs. That’s good news

Wilbon picked against Russell.

11 times!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Loud af here

 

[Bertha]

My Celtics/Bill Walton shirt arrived Saturday. It was a sign!

 

[CreedBratton]

Thought for sure KG & Pierce would be there like Russell was in 08.

 

[ifmanis5]

Thought for sure KG & Pierce would be there like Russell was in 08.

KG will be there for game 7 if it comes to that is my theory.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Run the offense---remember our process. The threes will drop.

Stay focused on D.

Be physical and play with force---both ends, and every rebound

This is our night boys....

 

[Captaincoop]

Breen openly gleeful about Dallas staying alive. Grrr.

 

[128]

Am I the only one whose stomach is absolutely churning as tipoff approaches?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Am I the only one whose stomach is absolutely churning as tipoff approaches?

Mine has been churning since like 2.

 

[Auger34]

Thought for sure KG & Pierce would be there like Russell was in 08.

yeah, kind of disappointed they aren’t there. Especially KG

 

[HurstSoGood]

Just to remind everyone: Dallas blew their confetti bomb after Game 4. They already know they are done hosting NBA Playoff games this season.

Enjoy the ride. Tonight we celebrate.

 

[McBride11]

He’ll come out separately

In a wheelchair

 

[Captaincoop]

Should have borrowed the Bruins guy for this anthem

 

[Ale Xander]

The seats are Full my friends as will be the Perform of the Celtics players and coaches.

 

[EddieYost]

Is this singer famous?

 

[kfoss99]

Am I the only one whose stomach is absolutely churning as tipoff approaches?

Nope. I want to throw up.

 

[bohous]

Luka is already sweaty

 

[Ale Xander]

Should have borrowed the Bruins guy for this anthem

Better in person

 

[BigSoxFan]

Game 7 nerves for a Game 5. I’m a mess. Blitz these fools!
