About time "let them play" worked in our favor.

Man, this is a mentally tough team. Can’t say enough about the veteran leadership of Holiday and Horford.
P.S., that was a sick end of game play that almost worked.

Might be naive but I think they flipped the switch I know this team plays with its food

Yeah, we knew they had the talent, but the guts and heart they showed tonight and in game 1 is really, really something.

Oh my God, what a beautiful play Indiana ran on the final shot.
But F*CK INDIANA. F*ck Rick Carlisle and his stupid no timeout call. And thank f*cking God we have Jrue. I have no idea how we won this. Tatum balled so hard man. I’m just speechless.

Celts are treating us to quite a ride. Hope they finish this off quick, get KPor back, rest a bit and get ready for an epic finale.

That behind the back pass by Tatum in that situation was insane.

Great last 1.5 quarters by Celtics, but this was only a game because they didn't show up till mid third quarter.
BTW Tillman with team leading plus minus and he frankly didn't do much. He looks out of shape.

That was the game I’ve waited 7 years to see this team play. Nothing goes your way. And yet you continue to execute at such a level that you eventually choke out your vastly inferior opponent. This was an anaconda waiting out a mouse. Bravo.

Celtics got no calls. (that last play by Jrue was NOT a foul). Couldn't hit a big shot until the 4th quarter. Still gutted out a win. Awesome game.

Yeah, let’s talk about the foul on Jrue. That’s either no foul or that’s a clear path foul. There’s literally no middle ground here.

He looks out of shape. I am biased because I’ve loved Tillman since his college days, but he’s such an elite positional defender, much like Al Horford, and he’s really able to slide his feet like Al a few years back. Love seeing those two play together. Really high IQ defense when they are both on the floor, particularly when you also have White and Jrue out there too.

Btw, did anyone else notice that BS shooting foul on Jaylen where he stripped Nembhard clean with a few minutes left? The old Celtics would have sulked and shrugged their shoulders. Jrue and White embody positive attitudes in the face of adversity. They didn’t shoot it well tonight, but continued playing hard through 48.

My last thought on this game - Tatum had a complete game. Big time, top level player game.

If Jrue is sick, I'd rather him watch the game from home. I'd rather not get any of the other guys sick. They should win despite the injuries. No Haliburton makes things easier. Without Jrue, they would not have won tonight.

That was the refs thinking "if we call this the right way, then we've 'decided' the game, so let's not make the right call" I hate crap like that. If Nesmith hits that final shot, we might lose because they literally knew what the right call was, had time to make it, and just flat decided not to .

Without Jrue, they would not have won tonight. That’s true, but it’s also annoying when you go back in the thread and try to make people look bad after an emotional game.

They did that for the whole game, but they overcame it. BTW, Tatum, superstar performance 36/10/8, 2 Blocks 1 steal, 0 Turnovers.
