Dude, where in VT are you from? I graduated from high school in South Burlington in 2008 so we might know some of the same people lol Barre, I graduated Spaulding in 09. Don't hold the Barre background against me too much ha. Small world but I guess not all that surprising being a Red Sox/NE sports forum. I went to college with friends from Barre, lol, but I’m 10 years ahead of you.

"Don’t settle for the step-back 3. Every time we drive we get a wide-open shot." - Jayson Tatum Apparently Tatum said this last night in a huddle. That is an insane quote given this is only really a problem for Tatum. Yes, this is a good thing. It’s part of a maturation process.

We usually hit up Cold Hollow, Burlington, Cabot, Montpellier while we're there.

There were two plays late right before he fouled out where he took a shot fell over and just layed on the ground. The Celtics got at least one fast break bucket because of it. I mean what is he doing or thinking out there? It's the NBA finals get your ass up and get back in the play. I actually remember the two you are talking about, I think he was flopping on the first one trying to get a foul but I have no idea why he fell on the second one. I think he was wide open I took my eye off him after he let the shot go, next thing he's rolling on the ground. Yes those are the exact two plays! I agree the first one seemed like maybe he was trying to get a call since it was maybe some contact but not nearly enough. The second one was a lightly contested three pointer where there was no chance anyone touched him and he just fell backwards and layed there. My first thought was oh no he hurt himself since he didn't get up but then when the Mavs got the ball back there he was with no issue. He's a great player and is still just 25 so he has plenty of time and room to grow but he certainly has to grow up quite a bit. He needs to get into better shape, actually give a crap on defense and not constantly whine if he's ever going to reach his full potential. He's already probably the best offensive player in the game but there's two sides of the floor not one.

Going to sound weird but I've been dealing with a new toxic boss at work and soxprospects and the Finals has been a very nice respite -- brings me back to my youth when I first signed up here as a teen.
Appreciate you all and looking forward to game 4.

Appreciate you all and looking forward to game 4. That same thing happened to me in 2018. I missed the parade and regret not just going. You’ll get through it! Try to go to the parade!

Cannot wait for tonight. Whether its tonight or even if it winds up being Game 5 in Boston (I think only the trophy makes it back to Boston, not the series), I'm so excited for Banner 18. The Celtics are going to win and I'm so excited about it.
Between UConn and the Celtics, New England has the market cornered on men's basketball greatness.

Appreciate you all and looking forward to game 4. Stay strong friend and I hope you find a better working place. This board has been here for me through all the insanity in my life and I know it’s the same thing for a lot of us. Let’s chip tonight!

Scott “The Extender” Foster is Crew Chief tonight. And Tony Brothers the Replay Official. I think our top five are still good enough to win five-on-seven!

Aren't the Celtics 6-0 with Foster?

I'm predicting 20+ from White and 10+ from PP tonight. The 3s will flow like water going over Niagara Falls, and a gold ball trophy will be presented to the men in green. Let's finish this.

Takes me back to my mindset with Sox in 2004 after a long championship hiatus. Will we get a lead and see Dallas collapse in resignation or will we relax a bit and see Dallas, backs to the wall, play great. Here's hoping it's the former.

Mavs don't want to get swept. Playing hard. 15-6 advantage on rebounds. Cs not blocking out.

Tatum and Brown complaining about the officiating way too much - have given up a couple buckets already and Tatum trying to draw fouls instead of make shots.

Celts need the quarter to end, regroup - go back to doing the things that got them here. Start chipping away at this lead.
