Need a win tonight or this will go 7 in order to take the series. They have been better on the road so I'm hoping for a big win. A big game from Tatum or Brown would be nice.

Really like Tatum's aggressiveness out of the gate. Al is getting burned on the outside and inside the paint, he needs to step up. Also, need to stop switching with him on Mitchell unless necessary.

I like how Mitchell is going off just to have them hang with the Celtics. Capesox, you do know that Horford is 37 years old and starting because Krispis is out yes? Jrue Holiday is playing very well.

If I never have to see another Jayson Tatum step back/fall away/sidestep three, I’ll die a happy fan.

I really find it so frustrating to watch ISO Jayson. He has teammates - why doesn't he want to use them?

Weird game, it felt tighter than the score.

I am a bit surprised there hasn’t been more of a focus to wear down Mitchell.
That worked super well in game one and he was gassed at the end of that game.

Mitchell shoves White very hard, offensive foul no call, and they announcers use that as why he's a superstar, smh.

I realize that, he isn't the player he was even 3 years ago. He has lost foot speed and can't hang with a shifty all-star talent like Mitchell. Thats why I said they need to stop switching with him on Mitchell. He over helped on drivers at least a couple times and left Mobley open for easy baskets too though. Need to stay disciplined in his roll. Love the way Jrue is playing, they need it with White struggling. Jaylen has been solid, and still like Tatum's aggressiveness over him been too passive and deferring too much.

Ball movement - passing - this is what works, as we now see.

That defensive possession where Mitchell got double teamed is exactly what I was looking for.

And now they miss FTs and take their foot off the gas.

Celts can't deal with a lead - the Js stop doing the things that work. They are so frustrating. Mitchell is the best player on the floor.

Man I was terrified to see Pritchard guarding Mitchell there. Great final close to the 3rd getting a three then a stop.

Mitchell is at 32 minutes going into the fourth. If we D him up hard we should win.

23 point lead is now down to 9. See - this is what concerns me about this team.

Don, these are just pointless posts. No one’s excited by second round wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers anymore. This isn’t Evan Turner and Jordan Crawford scrapping it out against superior opponents. We have all been waiting for years to see this team evolve and take a step in their maturation.

The offense is so much better when the ball moves.
