They should activate GH for a last minute worst case play.

Toronto does all they can to get an edge. I heard a rumor Ibaka was out for game 6. Where did that come from?

My key to the game tonight is to stick Smart on Lowry.  Smart does not need to score.  He just needs to spend every minute on the floor that Lowry is on the floor and fight over picks (don't switch).  Don't let Lowry go off.

Here's what needs to happen, IMO:

1) Stick Smart, and only Smart, on Lowry. Smart doesn't come out unless Lowry does. When Lowry comes back in, Smart comes back in.

2) Do not leave Ibaka open at the 3pt line. Seems a bit ridiculous to me to have to say that, as though he's Ray Allen, but for this series he has been that good.

3) If the Raps are going to keep focusing on Kemba, have Smart bring up the ball and run Kemba off screens. The Celtics MUST find ways for Kemba to get the ball with room to drive or shoot.

4) The Cs must also find a way to get Tatum open looks, and he needs to make them.

5) Lockdown defense from everyone, especially at the 3pt line.

6) Limit turnovers.

7) Relax.

Just got a feeling that '18 taught them a lot.  That the young guys will make the leap.  I don't think the pressure of a Game 7 will get to them.  These guys are pretty confident and it would shock me to see deer in headlights right now.

They bounced back after a letdown Game 4 and were focused as heck & locked in for Game 5. I'm would not be shocked to see the same thing tonight. 

I feel like TOR threw the kitchen sink at the C's in Game 6 and still barely squeaked by while the Celtics, for all intents & purposes, didn't play that well.  Defending champs were not going to go down without a fight & they illustrated that in Game 6.  I also think, from a physical standpoint, the Celtics are in better shape coming off a 2OT game two days ago. 

Cautiously optimistic.

Hayward for the game winner at the buzzer.

If Nurse is roaming the sidelines again too close to the action, I want to see us throw the ball near him and have Smart dive towards it and nail him 'accidentally'

It's 2:27 am here in Greece. The game starts at 4 am local time. I can fall asleep and watch it tomorrow on replay (with no adds during timeouts), but for some stupid reason I wanna watch it live.

The season is on the line. Let's go C's!

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
