Will be very interesting to see if Vincent is able to play in Game 6. Feels like it will be very hard for them to win if he doesn't. They were struggling to get into their offense without him.

His replacement was pretty good tonight lol

Unfortunately we’re very likely getting Brothers or Zarba Game 6. Hope it’s Zarba because Brothers is 10x worse and has a clear bias against the Celtics

Foster likely gets Game 7 like last year and even last round

How bad is his injury? If it was enough to keep him out of this game can't imagine it would heal in 6 days

He rolled it pretty bad based on the replay. He seemed ok though after the game. My guess is he’ll try to give it a go. Game 6 is their Game 7. That’s gonna be their battle cry.

Just realized that out of all NBA teams that have gotten to game 7 after being down 3-0, none of them were the home team in game 7.

Eh, he was decent, but he doesn't bring the playmaking that Vincent does. And alot of his points were in scrub time when the game was already won.

If it's bad though he may not be that effective. Like brogdon was for us tonight. Sure he played but was a shell of himself

If they win it all this year, that would mean a number of things....

They finally played up to their capabilities.
They played hard, tough defense
They didn't get crushed on the boards
They avg'd under 12 TOs a game
They moved the ball around

They didn't wilt under the pressure in tight games

All these outcomes are predicated on effort, energy, patience, trust, selflessness, mental toughness - all things they CAN control...even if their shots aren't falling.  Now, of course, make no mistake....they will have to have hit shots.  But all of the above will keep them in games no matter what.

I feel like these intangibles have been inconsistent all year.  A major reason why it was frustrating to watch them at times throughout the season.  They lived and died by the 3 and were able to beat much of the league because so.  But the playoffs are different.  We've been exposed because much of the above has been missing.  They showed it in spurts.  Can they show it over the next few weeks, is the question.

They did all this tonight!!

He might play but no way is he going to be effective unless they shoot that mofo up. That was a bad roll

All Celtics need to do is keep the defensive intensity up and everything else will follow.

People will talk about the 40% from 3. But the story of the last 2 games is really the resurgence of the Boston defense, forcing turnovers.
