We win 4 straight and Denver gets rusty sitting around for 2 weeks.

All part of the master plan!

We have them right where we want them!

Have to say as painful as it’s been to watch this team the last three games I don’t think I’m ready for this to be the final game of the season.

The 1983 Larry Bird Celtics got Swept 4 straight out of the playoffs in the 2nd round by The Bucks and returned in 1984 to Win the Championship.

People forget this, nothing is perfect.

But Bird and the Cs had already won a title in '81; they were a proven commodity. This team can't make that claim.

That team changed coaches after the season.  Hopefully history will repeat itself.

Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin in the ECF: Vincent — Martin — 17.7 PPG 19.3 PPG 60.7 FG% 63.2 FG% 55.6 3P% 47.6 3P% Made more 3-pointers than the Celtics starters combined.

That's just insane.

We're not coming back from 3-0, but I still don't want the season to end tonight. Please just extend for it for a few more days at least 

Just delaying the inevitable, IMO. And if Boston somehow forced a Game 7 or even a Game 6 before losing, I might be even more upset, because I'd be wondering why they took so long to start playing well, and why they teased us.

More like sad.

Are you sure it just wasn't the fact he turned 28 and was visited by the NBA fairy who grants all players enhanced skills as soon as they reach that magical age?

Got Scott Foster tonight… let’s hope he embraces his Extender role.

Tatum for 20 free throw attempts by half time

We've made Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin look like Steve Nash and Reggie Miller

[Redz]

Not happy it’s my team in this position, but I do have a fascination with game 4’s with a potential sweep.  It says a ton about a team - on both sides. 

[celticinorlando]

Will go down with the ship tonight. Have to watch I guess
