Last post before the game. People will talk about how no team has ever come back from 0-3 before. It would be really extraordinary to force (and then win) a game seven.

Not to get too math-y, but in a seven game series between two teams, if we assume that the odds for victory are essentially equal each game, there's a 1 in 128 chance of one team losing three and then winning four.

In other words, the weirder quirk is why this had never happened in the NBA playoffs before - but presumably this is because teams that find themselves down 0-3 are usually not equally matched with their opponents. This series is obviously not an example of that.

So, basically, all praise the Coinflip Celtics. Hopefully it falls the right way tonight. Have a lovely weekend everyone, and enjoy the game.
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Of course I wasn’t nervous at all going into the last 2 games because I had kind of accepted our fate.
Very nervous about this one.
2 wins away from the finals.

forget about 3-0 and history it is 3-2 now going on the road in an elimination game. This is somewhere the celtics have been before...and Tatum has taken us to game 7 against milwaukee and Philly.

hopefully this is a huge tatum game..

Really hope we don’t get Tony Brothers tomorrow. Unfortunately I think we will.

I wouldn’t even mind Zarba. But Brothers is absolutely the worst for the C’s

They won’t give us Brothers. A game 7 would be an unbelievable narrative. I expect Zarba tomorrow, and Scott Foster in game 7.

You got it!

Zarba tonight. Looks like Foster in a potential Game 7

Tonight is the series. Obviously Miami wins it’s over. If Boston wins I don’t see how Miami wins game 7 in Boston. Yes the Celtics have been a 500 team at home, yes Miami can win there however these circumstances are different. Getting to a game 7 after being down 0-3 and to have that game at home, Celtics will be completely locked in with a loud crazy crowd behind them. Add in the pressure Miami will feel about being the first team to blow 0-3. No way do the Celtics lose game 7. Tonight is the series.

If the Celtics play defense like they are capable of then they win this series. You can miss 10 shots in a row and it won’t matter too much if you’re playing defense because they can still keep it close. Miss shots and start complaining to the refs instead of getting back on defense and we know what happens. Defense defense defense. Hopefully Mazzula is preaching this over and over right now.

Miami needs help from Boston to win. If the Celtics play defense, rebound and limit the turnovers, Boston wins.

Butler is going to be uber aggressive. He will shoot a ton of FTS tonight.

Have to make sure Robinson, Martin, Vincent and Strus do not beat you.

Boston @ Miami   Zach Zarba (#15)   Josh Tiven (#58)   James Williams (#60)


Avoided Tony Brothers...who will most likely call game 7.

vincent is hurt. attack him non stop. attack lowry.  blitz and pressure butler as needed force turnovers. make him panic trying to play hero ball. take charges.

we need to get out and run for 48 minutes straight.  wear them down.  no let up. play with urgency and desperation.  break their will. get in their heads. give them no hope. make them feel that millston around their neck pulling them deeper under water. we must have a killer instinct.

LET'S GO CELTICS!
