Smart is going to hit the big shot

[satch]

Ugh gotta hit at least one Jay

Paul Pierce don't miss those

He did when he was 20 years old.

[Roy H.]

wow i didn't expect tatum to miss both free throws.  the crowd got in his head for a bit there.

Better than a missed dunk, I guess.

The 10 minutes it took them to clean the floor didn't help

I mean, Jesus Christ, Brad, we have like 7 empty possessions in a row, and yet you simply let them play through it and don't call a TO when we have three left? Do your freaking job. That stretch was just begging for us to take the lead for good, but you sat on your hands and let it go to waste.

I mean, we ARE two wins away from the ECF after losing 2 All-Stars... I think he's done his job.

The kick ball call was regretfully... a correct call.

"A player shall not kick the ball or strike it with the fist. b. Kicking the ball or striking it with any part of the leg is a violation when it is an intentional act. The ball accidentally striking the foot, the leg or fist is not a violation.Dec 26, 2014"

Thx....

Yes, we win this and they crumble. Cbs has to come up with a counter.

Can’t buy a three.  Will need one down the stretch here.

That’s it. If Tatum hits his free throws and we hit one of those wide open 3s, we’re in great shape. I wouldn’t say they’ve been terrible possessions. Just missed shots.

Ridiculous how poor NBA officiating is. Cost Boston the game in Milwaukee and now today. Just pathetic.

The NBA doesn't like sweeps.  Costs them ad revenue.  Especially when Philly/Boston and all these young guys are way more interesting than Cavs/Toronto.

They cost us championships.

You mean all those tick tack fouls in the first 4 minutes of the 4th quarter of game 7 of the 2010 finals that let the Lakers creep back into the game.  Cause I hear that!

[Surferdad]

This whole series is going to come down to the Celtics shooting.  If they make enough shots they'll win.

Pretty much the line for every game in the NBA, ever.

[CelticsElite]

Rookies miss free throws. It happens. It comes with the territory

[Kuberski33]

After this game Brad needs to publicly complain about the refereeing.  Lay the foundation for the next game...or the one they're really going to need (maybe) Game 5.

[RGow8]

Can the announcers blow Philly more? lol

Brad might be the single biggest reason we're here.  I think he's fine.
