I still think the C's can win this.  I also thought they'd put in the effort to win game 3 from the opening tip.

Yeah that's what sucks. Guess I was feeling cocky but I felt so good about Saturday Night with momentum on our side and being at home too. Oh well, just win Game 4 and go from there at this point.

The Celtics will win three games in a row.

Two of the three being, ‘Gino Time’ blow-outs.

Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro listed as questionable for game 4 Lowry, Tucker, Strus, and Vincent are questionable as well, but those should comfortably play

Butler has knee inflammation and Herro has a groin problem. I wouldn't be surprised if both play, though a groin injury can be pretty painful.

Miami's injury reports are basically just like Brady and the New England Patriots in the past lol. They'll pretty much list everyone, including TB12 and other star players when he was with NE on the injury report as "questionable" but you always knew they'd play  :P

That's the problem. Celtics are deteriorating physically.

Two very physical series in a row.

Injuries didn't seem to bother Lowry or Tucker in Game 3, even a little.
They were the two stars, along with Abeyo, that beat us last nite.

After dominating Game 2, being injury riddled, and them playing a perfect 1st quarter in Game 3, they would’ve given up the series if we would’ve found a way to take Game 3. It is what it is though.

It’s ridiculous how they’ve only won 2 quarters in 3 games yet they lead the series 2-1. But the longer the series goes the tougher it’ll be for them.

The Cs resilience is part of what makes them elite. The pace, physicality, and schedule has already started to impact the Heat with injuries. Even without the injuries, we have the better team and the effort that they have to use to play their aggressive brand of defense and run in transition will be tough for them to sustain throughout the series.

I think we’ll win three straight to put this series to bed.

For sure. I expect a bounce back win tomorrow which has happened after every loss, and then we just need to win our last home game and take one one in Miami. We took two in Milwaukee and they actually have passionate fans, so I don’t see why it can’t be done.
