Shocked we didn’t get foster. But I’m sure the nba has heard all of the extender comments about him.

Seems if there is a game 7 Scott foster probably gets the whistle.

They've actually followed the same lead refs schedule as in last year's Suns-Bucks series.

Game 1 Marc Davis, Game 2 Zarba, Game 3 Foster, Game 4 Capers, and then repeat for Games 5-7 with Capers obviously leading just 1 game. So Foster should definitely be Game 7

Can't we just make a deal with Silver and instead of having Zarba ref, we start the game 15 pts down and JT/JB both have 2 fouls? At least we could have 4 qtrs to dig ourselves out of the hole.

Thanks for making me laugh at this otherwise bad news!

There are a lot of people saying Tatum needs a big game tonight. If we get that, it would be great. However, I believe Jaylen is the key. He has an ability to impose his will on the game and be unstoppable. It just doesn't happen all too often, and unfortunately I think a lack of decisiveness contributes to turnovers and being stopped. He imposed his will in the fourth quarter of game 1, and his teammates piled on. Jaylen has probably been the Celtics best player this series, but I think he has another gear.

I hope he does more catch and shoot, top of the key/elbow shots,  move without the ball/back cuts.  Everytime he dances and dribbles senselessly or drives into the teeth of the defense it scares me…everytime.  He needs to simplify his attacks.

Oh, and like Eddie House said during the post game..."Somebody go steal JB's hand lotion out of his locker!!"

TP to FL and let’s go Celtics!

I went to game 3 and didn’t attend game 4, so I’m hoping my presence again tonight is good luck. I’ll be wearing my same outfit from game 3, Mitchell and Ness Bill Russell jersey and all.

I'd be really disappointed if they lost tonight, not just because it'd obviously mean we're eliminated but also, for us to be a resilient team and then lose 3 in a row this series (with 2 at home) would be a bit of a gut-punch. We blew Game 4 and then lost Game 5 on the road, but now at home it's time to regroup and play better. Losing in 7 with Game 7 on the road is one thing, but losing 3 in a row with 2 of those games at home would definitely leave a lot to be desired.

We better not come out flat tonight either. Would be inexcusable given all the circumstances.

I really do hope there is a sense of Celtic’s Pride on display tonight.  All out effort for 1 game.  Dont worry about or look ahead to game 7.  Maybe a special call from a legend like Russell or Bird or The Truth.  Or a locker room pep talk from KG.

I know its a lot to ask but it’d be great if we could match and bring the energy for the entire game like the first 10 minutes of the third quarter in game 5

Me too, but not surprised and no one else should be either. There's been dozens of suggestions for things they have to fix to take Game 6, but realistically I don't see this zebra changing its stripes at this point.

Live with curry’s big game. It’s Poole and Wiggins they need to shut off.

Knowing this team, we're going to come out like gangbusters and hold a comfortable 20 point lead most of the night. This will give us all hope heading into game 7 on Sunday. Only to have a heartbreaking loss in game 7. Sounds about right, right?

Not quite - a 20 point lead will dissipate sometime in the 4th quarter, causing panic attacks across Celtic Nation.

If they can win despite zarba, they can win gm 7 in GS.
Still don't believe in Joe.

This. The offense will slow. Marcus Smart will hit the game clinching driving floater after previously being 4-15 from the field.

I don't think there's any result tonight that could surprise me. I have no idea what's gonna happen.

My mind says Celtics will take a 15 point lead in the 4th qtr and then lose by 2 at the end due to careless mistakes

My heart tells me Celtics win by 30 points where the Warriors fell asleep and setting up a Game 7 on the road.
