Celtics 2024 Playoff Run Thread

Cleveland.  We already lost to Orlando because of a Mo Wagner revenge game.  I don’t need a Mo Wagner revenge series.

We were winning by like 14-15 points in the 2nd half when KP in that Orlando game in Orlando. The Magic then proceeded to destroy us after that moment.

That being said, Cleveland gave us our most embarrassing loss of  the year and they just seemingly have more proven pieces. Mo Wagner kills me, but so does Max Strus

Celtics assistant coach Charles Lee:

“I’m not optimistic KP returns tonight, but I think he’s going to be fine moving forward.”

Breathe easy, Celtics fans.

This is supposedly from Abby Chin’s conversation with Lee last night. Makes me feel a little bit better that this won’t be a super long thing if all the optimism out of KP, Lee, and everyone else is to be believed.

You would hope so but we've seen letdowns at home before.  Let's hope a switch got flipped after the Game 2 debacle.

In addition, Duncan Robinson and his punchable mouth breather face has a back injury that has impacted his minutes as of late.

Omg ….is this ever a set up for “ classic” Celtics night off / letdown / no urgency rip your hair out fan game.  And we know the Heat always gives 110% no matter who they are putting on the floor .  For the Heat it’s always a war , never a friendly contest.

Yeah Wed night is going to be a test for mental focus for this team.   It feels like we will be primed for a mental letdown.   For so many reasons, we need to take care of business and eject the heat from the playoffs wed night.

Just keep going back to the fact Orlando just does not shoot well esp from 3. That really limits the damage they can do to Boston.

Celticinorlando wants Orlando. I wonder why 

(I do too btw, my preference)

me too, I think our pref would be to play the Magic.   But I don't think we will get that, I think Clev is going to win the series.   D. Mitchell gets his mojo back at home.

Still no KP news. Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Not that Jacquez is close to the level of Dejounte Murray, but it kind of reminds me of when he was suspended for Game 5 last year and we thought it'd make things way easier. Then we blew Game 5 and had to go to a 6th game vs. Atlanta of all teams. That also felt like the first sign among others that last year's group might not have what it takes to make the Finals.

So yeah, while tomorrow isn't a traditional "must win" it really is one they shouldn't lose. If they do, I think that's not a good sign. Even without Porzingis they need to take care of business at home and get rid of these dirty Heat. You also don't want to give the Heat an extra 48-96 minutes to possibly injure more of our guys if you lose Game 5.

This was posted 2.5 hours ago and no one has confirmed it since. I think they are just pretending and hoping it's true so it looks like they were "first".
