Heat (3-3) at Celtics (3-3) ECF Game 7 5/29/23

[Chief]

Let’s make history!

Garden is going to be rocking for sure. Expecting to see a lot of ‘00’s faces (Celtics and Red Sox) along the baselines and sidelines.

KG needs to be there

[Birdman]

If guys don’t get fire up for this game, then they never will

[libermaniac]

Cowboy up!

[celticinorlando]

Welp they got here. Might as well win the game.

[Silas]

As KG famously said...."anything is possible".  Remember 2004 and the Red Sox "Idiots".  Johnny Damon came up with the name to refer to the team's ability to block out negative history.  They didn't care about what happened in the past and knew what they needed to do to win and they did.  Go Cs!

time to get the job done! i'm cautiously optimistic. It's game 7 at home, celtics generally play well in this spot. and Miami just lost in a devastating way. Garden will be rocking. just can't lose 3-4 at home in this series...

We need to keep up the defensive intensity of the last 3 games, move the ball around more (last game was more standing around). we wont shoot 20% again and the role-players will come up big at home feeding off the crowd!

[celticinorlando]

This series has been so all over the road I have no idea what to expect tonight.

Yeah, not sure what to expect. But you have to imagine Boston will bring it energy wise tonight. At home, the garden is going to be loud. we cant shoot 20% again from 3 with the J's going 0-12 right? If we can get better 3 point shooting, continue to dominate the paint and play with that defensive energy of the last 3 games I think we are on our way to a win.

I think the first quarter is going to determine how this game is going to go. If celtics hit a couple 3's and the Heats roleplayers miss a couple I think we are on our way to a win. If we miss a couple and Miami's roleplayers are still shooting 50% this game is going down to the 4th quarter.

The only thing keeping Miami alive in these games is that their roleplayers are shooting 50% from 3.

Hell, he could probably suit up!

[Redz]

Cowboy up!

Lol
Wasn’t That was the ‘03 Sox motto.  I loved that team.

[Redz]

As if watching Game 6 wasn’t nerve wracking enough, here we go with Game 7. C’s are 7.5 point favorites. Let’s go!! Brogdon and Vincent are both listed as questionable. I bet Vincent plays though.

I’m hoping Brogdon doesn’t play. He can’t hit anything, he isn’t a good defender and his absence means White gets max minutes. I guess I have to live with some spot Hauser/Pritchard minutes.

Any word on how long those take to heal?

Should we be fortunate enough to win!

Go Celts!

My prediction was: if the Celts win Game 6 in a dog fight then Game 7 will also be a dogfight.  If they win easily, then Game 7 would be a blowout.

I hope I’m wrong but I think we’re in for another nail biter.

Happy to be in this position.  GO CELTS!

Refs are

Scott Foster
Tony brothers
John Goble.

Hopefully foster/brothers cancel each other out...

[smokeablount]

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

Is how predictable the NBA is more funny or disturbing?

[celticinorlando]

Oh boy. Heat fans hate foster and Celtics fans hate brothers

The NBA refs run on a rotation, no conspiracy here.
