i mean, we lost two games, by two shots basically...

after you lose the 3rd game than it's time to panic.

i still have full confidence, plus i am really excited about having hayward back(i guess with the birth of his child)

Looking at how the lakers is playing, I'm not sure which is worse: not going to the finals or get there and humiliated by the laters.

Kemba is a major disappointment come playoff time.

Why do people always ask the question the wrong way?  It’s not can the Celtics come back; that’s the complete weenie way to ask.  Of course the answer to that is yes.

The question is WILL the Celtics come back.  I’m betting the responses would be different if you asked it that way.

Well, I believe Boston still has the more talented team, for sure.  But talent only get you so far, so.....

At that point, what's even the point of watching the game? I know I wouldn't waste my time if I thought so negatively about our team.

I think having Hayward back makes us a different team. We’re just tired down the stretch and are making mistakes where we’d normally make big plays. Hayward will give our starters 25 less minutes to play.

This young team has to learn how to step on others teams throats once we are ahead by 10+ points.

....just look at LeBron closing out Rockets, Traiblaizers, even Nuggets last night.  He just finish it.

I hope we win tonight, but not sure Cs are capable of maintaining  a 10+ point lead. 

....Now, maybe we need a 30pts lead, then I think we can pull a victory in double OT.  That’s how bad it is...

20 point lead in the first half isn't even safe. This team likes to play close and then they choke at the end.

I believe that no Boston lead is safe, unless they're up 20 with a minute to go.
"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"

"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."

I believe they aren’t who I thought they were. Kemba has been exposed for 2 series straight. Idk why I expected way more out of him but he really isn’t stepping up enough at all.
