At the end of today, someone will be up 3-2 heading back to Boston.

Let it be us.

The kind of hard hitting analysis that would get you a job at ESPN  :laugh:

But agreed. Praying it’s us.
The game could go to triple OT and into tomorrow (in the US). So maybe at the end of today we will still be playing ;D

First game of the series - and most of playoffs - I've been nervous for.  GSW doesn't lose two in a row.  We really need this one.

Neither do we. I think the only consecutive games we've lost recently (i.e. the last 5 months) was that Toronto-Miami stretch, where we played our bench against Toronto.

Also true.  And I'm banking on this one.  I don't like their home court, the refs, their dynasty's appeal to the league, and ability to close 4th quarters. We gotta win this game tonight.  No excuses.  We're more talented, we play better defense, and healthy enough.

Once again, no idea what to expect from this team, but we all know they’re 100% capable of bouncing back after a loss and beating a top notch team on the road. 

Would love to see Tatum hush the critics and take charge again.

Big one tonight. GO CELTS!
Yup

Steven A. Smith just said in the pregame show that he See’s Kerr making adjustments and upping his coaching prowess. Then went on to say that he sees Udoka doing the same thing over and over again. Said that he can’t continue to be so rigid with his game plan and that he needs to make adjustments. I don’t always agree with SAS,  buts it’s hard to disagree with any of that.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

JT and Al are the ones I'm looking to see step up tonight. Let's see them step up and keep the turnovers down, and we got this in the bag.

When Horford is scoring we’ve been unstoppable
Yup

Absolutely. When he plays aggressively on offence it opens up so much

Hey
Take a deep breath and try to enjoy the fact that we have a horse in the race in the NBA Finals with just two wins to pay dirt!   These are good times. 

Go Celts!
Yup

We're going to have to make them lose 2 in a row starting with this one  :police:
