I'm starting to feel nervous. It seems like everybody in the media has already moved on to the Finals, like us beating Miami is a foregone conclusion. We know the Heat players aren't going to roll over, so the Celts need to be supremely focused, even if they build a lead.
Same feeling here, although the fact that Tatum has spoken after game 5 - and before the media "anointing" the Celtics - that they can't listen to it and just have to be prepared makes me think they will be.
I really think it will either be a close game throughout that can go both ways or a Boston blowout a la Milwaukee game 7 or game 6 in the '08 Finals (not with the same scoring difference obviously but in a "liberating" kind of way).
What makes it even more stressful as a fan, though, is that at the end of this game we will either be extremely happy and glad to see the team get the ECF champs gear and trophies or terribly frustrated and worried that they have to play a game 7 on the road. As that's always been the case during this playoff run, we'll be in for extremely high or extremely low emotions
Anyway, thanks again for the great thread FLCeltsFan and let's go Celtics, grab that trip to the Finals we've all been waiting for since so many years !
