They can. I would be pleasantly surprised. I'd be less shocked if they got blown out after another abysmal 3rd quarter. Watching Game 3 in a sports bar in New York in my Pierce jersey was baad times.

Bad thing is
Pierce had 49 minutes game on Sunday.
He will not be 100% ready ( especially for second half of the game crucial for us so far)

Sadly I doubt it.  I just think the Knicks are too good, and the C's are just cooked.  But I am so glad they won game 4.  There is a decent chance that was the last game KG and/or Pierce play in Boston as a member of the Celtics.  It is only right that they went out with a win.

I expect us to continue to play well defensively.  I've been really impressed with the defense that Brandon Bass has played on Carmelo Anthony.  His play has been one of the most pleasant surprises of this series. 

Yes, we really miss Rondo on the offensive end, but I think it's fair to hope that we have at least one game in us where we aren't completely abysmal on that end of the floor.  I'm hoping that tomorrow night is that game. 

If so, we can bring this game back to Boston for a game six.

All they have to do is avoid having a historically bad second half and they will have a chance.

The Knicks are a much better team overall and I don't think the Celtics would have won Game 4 if J.R. Smith had been playing, so I'm going to say the Celtics are definitely not winning Game 5.

I think so.

NY backs are not against the wall ....not a must win....maybe they will slip up.

My heart likes their chances ,  I'm forever a Celtic. 

 Unfortunately Recent history is on the Knicks side , they have been hot , while the Celtics sputter along like an old car on its last legs.


The C's seem to put together a really good game ALL four quarters every few games, its been a while and I'm just hoping they are due a good game and NY forgets HOW to win.

Maybe game and shots will fall the C's way for a chance. :)

Remember during 1st game, Cs lead 70-63 till last second sof 3 rd quarter. If the team play hard, no giving turnovers and have a good fg%, nothing is impossible
