THAT was relieving....

What more can I say? Nice to see 5 of our 7 guys get in double figures. Even nicer to be in control for most of the game. In game four, I was on edge the entire time. It was far from a satisfying win. Game 5 was another story. It's been AWHILE since I've been so fired up watching the Celtics. Can't believe they pulled it off so well on the Knick's home court.

What a win. GO CELTICS!

I agree it was a gritty team win with contributions from everybody. KG with great rebounding/defense all night setting great screens, big bucket down the stretch. Pierce lit it up when it mattered he had some sweet dimes too. Terry was clutch gave us buckets when we needed them same for Bass with a HUGE bucket down the stretch kissed off the glass. Terrence came in and gave our guys a blow, calmed everybody down and ran our offense. Green had some daggers. It was awesome.

Bass on Melo.

Bass on Melo.

He's doing an admirable job for sure.

This should have happened in game 2. But i'm not complaining. I will gladly take this win. Especially since this was a road game. It was great to see tha Celtics fight and compete for 48 minutes. They need to continue that. No collapsing and back tracking. It would be amazing to see tha Celtics make playoff history with a series comeback. If any team can do it tho, it's tha Celtics.

They have too much pride to go lay down that easily and tha Knicks might be starting to break. They wanted tha sweep, didn't get it. They got dressed for this "funeral" but tha Celtics rose up and showed life. They're still alive. Now they've shifted tha momentum and this series back to Boston.

Let's even this thing out fellas!

He definitely is.  The only issue is the blow by and if our rotations were a bit better we wouldn't have allowed a couple of dunks or layups he had.  But he's bothering Melo's jumper so much.

The older the Celtics get, it seems they need more pressure collectively to get it done.

Which doesn't surprise me at all because as an undergrad with a difficult major that is graduating in three weeks, six years into a degree that should have only taken four, I feel the EXACT same way. I suppose that's what happens when you study at three different universities...

I think the regular season was also indicative of this. The Celtics played pretty poorly towards the end, but at the same time didn't appear to be worried because they knew (more or less) they would have a playoff berth
