Apparently Hayward is in the bubble!

He's been quarantined for several days already.

He's also reportedly running on his ankle, but not cutting yet.

This is how contenders respond to adversity. Now seal the deal

I had told myself before the game that I’d only feel confident if we were up 25 at halftime.

Still shaking.

Mike

The 3pt shot makes no lead safe.

For further reference, see games 2 and 4 of the 2008 finals.

Blown away by the way the Cs came out tonight.

Didn't see this coming at all.

Props to the guys for picking up the pieces after a brain-dead end of G3 & a disappointing G4 effort.

Why won't Rob cover Serge on the pick and roll?  He repeatedly slacks down to cover Lowry and gets burned every time.  No wonder Brad pulls him.

I'm really impressed with our team rebounding.  Very few offensive rebounds for Raps.  We are gang rebounding. Winning the 50/50 balls on the boards.

KEEP IT UP!!!

I bet he can be in reasonable shape come finals, don't really expect to see him earlier.

If we win the 3rd quarter, this one's over.

If your Nick Nurse, do you make adjustments now, down 27, and risk giving Stevens a glimpse of your strategy plus probably still lose the game, or do you wait for game 6?
I think you try to win every game, too late for strategizing like that

Yeah, not with him scheduled to leave sometime between now and the finals for his wife giving birth too, and going through another quarantine.

Good to see Jaylen taking it to the cup tonight.  Where was that guy game 4??

23 year old Brown, yes only 23, looks like 28 year old Pierce so far tonight! This is no ordinary young Celtics team....Oh, Tatum is 22...think about that...

I mean lets be real. If they can't hold this lead and end up blowing it + losing, then they 1000% deserve to lose this series. Championship teams need to keep the momentum and pull away in these games. C's need to do that here. Don't let Toronto back in it

Rob seems to have the bad habit of being stuck in no man's land on those pick and rolls. He doesn't contain the roll, but he also doesn't contest the ball handler either.

Brad Wannamaker was excellent.

Jaylen found his mojo.

Kemba was Kemba.

Third foul on Tatum bad time. He was starting to feel it.

Theis 3rd foul was clearly not on him and why didn't Brad challenge it?

That was a foul on Tatum.  An inadvertent trip is still a trip. 

The foul wasn't his fault - Theis set him up with a terrible pass that he had to dive for - but it was still a foul.
