Why is Ime wearing a mask ? No one within 20 feet.

Good coaching on the defensive end, though.

[kraidstar]

Still ecstatic for the win but I have to say, White HAS to be better going forward in this series

Not asking for superstar performances but he nearly cost us the game with his bad 4th in particular

In his defense, this is only his 11th playoff game, and the first playoff game where there were real expectations.

The whole team looks nervous today. And the long layoff didn't help. i expect they will get better as the playoffs go on.

That was an incredible game wow crazy 4th quarter. ...

Very concerning lots of players taking elbows to the face not just in this series but others as well, refs gotta call these man.

The Brown/Kyrie incident on the in-bound pass was absolutely correct as a no call.  Jaylen initiated the contact with his aggressive defense.  Offensive players have a right to their space. 

[BringToughnessBack]

What did Al eat for lunch? 15 Boards, 20 points is insane and four players over 20! Team effort.

Smart made such an intelligent play there, not shooting and finding Tatum.

Yup. He's come a very long way as a passer (and decision-maker). Made a few unforced errors early on, but he played fantastically well. Would have played even better if he didn't get a soft 4th foul

Gotta give credit to JB too for making that pass to Marcus. Old Jaylen would have tried to score on that possession specially with time running out. What a great last play, just a testament to how far these guys have learned to trust one another!

Got to give props to Smart, too. Excellent decision to not take the three there and find Tatum with the great pass.

Because he wants to...?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Good to see you Lep, it's beer o'clock!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

good to be back. been awhile. it is past time to get past the ECF. we shoulda beaten the cavs last ECF we played them when we blew the series lead. then the covid year was nuts. it is past time we get to the final.

Who is this guy

[angryguy77]

This was their best shot and they blew it. I counted 10 missed bunnies. Reiterating my prediction of Celtics in 5. I hope in their film review they realize that 1-2 of their plays + most transition opportunities are essentially unguardable.

The bad thing is that the Robert Williams loss is very apparent in this matchup as they can’t rely on that safety net and have to sag off Kyrie. If he can keep shooting at over 50% from 3 it will keep the games close like this.... but seriously if Kyrie is their best defender God help them.

They needed kyrie to hit shots out of his butt just to get then back in the game. That was with us missing a lot now good looks.

They had several lucky bounces too.

If Boston wasn't for real, they don't climb out of that 5 pt deficit late in 4th imo.

[Ed Monix]

I think the biggest advantage Boston has is that Kyrie isn’t in playoff shape. He has only played 29 games all season, with huge gaping breaks in-between games. He will be exhausted after 4 games.

Must be the Bruce Brown effect.

[Goldstar88]

How great was it that Tatum scored on Kyrie to end the game. THE perfect ending.
