Looking forward to Wednesday's game.

Things were looking very grim but that was an awesome 4th by the C's.

Goes to show just how resilient this team is even when dealing with so much adversity (bad referees, no Timelord, Tatum struggling, foul trouble on Jaylen + G-Will, etc.)

Horford and Tatum treated it like a Game 7 which is honestly was (couldn't afford to go down 3-1)

Only one day to recover and Wednesday is game five!

I'm actually fine with this. We always seem to suck when we have too much rest. Night game and one day off is the recipe for a Cs win!

Celtics win 8 on 5. 

If you overcome the Bucks or the 76ers you should get an additional award if you win the championship.  A trophy or award that signifies that you overcame biased NBA officiating.

I mean, technically it's Giannis and Embiid rather than the Bucks or 76ers. Don't feel like the rest of either team receive a unreasonably favorable whistle, only their stars.

Hope Rob will be ready to play.

I love the fact that JB pointed at and spoke harshly to Giannis and then Giannis who gets away with so much puts his arm on JB and JB pushes it off. Way not to back down to the attempted bully!

Smart and Horford, tag team champions tonight!

For all you White guys out there, per Kirk Goldberry:

“Derrick White held the Bucks to 0-for-12 shooting as primary defender tonight.”

He's always been an excellent defender. When Giannis backed up to get a running start, he got right up to his strong hand.

How many seconds is Lopez allowed to be in the paint?

Van Gundy was all over those early 1st quarter fouls on us and throughout the game for that matter.

Not easy to win 5-on-8, but the C's nearly did it twice in the past three days

Loving the resilience of this team. Beautiful 4th quarter comeback and close.

The Bucks started going to Lopez (which is a good strategy with Lopez being as big and skilled as he is), but it tells me that Giannis and Holiday are gassed and everyone else is on lockdown.

Giannis has taken 114 shots over these 4 games against our exhausting defense and protecting the rim. He’s a beast, good luck keeping that pace.

[hpantazo]

Best of 3 now with 2 of them in Boston. That home court advantage is looking really worthwhile right about now.

I love the fact that JB pointed at and spoke harshly to Giannis and then Giannis who gets away with so much puts his arm on JB and JB pushes it off. Way not to back down to the attempted bully!

JB was right. He was up in the air. Giannis pulled the same crap with Tatum last game.
