It's pretty amazing to think that with Smart and Al out in game 1 and White out in game 2, we haven't even been at full strength yet this series.

The entire playoff run really...

Also I feel like we're due for a monster Tatum game somewhere this series too. Each series has had one thus far (Game 3 vs Brooklyn, Game 6 vs Milwaukee). I really don't think Miami has an answer for him and at some point, he'll torch them. Butler can't guard all of the C's guards

Deuce!

boston -6  for game 3 as far as point spread

moneyline is -266 celtics

i have golden state tonight moneyline -260 it has now dropped to -240

experts are saying take C's -6 tomm

i will play it safe and take moneyline so as long as we win by 1 i win 

and no i normally DO NOT bet NBA. i am a NHL and MLB guy. sometimes college football.

I avoid NFL like the plague. hardest sport to win at for many many reasons

miami has a HUGE problem. we beat 2 juggernauts in KD/cryrie and giannis plus the bucks were huge with lopez and portis inside. we adjusted. miami has nothing to stop us inside like the bucks did.

and as long as we stay balanced after they crash paint and we have wide open threes and we hit they are toast. also we are getting great contributions from everybody in some way, shape or form. we do not have to rely on any one person. most everybody is scoring. off the bench as well. i want us to hold butler to under 20 next game. and keep herro handcuffed also. BAM only had 6 points last game. let's hold miami to well under 100 next game.

Not just this series but the whole playoffs.  We have only had our entire starting line up (Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, RWill) on the court for 4 of 13 games, 38 minutes out of 624 total minutes.  And for about 3 of those 4 games, RWill was not close to full strength.

We now have 2 home games coming up where we are expected to be full strength.  We can't let this be like the MIL series were we squander any games we should win.  We need to approach these games like they are elimination games, like they are must win games.  MIA can't be feeling good right now.  We just smoked them in their house and we were not even quite full strength.  We need to keep the pressure on them.  If they win even one, they are going to feel like they are right back in this.  And then they may get Lowry back which may give them more confidence.

Yeah. Don't let this be like another 2010 Celtics/Cavs series. Remember we went into Cleveland in Game 2 and smoked them. Then the Cavs came to the Garden and destroyed us in Game 3. I was shaking, thought it may have been a momentum-swinger.

Had to clean them up for three straight games after, gladly.

Can the Celtics sign Duece right now.

This seems like a statement game. Maybe Pat Beverley will shut his mouth.

Nah, not a chance.

PatBev has got to be one of the biggest idiots to ever play in the NBA, and that’s saying something.  Dirtier than Pigpen from Peanuts, too.

ESPN:

Tatum got his second foul with 4:14 left in the first, after charging into Butler. The entirety of the 17-0 run came with him on the bench.

Trade Tatum!

Dude’s a slacker and has no drive.  I see him on the chopping block as soon as the playoffs are done.

What's awesome is that whenever this happens with Tatum (foul trouble forces him to sit), the C's have actually responded well and they don't panic. Happened Game 4 vs Brooklyn when Tatum had to sit a good chunk of the 4th and they did well, same in Game 6 of the Bucks series where they held their ground, and then yesterday the C's go on a run when Tatum sits. This is a deep team. Nice to finally have a quality bench with solid depth!

Would be nice if the refs didn't call cheap touch fouls early on him.

PAYTON PLUS 41  SETS RECORD

KID IS A BEAST

He plays his ass off and he's got some nice chemistry going with Tatum.

Nice pocket pass to Grant in the post

Did pritchard really say herro was too small to guard him?? Lol i saw several tweets

If true probably not something you need to do. Just be humble and do your job, your performance will speak for itself.

I'm assuming it was a retaliation given the amount of smack Herro talks.

I love it. PP outplayed Herro, walked the walk

Yeah seriously? I LOVED seeing that from Pritchard. Did people not see how Bam and Herro acted in the postgame presser after Game 1 with their antics/clothing? But let me guess, that's all "fun" because it's not the Celtics doing it 

If C's players did that same thing the local media and some on here would rip them lol
