After sleeping on it, I still feel iffy about our chances in Game 7

But you know what, I'll ride with this team until the end. They've shown they are a resilient group and every time they have their backs to the wall, they respond. So I'm still going to go with them.

Admittedly I can't say I'm as confident as I was going into Game 6, but tbh I also felt that way about us going into Game 3. Maybe this team simply performs better on the road than at home. They're now 3-4 in their last 7 home playoff games. But the C's also haven't lost two in a row in a very long time which gives me some hope. I have to imagine Ime drilled into the guys after yesterday's game and hopefully guys like Jaylen, Horford, Smart, Tatum take it to heart and respond tomorrow night.

So back to doom and gloom eh? Trade everyone? Celtics suck all that nonsense? All right guys give up and go home. I'll go and root for them.  ;D

TP. Where do these negative Nancy “creatures” come from? I live in MA surrounded by Celtics fans, and I don’t hear nearly as much negativity. Is this site tailored to frustrated dudes living in their mom’s basement?

The Heat shot well last night. The Celtics will make changes and come back for more. Let’s go Celtics!

where did someone say they are giving up? all i see is posters calling a spade a spade. you think we have been good at home?

you think being forced to win all these road games is sustainable for the future?

who said they were not still rooting?

you need to stop generalizing and putting words in peoples mouths.

posters are justifiably correct in their current critique of this team and its performances.

This team has demonstrated its resilience time and time again. I believe that they have what it takes to win a third consecutive game in Miami.

The Heat played a great, gutsy game, the refs were terrible, and our composure was shaky. Miami responded to every run with one of their own to score 111. In the games that they’ve won, they scored 109+ with one player putting up 30+ and role players contributing.

We have to control the pace and defend at an elite level to limit Miami to sub-100. This team is elite after losses, on the road, Butler hasn’t had consecutive big performances, and the Heat are a roller coaster. I like our chances.

These are the celtics. We expect banners and are not just happy to be in the ECF. Maybe you're surrounded by some bandwagoners, Go root for another team if participation trophies satisfy the both of you.

No kidding. I expect them to win. Doesn’t mean I need to throw a temper tantrum when they don’t. They’re in a Game 7. Great spot to be in. Instead I read whining. Let’s go Celtics!

On the road in game 7 isn't a "great place to be in." The Bucks would like a word.
Still don't believe in Joe.

Aren’t they favored by Vegas? I guess that doesn’t fit your narrative. The Celtics are favored on the road in Game 7. I’m happy with this. Take a breath and enjoy a beautiful day. The Celtics are going to come out strong tomorrow.

Angry guy, does this mean that the national betting consensus thinks more highly of the Celtics than you do?

Really hope this team actually plays like they want it. It'd be one thing if they start well, play hard but Miami's also playing well and it's close. But I swear to god if the C's come out flat again and look extremely mediocre, then that'll be really demoralizing and also make me kinda mad.

Literally a 3-2 lead, a chance to get to the Finals and sort of avenge 2012 against Miami and also our own run in 2018 which ended on a Game 7, and you come out not looking like you want to play after having dropped Game 6 at home?

Just go out there and play like you want it. Simple. I expect the refs to let them play tonight, not like how it was in Game 6

We are like 40-4 when leading a series 3-2. Plz don't make that 40-5.
