Tied 2-2, Do You Believe?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Does anyone miss Dennis someone that could maybe get in the Paint with serious speed. dont think he makes a difference though. I just dont love our bench. after white

I just want a point guard that is ball strong and takes care of the basketball. The three main ball handlers are turnover machines.

we need a big scoring PF or center also who can post up and take over a game

I miss Richardson more. Someone who could just come off the bench and score in bunches if needed.

Richardson was empty calories.

Said it before the series started and I'll say it again....Boston in 6!

[CelticSooner]

Can someone make another Tatum callout thread? lol I really have no faith that he’s going to show up in the scoring department to offset GS enough to win this series. This is a great matchup for him as well

I begrudgingly picked the Warriors in 6 because I figured we would have night like tonight. Still hoped for the best before every gsme though. Can't keep playing with fire and not expect it to burn you.

The worrisome thing going forward is while they are still young, they just have been unable to not play like hot garbage after a win. They have had a ton of deep playoff experience to know better.

Very frustrated but yes, i believe. Need to relax and stop beating ourselves and we'll be fine.

Don't think those exist anymore these days, other than Embiid. Not unless they can defend on the perimeter as well.

Skills are there, just the mindset isn't. Still, plenty of time ahead this young team.

I thought the Cs would have to go 3-1 to win in 6.  Dubs in 6 now.

So Warriors winning 3 straight like 2015 eh

[ozgod]

Definitely still believe. I think we steal Game 5 and close it out Game 6. that's what I thought before the series. What I got wrong was I expected it to be 2-2 but both teams winning both home games.

[SparzWizard]

When has the last time the Curry/Klay/Green Warriors played a Game 7 in the playoffs? I feel like they've never played any Game 7s other than the 2016 Finals. They've usually swept/cruised by their playoff path.

Idk, if this goes 7 games this could go either way.

[Drucci]

I have a hard time seeing the team win another one in Golden State and thus think their record of bouncing back after each loss will end in game 5 unfortunately. With that said, I thought we were doomed after the collapses in G5 against Milwaukee and in G6 against Miami so…

What makes this loss really tough to swallow though is that the last 5 minutes were very reminiscent of the end of G7 against Cleveland in 2018 where the guys were visibly scared to take threes and couldn’t make any.

If steph curry is going to play like he did last night, this series is already over.

[Rosco917]

This team often reverts to the Celtics of the early part of the season. Ball movement stops, the one on one begins and shooting percentage plunges. It's who they are, it's that youth thing where they read their own personal headlines and react. It's fine if you really are who the media says you are, (ie Curry), but obviously some on the Celtics are not yet there.

You can feel the teams confusion taking place... are they an actual basketball TEAM or a Star-driven group? The Celtics need to realize shooting percentage is important and waisted opportunities on the offensive end will come back and bit you.
