NOT DEAD YET!!!!!

And this is why people need to stop questioning Smart. He left it all on the floor tonight. 22 points/7 rebounds/7 assists/2 steals, and he was a +18. He may make boneheaded decisions at times, but he really is a winning player and I hope he remains a Celtic for his entire career.

Heart and soul of the team. Even the Jays regularly admit that.

Where is the Nature Boy?!?

Let's not forget 1982 guys.
I don't know if this team has it in them to play with effort and intensity two games in a row.

Was that the Andrew Toney series?

Bench player to Celtics killer.

I KNOW WE SUCK AT HOME BUT

I DO NOT SEE US LOSING 3 GAMES AT HOME

THEY SHOULD BE JACKED UP AND READY

UNLESS JOE BLOWS IT

We GOTTA give big kudos to Marcus tonight.  What an excellent balls to the walls leave everything on the court performance.
MVP of our team tonight.

Entirely correct. I actually think Tatum played pretty well despite missing literally everything in the first three, though. As well as can be expected when he’s colder than a very cold thing.

If this team plays defense like this they are unbeatable. Holding the Sixers to 86 points in an elimination game is huge.

Let alone in today's NBA. This is legitimately incredible.

Celtics def was really good in the 1st half, but there is component of 76ers just missing shots too.
I don't really care though, we got to game 7 after almost an epic meltdown by our MVP player for about 44 minutes of the game.
That was so incredible it was almost scripted.

Timelord just brings us to that next level defensively.  We need to start him every playoff game moving forward.

Amazing we won this game with 17 turnovers and a lot of bad plays.  We got fortunate that Melton, Harden and Tucker were cold from 3.

Clearly we have to on Sunday. It'll be interesting to see if we advance what happens.

So, what time is game 7 on Sunday?

Gotta say, the Sixers players looked devastated at the end, like they know the series is over.

But that's the thing - when you add Timelord in there that's an entirely different look. They missed looks because they were being forced without having an open lane to the basket like earlier in the series.

So, what time is game 7 on Sunday?

It depends on the results of tonight and tomorrow's games. It'll either be 3:30, 6:30, or 8pm.
