I'm excited and so nervous. I think the C's got this but a loss would just be so hard and as we all know, anything can happen.

Let's go!

I am excited for this. Fun matchup.

Very special to have our guys back in the Finals.  Enjoy the ride!

Let’s Gooooooo!

Sam Hauser....I am going to need at least 3 or 4 3's from you tonight.

That would be awssome

No matter what happens tonight, no one here will have a worse night than the guy sitting next to me at La Guardia, who had tickets for the game tonight and was on my 6pm flight, which was just cancelled.

Not the best idea in the world to book a 6pm, landing at 7:30, out of La Guardia, but I feel for the guy.

tired of hearing the "Mavs have best player in the series" narrative. Luka is great. but its not like there is this humungous gap if there is any between Tatum/luka.

also, we are talking on one side of the ball.

saw SAS blabbering..so i put TV on MUTE

T minus 20 minutes and counting

Okay, can we all at least promise to not do the "sky is falling", overly drastic and pessimistic posts with predictions that we're certainly losing this series once we reach the first bit of adversity in this game?

I know, longshot. But you'd think we would've learned to stop this by now.

we will hear how its an unserious team, how they are garbage, fire joe! trade tatum!

[Neurotic Guy]

Celtics will lose games in this series.  May lose tonight. I’m going  to feel very bad when it happens. I’m also going to stay as positive as i can through the rough stretches and the losses.  Hope there aren’t any, but realistically, there will be.

[jpotter33]

Woooooaahhhh, KP off the bench? That was certainly unexpected.

Don't like that. Wonder if that's a way to limit his minutes and a recognition that he's not 100%, or at least up to his conditioning? Hopefully we're not just trying to get too cute with the rotations now.

I’ve spent ten years on a site dedicated to following grown men who try to throw a ball in a basket. I reserve the right to be irrational.

my guess, conditioning. i mean it has to be tough to start in the finals after not playing for a month.
