All things must come to an end someday. Losing streaks and unfortunately...winning streaks. Losing streaks as in Dallas will not be losing in the next 48 hours and winning streaks as in Boston's current streak and road streak.

121-99 Dallas. Limited Porzingis will be more of a liability to this C's squad tomorrow night. Kornet will get feasted on by Gafford and Lively. Jayson with another 6-24 FG showing. It is Dallas's must-win game.

Is this just a feeling that the Celtics get crushed? I don't get that sense at all.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Interesting how suddenly the media are saying the Celtics are in trouble with Porzingis? injury but ignored Porzingis? absence all throughout the playoffs and pretended the Celtics were fully healthy and considered them lucky to face injured teams.

Newsflash. We?ve been without Porzingis for practically the entire playoffs and when he did play in games 1&2 he played short minutes off the bench

You knew this was coming. National narrative will be that the mavs still win this series.

It'd be encouraging if we come out and the shots are falling. We haven't actually had a good start in any of the games. Game 1 we pulled ahead on that KP run late in the quarter, but before then we were also bricking open shots and fell behind 5 early (and before the run, it was 15-14 DAL).

Dallas will feel on the ropes if we come out with a fast, strong start.

It serves the lazy analysis that the team with best player always wins the series. If that were true LeBron would have more championships. The 2008 Cs wouldn't have won the title. It's easy/lazy to say the team with the biggest star wins. It will always be the best team and the greatness of an individual star factors into that but it that's a more nuanced analysis that the current hot take media climate can't communicate.

Survive the first quarter.

I feel like Boston might be due for a clunker. I will be very pleasantly surprised if they come out and take this game.

If Dallas can?t win tonight it?s probably going to be a sweep. Everything in there for the mavs to win.

Yeah Boston win the clunker. Thst doesn't mean Irving won't have a big game and Dallas may win, but I feel pretty good Boston's worst shooting game of the series has already happened.

I was thinking more along the lines of a game 2 vs Miami or Cleveland clunker.

we play better on road and we are due big time for shots to fall all game. get ready. win tonight and its curtains down for the mavs. they know it. they will not win 4 straight. mavs have to win tonight or its over. i say we rise to the challenge and take it on knowinmg we will get their best last shot tonight.

dallas has to pick theoir own poison.want us to drive? or shoot over you?

if our 3's hit tonight its over for dallas. we have them figured out and no amount of adjustments can change what we saw last 2 games. attack luka and cryrie and we win. plain and simple. wear him down and see how weak he was on offense in second half last game. low offense and zero defense.

This should be like shooting fish in a barrel once we get him worn down tonight.

DESTROY DONCIC!

unless some role players come up HUUUGE for the mavs they are in a bind.

I will stick with C's in 5. but i would not be shocked if we pull this one out.

if we do go up 3-0 dallas will fold in game 4 like a cheap lawn chair and quit on their homecourt facing insurmountable odds.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

If Tatum's scoring regresses towards the mean, we dominate.

Go Cs!

Celtics are confident but not cocky.  Focused.  Humble. Hungry. 

I think we win regardless of Porzingis' status (I think he will play, but not more than 10-15 minutes).

We win, this series is over, baby. Dallas has more pressure than Celtics to win here. This is the first time their backs are against the walls in these playoffs.

Go Celtics!!!
