SWEEP!  Never give an opponent an opportunity.  Win it when you can!

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
BRING OUT THE BROOM.
THE DUCKBOATS WILL BE WAITING WHEN THEY GET BACK.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Definitely a sweep I?m hoping for. Don?t give them life. This goes back to Boston the announcers will be saying ? the Celtics better take care of business here ..? and they?ll be correct. I don?t want my nerves racked. Go Celts. Same unbelievable d and  more poise. Stop the isos in crunch with the step back 3?s. Let Jaylen lead.

Longer this goes the more pressure is on Boston. They need to end them tonight.

Game 4 is too late for my 7 year-old to watch,  but we are headed to the West Coast next week, meaning she could see all of Game 5.  She?s a huge fan (and is terribly concerned about JD Davison?s roster status next year), knows who all the refs are and which ones to yell at, and it would be fun to share the excitement of a clinching game with her.

So I?m voting game 5 for personal reasons, but a sweep would be fun, and would give us the third-longest winning streak in a single postseason in NBA history.  It?s a win-win.  Let?s just not go 6.  That would be much less fun.

Wake her up a few minutes before clinching?

That is definitely the plan for tomorrow, but it would still be more fun to see the entire game.  As I say, win-win.  I?ve felt very confident that we?d win this series in four or five since the matchup was set, so tomorrow?s game is essentially house money for me emotionally.


Just let her stay up and watch the game?
Problem solved.

It's a Friday night so I'm going to let my 8 year old son watch tonight. I may take heat from the wife but it'll be worth it.

End it tonight.

The 80/20 thing would be really cool. I never thought I?d love a team more than ?07-08 but these guys are doing it for me.

My sister is in a tough spot. She has my tickets to Game 5.

I burned 15 years of goodwill when I made my son go to bed in G1 against Indy when Indy had their inbound pass with 8 seconds left. I don?t dare send him to bed again.

Jalen is stronger than I thought ,  he has pulled away from the Dark force that is Kryie Irving.

I think Jaylen is really feeling it now and wants to hang their banner NOW!

How is this not 100% sweep?!?  We seriously have Celtics fans hoping for a loss tonight? Nothing is guaranteed until you get that final win.  I don?t care if you have tickets to game 5.  There?s no guarantee winning it then either

Perhaps my post was not clear enough. This was a hypothetical presuming that we win either game 4 or game 5, so the concern about winning not being guaranteed shouldn?t be included in the analysis.

So the question is really just do you prefer the sweep and the notoriety and narratives that come with it or the incredible environment that winning the championship at home entails.

Even hypothetical I'd rather sweep!
