Appreciate this Celtics team. They are really, really good.

When focused & healthy, no one is beating this team this season.

I?m going with an ambien

I decided to go with a beta blocker to bring my blood pressure down

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see us lose to the Jazz on Monday because they won't be focused  because the one they want is the one on Wednesday against OKC. And even if we lose a game I would still back us to win a 7 game series against anyone in the league

Felt like most of the Western Conference fanbases were cheering for Boston tonight as they got sick of hearing the LeBron/Luka lovefest esp on ESPN

Hopefully Golden State, Denver, Minnesota, etc were watching and learned. ATTACK LUKA on defense. Seriously, don?t make it easy on him. That?s the strategy.

Yahoo headline: ?Lebron leaves with injury as Tatum, Celtics cool off Lakers?. Unbelievable.

Past teams get too preoccupied on LeBron or the other three guys on the floor. The more energy Luka has, the more focused he is and he'll torch you. Take him out first and mess their rhythm. Hound him like dogs. Then attack Luka on offense. Take out Austin Reaves while they're at it.

lol @ this Fakers team. There is no way on God?s green earth that this roster makes it through 3 rounds of playoffs in the west and gets to the finals. Zero chance. They aren?t that good. Not a threat at all. In fact, there?s a high chance they lose in the first round epically the they face the warriors. I?ll take gs in that series. Barkley is so right & fools like nick wright are so wrong. I don?t worry about this team for a second.

Hah. I have high BP and I checked  during the game. It was pretty high.  Back to normal five minutes after the game.  I?ve never done that before but am in the midst of having to journal my BP so I did. Not surprising but interesting to see the actual rise under the stress of game watching.

They were missing 2 starters and LeBron in the 4th? Seems a bit extreme?Luka carried a worse mavs team to the finals, anything can happen.
That said the lakers are irrelevant to me, we have a tough road to get through in the east before any team in the west is relevant.

I do not see this Lakers team surviving the west with two guys that carry them being subject to injury in Luka and LeBron. They aren't going to get out of the west.

This is my feeling also. Once the playoffs get here and they get locked in they will be the team we expect. I think the Cs are stealing days of rest for KP with this "sickness" because they goal is to have him in the playoffs.

I don't like the blown big leads but other than Cleveland, they respond and get the win.

I watched the game this morning and avoided spoilers somehow. What a great game. We can beat anyone when healthy.
