As Pierce said after the game, "Our fans won't let us relax ... Y'all not gonna let us relax!" ... and it's never been more true. As we've seen recently with the Bruins and the Red Sox, no lead is big enough, and you can't take home-court advantage for granted ... ever!
We can NOT let the Magic get any kind of momentum, and this Game 3 is easily the most important game so far. In order to truly demoralize this Orlando team, we've got to come out strong at home and blow them out. This is a team that can score a lot of points in a hurry, and we've got to keep the defensive pressure on.
If we let up at all and let this third game get away from us, then the negativity seed has been planted, and we've seen the C's have it get the best of them more than once before. This game has got to be played at our best, and I feel it's as much of a "must-win" as any game this year.
No, we won't let you relax, Paul ... we're here to give you guys all the emotion and energy you need, and all we ask is that you keep giving your all, and playing your best at both ends of the floor ... the rest will take care of itself!
Go Celtics!
