seems we will be if we drop tonights game, with the celtics co-owner getting into it with Stern over officiating im all that more worried.

the lakers know the importance of going up 3-1 and i hope we do too  >:(

It would be very VERY difficult to win three straight (including 2 in LA.)

Tonight is a must win.

Never say never and all of that, but if we're down 3-1, with Games 6 and 7 in LA, yeah, I'd say we're pretty much done.

I absolutely think the team understands the importance of tonight, and I think they'll come up big.

I will never count this team out until the buzzer sounds in an elimination game and they havent scored as many points as the other team. I like their chances against any odds.

Time and time again this team has responded with a huge game when they needed it most.

I have a hard time ever counting them out but I'm hoping tonight is one of those times where they respond with a vengeance.

While the 2004 Red Sox taught me tons about what is and is not possible, I will say that yes, tonight's game is important.

Celts have not lost a playoff game my son and I have attended this year. Let's keep that record intact tonight.

If Lakers take another game in Boston, it's pretty much over. I just don't see C's winning two in a row in Fakers land.

If the C's lost tonight, I'd put the Celtics chances of coming back and winning the series somewhere south of 5% ... so yeah, this is pretty much a "must win" game.

Yeah pretty much. Gotta win tonight!

Although I'll still be rooting until the final horn sounds no matter what!

Go Celtics!!!

Probably although but part of me thinks no. Heaven knows this team bizarrely loves being the underdog and proving everyone wrong. So much so I'm beginning to wonder whether they're actively working to give themselves tougher odds.

I'm confident we'll win tonight though. We like to live on the edge but usually do just enough to stop ourselves from falling into an inescapable hole.

This is a must win game.
I expect the Celtics to respond like their backs are against the wall, because they are.

I am nervous as hell, but I also believe in this team, They have shown a will to win.
