How important is the game tonight, if we lose are we DONE?

[bigtyc55]

personally I don't like the term "must win" unless it is truly an elimination game, so let's just say this is as close to a must win game as you can get

but this team has come up time and again with big wins when needed so who knows what happens if we're down 3-2 going back to LA, you never know, never say never with KG and the Truth.

It's a big game, but I don't think it will be over til it's over.  I think the boys know what they have to do, and they will execute.  As Billy Joel says, "I'm Keeping the Faith". 

[cornbreadsmart]

Yeah, if we lose we are done. But if we win the next game we are right back in it.  Come on, man. Every game is it's own thing.

[PosImpos]

Pretty much, yeah.  We were in trouble as soon as we choked up home court advantage though.

Well, every game is important, and no we aren't done if we lose this game.

The Boston Celtics have overcome too much adversity to get to this point to be done in any circumstance.

Look at what we've accomplished over the last 5 weeks.

The Boston Celtics are not done until they are defeated in a Seven Game series.

100% done if we do not win tonight. Say what you want, but you're fooling yourself if you don't admit that. In fact, we are 100% done if we lose either game here left in Boston. Put that in stone.

[Redz]

It would be a momumental task coming back from down 3-1, especially with the final 2 on their court.

Tonight is a must win.

Wow. First time for everything, huh?

I can certainly agree that it will be a Huge uphill climb, but I bet that's what MIA was thinking back in 2006, huh?

Dallas hasn't been the same, since.

Neither has my faith in NBA officiating...

The Lakers aren't the Dallas Mavericks. As much as I hate them, they are an extremely big tough team with the best player in the series on their side. You lose another game and give them 3 games to close it out with 2 on their floor it isn't going to happen.

That being said, I think we win both these games and have a solid shot at beating them in game 6 on their floor.

[slamtheking]

we're not done if we lose tonight, but pretty [dang] close.  this team has shown the ability to win 3 straight in each series so far and has done so against the top teams.  the scary part though is that they have yet to put together a really solid game from everyone.  I'm in the camp of I'll believe it when I see it rather than believing that situation is inevitable after having sat through this team's struggles this season.
