Agree ... every game from this point on should be played like a Game 7. Both Rondo and Delonte are listed as "Questionable", which pretty much means it will be a game-time decision. I believe Rajon will play at least some minutes, but we could be seeing a lot more of Arroyo tonight.

Every game is a game 7 from here on in. As Dallas as clearly demonstrated to the Lakers. Any team left in this field is capable of imposing it's will over another and build their momentum off that win.

The Celtics have developed a nice blueprint to beat Miami that everyone saw on Saturday night (Attack Bosh down low, clamp on on of Wade or Lebron, and keep the role players in check).

The beatings will continue until morale improves

I prefer Van Wafer instead if Arroyo. Wafer can play some good D

If both Rage and De are out, we'll be seeing plenty of Arroyo and Wafer ... Wafer can play some good defense, but Arroyo actually has a better rebounding, assist, and scoring average. I'm hoping we won't need to rely on either one too much.

Carlos Arroyo was the starting point guard for the Heat THIS year. Now we are debating whether or not he is #3 on our PG depth chart.

Just shows you how much deeper we are than the Heat. It should be a massive advantage for us.

yes but Chalmers has been terrific for the Heat off the bench.  If Arroyo plays, hopefully he actually plays some decent defense, takes care of the ball on offense and can keep the Heat honest with any outside shots he needs to take.

I'm pretty sure after some of the actions from the Heat players in the last game, and some of the post game comments from them will have this team ready to go.

I think the Laker loss yesterday should motivate the Celtics even more...but you never know.

But I agree I want to see major intensity, focus, and execution from our boys in Green tonight.

Yeah I think (and hope) that the Heat have woken up a sleeping dog. I thought earlier in the series they were playing really tough basketball and went out of their way to praise the Celtics after the game for how great they were in the loss.

Game 3 they reverted to their true colors. I think the Miami Heat's impersonation of the Celtics has ended. Ill take the mentally weak team I have come to know and love this season now please!

If they lose this, they probably lose in 5. If they win this, series probably goes 7. So yes its a pivotal game.

I think Rondo will play tonight, and his presence should provide a big boost mentally to this squad..

seeing him out there with a dislocated elbow should give everyone that "extra push"..and hopefully get into the heads of the Heat...you could tell they were shocked when he returned...

hopefully we keep giving it to KG being agressive in the post..if we win tonight, it puts serious doubt in the Heats heads...

Hey at least Arroyo knows the Heat playbook.
