Next game is Game 7 for BOTH teams

[heitingas]

Miami Heat's season is on the line, they will be playing desperate to win BUT at the same time it's the Celtics only real chance of eliminating them.

This is our game 7 and WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WIN GAME 7 IN MIAMI...

If we lost next game I think Miami will go to the Finals, it's an opportunity for this group of Celtics to be immortalized, especially if they ended up winning another Championship.

Let's get the next game, get some rest then be ready for the Thunder/Spurs.

 These celtics basically have been in a must win situation the LAST 3 GAMES! We all said that after going down 2-0. We said every game for the C's is a MUST WIN going forward!Yes, it is asking alot to have to win 4 straight but we are on the cusp of doing just that. We knew we had to win game 5 because we do not want to have to win a game 7 there. Yes, game 6 is a MUST WIN for the celtics. Miami is on life support and we are about to pull the plug.

I have a bit of a lucky streak going so I need to write some things to see it it keeps working.  Before game 4, I wrote that I had a feeling Dooling might hit some 3's and tip the scales.  Before game 5 I said maybe it will be Pietrus this time.  Now I am going to say it is Bass' turn.  He is due for a big (by his standards) game where he is the guy they leave open and he hits some big shots along with otherwise playing solid.  I will hedge this some by saying I liked how Steisma looked in gm 5.  If Steisma can get even 8 points, that counts as a big game for him and could make the difference in a close game.

The 4th win is always the hardest.  We will need no less than solid games from all of the main guys plus a something unexpected from someone.  Come on Brandon, it is your turn!

Nobody really played well other than The Big Ticket. That ain't happening again in the garden on thursday. Rondo and PP will show up for the whole game. Allen will show up. Of course our ironman KG will continue to be $$$$ and Bass will show up. Maybe Dooling as well. I think Bass and KG could do some damage in the paint together.

C's can't shoot much worse then they did in Game 5.  Pierce, Allen and Rondo combined for something like 25% shooting from the field.  THEY WILL BE BETTER IN GAME 6, and yes I agree that Bass will have a big game too.

Let's go back to Miami...in November.

Its funny. I said last nights game was the biggest game of the season for us. Which is really probably was. Game 5 in Miami, we loose that game theres no way we come back to win at home and win game 7 in Miami... Does game six now take place over the biggest game of the season title?

Yes of ocurse.  Every game is bigger than the previous one at this stage of the playoffs.

Every game gets bigger, the farther you go in the tournament.
