I'm really proud of this team.  Great shorthanded win.

First playoff win in the Brad Stevens era.

We got a series here folks!

What a relief.  Gut another out on Sunday and back to Atlanta.

Ok.   Thomas earned his all star badge tonight.  Dude is legit.  Keep it up.

He literally carried us. Unbelievable game

If Dion Waiters was on this team, he'd be one of the only guys can create a shot. But what comes with it, isn't worth it. Turner is better than Waiters, but the same problems apply.
Well yeah.  Marcus smart can create a shot too, but he shoots 30%.  Turner is pretty decent at it.  He's been big tonight.
Well, I don't know. Either way the Celtics will win.

IT put the team on his back.  That's what All Star's do.

I was wrong about IT! He was beyond amazing tonight in Boston and is definetely a player who can take team on his shoulders in a high pressure game.

I am a Marketing person and I love IT!

Lets tie it up next game!!

Finally! Our first playoff win since Game 5 of 2013 vs the New York Knicks.

And first playoff win for Brad Stevens!

Huge performance by Isaiah. Good performances by Turner, Smart, Amir and Jerebko.  It was enough.  We need Crowder to step up and Smart even moreso I feel.

Millsap and Horford held to 16 points.

For sure.  Huge load to carry on a 5' 9'' frame, especially when you consider that Jared Sullinger is on this team.

What bothers me most about this series is how well Amir, Crowder, and Smart on switches, have handled Millsap. He's been a terror on defense, but they've defended him well. Perimeter defense continues to be a problem though. I wonder if AB can come back.

Great win.  Can't say enough about IT.  Props also to Stevens for the adjustments he made.

Go get another.

The IT/Turner/Smart/Jerebko (and whoever) combo works v nicely at both ends..
