i agree but you and I know law of averages will catch you sooner or later if you keep starting like that.

Oh no, just realized I have a business roundtable dinner on Thursday. No sweatshirt, no posting,, no watching live game....

Also a shout out to Rozier, who pulled down 8 rebounds in 15 minutes.  He's been a pleasant surprise in the playoffs after a lot of disappointing stretches in the regular season.  I'm still very high on him.

I only saw the last 2 quarters, but SMART was huge. AB was tremendous. AL was ALL I'VE EVER WANTED FROM HIM. IT was fantastic.

We played Celtic Basketball for a bit in that game. =D

Game 2 will be fun with Game one rattling around between John Wall's ears. We have the personnel to mitigate him. No 40 point games for Wall and we'll sweep this series.

[TA9]

Couldn't help laughing at this. On a serious note, I love what IT has been doing for us and even after all he has been through. A little guy with a big heart.

Red says "TPs for all!!!"

Great win. That second half had a lot of good Celtic basketball.

Yep! OUr D got much better later in the game.

And we scored 123 points in the last 42.5 minutes of the game

Crazy!!! if the Wiz don't play some better defense they will be in big trouble.

Great win, huge boost of confidence after being down 16-0 and getting such a comeback. Now it's clear we must replace Green by Smart in the starting 5 and can count on Jaylen Brown with the 2nd unit.

I don't know...we are now 5-0 since inserting Green in the starting 5..although it didn't look good at all with that early deficit id like to go with feng sui on this one...keep starting Green and just take him out after a minute if he plays bad.

one possession at a time. one quarter at a time.   one game at a time. that is 5 straight wins.

let's win the next....if we can do that all we need is a split in DC then we have a shot to close out at home in 5.  I am not predicting that...just saying

Proud of the team, Al Horford came up huge and deserves our appreciation, I know alot of us, me included have pointed out his contract and his disappointing regular season numbers but there is no denying, he's come up huge in the playoffs, and I'm happy for him.

I was dreading coming on the forums and seeing a thread titled "Where are you Horford haters now?"

There is no need for that, let's all focus on the positives, we rose to the challenge and came back from a big hole, hats off to the guys.

It was a really complete performance.

If Morris is out for an extended period this ends in 6
