Horford should be killing Love every play until they double team.

Jerebko was a +22 tonight. Clearly the difference maker in this game.

He was great at both ends.

A journeyman with Marc Gasol/KG-like contributions that won't show up on the stat sheet when he was called in unexpectedly in the biggest game of his life.

Inspirational.


It wasn't only his 3 pt shooting either. He was our 2nd leading rebounder tonight in short minutes.

Not to mention the smack he talked to everyone on the floor, and the revenge pick he set on Derron Williams that injured him. Don't mess with Jonas!!

Exactly why we needed to play him against the Bulls and Chicago. He fights for the boards at the least.

Now for the sake of my sanity, Brad, will you please start freaking JJ next to Horford next game?! That gives us our best possible chance of controlling their frontcourt.

I'd bet money that he still doesn't start though and goes with old-man Amir once again.

Hopefully Amir's shoulder injury is enough to keep him on the bench for game 4.

he fits well against Cleveland. Hes the only big we have that has a prayer outside against Kevin Love, but can also compete for rebounds.

What a tough gritty back against the wall performance.  JJ, Marcus, Al, KO, Jae everyone made contributions.  So proud of these guys.  Glad after the embarrassment of the first two games we showed some [dang] backbone and found our toughness and team rhythm.  Big game 4 coming up.  Go Celtics!

WHAAAAAAAAA-?

just goes to show it's never as bad as it seems.

Plus the Cavs had like 70 more Free Throws than us too.

Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

21 POINT COMEBACK AGAINST LEBRON IN HIS GYM

WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLLLL

CRAZY PILLS

SURREAL


YEP!! Also, in the ECF, minus our best player.

I think Horford is the best player on the team.

IT was an all-star, all-NBA 2nd team this year. I love Horford, but he didn't even make the all-star team.

Horford has to make up for Thomas' defensive issues. He has to set screens for Thomas. He is a better player overall. Without Horford, Thomas doesn't have the year he had.

Undefeated without IT in the Playoffs. Now, I don't want to overreact, but we're winning the championship.

Overreact much??

It's all good, I love the sarcasm in his post.

Or maybe I'm just supremely confident...








In my prediction of Cavs in 5
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

TFW reggie miller called jae crowder "JR crowder", which I might agree with

nonetheless, that was an amazing team effort win by the celtics.  wasnt expecting that at all

TNT announcers making fun of Brad after he said "Law of averages" at halftime.
