the celtics have to win for that to happen. it would not surprise me if they lost in 7.

I think they’ll take care of business tonight.

Bucks had the opportunity to win yesterday on a relatively off night from the Heat. Eric Bledsoe is such trash. Anyhow the Heat are a damn good team and will be a tough out if the Celtics can finish the job against the Raptors. Would feel more comfortable if Hayward were available.

What’s the word on Hayward up there?

Not a lot. He’s back in the bubble but as far as I’m aware he is still quarantining. I don’t know if they will wait until the WCF’s are set before ECF’s start but we are approaching the time table when he is supposed to be back.

At this point I don’t think many people are optimistic about Hayward being available to start a potential Heat series. Maybe later on in the series or not at all. He’d be available for the Finals if we made it, I’m sure.

9/16 is 4 weeks for Hayward.......so he will prob be ready to go anywhere from games 1-4

I think the C's close out the series tonight......I think they're still pissed about games 3 and 4....this should have been a sweep

I think so as well however my one gripe with this team is that random games they just get away from their identity and defensive tenacity that they should consistently have.

Ball movement tonight, aggressive D will lead to easy buckets. Do that and the game is ours.

If Smart is hitting corner 3s like that all game, this will be another blowout.

Where the hell is Kemba Walker? Tatum is getting doubled whenever he touches the ball. Walker should have all the room he needs to operate and he’s being way too passive. Is his knee still bothering him?

This game is infuriating me.

 

[captain insano]

overrated.

 

[captain insano]

typical Celtics. awful possessions when it matters the most. Tatum forcing it playing hero ball.

 

[ViperGTS]

lol. of course it was

 

[ViperGTS]

lol and the NBA isn't corrupt...lol.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Going to OT.

Kemba: 1/9, 3 points and 3 assists in 42 minutes

That was one ugly last minute. They have had so many chances to put away this series. Hope they can finally do it here.

 

[captain insano]

Tatum puking all over himself.

Yeah but there was a great article out by Haberstroh today that dove into the defensive 3 second and how it has disappeared and the Raptors take full advantage of it.

he needs to give up the damn ball when he's being smothered.

 

[ViperGTS]

im not buying it. he needs to give up the damn ball when he's being smothered.

Oh I agree. But did you see the shady Tomlin-esque bleep Nurse pulled on that Tatum out of bound pass to Theis? Plus they sit in the paint and it clogs the lane that would be open if they were calling the 3 second.

 

[captain insano]

jaylen brown still cant handle the ball.

 

[captain insano]

Tatum again

 

[ViperGTS]

It was a nice run. You cannot penetrate when they sit in the paint for 8 seconds. Thats why you are seeing what you are seeing.
