Cavaliers (2-0) at Celtics (0-2) Round 1 Game #3 4/23/15

[PhoSita]

Gotta get some hot shooting from deep if we want to take this game -- Crowder, Smart, Bradley, Olynyk, Sullinger -- those shots are going to be there against this Cavs team, and the Celts will have to make them pay in order to build and maintain a lead.

[JBcat]

I'm curious what if any rotation adjustments Stevens will make.

[KeepRondo]

It's payback time for the first two games.

[makaveli]

our mind set has to be like: "we had them in at least one game away, lets take care of buissnes at home to prove it"
no doubt that will happen
go team green!!

I think tonight is the night we steal one.

couple of side notes:
1. it seams Zeller scores all of his points in the first couple of minutes, why do we tend to go away from him
2.  tought a team has to have a captain, it is the case in every sport in here(europe) interesting the celtics have none...

I like the idea of a captains arm band(or in this case just a c on a jersey) being earned not just given out to whoever comes closest to earning it. Guys like PP who have the resume, skill, and mindset/work ethic/attitude that represent what you want in a Celtic should wear the armband, no one else.

Rondo kinda ruined that tho.

Crowder and Smart best represent the toughness hustle etc but neither have been with the team/in the league long enough. Bass would probably be the one cus hes been around a while, you could make the argument for Wallace too, but neither are good enough players to earn the armband.

If Smart becomes an all star I see him being the next C to wear it.

agreed, but, who does all that pre-tipoff stuff the team captains usually do with the refs, somebody does it right?
anyway i found it really wierd, totally on board with not giving it away just because form, it's a huge honor that should be earned, hope smart makes it

It's gametime! Let's go C's!

Shake my head at them making a big deal out of Crowder's comment 

[Who]

Nice to see Celtics being talked about on TNT by Chuck and Shaq.

Shaq and Kenny think Boston wins a game. Barkley doesn't.

[GreenGoggles]

Let's go C's! We can win one at home can't we??
