Bulls (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) PO Game 5 4/26/17

[trickybilly]

14th. It was Me, Mickey and James Young fighting for these final spots. Relieved to get one.

Go Cs.

Murder murder murder. Kill kill kill.

LETS GOO C'S!!!

Get that first playoff win at TD Garden!

this is an absolute must win game for us,

A. it's home court, we must protect home court
B. Bulls will want to end the series at their home court so you bet tonight is going to be a dog fight

we need to be absolutely aggressive

Looks like the word is officially no Rondo, as expected.

Yep.  A loss here would certainly rekindle the chumpish look and feel of the first two games.

Big Playoff game.  I think the C's will bring their A game tonight.

Yeah, just watched him talk to reporters at shootaround, and it sounded like that's what he said. He didn't sound too confident about game 6 either.

Every game is a must-win game. It's the playoffs. This is more of a trap game though, because I'm sure there'll be a tendency to relax after we clawed back from 2 down.

Exactly. Unfortunately, this team seems to let up until their backs are against the wall. I hope I'm wrong!

true i'm just paranoid...i know it seemed like we turned it around in game 3 and 4, which is huge, but i'm just worried because we did drop game 1 and 2 at home...I agree with you guys though, every game is a must win!

That's part of why this team is so infuriating right now. They seem to revert to some sort of pseudo-"entitlement" mode way too often. Every time we string together a bunch of wins, they look like they think they can lay back a bit and let the other team beat themselves.

Lol TP. I don't think there's a better way to characterize this particular Celtics team: "Pseudo-entitlement mode."

thanks for the thread flc. just saw it and just gave out a few tps for you and early posters.... of which i am not one. 

CBS will continue to outcoach chicago and lopez will either learn to play the high pick and roll or spend time on the bench.

but again, the celtics need 1 or more players to make outside shots and open up everything for IT.

goooooooooooooooooo celtics!!!!!!!

I feel this way too......they just don't play well after they accomplish something good....they sit back and relax ....instead of pedal to metal.
