Win or Lose....

[TheReaLPuba]

....this team has shown the heart and pride that bleeds Celtics green.

[Phantom255x]

Yep, no doubt about it.

This team without Isaiah Thomas taking it to a fully healthy CLE team.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

agreed but we need to stop playing stupid for long stetches over and over and over

same mistakes. that points to coaching and i like CBS

[CelticSooner]

They are just out there playing ball. Has to be eating IT up to not be out there.

To be fair, Irving and James just went OFF. Not much CBS can do.

Missing his best scorer and there's no other true scorer on this team.

Game 3 they won because they all scored well, but tonight, not so much in the 2nd half.

disagree. we gave them layups all night. even if they were on fire we made poor decisions over and over on D and O. sorry it is what it is

[CelticsElite]

I've already come to terms that we had a successful season. If they leave it all on the floor next game, that's enough for me

Was thinking exactly the same thing when Irving was lighting it up doing IT things, especially a lot of those drives to the hoop.

We had no answer.

Hey, we were missing two starters for most of this game and we hung in against 3 all-stars.

Our Cs can hold their heads high!

Proud of 'em!

[Beat LA]

At least we weren't swept .

[RockinRyA]

Some weakess of the Cavs are getting exposed, plus at least Lebron is exerting more effort. The Cavs are taking us seriously, plus we earned respect from around the league.

This is just an icing for a very successful season in my eyes.

Agreed, the first two games were full of giggles and hand over their mouth whispers to each other on the bench and you know what they were saying "....these guys made it to the ECF?! This is going to be a effortless sweep what a joke!!"

The last couple games not so much. Those smiles been wiped off their faces. Lebron doesn't look so rested anymore. Kyrie actually saved his ass if he doesn't go off like he did we probably are sitting 2-2 right now. They are going to feel us coming out of the series you best believe it.

...and they say the east is weak.
Look how easy the Warriors have it on the West!

I agree about Irving. He's by far Cleveland's best clutch scorer, and he was unbelievable tonight. Without him playing that well, I think Boston wins by 10. James ended up heating up in the fourth, but the pressure was largely off of him by then because the Cavs were ahead. I don't think James could have spearheaded that Cavs run in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

[CoachBS#1]

Celtics will win the series, period, GO CELTICS!!!

[the TRUTH]

Celtics will win the series, period, GO CELTICS!!!

I hope you're right - that'd be one of the best non-NBA Finals series wins in franchise history. I think it's an uphill battle to win three straight, but I like our odds a lot more right now than I did after the first two games.
