I really hope the Celtics come out and give the type of effort they gave in Games 3 & 4.  They fought amazingly hard to bring this thing back to Boston.  They saved some serious face after two ridiculous spankings on the parquet.  This team has its limitations for sure, and when those limitations are exposed it is not a pretty thing.  But when things are clicking they're an awful lot of fun to watch and root for.  They've given us a heck of a season. 

Just play your best in front of your fans tomorrow.  That's all I ask.

I'm confident they will do just that.

GO CELTS!
Yup

What's great is that they should get a nice ovation and cheer from the crowd if they do happen to lose.

Those efforts were the kind of displays that make me so proud to be a Celtic fan. The heart on display of our collective players is nothing short of astounding, and I have no doubt that they are going to bring it in Boston.

If they play actual team basketball, anything is possible with the way this team is constructed. Even if we get blown out, as long as they go down swinging there isn't much we can complain about.

It has been a great season, and fighting like junk yard dogs one last time in front of the garden will just be the icing on the cake.

Go Celtics!

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
I mean honestly, HONESTLY, could you have predicted a better season by any measure? We didn't get swept. We made it to the EASTERN FREAKING CONFERENCE FINALS! We got the 1st round pick, Thomas became a star, and we didn't give up when Thomas went down... Sure, we could've just gone down willingly, but.. We didn't.

agreed. if we go down in game 5 it will be swinging for the fences. we won't be looking at a 3rd strike called.

As Celtics fans, we really need to calm down the excitement of making it to the ECF. Heck, we've done it 34 times.


That's like, every other year.

Win or lose, I want to hear the TD Garden rocking "Let's go Celtics!!" chant at the closing minutes of the 4th quarter.

I really hope this is a game where they can't miss. They are due for one of those games. I know they'll play hard and fight. Just have to make baskets and not get behind.

In Celtics history this team won't go down as one of the greats. It is also certain that it won't look much like the one that takes the court next season. I hope fans remember how well this team did against the odds and how important they have been to building the Celtics back up to where they belong (almost there now). They have also been amazing to watch.

They have to play smart basketball too. No half-assed passes, lazy defensive rotations or dumb contested shots. Move the ball and keep the intensity. That's all I can ask.
