No booing! Realistically this is probably the last time the Celts play at home this year. This team has shown a ton of heart and resiliency. Cheer your hearts out for them, even if we see a repeat of Game 2.

Make our players and our city proud.

I booed them in Game 2 but I won't tonight.  Had I known IT was injured then those performances would have made sense.

Might be the last time we see some of our starting 5 and core.

To be one of the last 3 standing is really amazing.   For a team this young to get this level of experience is fantastic.

I think we all know that the team is likely to look quite different next season (though it's possible they add Fultz and stay relatively intact).  My hat goes off to CBS, DA, ownership and the players for a great season.  Even though it's never totally fulfilling when a championship isn't achieved, I have no complaints about 2016-17.

I may not be awake for it (if it's not close -- I need to be up at 4AM), but I hope the crowd sends them off with a huge ovation regardless of the score.  Really hoping the C's will be competitive again tonight, but can definitely be satisfied regardless.

Elimination game played on the road for the Cavs.
Most likely last game at the TD Garden for some of these Celtics.

Win or lose...let's go Celtics!

Great thoughts, sentiments, guys. Truly outstanding stuff, everyone.

I say there's gonna be at least one more game in Cleveland.

Go Cs!

After that blowout in Game 2, the remaining fans at the garden gave them a standing ovation, most of them probably expected they might not come back for the postseason.  No reason to believe they won't give the Cs another standing ovation even if they lost.

No booing?
What about when Lebron has the ball?

Yeah. Someday Jaylen Brown will be an old vet telling rookies about the time he played Lebron James in the ECF. No doubt this is big for him. Smart and KO as well, but Jaylen especially since I can see him being the guy setting the tone for a team in 10 years.
