Their back court will probably be back to their old self and defend well. I would like to see intense Al again.

need a huge game from Al tonite

Need good shots. Don't be lazy and settle for 3s and mid range jump shots.

The Celtics need to treat the 1st quarter like it's the 4th quarter. Be focused, value every possession and calm their mind down. There are no 5 point plays so don't try to make any.

Take advantage of the Cavs’ despiration. Get them in foul trouble.  Avoid turnovers. Taek a few charges. Stay calm.

All good stuff.

It's a road game so get to the basket but don't force anything. Be patient. Cleveland can't play defense for 24 straight seconds, they just don't have the focus. They can make one good rotation but not a second.

Come out and ATTACK! Play defense. Make the easy dunks and layups this time.

Not going to lie, although I'm feeling oddly confident about tonight, I'm real nervous too lol.

I think Stevens has been saving a move and it comes out tonight. It could be a defensive move or going to Tatum and Horford in PnRs alot. I've been calling for it all season.

I’ve been getting more and more confident about tonight too.  Last I saw Cleveland is a 7 point favorite.  I think the Celts take it outright tonight.  Just a gut feeling.

I certainly hope so.  But, I think the 'script" calls for Bron's superhuman powers (including acting skills displayed the last game with the narrative that was "tired") returning with the Cav's forcing a game 7 (more games, more revenue it's that simple).  Plus, the eventual winner in the East will be "chosen" to take on whoever wins the West which if GSW would lead to a ratings crash if the Cav's move on for what seems like 5-6 years running.  No wants to see that trin wreck especially with a title that will be disputed on the basis that 1 or more key players on either or both sides were out, injured or limited.
