I believe this next gm will dictate the series. specifically because I think gm 5 is going to play out much like this game(3) did.

Why? I think game 5 will be the closest game of this series.

The celtics shouldn't lose the series regardless but if they lose game 4 its definitely going 7 and that game would be a toss up

Nope. More than likely, losing game 4 means this goes seven.

I think game 4 is going to be close. The celtics know that the difference between a 3-1 series lead and a 2-2 tie is HUGE. they laid a HUGE stinker in game 3. But I expect Brad to clean up alot of that for game 4

I am quite fearful that Cleveland will win game five if they win game four

we cannot rely on home court to carry us.  we need to end this in 6 or less. just like in hockey anything can happen in a game 7 once you get there. we do not want the cavs getting there. finish this crap in 5 or 6. home court/home ice is not as big in a game 7 when all is on the line and both teams can win it and move on.  win game 4 and close out in game 5 at home.  the longer this goes on i think it favors cavs. if we cannot win game 4 i do not see us winning game 6 there either. 

i'd almost say now if we cannot win in 5.....well....................i do not think giving lebron more chances favors us. hope i am wrong. 
LET'S GO CELTICS!

could only go 6. there is no guarantee we keep winning at home. if we lose game 4 i do not see us winning game 6. game 7 will then be like hockey. anybodys to grab. not good for us. finish them in 5 and end this. tons of pressure on us to not mess up at home.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

Yeah I agree we sholdnt rely on home court, as I said if this goes to game 7 that game will be a toss up but the celtics should not lose this series and frankly if they do its a pretty big choke job.

Don’t feel good about game 4.

Think we’ll return to Boston 2-2.

Game 5 will be the critical game.

Whoever wins game 5 will probably win the series.

I really hope the Cs players and coaches don't think like the people on this blog. I think everybody would love to win game 4, but CLE is still more desperate. We still have home court advantage and a much better defense. If we lose game 4, I assure you that the series is not over. You do not beat a Lebron James led team by being scared.

Really don’t know what that game was all about yesterday...seems like Cs did not want to be there. Did Al even score?
