Call Me a Masochist...

[Redz]

...but I went back and watched most of the 4th quarter of the ECF Game 7 last night.  Mostly because I wanted to rewatch the Tatum dunk/3 sequence.  What I'd lost track of was how deep into the game the Celts went before completely falling apart.  In particular, the Horford alley oop dunk was an immense power play in the clutch.  But they were going toe to toe with the Cavs right up until the point they weren't, then they got absolutely zippo.  I watched right up until Morris's airball 3.  That seemed to be the first real signof the apocalypse.

okay, you're a masochist.


was there some sort of joke here? 

[Somebody]

I don't think it's being a masochist, it's about caring for your team and looking at what went wrong and how can it be corrected next season. TP for the courage though

I kept telling my oldest son about how much EITHER Kyrie or GH would've helped us in that game

The blessing here is that the youngsters GREW from that improbable playoff run. They also had their trust in Big Al reinforced in that he had big plays throughout that three series run and was a great leader.

As long as that translates into Tatum and Brown continuing to play well ALONGSIDE Kyrie and GH then we'll be well nigh unstoppable next season. And I fully believe we will.

I’m gonna rewatch. I’m a masochist too.

If that 3 goes down, it's a 1 point game with 2 minutes left, the Garden is going nuts, and the Cavs are at least a little deflated by the offensive rebound. Instead, two wide open misses and the Cavs ran away with it.

The Celtics had other chances to win and I don't believe any game is won or lost on one play but that one did feel important, emotionally.

Thanks!  I feel so much better now.  Or maybe I feel worse and that's making me feel better.  Is that the point?

I mean, the Titanic was an awesome cruise for a while too, right?

I still can't rewatch game 7 of the 2010 finals. 37-17... it still hurts.

But don't forget, we are dealing with LeBron James- the greatest player in the planet. This ain't no Bucks or 76ers cuz they will squirm through the pressure even with that 1 point lead behind all the crowd noise.

Nah, you're not a masochist, and hey, someone has to review dat black box, lol .

I don't think I can click on that YouTube link just yet

Lol, don't worry, man. It's just a 32 second clip of an Al Horford alley-oop on Ashton Kutcher at the start of the 4th quarter .

Depends. Are you in first class or dining in "steerage" ? Are you an officer on the bridge or shoveling coal into the boilers? Man, when they hit the iceberg, those dudes must have been...stoked .

I think I'd be the violinist, dutifully playing through the chaos.

Of course, I suck at violin, so they probably would have just heaved me over the deck to the icy water below.

Hey, you never know. Maybe you would have been able to...strike a chord with one of the lifeboat captains *groan*.
