    If we can somehow win game 4, we can regain home court advantage. When Celtics play like they did tonight, I feel great about our chances.

    Do I think they will? f--- no. But at least they showed heart and life in this series.

    Amazing how much better Boston looked on offense without IT dribbling over half the shot clock, the ball movement was great throughout the game for a change. Good win for them but I still think it ends in 5. Makes game 4 a lot more interesting, at least.

    I've been saying this for a while but there's only 1 coach I'd take over Bras Stevens.

    I'd take Pop, Spo, and maaaaaybe Kerr, but he's probably top 5 although I think he tends to be a little overrated at times.

    I love IT, but he's not a great distributor. When he gets blitzed and pressured, he makes bad decisions. Offense looked upbeat without him against the Cavs.

    I'm just pissed because if they played this way at home, this might've been a different series. IDK how they played that aggressive and upbeat in Cleveland and not Boston.

    Nice W for Boston. Showed heart after they got embarrassed last game. Now can they go down like they're supposed to so we can move on to what we've all been waiting for? Cleveland vs Golden State.

    Pop was the coach.

    Kerr is tough because he certainly elevated the Warriors to another level offensively but he also inherited a great team.

    I forgot about spo. He's definitely up there.

    They easily coulda given up down 2-0, down 20 in game 3, but they fought back. Maybe this is the wake up call LeBron and the Cavs needed or maybe they figured something out. Depending on how the rest of the series plays out, it may make it easier to pay Bradley the max or near-max instead of IT when they're getting Fultz anyways.

    I look at Kerr as more of an innovator or pioneer of the way we see the game going today. I see the argument for him inheriting a great team and I think it's a great point considering Mike Brown is doing more than fine as their coach right now.

    I'm biased toward Spo, but I truly believe he's right behind Pop as second best coach in the NBA. I gotta work in the am so I'm not going to explain tonight but I can tomorrow.

    Celtics smothered them all around on D. Kyrie and Lebron honestly could not get any easy good looks.

    Series should've been closer than it was. IDK if we'd be up, or it'd still be 2-1, but any Celtic fan can tell you what they showed in the first two games wasn't the Celtics. They are a scrappy team, they hustle, they play defense, and they move the ball around. They literally showed NONE of that. It was f---ing frustrating watching them not contest shots, make switches, or move around offensively.

    By the way, no way I'd choose Spoelstra or Kerr over Stevens. No way.

    Pop, obviously, but not the other two. What Brad Stevens has done with this team is incredible.

    Start of the next game will be interesting, Cavs will probably be fired up and looking to repeat game 2 and put em away early while the Celtics will try to prove they do belong in this series and have a legit shot.

    That bounce at the end though lmao, imagine if this was a game 7 or something, that would've been the luckiest way ever to advance.

    I think it's definitely closer than you may think, but I'm not gonna argue Spo's better because Stevens deserves credit.

    Yeah basically that. Kerr is definitely a top 3 coach. The warriors went from a traditional looking offense to a team that runs very little high pnr in a league that every team runs high pnr. Him taking the ball out of his all NBA pg hands and playing thru dray and tons of ball movement was genius on his part.

    I believe in spo too. I just forgot about him. What he did this season with that roster was incredible. They didn't make the playoffs but that team shouldn't have been that good. I thought he was a product of the big 3 but he's clearly not.
