Nail biter for sure. Glad to see the green move forward. The Heat will be a challenge. Good luck to those boys. Thought the Bruins would go the second round, which they usually lose. But, played hard to the end. I appreciate that. Milwaukee gave up at the end. Bad plays and just shooting from everywhere. Game isn't over until it's over. Let's go Celts.

Man I' was hyped from last nights game. No matter what happens Sunday, I feel really good about how we did in this series. Don't get me wrong, I would love if the Celtics did to the Bucks what they did to Toronto in 2020 and beat the defending champs, but the fact they got the Bucks to a game 7 is already quite an accomplishment. And thank god we finally got a dominating performance from Jayson Tatum when we needed it.

Excellent win by the Bruins. Dominated from start to finish. That's the kind of game the Bruins are going to have to play in Carolina to have any chance at all because you know the fans will be rocking that arena. Lets go, Bruins!

Celtics lost Game 5. Not Game 6. Well hopefully they won't lose Game 6, tomorrow Night?

#1: They couldn't for the Life of me buy me any Rebounds in that last Qrt. Well basically last like 6 minutes Game Clock. I say Buy me = meaning they couldn't get any freakin Boards. Sorry I put in a stupid way, by saying "buy me".

Also, #2: Marcus Smart at the last 2 possessions he had the ball. I'm sorry Marcus you man been doing great these Playoffs. Until the ending to that Game. Not once, but twice he coughed up the bball. At the last 2 plays of that game. Jrue Holiday took him on a Vacation by pickpocketing. But. ,it may not be a permanent Go Home Vacation. Still, the Celtics have a good Fighting Chance. They won their last outing in Milwaukee. Hopefully tomorrow night in Mtown they win.

Note to the Celtics, don't let Marcus Man the ball at the end of the game. If its a close-tight Score again. Please someone else, for the Life of me, handle the Ball in those critical moments. Or in the 4th Quarter, In General. Preferably Tatum or JB. Or even Big Al. Big as in Strong dude / good player. He's been excellent in these Playoffs.

Marcus you had a wide open Jason Tatum to hit a 3. And send it to OT. Ok my Rant is over Meat Man. LOL and LMAO.

Well, sports fans.

Looks like we've seen this all before, Could we see the Bruins and Celtics make miraculous comebacks this coming week?. I could go into a long rant as to why the Celtics lost a 14-point lead but, I'll lose my marbles. What say you?

Great win b's 2-4 I would have had trouble sleeping if this game was a loss. Wish I was there.

A good vote for who's going to ride the Duck Boats. Boston Bruins or Boston Celtics? Bruins has always been a dead horse after the second series. But, damn those Celtics, I really think they can make it to the finals! I don't believe they have what it takes to win the finals. But, I have a strong feeling they can at least make it that far.

We'll see how the Celts do tonight. Bucks dominated game 1 on the road without Middleton in the lineup which scares me. Bucks are a deep team and the size of players like Giannis and Lopez causes matchup problems. Hopefully the Celtics can make some adjustments and lessen the number of turnovers.

Bruins game last night with tampa bay was great. Pastrnak reminds me of pavel bure, I think their next 3 games are going to be wins.

It has been a crazy year for the Celtics. I went from zero interest to back to watching every game. Major credit to Stevens and Udoka for getting the right pieces in place and turning things around. They are playing together and with a lot more passion. I think they can play with any team in this league. They are fun to watch again. Hoping they go deep in the playoffs. Such a young team too. Tatum is only 24 LOL.

They've been lights out for two months and have put the whole NBA on notice!. I love the formula they're having.

Hey Meat Bro. Its crazy that all these other Networks like E# them Analysts give the Celtics shit for Cred. They get NO love from these guys. Only on Comcast Sports Net the channel the Celtics are on Locally, the Analysts on there Respect them. Its crazy absurd, been the best team in the NBA last 2+ months. And yet these guys on other Networks keep mentioning the Heat, Bucks and the Nets. And also the Sixers. No Respect guys for the Celts. Hey I hope they continue to use this as extra added Motivation. I'm kinda glad that they are Flying Under the Radar.

[Spike77]

The Celtics have been plastering teams for over a month. Could the Celtics go all the way to the e Eastern conference finals as well as the NBA finals this year?. What are your opinions. Also, other local teams. How are they fairing?

I hate to be the stereotypical negative Boston sports fan but I'm not sold on Mac Jones. He has a very below average arm. Even with all the great attributes he has (intelligence, anticipation, maturity) that arm gives him a low ceiling. People are all excited like we found the next Tom but Tom has all those attributes plus a great arm. His arm is still great. It's not like it was ever bad. Tom had a much stronger arm even as a rookie. And I know it's not a fair comparison for a rookie QB but the truth is he plays in NewEngland. It's cold, winding, rainy, snowy etc. You need a strong arm in this league period but never mind in all the elements. I say we trade Mac for fellow monger Deshawn Watson. Bill could school him on getting rid of the ball quicker and Kraft could school him on better MP etiquette. It would be a win win.

I think Jones will be fine as he had a pretty good year as a rookie. The patriots need a top tier wide receiver. They definitely had a better season than I thought and who knows how far they will go in the playoffs.

Tom also had overwhelming intangibles, and that's what really made him into who he is. The way he talked, the way he acted made mediocrities play at their fullest potential nearly all the time. It was so obvious in 2001 the minute he took over from Bledsoe.

I don't think the same applies to Mac Jones. Remember how great the D played before the bye and how poorly after? I have a hunch that it's largely due to Mac's criticism that people don't practice enough. The veterans on the D: McCourty, Hightower, Van Noy, etc they really have nothing to prove. They all got rings and they are all spoiled by Brady's attitude towards them. Arm is good but it's a team sport.

Remember last year when Tommy played Green Bay in Green Bay? How many interceptions did he throw in the 4th quarter - 2-3? And Tampa still won. Why? Because players come out of their skins to play for Tom IMHO, especially those on the defense.

Mac Jones? It's not for the cub to criticize lions even if they didn't practice enough. I wonder if Belichick sanctioned the critique. If he did, I think it was the stupidest thing he did the whole year.
