Celtics/NBA 2023 Playoffs Round 3 - Back to South Beach

[shelbysdad]

I was impressed by Embiid after the game, actually taking time to chat with each Celtic player (that they showed) instead of just saying good job, congratulations, and leaving as the entire rest of the sixers did.

Classy by Embiid, stuff good leaders and good guys do....new found respect here

Whatever happened to @CHRDANHUTCH

I hope he's okay

 

[EverettMike]

Joe Mazzulla came through.

 

[Maine Fan]

Is their any doubt we are going to get a Celtics/Lakers final with LeBron passing the torch to Tatum

Yes, Jimmy Buckets, thinks so.

4 away from breaking Larry Bird's single game record.

Nice to see Tatum play to his potential. It started with him driving to the hoop. Put sixers defense back on their heels. He then proceeded to shoot 3’s in the face of Embiid. I’ve been critical of him but that was a clutch performance last night. Now onto Jimmy Butler

He will have to play the same with Jimmy Buckets and Bam Adebayo on the other side.

Go Celtics & Tatum

Two guys who dominated TD Garden this spring

Celtics clearly lead Miami in the talent department. Spo is a far better coach than Mazzulla. All logic when you just look at rosters indicate Celtics in 5-6.


So it'll be a scrappy, rough 7 game series

Refteshing. Very unBruin like. That was clutch game 6 and 7

Tatum dug deep and took his game to another level

If anyone has any idea what to make of this Miami team I'd love to know.

Fans down there are probably buying tickets for the Cats by accident thinking they are for the Heat and then asking eachother which team plays what sport.

What Jayson Tatum Did and Didn’t Learn from Kobe Bryant

The Boston Celtics forward grew up idolizing the late N.B.A. legend. But beneath the influence and adulation there is a fundamental difference.

One guy worries me. Jimmy Butler. He is a badass player. Clutch If we can limit him to under 30 pts each game we will win this seties

 

[lextune]

If we play with a high effort defensive mindset like we did in games 2, 6 and 7 the Heat cannot hang with us. And that's assuming Butler is still gonna get his.

That's a big "if" though.

At this point the only thing that can stop the Celtics is the Celtics.

 

[pgm16]

C's in 6. I have watched a lot of Heat playoff games, they know how to win.

 

[BostonBob]

I'm pretty confident that Boston will beat Miami........but not 97% confident.

A little ridiculous given what Miami has done this postseason. They made light work of the 1 seed and then made light work of the Knicks, who have given the Celtics problems

I think the Celtics win but it’s like 60/40 for me
