Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 NBA Finals - Celtics lead series 3-1 - Game 5 Monday at TD Garden

Dallas cutting it all the way down to 8 only to see the Celts answer is the best sign yet this team really is different from the past few years.

I was just happy they didn’t throw the game away with unforced turnovers at that point

 

[Kate08]

Perfect TO.

Don godfather is that you?

 

[Mione134]

Don't fall for the bait. He barely got booed tonight. And it's bothering him.

 

[Kate08]

Children won’t be joining my family, but I think Patrice Kristaps 08 is a beautiful name if things were different.

 

[Kate08]

Also I just went over to the Dallas board to see their take on the game, if the layoff affected them, etc.

Not only not a thread, but not a post? Basketball is my 4th sport (a la @DKH , but for real) so just want to confirm…we are playing the Dallas Mavericks and it’s the NBA finals, right? Like, this is it? The whole enchilada?

And the timely timeouts!

Didn't some dork on the Blue Jackets say something similar to this when they played the Bruins in the playoffs?


For whatever reason the broadcasters like to mess with the crowd audio and it still sounded loud on tv. It's understandable too with the path the Celtics have had, but today was one of the few times these playoffs it sounded like a legit playoff crowd.

What'd he lose some bet regarding Porzingis, lol.

You mean empanadas…I went to a game where Mavs play and highly recommend it - it’s beautiful and get the empanadas

Lawrence (Joy on Broadway) has some great empanadas but these were really good

I was in Dallas the day after Texas Rangers won WS and barely anything about it

I saw lots of Cowboys stuff but even more of Longhorns then again it was in the heart of football season - college

Yes - that the Bruins crowd was dead. However, I got those Mack ear plugs in case it’s really loud and didn’t use at all until the game they said was not loud - you couldn’t even freaking talk to person next to you and someone is saying the crowd was lifeless

I taped and they clearly mess with audio on broadcast so in fairness yeh it’s not what actually is

That'd have been Brandon Dubinsky.

This. They got blown out game 1, he’s fishing for beef with the Boston fans, so he can then whine to the media. Let him be. Just keep cheering on the Green

 

[pgm16]

And the timely timeouts!

Gotta applaud Joe for that, I never yelled Timeout once....lol

 

[CDJ]

They did exactly what they had to with Luka- make him choose between defense and his gas tank. He chose to keep his gas tank. We’ll take the easy blow-bys

 

[Maine Fan]

Welcome to the partly healed Porzingis, WOW.

Jaylen came to play and play he did at both ends.

They were a team working together. Tatum controlled himself and managed the team play.

Hauser woke up and scored in this year's playoffs.

Poor Pritchard he was on top of his play but he couldn't score a point in 15 minutes.

Great opening game. We need to repeat Sunday to send a message as they go to Dallas.

Great Job Celtics

Luka had one assist. Tells you something.

Every sports info is giving so much credit to KP and he deserves the credit.

However, Jaylen Brown was a star, also, IMO a big star. He scored, 22 pts, he had rebounds, he had steals and he played defense. Nice game for the Conference game MVP.

Fair, but Porzingis turned a close game into a blow out in 5 minutes with his impression of Vinnie The Microwave Johnson. Coming off the bench and immediately raining shots and blocking everything in the zip code fired the team up to a different level.

Skip is a total HACK!!! Always was, always will be. I'd rather listen to the screeching sound of chalk on a chalkboard.

I need Nike to sell those Walton shirts ASAP

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

I need Nike to sell those Walton shirts ASAP

NBA likely had a lot to do w/ that....it's rare also to see the memorial patch on the jerseys.... it's happened before after Heinsohn and KC went since Luke played and coached against them
