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

[Maine Fan]

Another great game by Jaylen Brown.
Thank you Holiday for a great night.
White had a great game as well.
Nice of Holiday cover for JT.

They won that is what it is about.

MVP Holiday.

Obviously shot like shit, but he did everything else. 12 assists and no cheapies among them. Lots of easy points because of his playmaking. And he was great defensively.

& he is running back on D after the non-calls & not complaining to the refs.

14 - 2 in the playoffs, 2-0 in finals. Tatum is fine people

I mean you can't just go by the fact an elite team is able to win even without the star player performing

 

[McGarnagle]

Is it wrong that I want them to drop one in Dallas so they can clinch at the Garden?

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

For all the talk about Tatum's offense, let's give him credit for not sulking or forcing it. He's playing in the flow of the team and more importantly hustling on D, passing and on the boards.

He's doing a lot of the dirty work things that helps free up Porzingis, Holiday, White to go off offensively

 

[Mione134]

That's two.

2 more to go.

 

[sarge88]

The Celts are just so deep.

 

[EverettMike]

Jrue and Derrick should be on the Olympic team.

 

[Johnnyduke]

A big game on a Sunday night over before 11 PM. Thank you Adam Silver.

I am happy with it

 

[Mione134]

I used to want that. But I don't want to give Dallas ANY hope.

Realistically though, they'll lose 1 in Dallas and win it at home.

 

[GatorMike]

If Dallas can't win a game where Tatum goes 6-for-22 and the Celtics shoot 10-for-39 from three... I don't see them winning four of the next five games.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I am happy with it

I am too, it shows how good of a TEAM this is. But 6-22 is positively dreadful. I will give him credit for not letting it impact other areas of his game though. I have nothing against Tatum. I want to see him have that signature moment/game in finals.

 

[Alicat]

Wish I could afford the tickets in Dallas

 

[pgm16]

They were 19 for 20 from the line

 

[lextune]

I want the sweep more than I want to win at home.

 

[lextune]

I love Crazy Joe Mazzulla. I don't care what anyone says.

Jrue outscores Luka in quarters 2 thru 4.

 

[klingsor]

Wilbum really sucks.

 

[N o o d l e s]

This is such a mismatch they don’t even have to play well to win the series

 

[bruins19]

The Celts are just so deep.

The team is absolutely loaded.

 

[Maine Fan]

This is such a mismatch they don’t even have to play well to win the series

So far, let's see what happens in Dallas.

 

[Mione134]

EVERYBODY BREATHE

Yes

 

[JRull86]

In the second half:

Luka: 21:38 MIN 9 Pts 8 A 5 TOs -3
Kyrie: 22:31 MIN 6 Pts 3 A 1 TO EVEN

Total: 15 points, 11 assists, 6 Turnovers, -3

Mavs have zero chance of winning when their two best players give that type of performance.

 

[BostonBob]

Charlie Coyle was supposed to be there but no-showed.

If his replacements are sitting next to Swayman, Im sure Jeremey is Ok with it.

None of them look like Elias Lindholm to me.
