Postgame Audio: Avery Bradley + Marcus Smart on Celtics Thrilling Game 3 Win | Powered by CLNS Media

With no Isaiah Thomas and facing a 21-point deficit, the Boston Celtics battled back to knock off Cleveland on the road in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavaliers now lead the series 2-1.

After Friday's 44-point disaster, the Boston Celtics will look to fight and claw their way to respectability against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 Sunday night.

The Celtics will be without Isaiah Thomas, who is out for the rest of the postseason with a hip injury. Marcus Smart will start in Thomas' place.

Plus, in spite of the lopsided results, Jaylen Brown continues to compete and give credence to the Celtics' selection of him third overall in the 2016 NBA draft.

Isaiah Thomas is out for the season with a re-aggravated hip injury. Isaiah came close to sitting out game 7 of the Washington series, but chose to play. His career season included a 2nd all star appearance and selection to the 2nd team All NBA.

In this Roundtable podcast, Eddie Santiago and Matt Ignal discuss the Isaiah Thomas injury, the greatness of his season, and the meaning of the rest of the Cavs series.
