The Celtics blew the doors off an extremely undermanned Grizzlies team 131-91. While Marcus Smart wasn't available to play, him and his wife were in the stands and Celtics fans showed him an incredible amount of love. There were several points during the game where "Thank You Marcus" chants were heard. The Celtics honored him as the "Heroes Among Us" for all of the work he did in the community during his time here. They also played an amazing tribute video for him. It was a very heart warming game for sure.
As far as the game is concerned, there's not a whole lot you can take from this. Memphis had 13 guys listed on their injury report prior to the game and had to run a very thin rotation. The story of the game outside of Marcus Smart was Jordan Walsh getting his first NBA bucket on a great transition dunk. It's always nice to see a good bounce back win after a tough loss.

THE CELTICS SWEEP THE PACERS AND ARE HEADING TO THE NBA FINALS!!!! Jaylen Brown won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP deservedly so. He was spectacular this series and in this game. He had 10pts in the 4th quarter and a couple of monster defensive plays down the stretch as well as the assist to White for the 3 that put the Celtics up 105-102. After missing out on an All-Defensive nod and and All-NBA nod, I'm super happy for him to get some recognition.
Past JB, we had phenomenal contributions from a lot of guys. Holiday continued his dominance on both sides of the ball, Tatum was very unselfish and was just 2ast shy of a triple double, Derrick White obviously hit that go ahead 3 I just talked about but he also had 5 steals and 3 blocks which is insane to say. This was another unbelievable comeback victory from the C's. NBA Finals here we come!!!

C's Sweep Pacers!!! NBA Finals Here We Come!!!! JB ECF MVP!!!

The Celtics found themselves down 18pts in this game and mounted an incredible comeback to win 114-111! Tatum led the way scoring wise with 36 but it was Al Horford who stuck out the most to me. He had 23pts on 7-12 from deep and seemed to hit every big shot we needed from him. Holiday certainly struggled from the field for most of this game but had a huge And 1 to go up 112-111 and then a monster steal that led to 2 more FTs to ice the game at 114-111.
Our entire starting lineup made big play after big play down the stretch which is good because we got absolutely nothing from our bench. Pritchard, who has been solid, didn't do a whole lot. Hauser has continued his awful stretch of basketball. While Brissett played well in Game 2, he didn't look very good either but credit to Mazzulla for not sticking with him long and giving Tillman some run because he looked solid out there. This was another game the Celtics had no business winning but they found a way and that is the most encouraging part! On to the next one!!

C's Come Back From Down 18!!!! 3-0 Series Lead!!

The Celtics blow out the Pacers 126-110 taking a commanding 2-0 series lead. Jaylen Brown led the way with 40pts and was damn near unstoppable in this game on both sides of the ball. Jrue Holiday played another outstanding game with both Tatum and White playing well in the second half. They were both pretty horrible in the first but they turned on the jets in the 2nd half lol.
While JB should be the story of this game, Tyrese Haliburton leaving the game might take some of the headlines. He left in the third quarter and did not return so that is a major question mark come game 3. Funny enough, the Pacers scored more in the 2nd half than they did in the first half with him out there BUT they had to rely on Siakam going off and I don't know how sustainable that is over the long term if Haliburton can't play or not. Either way, this was a solid win. Onto Game 3!!

JB Drops 40 In Blow Out Win!! 2-0 Series Lead!!!

WOW the Celtics beat the Pacers 133-128 in OT taking a 1-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. This game was as nerve wracking and fun as it gets. The Celtics were down 115-110 with just under 2 minutes to play and forced an OT after JB deflected an inbounds off Siakam giving them the ball down 3 with 8 seconds left. He then went on to hit a ridiculously hard corner 3 tying the game forcing an OT silencing all the haters who keep saying the Celtics can't perform in the clutch.
JB deserves a ton of credit for 2 massive plays down the stretch but Holiday may have put together his best game of the postseason for the C's. He was doing everything tonight and Tatum wasn't far off either. Tatum certainly missed his fair share of shots down the stretch but he also came up big in OT with 10 of the Celtics 16pts! This game was far from perfect and hopefully the Celtics learn from this and come out with a greater sense of urgency in Game 2. We need to play Celtics basketball and stop trying to match the pace of the Pacers because that is dangerous territory against Indy. Onto Game 2!!!

C's Win OT Nail Biter! JB Clutch 3 Forces OT!!!!

The Celtics beat the Cavs 113-98 and win the series 4 games to 1 advancing to their 3rd straight Eastern Conference Finals! This game was played without Mitchell, Allen and LeVert for the Cavs and it was probably closer than it should have been BUT it doesn't matter how you win in the playoffs as long as you win! This game was dominated by Al Horford. He had 22pts breaking out of his 3pt slump and hit 6-13 from deep. He also had 15reb, 7 of which were offensive. He dialed back the clock and pulled out a monster performance.
With the Celtics back in the Eastern Conference Finals, the only question left is, who will they be playing? Will it be a beat up Knicks team led by superstar Jalen Brunson or the young Indiana Pacers with Nesmith trying to go on a revenge tour? In my opinion, this should be another 5 game series either way regardless of Porzingis playing or not. It sounds like Porzingis could be making a return by then with the series not starting till Sunday or Tuesday of next week depending on when that series wraps up. Either way, lets get it Celtics fam!
