Celts vs Warriors - Championship Round - Game 6 - Pregame Thoughts

Well here we are again standing on the precipice in an absolute must win game.

No need to beat the dead horse again. It's dead to me.

Just go out there and compete the way that you know that you can.

“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.” (quote from Ms Rudolph)

MY NOTE: So, contrary to rumors, alleged "series extender" Scott Foster will not be reffing tonight.

Celts need to play ball and adjust to how the game is being called.  Way too much focus on the refs

That's about it. Nothing to add. It's Showtime!

One game at a time two more times. It’s possible to beat GS twice; the C’s have already done it. With a bench so thin, we need more of Nesmith and Theis, and more minutes from RW unless he is doing permanent damage to himself. Smart looked good as a PG until he was hurt against Milwaukee. He came back into the game, hit a 3, but has been forcing passes ever since. Often he winds up before passing, telegraphing what’s coming.
White has been better than advertised, but Wiggins, a #1 pick, is superior. I think Nesmith could stay with Wiggins part of the game.
The offense works best when Tatum does not bring up the ball. The GS defense is set up to contain Tatum. When he’s the PG, that just makes it easier to double him and contain the rest.
If Brown hits his first few shots, we’re golden. If not, we’ll be talking what ifs and potential trades tomorrow.
Is Al 26 or 40? Younger, angrier version, tonight, please.
Because I’m an optimist and think this team can do it, I’ll get my what ifs out of the way now. What if we’d kept Moses Brown, Richardson, Schroeder and Langford and passed on White, Theis and the glee club at the end of the bench?
IMO, there’d already be another banner hoisted.
That said, I agree with Gyso. It has been a great ride, and winning it all is still within reach.
Go Celtics! hawk

The Glee Club at the end of the bench. Perfect.

Do not look to see change in our rotations however a few more minutes to spell the Jays is likely based on Ime's comments about fatigue.

This series would be over if not for all the turnovers.

Just give us a clean game.
