So, are we rooting for GE or Goodyear?

Nice pass by LBJ to Hill to put the game close to away.

Holy crap. Morris tried to rip LeBron to the floor on that fastbreak. Didn't phase him. 3 point play. That was incredible strength. Did you see Morris face? He was pulling him down with all he had.

Jesus Boston. All night Tatum and Horford are the only ones making shots. And in the last 3 minutes neither of them even got a shot. Just Smart, Rozier, Brown, Morris tossing bricks.

Let me backtrack/rephrase from my statement; I don’t want Marcus Smart SPECIFICALLY, I want his grit and intangibles.
This game made me want only one Celtic; Horford

Celts picked a hell of a game to play like ass. Too many 3s, especially Rozier. Stevens should've told his guys to knock off the hero-ball crap. Didn't feel like a Game 7 from either team.

Van Gundy's talk of this being an unprecedented instance of a player carrying a mediocre supporting cast to the Finals needs to recall Moses Malone and the 1981 Houston Rockets (40-42 in the regular season).

LeBron is still the king, I don't care what the regular season says.

Jordan would have had 65/25/19 and won in 5. :roll:

I don't like when reporters try to get LeBron to say he had to carry his guys, or get him to try to bad mouth his teammates. Garbage.
