I AM FIRED THE FUCK UPPPPPPP!!!!
LET'S GO CELTICS!!!!
Big time facts from my future boss! #HireDozo
The C's set the tone from the start. Marcus got on the parquet early, stole the rock, and Jayson threw it the fuck down to get the Garden a-rockin'. The ​Boston Celtics cruised to a 13-point win (where they led by as many as 24, and it was never in doubt). 36 was OUTSTANDING tonight.
I agree with everything Grant said!!!!
The deed is far from done, but man, does it feel fucking fantastic to be **Eddie Vedder voice** aliveeeeeee still. We're halfway to the greatest comeback in NBA history.
After looking like the real 8 seed through three games, the Celtics woke up and remembered they're one of (if not) the best teams in the NBA. It's easier said than done, but the formula is pretty simple. Hit your open shots and play the elite defense you've been known for the last half-decade.
They've forced 16 turnovers and held Miami under 100 in each win. Dudes were on the floor all night. It's a little frustrating that it took being on death's doorstep for the Celts to play to their potential, but tonight they wanted it more. Now we're going to Miami for Game 6, where the C's are more than comfortable. The Celtics have won 4 of their last 5 playoff games in Miami, including an Eastern Conference clinching Game 7 last season.​
​The Heat are far from dead and technically still in the driver's seat (but the seatbelt is unbuckled, and the C's are yanking them out of the car). They've shown all playoffs that they're much better than their 44 wins would tell you, but as a Celtics fan, you gotta feel good rn. Even if they lose this series, you can take pride in them not rolling over and giving up when they looked down and out.
Derrick White was feeeeeelin' it from a distance, hitting 6/8 in a team-high 24-point effort.
Jayson was hot in the first to keep things going, but every starter chowed tonight.
This isn't exactly the most earth-shattering take, but Game 6 is Game 7 for Miami. Even though we've struggled at home, if this series gets back to Boston, there's no way we aren't sealing the deal (although it would be the most Heat shit to win in 7...but we're not manifesting those vibes...the C's are doing this!!!).
As you've likely heard a thousand times this week, no team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. The Celtics already made it further than 136 of the 150 teams that have fallen down 3-0 in a seven game series. Only three forced a Game 7. The C's can add themselves to that list with a win Saturday night. 
150-0 sure feels like the right time to break this streak. It's a nice round number. So in the future people can say your odds of coming back 3-0 are 150:1. If anybody's gonna do it...it's this Celtics team. The perfect storm is brewin': the better yet underperforming team went down 3-0; they have home court, so Game 7 is at home; Miami is the 8 seed (sure, they've been rolling, but are still an 8 seed...they weren't that good this year); Vibes---Boston already has the most famous 3-0 come back in American sports history, AND it's the Boston Celtics, one of the NBA's premiere franchises...it just makes sense that they'd be the ones to make history.​
Unfortunately, Malcolm's injury sounds serious. While he was briefly on the floor tonight, he looked terrible. I feel bad shitting on him before I knew he was hurt, but it seems like he's dealing with an injury that significantly hampers his play. He missed multiple bunnies last game. Trying to battle through it in the playoffs is admirable, but doing so might be worse for the team.
Back to good vibes. The fucking C's, man. We can do this. I thoroughly believe they can do this. I'm a narrative guy, and this is such a good story that you couldn't write it because the writers are on strike #WGAstrong. ​LOL
Sure, that quote is kind of fucking crazy, but I've realized...so is Joe. I've been hard (to say the least) on the coach who STEPPED UP the last few weeks, but I love this perspective from a dude who graduated from a high school a few miles away from my spot.
OH HOW THE TURNS TABLE, JIMOTHY!!!
I'm so proud of these guys for playing like a TEAM and showing the heart we've been dying to see. It was such an awesome game. Wire-to-wire win to really put some pressure on the Heat. They better beat us on Saturday, cause if they don't Monday is gonna be ROUGH. #BLEEDGREEN
P.S.
I think Ime's proud too.
