It is hoped for quite a few reasons we anticipate a Celtic victory. Although a few posters have complained about some insulting among a few and also having their posts and opinions criticized( I mean that’s the main reason for the forum, to offer opinions to which there is agreement or not), continuing to post will be light as some may wish to comment on the finals even if we are not in it. I will root for GS, but, of course, for us GOD willing we face the Warriors. But then, other than the draft and suggestion on whom we should keep, trade etc. many of us will miss the enjoyment of posting. I’ll go to the Red Sox forum but do hope that’s a few weeks from now.

In anticipation of a Double Celebration tomorrow with our victory, I wish for you all to enjoy this Patriotic Day with Family & Friends... Memorial Day (last Mon in May) for those who never made it out of uniform. It honors Americans who died while defending the nation and its values. It’s a day that allows us to remember our fallen heroes who put service before self. Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday formerly known as Decoration Day. First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War, it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars. Armed Forces Day (3rd Sat in May)…for those who still wear the uniform. Veterans Day (Nov 11)…for those who wore the uniform & especially important to me the day before, Nov 10, Marine Corps Birthday. Not just because I am a Marine (branch of service unimportant) but again I found it inspiring and emotional all the way !!! This Doctor is a Saint !!! I find it an appropriate video, I have seen it a few times and it always inspires me. I believe as tribute to his fallen son, one for whom we celebrate Memorial Day, he committed his medical service. Love his comment when trying to get his age requirement waved by Dubya, he said, begging your pardon Mr. President, I am younger than you are. I got a bit emotional when he said hearing the bagpipes on a Memorial Day celebration he felt it was a signal from his son. Nice to see Stephen Spielberg behind this.

c**ktail, Quaalude's or herb, have your calming preferences ready for game time. I expect a war , as we know Miami will bring it and I hope the Celtics do as well.

I don’t anticipate a 109-81 whooping like we put on Milwaukee in game 7 last round, but I didn’t expect it then either! I feel like we should win this game, the basketball Gods have Got to be with us! Hopefully Jimmy blew his wad last game and the Heat are gassed, but I wouldn’t count on that. 2 keys: win the first and third quarters! Those two quarters have killed us in our losses.
Go C’s !!!

Win first 3 Qtrs and nurse a 10-15 pt lead swapping baskets 4th Qtr. Clear the bench 2 min to go with a Dagga 10 pt lead and our possession and nurse the clock and accept foul shots. They can win the 4th Qtr total points but again, we win total first 3 qtr. Hope I'm not just California Dreaming!

Meantime cutting some tension and anxiety, enjoying Red Sox up 6-0 but not out of the woods. Yesterday they had a 8-2 lead and would you believe, gave up 10 runs in row to lose 12-8?

I expect a fast start by Mia, with us catching up by halftime. By end of 3rd they're out of gas.

I think we are destined to win this game and the Basketball Gods have to look favorably upon us, based on the way we got here. Going all out to win game # 82 even though that put us in a first round series with the allegedly "toughest out" in the playoffs, Brooklyn Nets with KD and Kyrie. Then on to round 2 against the defending, prideful, World Champions and Giannis. We take care of business each time. Now we got the overall #1 seed in the East. This team has got to be rewarded for going thru possibly the toughest road to the finals ever! It's times like this I am reminded of Glenn McDonald. Any old timers remember him? 1975 finals Celtivs vs. Suns series tied 2-2 in pivotal game 5. In the 3rd OT after some players fouled out, Tommy Heinson put McDonald in the game. While everyone else on the court was exhausted, McDonalds FRESH LEGS led him to outrun everyone and he six of his eight points in the final 1:35 to lead the Celtics to a win in the longest game in NBA Finals history! C'mon Ime!! Both teams have got to be exhausted! Get some fresh legs in !!!!

Just read this : Jayson Tatum in Game 7s.
The Celtics’ young star has already been tested in do-or-die games four times in his five-year career. He’s shown up in all four of them.
Tatum’s scored at least 20 points in all four games, averaging 24 points, 5.3 assists, and 7.8 rebounds in Game 7s. He’s gone 3-1 in such games, with the one loss coming to LeBron James and the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the 2018 Eastern Conference final.
Need you to come up big JT!

Jayson is a Christian and gives all the glory to God for his skills, talent, and the platform he has been blessed to have through playing basketball. His favorite scripture is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
I am a Catholic and pray for a victory but I do hope it will be Christ who indeeds strengthens Jayson!!!

I hope God takes care of this once great country, and ceases the division that will allow us to pass bi-partisan and sensible gun laws. Grandmothers and babies are getting shot in the face.
I think God has better and more important things to do than care about a basketball game.
I do hope we all show up tonight, though, and play hard for 48 mins. I agree with Cole's assessment, and I think they will run out of gas in the third quarter. Or, at least I hope they do.
