  1. Love that Jaylen and Derrick had to talk thru the final seconds instead of celebrating the win. They know it’s not over yet

  2. What Jrue did on that steal reminded me so much of his steal on smart to win the game for bucks on the last finals run 2 years ago… just happy to be on the better winning end this time 😅

  3. There were SO many great moments in this game and incredible performances, especially from JT, Al and Jrue in particular.

    As a Celtics fan though, what I loved to see most is how after the Pacers final shot missed, instead of celebrating, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White immediately got to talking about how Nesmith got that open.

    Thats a team that has its eyes on the prize. They weren't going nuts celebrating. They were saying 'yoooo how did he get that good a look? Thats on us.'

  4. Jrue's impact in ECF is insane. Having him is a blessing. I still can't believe how the Bucks messed up trading him. Good thing Lillard doesn't want to play for the Celtics 😅😆

  5. This win really showed me that this team wants it this year. Last season, the Jays would try to play hero ball and jack up 3’s to cut the deficit. They’re mature now, they understand that it’s not about making shots but executing down the stretch, staying disciplined and doing the little things, rebounding, timely help defence and trusting your team mates. Derrick White was not good until the last quarter and a half. He just kept doing what he does best and got some very good blocks that led to transition buckets.
