Celtics last night: Resilience, toughness and heart

What if I told you that Golden State would see Steph score 31 and Klay score 25, not to mention they had their patented third quarter run? You may say they would have control of the series. Well you would be wrong, they took those punches and ended up winning and showing how much tougher they are. Anyone see Draymond Green because Celtics fans were chanting for him but he didn't seem to show up! In the post game mightier than thou Klay Thompson was complaining about the fans, what does that show me the Celtics and their fans have gotten to yet another soft player. Just ask a certain person who wears the same number in Brooklyn.

How about them Celtics! From the jump last night you could tell they were not messing around. Did anyone else notice how the Celtics talent and toughness over powered these Warriors?! The Celtics have taken when they went through vs the Bucks and Heat, and are now applying it against a softer, weaker Warriors team. Let's look at the Jays last night, both did what you would want your studs to do. They both scored, rebounded, made good passes and played hard nosed D! The Wolverine was right there with them showing why he's the heart and soul of this team!

RWill and GWill kept plenty of possessions alive for the Celtics last night. Along with some pretty stellar D. It seemed like a true TEAM win because each player out there had an impact on winning this game! This is why I love this team, they play hard D and when it's needed very good offense. They did have to many turnovers in the first half for my liking but cleaned it up in the second half!

Ime Udoka has shown he can hang with and put coach some the NBAs top dogs. I fully expect him to have this group foaming at the mouth to go up 3-1 on Friday night. Celtics fans embrace this team and this run! This team has given me a very special first season on writing. Bleed Green! Celtic Pride!

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...
