Proud of how this team responded after a tough game 2 loss.

 

Man, they could easily be up 2-1, but the silver lining is that it took an insane performance from Thomas to even get that game to overtime. Let's do this.

See that's how you finish a blow out Golden State.  You don't keep your starters in, chucking away from three.

Kelly Olynyk is building quite the resume of scumbag play.  Let's not forget him diving at Wall's legs when Wall was in the air after he lost the ball out of bounds.  That could have been a series ender.

Wasnt it Olynyk that injured Kevin Love a couple years back?

Yes. He has a long history of cheap shots at this point. He's a dirty player, and that's coming for a guy who wanted us to draft him. ( luckily we jumped up in the lottery and took Otto).

one more convincing win and all of Boston gets nervous.  They know those first two games were great comeback victories, match that with two beatings and suddenly the Wizards look like the clearly superior team.

Kelly Olynyk = dirtiest player in the league.  Marcus Smart and Jay Crowder aren't too far behind.  Horford is a dirtball too.  Celtics are a scumbag team full of cheap shot artists and floppers.  Can't stand the way they play.

We are superior.  When they can't goon it up and get a bunch of homer officiating, they can't hang.

I'm not a fan of the way Monty McCutchen usually officiates us, but he and his crew were good tonight.  Still got fooled by the way Boston players initiate contact, but it was only like four or five times.  But for the most part, he kept the game under control by calling Boston for a lot of their dirty screens and holds on defense.  They did a good job at getting between OIynyk and Oubre before anything serious happened.  Oubre was ready to throw hands.  And they were smart to have the quick hook on Jennings and Rozier.  That calmed everyone down in what would have otherwise been a gooned up fourth quarter.  Credit to Brad Stevens too for not sending Olynyk out there to start hitting people again.

 

I'd be fine if every game in the series were officiated with a short leash like this one.  That hurts Boston more than us because they are totally reliant on playing dirty.
