MIL not going sway quietly. But we're showing mental toughness.

We gotta finish with our main group. White, Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford. I can't see Grant changing in the last 5 minutes.

I gotta commend Al hugely too. Giannis is playing huge minutes and Al is matching his gametime and still able to be effective. For his age, he is in fantastic shape.

@dm I dont know why you like Portis. His back shoves are absolutely illegal. I dont care if he was on the Cs. That stuff injures players. NBA needs to crackdown on that.

I swear there is something wrong with Jaylen's shooting hand. He is missing FTs he usually makes.

You gotta love this team. To come back from a heartbreaking loss in Game 5 to win this impressively in Game 6? Wow, that's heart. That's mental toughness.
Tatum earned his superstar stripes with this performance. Let's hope he has one more in him Sunday.

Huge win on the road. my goodness this series has been fun to watch. S V Gundy said before Game 6 that this was the best playoff series he's seen in years, including Finals. I don't know if there's ever been a playoff series between genuine contenders where the road team won 4 of the first 6. There have been more dominant Celtics teams over the years, but I'm not sure I've ever been more proud of one.

I think these are potentially the two best teams - but, the Heat series against whoever wins game 7 will also be a hard, physical battle. It never ends! I like what Gundy said about whoever comes out of the East is going to be battled-tested and championship ready.

There have been more dominant Celtics teams over the years, but I'm not sure I've ever been more proud of one. I'm definitely incredibly proud for them of their transformation. They went from everything that can be terrible about the NBA to everything that you want to see in a very short period of time, and in the middle of it we saw old men come back to life and grab a fountain of youth (Horford) a hated punk become the most respected defender in the game (Smart) and young kids fulfill their destiny (Tatum, G Will, Jaylen). Also saw a coach and GM show they completely belonged. Hmmm....that's a pretty good 12 thousandth post

I like him because he's an instigator (but yeah, not if he's dirty). That's interesting because I see Draymond Green as an instigator and B Portis as right on the border of dirty. I think he got in trouble once because of cruddy stuff. I'm going to look for that right now. Yeah. I knew there was a reason I was wary of him. I wasn't there, but still www.sportscasting.com/nba-finals-hero-bobby-portis-once-punched-teammate-face-practice-sent-to-hospital/

I guess it goes back to my interest in him as a draft prospect.

One thing I loved about this game is when you look at the box score there are multiple players that sorta look like they didn't play well but having watched it I think they all played pretty well.
