Been a Celtics fan since the days of Havlicek and Jo Jo White. I've never seen anything like the ending to this one to force game 7 in Boston. If Boston wins, they will be the first team in NBA history to come back from 0-3 to win a playoff series.

Huge Lakers fan who went thru the Magic - Bird Era  which makes me pretty anti-Celtics but this series comeback has been impressive. I think they will win game 7.

The idea of a Lakers and Celtics finals was absolutely nauseating to me so at least there isn't that. Miami is missing shots like crazy right now. Glad the Lakers are out but would prefer both Lakers and Celtics out.

Boston v. Denver is the best possible outcome for me. My all time favorite team vs. the team I root for when Boston isn't playing.

It was a pipe dream just a week ago. Now it might just happen.

I guarantee the networks did not feel the same way, potential millions in advertising lost.

Tons of talent,  no heart.  Definitely a Tarzan and Jane poster child.

I just personally can't get into the NBA. I used to love it in the 80s: Bird, Magic, Isiah Thomas, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dr. J., Moses Malone, Kareem, Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, etc. Now its all about college basketball for me personally. LeBron is an amazing talent, but watching him beg for calls EVERY time down the floor is just nauseating.

Losing his mom and 7 other family members to COVID is still having an impact. Because of the new rules regarding cap and max contracts, he is probably going to be the one that will be traded.

I still go back and watch Bird, Jordan, Stockon/Malone hightlights.

I haven't watched an NBA game in years.
