Man I like Al Horford's game, but he just doesn't have another gear. He isn't able to take his effort level up in bigger games, and he gets outworked in all of them seemingly.
The players definitely asked Lue to let them send a message tonight.
And oh boy did they send it.
Boston now knows for a fact that we will obliterate them in the ECF, regardless of how bad we shoot, how many media members blow Brad Stevens, how many undeserved free throws the refs give Isiah....if the Celts are in our way, then really nobody is in our way. Their fans now know that. The media should also now know that.
LeBron always knew it.
