Horford is worn down. Porzingis is shelved. Kornet been unmiraculous for a few games. Tillman's head is too close to the floor for inside presence. Queta might work for short minutes, though you could see why any coach would hesitate to play him in this situation.

An unknown hero is called for. Somebody help Al Horford!

[Birdon]

Burn Cleveland down.
Drink their blood.
OJT Joe, please no ham & egg feast tonight. No cheerios with chocolate milk.
Grab a bottle of vodka and go to war.

[KingofTheClay]

Our backcourt in a pretty vulnerable spot.

40 year old Al and slow, soft Kornet will get abused by their guards.

Tillman in theory should be of assistance but maybe he’s worse than advertised

Tillman only played in game 2 where every guy on the team looked terrible. I'd give him another shot for 10-12 mins instead of playing Al 40

[31to6]

No let down please. Make me a liar with my “Celtics in 6 pick” I won’t be mad.

[exculpatory]

GET IT DONE.

COME OUT LIKE MOTHER **** LIONS —- YOU HEAR ME, BIG DEUCE?

DEFENSE FOR 48 WINS!

STOMP DONOVAN!

FINISH THIS TOMORROW & WED - then watch the Knicks & Pacers cannibalize each other all week.

[Tyakack]

The game that will decide if we win in 5 or 6. Up to you C's.

[PierceFan4ever]

Don’t give them any life! Go up 3-1 and it’s a wrap. Looking forward to another Tatum signature game now that he finally looked like himself again.

[zoyathedestroya]

If both teams (with their available healthy bodies) play to their capabilities, Celtics should come out on top 99 out of 100 times. Cavs already got their one. No letdowns. Finish in 5.

[playa-hater]

On top of all the slack that Al looks old and slow defensively, he has not shot 3s well again these playoffs. And playing 39 minutes just exasperates his production issues and defense even more so. One day to rest isn't optimal as well.

I also worry about letdowns after a Big win.. Why??? history says so.

[sam_I_am]

Al did not have his best game but he was +12 in 39 minutes. I don’t want him to be worn down but he delivered in a critical game 3 defending the bigs, he just got toasted switching on their elite guards. I wouldn’t write him off just yet. I expect a huge game 4 from him.

Have no faith in this team at home tied 2-2. Win game 4 and crush their spirits before they come to Boston.

[Gant]

Kornet's calf is still bothering him which might explain his recent shortened playing time. Porzingis is out. Horford really needs some back-up. Tillman's only gotten a few spot opportunities.

Are the stars aligning for Queta to get a few playoff minutes? It's not impossible.

Game 4 is a huge game. Being up 3-1 as the higher seed is soooo tough to overcome, Cavs might just fold in game 5. But Cavs win and they are right back in it.

Its also important to win in 5 to get Horford some rest before next series. KP probably isn't back right at the start of the ECF so getting Horford some rest is vital.

I think that you have to play Tillman, followed by Queta.
Porzingis is Out, Kornet is Injured, and Horford is battling Father Time.
