While the guys fought hard to come back in a game they trailed in, they didn't have enough to get them over the hump. Patrick and Lucas recap the last couple games of the series, express their disappointment, but also take solace in the fact that a lot of good things happened in Ime Udoka's first season as head coach.

The Celtics take a 3-2 series advantage over the Miami Heat with a resounding second half effort. In the first half, they were kept afloat by Derrick White and Al Horford, and in the second half their stars brought them home. After poor first halves, Jaylen and Jayson really stepped up and played phenomenal in the second half. The Celtics are now one game away from the Finals, but the job is not finished.

The Celtics dominate in a 102-82 victory over the Miami Heat. Behind the bounce back game from Jayson Tatum, they held the Heat to only 33 points in the first half. Derrick white played an amazing game, and Al Horford was amazing regardless of the fact that he only had 5 points. Pat and Lucas recap the whole game here.

The Celtics cannot bring themselves back from a 26 point deficit that the Heat were able to obtain due to a shocking lack of ball security by the Celtics. Credit is due for the Miami Heat defense, with some brilliant adjustments by coach Erik Spolstra. But overall it was the Celtics shooting them selves in the foot in this game. Patrick and Lucas break it down, and try to be Optimistic about looking forward to game 2.FOLKS! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FANTASY OFFSEASON. ONLY THE PRE-DRAFT SEASON!

The Celtics rebound in a strong way, defeating the Miami Heat 127-102 with contributions from up and down the lineup.

The Celtics fall at the hands of Giannis and the Bucks, and maybe the referees as well, in game 3 losing 103-101. The end of the game was chaotic, with the big potentially missed call on a three point attempt by Marcus Smart being called on the floor instead. Alas, there were things that the Celtics could've done to win the game themselves, especially in a rough third quarter. Jayson Tatum looks to rebound in game 4 coming off one of his worst playoff games so far in his early career.SUBSCRIBE on iTunes and follow @ethosceltics for Celtics updates all season long!Manscaped is BACK, baby!
