"We'll find that out later," Rivers said when asked how his team will play. "I've been in a lot of shootarounds where I looked up at the coaches and said 'we're in trouble or we look great' and the game comes and it's different. I really don't think you get a sense of your team. You know they will be ready. How they perform and all that stuff, we'll have a lot to do with that and other team will have a lot to do with that as well."
Rivers said all 14 players will be available to play, including Ray Allen, who showed up early to shootaround to get in extra shooting and Paul Pierce, who was receiving treatment during the media session.
"If you would have told me before the playoffs started that you could have a Game 7 to decide to go to the Finals, we would have taken it and we didn't care where you played it," he said. "So in a lot of ways, we love being here."
Così Rivers nell'intervista di poco fa. In effetti niente da perdere, quel che viene è tutto qualcosa in più del prevedibile.
Chris Bosh non ci sarà al 90%.
Garnett ha provato a lungo cercando di trovare la......giusta misura.
E anche lui ha preparato l'impegno di stasera con molta tranquillità:
"It's what it is," Garnett said about the must-win situation Boston finds itself in. "Game 7, spilled milk. Can't cry over it. Just hate that that opportunity slipped through our hands at home where we play so well. ...
"Nothing's been easy up until this point, so can't expect it now. It's what it is, so we're gonna take these cards, and we're gonna play 'em. Lot of confident guys in here, lot of guys who've been through Game 7s, a lot of experienced guys so we're gonna lean on that and we're gonna fight. A bunch of fighters in this locker room. See what we do."
"A bunch of fighters", grande
Sa bene che potrebbe essere l'ultima apparizione dei "Fab Big Three" con la stessa maglia, ma intanto si gioca e ancora una volta per una posta molto alta.
Niente hp per me, anche se lo considero ottima occasione. Il motivo sempre il solito: non posso tirare la sconfitta nello spread. Preferisco mettere un cip sul m.l.
BOSTON CELTICS

). Direi che Boston ha lasciato il segno su questo lustro, un anello, una finale persa a gara7 e chi se la ricorda deve ammettere che, se esistesse, era un tie.
