Sean Grande, the voice of the Boston Celtics, joined Chris & Co. with Jason Ross Tuesday to help preview Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Celtics.

On Monday, the Denver Nuggets swept the Los Angeles Lakers to punch their first ticket as a franchise to the NBA Finals. Will the Heat follow suit or will the Celtics live to fight another day?

Topics discussed include:

  • If the Celtics’ Game 3 performance was surprising
  • The Miami Heat roster is “committed” to the way they play
  • Are the Celtics built to survive an elimination game?
  • “No one in their right mind is going to say the Celtics are going to come back and will be the first team to do it. They probably have, by statistical definition, the best chance of anyone that’s ever had to try to do it to do it because of the talent they have, because they have the two home games.”
  • Will there be changes to the Boston Celtics coaching staff and front office in the offseason?
