WHO DOESN\u2019T LOVE A LITTLE BIT OF ADVERSITY COMING FROM BOSTON. IT\u2019S GAME TWO. WE LIKE A LITTLE ADVERSITY HERE IN BOSTON. SO THEY\u2019RE ALL GOING TO FALL IN DOWN THE LINE. LET\u2019S WIN THREE IN A ROW AND GET IT DONE. TOUGH LOSS TONIGHT. SICK THAT I\u2019M LOSING. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. BUT WE\u2019RE GOING TO GET BACK. WE\u2019VE SEEN OUR MISTAKES. WE\u2019VE SEEN WHAT WE NEED TO WORK ON. AND WE WILL GET BETTER. AND WE WILL DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO. NOW A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS TO BE MADE, BUT FANS ARE READY FOR THE ADVERSITY AND A BATTLE IN PHILADELPHIA. AND WHILE THE ENERGY WAS WICKED LOW, LEAVING THE GARDEN TONIGHT, FANS TELL ME THEY ARE STILL CONFIDENT THIS TEAM IS GOING TO SHOW UP FOR A GAME FIVE SERIE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
