Game 4 of the Eastern Semis will be held in TD Garden on Monday, and Boston Celtics star guard Kyrie Irving vows better communication amongst his teammates. Per Jay King of The Athletic, Irving shared that apart from a loud Boston crowd, there will be lots of talking between him and the Celtics squad.

“It’ll be a lot louder in TD – and not just from the fans. It’ll be from us as well. So you’ll be hearing a lot of talking out there on the floor.”

Though the Celtics are the favorites to win the series given their playoff experience, things are looking bleak for the Brad Steves-led club. Game 4 is a must win for them as they are currently down 2-1. Game 3 was a close duel which ended up with a victory for the Bucks. Both teams played well which shows how evenly matched-up the two are.

But the Celtics might be given a boost by Marcus Smart who's injury status was recently updated to questionable. To recall, Smart suffered a left oblique tear last April 7 in a regular season game against the Orlando Magic. He subsequently missed their entire first round duel with the Indiana Pacers.

In the event that Smart returns, the Celtics will receive an upgrade on defense as the 25-year-old will likely guard the Bucks' best players — Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe.

Game 4 will be on Monday, at 7 p.m. ET.
