Gotta say I am a little pumped to watch the second round series! Having not watched much basketball since the glory days turned to crap (about 20 years) I am a little amped! Anyone else gonna be tuning in?

key is to stop the rest of the team. lebraun can have his 35 but if the rest don't get shut down it will be trouble

As long as they pound the ball inside constantly and get to the line they have a very good chance with their defense.

key is to foul lebron all the time with bench boys :)

Celts are much better balanced offensively and they have the leagues best defense......as it was said.....give King James his 40 and let the Cavs cave in! Chamberlain once scored 100 points in a game and lost!

They won like 169 to 150 or something like that. He went to the line about 33 times too if I remember.

Here you go

He was 36 for 63, jeez that is more attempts than most get in a few games. How he missed that many when all he did was his patented big dipper is beyond me.

I must be thinking of someone else scoring a bunch of points and losing....maybe it was Jordan scoring 63 I think??

look at the stilt at 17

He was good but not as good as BR

I just hope the officiating is balanced..Atlanta got to the line far more than the Celts did...

Boy you aren't kidding. Those games in Atlanta were horrible. The Celts knew it too. They just tried to keep chopping away.

You guys have hit it right on the head. Give James his 40 pts., put the rest in the freezer. Ray Allen has to really step it up, its an opportunity for him to eat Sczerbiak

Ben Wallace is

the worst free throw shooter in NBA history (for players with 1000+ attempts)!

I'm glad Lebron didn't show up, I'm not sure who they dressed up in his uniform, he did look alot like Lebron but definately a body double....Thank Goodness!!
They needed this 1st one at home, and BOY!!...they just barely squirrelled it away. It's going to be an interesting series......Allen = 0 :huh:




:thanks: Kevin!!!!

Allen and Pierce would have been better off in the stands selling popcorn tonight!!!:lurk:

Could Pierce really have just been intimidated by James??? :huh:...Gosh, I hope not. :gorez:

Pierce had a much better game than his stats would indicate. He (along with Perkins and Posey) did an excellent job of defending James. When he wasn't on the bench with his early foul trouble, he was all over James. I'd rather see Pierce scoring 4 points and holding James to 12 than have Pierce scoring 20 and James scoring 35.

DING~DING~DING~DING!!!

and we have a WINNER!!!!

exactly right, fishbones. and does anyone think that Allen AND
Pierce are gone keep firing blanks?? you keep Lebron to 2 FG's
a game and this series will be over before it starts.............

unlikely, but possible!! LOVE that DEE FENCE!

The really amazing things is that Chamberlain was a horrible foul shooter all of his life, but that night I think he was something like 28 for 32.

I would not bet on King James having another "%$%$%$%$ night tomorrow night! I am thinking he is gonna rip off a big game.....after all.....he is a great player and thats what they usually do after a poor playoff performance! Hold on kiddies!;)
