With 15 seconds left in a tie game you work the ball around killing time but hoping the ball movement opens up a lane for the drive to the basket. The defender either lets you go and you score with a layup and win or he has to foul you and you win at the line. To just stand there for 15 seconds and throw up a long range bomb is stupid when you have a guy like Pierce who can drive the lane against the best of them.

Just a huge disappointment as any kind of rational move would have won that game and then its 2-2. Oh well , all we can hope for is another good game to watch.

In MIA, I don't think we'll stand a chance.

That was the most frustrating ending ever!!!

How many open shots did they pass up in the last couple of minutes!!! Only to pass them up and become a turnover.

Once it went to OT I knew they were going to loose.

It is too bad what happened to Rondo because he was not himself having protect his left arm.

Yes , besides the 15 second total screw up , they gave the ball away about 6 or 7 times at the end of the 2nd quarter and again in the 4th quarter. Another thing I find totally amazing is that they blew miami off the court on Saturday by going down low to Garnett and yet they didn't do that at all last night.

I think if they started using their heads they could dominate miami and make a comback (never say die!) but if they keep playing like retards then I guess they have an early end to the season. What an oppurtunity though to go all the way with LA out of the picture already.

Once again they fall apart in the end of the game! Lots of turnovers and missed shots. Very frustrating!

Last 4:30 it was a 16-0 Miami run. Lebron was absolutely on fire the end of the game, not much you could do to stop him.

With Lebron and Wade playing as well as they did it was just too much for Celts to overcome.

The NBA and their crooked refs gave the Celtics every opportunity possible. Even with David Stern stacking the odds to force a Game 6, the Celtics couldn't finish.

Celts just fell back to the outside shot and it hasn't worked against the Young 3.
The Old 3 are going to see some changes in the offseason.

Don't know what game you were watching?

Every single time Wade drove to the hoop he got a call. It was nuts sometimes he would force the contact and the call would still be against the C's.

I watched all the Celtics games and while I think its was mostly good officiating I do think Pierce got screwed on the ejection and that Wade got away with murder the whole series. I have definitely seen worse ref performances in the past.

All things considered , I think we just got trounced by a team who was better than us now. I think the mid season Celtics could have beaten the playoff Miami team but we were too beat up by the end of the season. Its tough to get old! :)

Miami or Chicago for the East champion?

My money is on Chicago....

That's fine by me, as long as lebron loses, i'm good with that.

The way Lebron and Wade are playing I don't see anyone beating Miami.

point guard and inside play + home = chicago in six.
now if danny can figure out how to get dwight howard and kevin love, we'll be all set.

Miami. In fact Miami all the way to the NBA Championship IMO.

I guess LeBron deserves a ring-finally.

I was very surprised to see what a dirty playing sneak Wade is. I never realized that before.
