Second Round Celts/Cavs

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?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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




Kevin!!!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

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.
