Celts

If they get by this feisty Chicago team do any of you give them any chance against Cleavland or LA or even their would be next opponent if they get there, with out Garnett and Leon. They just look too vulnerable and I can't see them matching up with either of the 2 big boy teams very well. But anything can happen.

I'm hopeful but not that confident with Leon and KG out.

Last nights game was good considering how tired both teams were, as usual though but unlike game 6 the referees last night were horrible. Henrich falls down with Pierce 6 feet away and they call a foul on him? wtf I thought Tommy was going to have an anurism right there on the sidelines And how did Perk get a T called when all he did was get hammered and walk away?WTF I hope he contests that one, maybe he dropped an f bomb but gimme a break ref. I hope they don't get that crew again. Eddie House was huge.

I just hope Rondo is feeling better and gets his energy back, they need him.

Unfortunately, I dont think the Celts have a shot against the Magic... as much as I would like to see them win.

1) Perk is the only one who can match up with Dwight... if he gets in foul trouble, we are screwed! Scal and Miki "I was I could foul" Moore wont be able to help us down low.

2) They can stretch the floor with size. Their front line, Howard, Lewis and Turk are all big bodies who can run the pick and roll well. Lewis and Turk are matchup problems for us on the perimeter. I think lewis is going to have a huge series vs us.

3) I know this sounds funny, but my bud plays for Orlando... Anthony Johnson... and in his career, he is 3-0 against the Celtics in the playoffs.(with the Pacers once, and twice with the Nets). Hope we can get by the "AJ" curse this year.


I think the celts will win game one, but fall in six. Marbury needs to become a scorer again if we are going to have a chance.

Oh, and if we could bring back Robert Parish, it wouldnt hurt either.

Yea some of the calls last night were HORRIBLE ....
And come...... the bulls bench is yelling behind House's ear and they call Eddie for taunting......Freakin moron refs......

Honestly, I don't think the celts will get too much further, but they may get past Orlando. (in 7)......(maybe).........

I predict Clevland to win the championship this year. Hope I'm wrong. If we KG and Powe the bulls seeries would have been over in 4-5, and we would be going to the finals......

I think they will get by Orlando but have no chance against Cleveland. If they had KG I think the Cleveland series would be a toss up.

Down by 30 and still only lose by 5...

That shows they can beat this team..
Hopefully they will pull it together for the next game.

Much cleaner game though, good to see.

I don't know guys? Doesn't look good. If it it goes 7 they might have a chance but how many 7 games series can they handle? They looked like a team with no legs last night.

Too little too late. Like Pierce said postgame, you can't wait to be down 25 to start playing.

I was worried about fatigue going into the game, but they just seemed out of sync. On the plus side Marbury looked better.

They are making a comeback after down 20.
and Perk looks pissed !!!
He and Davis each have 5, don't think we are going to make it.

They still look a bit flat.

KEEP HOUSE IN THERE !!!!!!

Refs tried t make Pierce invisible last night. Was it me or did the officiating suck?

Officiating has been piss poor for a lot of the play-off games....

Ask Dallas what they think of the Officiating.......they got majorly screwed Saturday

Copy that,,, that no-call on Saturday cost Dallas the game. Amazing !!

I kept saying the refs are doing their best to let Orlando win (just like they did with Chicago). Plus the call on Pierce when Orlando was inbounding. A player sticks his leg out, trips Pierce and they call it on him.

Thank god for BIG BABY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an ending......

Atleast they pulled it off at the end, whew that was close.

Ya the refs sucked again, they missed some calls both ways but most seemed to go Orlando's way. They call way too many ticky tack fouls, and why the hell don't they call travelling when guys clearly travel after dribbling, they sometimes make clearly 3 steps and get away with it
game 5 will be a great one I'm sure.
