Celts

[ProfessorM]

Can we please get a little props for the defense. The defense was a major reason Lebron and the Cavs had such a tough go of it. I am sick of hearing about he had a bad series and they, Cavs, didn't play up to their potential . Lebron this and Lebron that. The D had a lot to do with it.
Looking forward to the next round. Going to be a tough series but I wouldn't put it past them to win.

I thought Lebron played well. almost 30 points and 20 rebounds , 10 assists. Can't expect more than that from a guy. The Celtics are just a better team. Pierce was in foul trouble from the get go on cheap calls I thought. His fourth foul was invisible! He played good for the time he had but I think he maybe got 10 minutes?

KG played really well on both ends. Orlando may be the team that beat them last year but last year they didn't have KG. I think it changes everything. Should be a good series .

Turnovers are killer in the playoffs and Lebron had like 10 or something like that. That almost negates hi scoring. Pierce is going to have to to show up at some point if they're going to have a shot agains the Magic.

One real positive is the skill and intensity level that Perkins, Davis and Tony Allen have risen to in this series. Even with Pierce having an off night the offense stepped up and the defense had Lebron's number for most of the night.

Bring on Orlando!

Perk plays Howard very well (if they allow him to play). Tony Allen's energy was huge against the Cavs.

I don't see a huge series for Pierce. Matt Barnes plays him very tough, almost as well as Artest does and we know how that is. Artest is in his head ever since he pulled his shorts down.

That said, this is a series the Celts can win.

We beat "D-Wade" and "The King/Chosen One/MVP/blah blah blah".
Now it's time to kill "Superman"

Totally agree.

And I forgot the KUDOS to T.A.. Man hes got energy and brings it to the unit on the court.

I noticed that the "talking heads" could not stop talking about Lebron the WHOLE FREAKIN GAME........ Geeeeezzzzz.
