Celts

Advance after last nights win.

If (when) they face the Cavs, I'm not too confident they will make it past them.

At least there is more home team B-ball to watch.

Cavs are beatable if LJ is truly hurting.

Its a tough road ahead. Cavs are going to create some tough front court issues. They have three 7-footers. As to the backcourt, A lot is riding on Ray Allen. If he shows up, we will win. He is a little bigger than their starting 2-guard West who is far from as fast or the defensive player that Dwayne Wade is. I don't know who is going to guard L. James; we would need a Ron Artest or a Tayshaun Prince. We don't have anyone strong or fast enough for the job. Even if they beat the Cav's they still have to plow through Orlando. If we beat those two teams, we will win the Chip. But a lot has to go right, and we have to win at home, and on the road. I hesitate to say this is a challenge that can't be overcome, but I'm being realistic. On the bright side, we are a much better coached team. But we will have to grab boards and move the ball. I'd much rather see us play Atlanta but we squandered that opportunity on those blown games at the season's end.

WTF was that last night?

Looked like the Celts layed down in the fourth.
GEEZZZ, crappy passes, crappy shots.
Not even an attempt to take a quick shot with 1 minute left.

The Cavs are definatley beatable, but I dont understand what that was.

had them right where they wanted and fell apart. Rondo is playing himself into the best guards around. Luv watching him play. Pierce couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. he score we win IMO. Every one needs to be at the top to beat this team. Let one get away.

Unless they totally fall apart this series is tied up now. The Kings elbow looks like it is a problem. Hmmmmmm, new series!

Should be up 2-0.

Funny, LBJ's elbow seemed fine lifting up his MVP trophy.

Clogston pointed out the other night how rediculous Pierce has been with the drawing contact. I hadn't picked up on it but I he embarrassed himself last night with that move. It was hard to watch. Have to agree with Prof M. If Pierce can score the C's should do well. We 100% miss Garnett's dominance but he is a hell of a role player and big baby.....sorry glen seems to step up at times which has filled some of the void. I got pissed last night when TNT didn't have Rondo as one of the top 3 guards in the game but I guess they're right. If he can develop a mid to long range jump shot he moves right up there IMO.

Toggling back between the B's and C's last night was enjoyable. Wish I had some frosties.

Totally think the Cavs can be beat, but after watching this team all season for some reason they don't play as well at home and really don't play well in day games. I don't know their daytime record but I assure you its not good. Those are two factors that dont bode well for this weekend.
Additionally I am sick of hearing about LeBron's elbow. If it was really that bad he would not be slamming the backboard to block shots or any other power moves. He did drop in his first dunk the other night but seemed to do better later. He seemed to shoot fine, drive fine, and even had a few shots with contact.
I will be at both games so if anyone is going shoot me a PM, I am usually at Halftime pizza / Sully's before the game.

Whatever momentum that was gained in the Game 2 win, was lost with the 4 DAY layoff.

NBA Playoff Schedule is a joke. Playoffs started in April and won't end until June.

Strange series so far. Two blowouts, each at home...??

I'm not a hockey fan, but I switched to watching the screen with the Bs. Me and my buds were at a sports bar and MAN was
that place hopping !!

until the OT....

As for the celts, I am skeptical about todays game..

Rondo takes control again. Back to being a series again. Please Paul please show us some offense, we need you.

James does well the Cavs win....James does poorly the Cavs lose.

Rondo was fun to watch. Imagine if he had a killer jump shot.

Good game

Damn this team is tough to figure out!

Great team win. As Garnett said after the game "We cannot come back to Cleveland for a Game 7"

Got that right.

But again,, James does poorly, they lose... period!
They isolated him very well last night.
Keeping the ball out of his hands, he stasy cold.
Talk is he won't stay with Cavs next year.
Maybe a green jersey is in his future.. NAH !!

Will be a sweet win in the Garden......HOPEFULLY......

Big game tonight! Rondo is an exciting player to watch. Pierce had just 1 good game and when he did , the Celtics slaughtered Cleveland.

I honestly think its all determined by how the Celtics play. Whether James plays well or not , the Celtics can beat them if they play well. Another good game by Pierce and thats it.

If the Celts can keep Lebron from "getting" into his groove, they can win the game. If they start "falling back on their heels" as they say in football, the Cavs will run right over them.
