dare we speculate

I got a bad feeling about tonights game. I think they are riding too much on "home game history"

call me pessimistic but i haven't seen anything to be confidant about yet for this series. You could say their second win but that was trumped back in Cleveland.


Good luck C's, I'll be watchin.

Doc Rivers should be fired if the C's lose to the Cavs.

KG should strap them on and hit the boards, he has no inside game.
I think they are done?

I'm not quitting on them, just hoping for the best.
Home court has been this way for most all teams.

Lebron is all they say and more, when he got 3 fouls last game and sat the end of the 1st 1/2, the Celts tied it up in minutes.

IMHO KG is playing out of his sneakers, his #'s in the playoffs are better than the regular season.

Ray Allen needs to get out of his funk, and if he can't score I hope he can at least shut down the oft injured Wally Z.

We haven't lost at home yet, and if we keep that up we'll be drenched in Green in a few weeks.

GO CELTS!!!!!!!!

i don't have a good feeling either, I'm actually starting to think cav's in 6. i'm also starting to turn on Doc - what the hell was davis doing on the floor in the 4th? And why so quick to yank rondo, yet so patient with Cassel?

i think they have to stop putting all of their defensive efforts on lebron. let pierce or posey play him straight up, and let perk or leon foul him (hard) when he gets around them. basically let him try to beat you, while keeping the rest of the team defended. keep kg more inside so he can get a rebound or two. if ray can't keep up with walley (what's he gonna be like the next two years on those legs?) then get him out and play posey. Posey plays much better d and is comparable on o the way ray is playing in the playoffs. Plus posey can defend lebron and maybe pierce will have more energy for the other end of the floor.

almost shut it off. rondo hit some HUUUUUUUUGE 3's closing the half.

I have to say it. Lebraun James is unbelievable. I want to say he's a selfish ball hog that plays for himself but it's just not the case. He is one hell of a player.

23 first half points. yikes.

glad i was wrong. stressful last few minutes though, don't know what they were thinking shooting 3's down the stretch. if Rondo can keep playing like that, they have a shot.

Lebron is really embarrassing Pierce....grabbing the ball right out of his hands like he was a child. Celts are making it a tough LOVE. I still can't believe they won that game, the way the momentum was going, they shouldn't have had a chance. Hopefully they GET the lead and MAINTAIN the lead in the next game. I think/hope Lebron shot his wad last night and is less of a factor for the next one -


Go Celtics ~

Yeah, he came through last night, but I still think he's a little over-confident and takes some pretty crazy ?? shots&drives ?? when he should be passing it off at times.
