Celtics Fans?

[sssmokin]

I love the Celtics. Ray Allen was, is, and always will be my favorite player. I disowned the Bucks when they let him get away. I also like Sam Cassell when he was on the Bucks. Not too bad of a back-up point guard to have. And Garnett..............what a great player who was stuck in Minnesota all those years. He deserves a ring. Pierce has been phenomenal this year..........and what's really important.........they're unselfishly playing as a TEAM. Kobe is great, but I hate the Lakers.

Great game! Pierce comes back and scores 19 in 2nd half. It's a shame the games are on so late here. I jumped up yelling when Garnett threw down the Posey miss at the end. Talk about putting it down with authority.

I was dead asleep when the game ended, had to get up this morning and see how it finished. One for the good guys, 3 to go.

yea i fell alseep too.. but that was nice ass dunk garnett put down off the rebound

Well, despite almost accomplishing the biggest blown lead in history... not a bad game. I had to call my brother at halftime. I said "you never told me Rondo could throw the rock down". That was cool, Rondo dunked on the fast break. Powe was throwing a few down himself. He laid one in the 1st time and then was like "F-it" I think. He was taking advantage of the double teams and Lakers in foul trouble with some real agressive drives to the rack. Very pleased so far. I expect the Lakers to pick it up big time in LA. 2-0 is a big, big deficit though. I can't see the Celtics losing 4 of the next 5 games.

All the Celts need to do is take one in L.A. I would love to see a sweep, but I do not think that is going to happen. Just take one win in L.A. and come home and close it out in game 6.

What about them losing 3 out of the next 4?

[ezra76]

Not worried yet. They played a $hit game and still had a chance to win it. I was disgusted in the 1st and 2nd quarter. I was yelling at the TV. Everytime down the 1st pass is to a total non-ballhandler (Garnett) who wants to face up at 23' and clear out... WTF? If you are going to go face up and clear out you have to take the guy off the dribble. If not, stay in the GD high post and find a cutter if you get doubled. Now they were left, as usual, with Garnett firing up jumpers from 20' and no rebounders, they all cleared out and boxed out from any chance at an off. reb..

They need to start running more plays and get Pierce touches 1st option. Run Allen off baseline screens with either Garnett or Perkins on a screen roll. Pierce should be the only guy on the team going face up on a clear out play.

What do you think about that comeback!! Amazing!!

[West Coast Duffer]

Great comeback, one of the greatest in history and one of the greatest choke jobs in history. I luv it when Kobe loses!

We just gotta work on the NFL ref's to love the Pats.


Fabulous game! By the time I fell asleep I thought I would wake up with the series tied at 2. We got the win in L.A. this bodes well for hanging up number 17 in the Gahden next fall.

Lakers gave that away more than anything. I really hope this makes Kobe realize he isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is.

Well, if Kobe played a decent game, the Lakers would have won... Way to step up Kobe

[West Coast Duffer]

Get ready to hear Kobe rip his teamates and management in the offseason and want better players.
