O Captain! my Captain.

Incredible performance by Pierce. That’ll be forever remembered by Celtics History

That’s probabvly the best all-around game I’ve seen him play. They needed every bit of it too.

P5 – Paul “Playoff Pressure Phenom” Pierce.

to quote the most dominant big man of all time:

“Paul Pierce is the (expletive) Truth!”

…but the whole team was great today, House and PJ also made huge contributions…

Pierce was incredible but a lot of credit to Doc rivers and staff. The rotations were solid, both House and PJ provided the spark that this team desperately needed. Bring on Detroit.

If Eddie House got 2 billion Tommy points then P.J. Brown deserves upwards of 5 billion. I will be handling the negotiations.

Has anyone seen Ray Allen lately? Hopefully he shows up to the game on Tuesday.

One.

Doc finally got it together. It took him seven games.

Wonder if TA gets burn playing defense against Chauncy.

Garnett could have played better tonight. He rebounded with reckless abandon though.

Pierce, Brown, then Doc all get Hondo points tonight..

Anyone else see Lebron head straight to the locker room after the buzzer…not sure he threw a handshake at a single Celtic. All class, that guy.

Does anyone know where I can watch this game online, unfortunately I had to work during the game and missed it. I would really like to watch it, any help is appreciated.

some of us didnt get to watch it… can someone do a mini recap?

who played on who? what was the offense like?

pierce carried us today. without him we lose by 20. ray allen was mia again and garnett while rebounding well did not have a huge game. eddie and pj were juge. rondo played a decent second half but played poor D on west the entire game. eddie shut delonte down but rondo contiuously was beaten off the dribble by delonte, Perk played with passion but comitted his usal assortment of stupid fouls. that guy just doesn’t learn from his mistakes. posey was ok. in the next series I would like to see tony allen get some minutes. ray allen needs to getin therarpy

To me the defining moment of the game for Pierce was the jump ball late in the 4th quarter. The Cavs had a jump ball between Big Z and either Possee or House. The Cavs had all the advantages on a key possession. Pierce cut in front of James and dived for the ball, got it on the floor, and managed to call a time out before anyone could tie him up. It was a pure effort play late in the fourth quarter of a game seven with the season on the line and Celtics up by three. It wasn’t a question of talent or luck. It was pure effort and who wanted it more. When it came time for the nut cutting, Pierce wanted it more than queen James. He just had more desparation than James. All those years of losing and irrelevent made getting that ball mean more to Pierce than it did to James and Pierce got it. That is the difference in the game. It just meant more to Pierce and Garnett than it did to the chosen one.

Yes, it could have been a great game. However the missed traveling calls on LBJ tainted it a bit. I didn’t mind that the refs let some fouls go both ways but not calling traveling takes away from the game.

We are all witness to the Truth!!!!!!!!

Now that we are past Stern’s messiah, I like our chances a lot more. The officials are a lot less likely to determine the outcome of the game moving forward. Unless not as totally biased as they were with with the messiah on the court. What a disgrace the officiating of this one player has turned into. 3-4 step travels. Rewarded for flopping and flailing and outright faking. I gained a lot of respect for Paul for keeping focused throughout the series in spite of the obvious.

Garnett for the most part stayed inside throughout the game. Even though he didn’t hit every inside shot, the fact that he didn’t defer in the last minutes was great. House, Brown, and Posey showed why Danny went after them.
