Celtics In 6

Laker’s in 7. I just have a bad feeling that with Rando hurting this could spell the end for the C’s. Pierce played well from what I understand and had 8 assists but he isn’t a point guard. Perk I guess is more important than we all though and I understand KG was terrible.

Maybe one X factor from what I understand is that if Mr. Alan #42 has a hell of a game Tues that could be huge. Being is Dubai sucks for watching these games but if they do lose I won’t be back until August to face the pain. If the Celtics squander a 3-1 lead,,,this franchise faces a long road back to the top if they ever get there.

One silver lining is that Doc would have to be fired and Tom Thibbeou(spelling) might get the job.

I think it’s over for the C’s

The Boston Celtics will win in 6. Paul Pierce is unstoppable by the Lakers or anyone right now. He is playing out of his mind, not getting enough credit in the press and is going to lead his team to the promised land…FINALLY!! Look for a big game by Leon Powe on Game 6. You heard it hear first!!

Not sure how you can say it wasn’t a choke when KG clanking the free throws off the rim with the game on the line was nothing but a choke.

i am not pessimistic, but i would feel a whole lot better if people weren’t hurt. ( and ray’s child ). hopefully with the inspiration of the home crowd they come to play at the beginning. pp is the team mvp right now and kg looks a bit lost. i hope he can retain his composure, tenacity, and shot. please kg, try and get in the low blocks. is it the ankle, or is rondo having decision making problems?

What the Celtics have been doing right isn’t going to stop. And when surrounded by a jeering Boston crowd, the Lakers, an emotionally weak team, are going to start wilting as soon as they see some questonable call go against them. Boston in six.

I think with Perk hurting it’s time to throw Big Baby into the mix. He should be fresh as a daisy and hungry as a bear out of hibernation. He’s the only one left on the bench other than Scalabrine who has yet to make a contribution, I believe his time has come. Game 6, Big Baby Davis, come on down.

no kidding, i’m praying you’re right! Just a little nervous, especially with injuries mounting.

Lot of negativity today. The C’s had a realistic chance of taking 2/3 on the road in the NBA finals. They are without a doubt going to take 1 of 2 at the Garden this week. I think everyone is forgetting how beneficial our home court has been thus far.

I don’t have a gun! They’re banned in Dubai. GBB cannot guard Lamar Odom he simply too fast for Glen. I don’t know what they will do if Perk can’t come back. I think Tony Allen should be looked at a little at the 1 with Ray. 4 assists a piece could work then again Tony and his turnovers. Rajon must be really hurting.

Great points Dybdal. we are a wounded animal with all the injuries (though I think with Rondo it’s more in his head than in his ankle). The Lakers though will have to overcome their own road issues to win this and I have a difficult time seeing that happen.

I caught Michael Cooper on the local (LA) ABC7 news after the game. He said w/ great confidence that the LA Fakers are about to make NBA history, and last night’s game was the first step. He believes that the Fakers will win Games 6 & 7 in Boston.

Can’t wait to prove him wrong!!!!

It’s too bad that Kobe’s steal atr the end was a foul.

Agreed. Kobe’s steal was a total hack job on Paul. Also two very questionable calls on Garnett keeping him out of the game for extended periods of time. No Garnett and no Perkins made it all to easy to penetrate in the paint and also allow the Lakers to pull down offensive boards. We miss you Perk! I’m hoping Perkins is ready for Game 6 and we ice this thing at home. Go C’s.

Celts need to stop digging themselves a hole in the 1st quarter, hoping being at home with help with this. In the last 2 games they have gone on nice runs which only allowed them to close the deficit rather than building on a lead! We need to stay aggressive and take it to the hole, the Lakers have proved they can’t stop it. The GAAHDEN will be nuts on Tuesday night!

I was disappointed that BBD didn’t play, and that Powe was benched after just a couple of minutes. IMHO PJ Brown was mediocre at best. I would also rather have seen House in the 4th quarter than Cassell.

Everyone has been gushing about Doc’s coaching, but I just don’t see it. He made a move in game 4 (House) that he should have been making in EVERY game and somehow it was great coaching.

I agree with Brick only I can’t watch the games. So I should say I agree that if these are the moves Doc should not be making and is and we lose this series. It’s Doc’s job on the line. Normally I would agree with GBB but other then his height of 6’7" at best, his wing span doesn’t exist. Perk is 6’9.5" but has a 7’ 4" inch wing span if I remember correctly. I think GBB would give us more offensively and is probably heavier and could actaully be stronger but his defense won’t be there.

The PG situation, you know, I don’t know I hope Rondo’s game comes back and then you supplement him but if not,,,we are in trouble.

Laker’s win the 7 game series

so 3 fifths of our starting lineup is injured, one has a serious family health issue and the other is unreliable in pressure situations.

and we’re supposed to be optimistic that we can take one of two from LA?

A team with No Perk, a Rondo with no quickness, a Pierce who’s knee could give out at any second, an understandably distracted RayRay, and a frightened KG isn’t going to win 1 in 4 against the Lakers let alone 1 in 2. Please please please please please for the love of god let me be wrong. I’ve been wrong so many times. Why not now?

If you think Kobe’s big play on Pierce was a foul (as I did initially) then you simply haven’t gone back and watched it repeatedly in slow motion. Kobe was extremely lucky with his timing, but he got all ball and there was no foul.

(Now if you want to talk about how later, Kobe wasn’t called for traveling when he fell to the floor in the corner and then passed the ball off: then I’ll listen to the gripe.)

Jeez, it’s on thing to be nervous, I’m nervous! It’s another thing to be pessimistic. But it’s a WHOLLY different thing to be picking the Fakers to win! Banish such talk from her, negative energy no one needs.

Besides, some of this hang-wringing doesn’t even make sense. Ray is automatically going to have a bad game because of a family crisis, I seem to remember MJ’s father being murdered and he was able to lead the Bulls to title #3 in the aftermath. Paul pours in 38 but is ready for a wheelchair? KG has a bad game and he is scared now?
