NBA Playoffs anyone?

Never liked the Celtics (even less so now that I'm up in New England) and I know a lot of people inside the NBA don't care for them either. :tongue And the smiley is in Celtic green.

Go Celtics!!!!! I enjoyed every minute, especially the last two when Cleveland quit. LeBron wouldn't look bad in green in the Gah-den next year......great coach, great PG, veteran cast, what's not to like.

I did not understand the anti-Lebron statements after game 5; I thought it was stupid and just the media making up a story. Let's be honest, there hasn't been much excitement for the playoffs until this "Lebron might be a failure" angle. I thought that was a poor way to treat a guy who is such a talent.

But, after tonight's game, I'm not sure what to think. I felt like the coaching decisions were horrible. I thought Jamison didn't fit in with what they were trying to do. O'Niel was playing so many minutes when it has been years since he could play on that level for 30+ minutes a game.

It looks like it might just be a repeat of last year's finals. This offseason for the NBA is the one that everyone has been talking about; let's see if it lives up to its hype.


agree. granted he certainly layed an egg in game 5. and sure, stars have bad games but that was just the worst spot for it and he didn't seem to do things to help himself get thru a bad game (take more than 4 shots in the first half, keep driving the lane cuz he WAS getting to the line). and yes, you get the glory so it's on you when you lose.

but agree about the overkill on "lebron's a failure/choker/whatever!"

their coach SUCKS. JJ Hickson started 70 games and then fell completely out of the rotation in the playoffs. the whole rotation got yanked around. giving Shaq and Z big minutes just played into Boston's hands. Jamison wasn't used right, beside the fact that he cant defend KG. Mo Williams is overrated and was a marginal signing at best. sadly Varajao is still their 2nd best player.

Go Celtics!!!!! They pushed Orlando to 7 last year without KG. IT should be a good series. Big Baby needs to bring it again like he did last year against Orlando.

This just proves what I've always said: When you cheat-win by traveling against the Wiz, and aren't humble about winning by cheating, and then follow that up the next year by getting yours and everyone's favorite rapper to make a song dissing the D.C. team that you only beat the previous year by traveling, you are only playing yourself by cursing yourself.....4 life. Lebron, Deshawn Stevenson's ghost will follow you to hell! Wizards mutha*****!

Celtics Pride!!!

I LOL'd.

Hopefully the Celtics don't blow a 3-0 lead like the Bruins. Sadly this is looking a lot like the Bruins collapse, game 4 goes to OT...lose on a nail biter. I totally see this happening it would be Boston folk lore for years to come. 2 Boston teams in the same year eliminated from the playoffs after holding 3-0 leads.

Here's a quote from D. Howard, "Look I may need a rest earlier than usual tonight," he told the man who (he) likes to call "Stanley. I’m going to go as hard as I can..." Shouldn't you be going as hard as you can every night????

The Celts played bad, poor ball movement, too much standing around watching 1-on-1s, shot poorly from 3pt land (piss-poorly not counting Allen's 3s late in the 4th & OT) and it still took OT for the Magic to win. No cause for alarm, watch for a refocused Cs on Wed. and a closeout in Orlando.

I pray you are right! I hate nail biters and I hate staying up to midnight and then they lose so I go to bed pissed off and don't sleep well.
