2008 Boston Celtics Playoff Game thread

[MANNYHOF24]

Tip at 8:30 tonight, first round should be a breeze. Still excited though. Go Celts!

[TheKilo]

In the blink of an eye the Celtics extend a single digit lead to 16. Up 14 now.

[YanksHater213]

this series is gonna be a joke

[MANNYHOF24]

Celts by 11 after 1. Hopefully they can keep it up.

[The Dustball]

Haha the celtics are completely dominating right now. 73-39 with two minutes left in the third quarter

[26 to 6]

this series is gonna be a joke

good joke

[yeszir]

So I guess the Celtics are clearly the better team

[MANNYHOF24]

Celtics blow the piss out of Atlanta on to the Cavs.

[Cocos Disciples]

I got last minute tix dropped in my lap, it was f***in awesome. Beat the Cavs.

[schillingouttheks]

good joke

 

Hindsight's nice, eh?

[Cocos Disciples]

Tix on sale now

 

EDIT: And to think, if I had money I'd have Loge box for Game 1 and Club seats for Game 2. (I was just seeing what I could get on the site, got through 2 of 3 times).

LOWLNED

[YanksHater213]

i went to games 2 and 7... amazing experience, especially today, the garden was absolutely rockin', from 6 minutes before the tip all the way through the end of the game.

 

goin to game 5 next series (provided no sweep take place)

[See Red]

Celtics were clearly the better team, but I'd be worried about their issues on the road all of a sudden. Wonder how this series would've played out if KG had been suspended as he should have. Game 5 would've been an awful lot closer.

[26 to 6]

Hindsight's nice' date=' eh?[/quote']

yeah lol. I'm not gonna lie, I was pulling for the Celtics (The only Boston team I would ever consider pulling for on some cases), but it got a little scary. Atlanta had no business making it that close.

The Boston Three Party is unstoppable

 

In case no ones seen it:

Well s*** that didnt work, can anyone help me with that youtube feature?

[Mr Crunchy]

a team that wins by an average of 25 points at home and then loses 3 road games against a s*** club like atlanta will have a hard time beating the cavaliers in a 7 game set.

why do they allow 100+ on the road while stifling them defensively at home?

they seem to have lost a bit of swagger and confidence in rondo as he was on the pine friday night in crunch time as sam cassell got the ball instead.

i dont like the confusion and panic

doc rivers kevin garnett and paul pierce have never won s*** in their entire careers

pierce played on 1 of the most talented basketball teams in ncaa history as his 96 jayhawks had 8 pros on that roster

they didnt make the final 4 1x in his 4 years.

rivers as a player had to go thru boston detroit chicago and other clubs that were better

as a coach he had oppurtunity in orlando and failed there

garnett played on a decent wolves team that had a chance to do some good things.

they really failed

7 straight 1st round exits and 1 trip to the conference finals is his resume in minneappolis.

that s*** dont fly here,we dont politely clap when getting eliminated by lesser teams.

anything less than a trip to the finals will be considered a disappointment after winning 66 games during the season.

I agree.

 

I also fear that the dissapointment you speak of is coming. The Celts showed their flaws in those away games.

They showed them, but this isn't the same Celtics team from two years ago. I feel like this team will take those flaws and feed off of them. They're not going to roll over and die. I can't wait to see Garnett's intensity out there against Lebron.

 

Its kind of like the Red Sox in 2004. Not to explicitly draw the comparison, they're not at all the same, but whenever we expected them to choke they did exactly the opposite.

[yeszir]

Odds on Celtics tickets becoming impossible to come by next year?

hold home court

 

maybe sneak one out on the road

 

thats all they gotta do

 

if delonte boobie and wally are hitting their perimeter shots, say good bye

Aside from both teams being from Boston, how the hell did you connect those dots? When did anyone expect them to choke?

[The Dustball]

Celtics with a 10 point lead after 1 quarter. Rondo and KG are in the zone

[The Dustball]

Ugly second quarter. Way too many missed oppurtunities and Allen and Pierce have been non-factors. C's by 4 at half.

[See Red]

Cavaliers have to feel pretty good right now. Tied in the third and Lebron has been very un-Lebron-like from the field.

[The Dustball]

pretty sloppy game tonight, hopefully Allen can snap out of it because he will be important if the celtics are going to be able to pull this one out

[TheKilo]

Doc Rivers is beyond awful. How is Posey on the bench right now?

[Cocos Disciples]

Jesus, tied with 39 seconds. Crazy.

[The Dustball]

KG coming up clutch!
