Win

[YanksHater213]

Rondo's time to shine.

[TheKilo]

This team is in trouble. Derrick Rose is by far the best player on the court right now.

[YanksHater213]

I'm not worried yet. Everyone knew Chicago would score points, we just need Jesus to start knocking his s*** down and stop messing around.

[TheKilo]

Pierce played like garbage in the first half

[J-Beck]

This team is in trouble. Derrick Rose is by far the best player on the court right now.

 

I agree. This is not the same team that had the best record in the NBA for much of the season.

 

I'm starting to worry that they might not make it out of the first round, which would be one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory.

[Cocos Disciples]

Down by 9 at the half; certainly not an insurmountable deficit, but not something you want to start a series with.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I'm not concerned. We'll play better as the series goes on.

[Cocos Disciples]

That was fast--Celtics right back in it, I think they got this one.

[J-Beck]

Yeah this is more like it. I wish I could actually watch the game instead of just getting the play-by-play on ESPN.com.

 

Good 3rd quarter so far.

[Dojji]

This team is not going deep into the playoffs.

[J-Beck]

This team is not going deep into the playoffs.

 

Not a chance without KG.

[Dojji]

Interesting. This is the part of the game the coaches and veterans get paid for.

:09.4 BOS 96, CHI 95 - Personal foul on R. Rondo

 

And if I'm reading this right, Rondo just cost us a playoff game.

[J-Beck]

Wow joakim noah... we better make him pay for that

[Dojji]

Thank goodness, Joakim Noah is even stupider.

 

:02.6 BOS 96, CHI 97 - Shooting foul on J. Noah

[Dojji]

Overtime. By the skin of our teeth and a gift from the other team, overtime.

[J-Beck]

Honestly... Pierce is one of our best free-throw shooters then he misses the game winning one.

 

Let's hope we can pull it together in overtime.

[J-Beck]

What a battle between Rondo and Rose.

 

99-99 right now with 3:53 left. 36 for Rose and 29 for Rondo.

[J-Beck]

What a huge disappointment this one was.

 

So many opportunities to win, but just couldn't capitalize.

 

Final (OT):

 

CHI 105

BOS 103

 

Allen certainly didn't help too much, 1-12 shooting including missing the last shot of the game.

But if I'm going to lay the blame on one person I'm going to go with Pierce missing the game winning free throw.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Fail.

 

 

WHY THE f*** WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO RAY ALLEN

[J-Beck]

Fail.

 

 

WHY THE f*** WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO RAY ALLEN

 

Yeah with the game on the line you've gotta get it to Pierce. Although to be fair, we shouldn't have even had that inbound pass seeing as how the ball clearly just rolled off Pierce's hand out of bounds on the previous play.

[YanksHater213]

Fun as hell game, Bulls definitely deserved it. But that doesn't bode well for them in the future. The game was close as hell with Pierce and Allen playing like doo-doo. I certainly still think the Celtics will in this series in 5 or 6, but that was a hell of a statement by the Bulls.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

So? The Celtics players gave Chicago the same number of gifts that the refs gave to us.

[Cocos Disciples]

Bummer. Wish I could have watched, seemed like a great game. Monday is basically a must win.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, not really worried.

[mvp 78]

Fail.

 

 

WHY THE f*** WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO RAY ALLEN

 

They went to Pierce on the previous play and the officials bailed him out when the ball went out of bounds. Ray had a decent look. It just didn't fall.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Ray was 1 for 12. He was ice cold the whole game.

[TheKilo]

Fail.

 

 

WHY THE f*** WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO RAY ALLEN

 

Because he's the best shooter on the team?

 

He had an off night but if Rondo can't stop Rose it doesn't matter.

 

This series is going 6, minimum.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I love how much horseshit I'm getting (not here) for saying Rondo is a better player than Rose. A couple of people (Celtics fans) are even calling me an embarrassment to the Celtic fanbase. I think its hysterical.
