celtics, dont give in to peer pressure

[SAtown]

Cavs coming out strong. 14 - 4

[ShoogarBear]

The Cavs' intro video is Uber-Lame.

Good start for them against The Greatest Team of All Time, though.

[SpursFanFirst]

Hey Shoog

[lefty]

The Cavs' intro video is Uber-Lame.

Good start for them against The Greatest Team of All Time, though.

They introduced Big Ben and Bozo showed up :lmao

[SpursFanFirst]

I was just laughing at the Cavs saying that they were going to get swept like last year...and they come out strong. :oops

[ShoogarBear]

Hey Shoog

:toast

[Kriz-Maxima]

Damn, Boston sucks on the road.

[SpursFanFirst]

I guess I was a tad wrong on this game...27-8? Man alive...where is that great Boston D? They have the DPOY, after all.

[Pistons < Spurs]

wow way to show up Boston! 32-13 ...:wow

[SpursFanFirst]

We should be in the chat room...anyone?

[ATXSPUR]

Cavs doing the Ric Flair thing now!!?

[SAtown]

omg did I just hear that Ric Flair shit being played in Cleveland too? WTF

[lefty]

Fucking refs !!!

[SAtown]

LOL nice flop by Lebron.

[ShoogarBear]

ABC/NBA in a conundrum: a Celtic commits a flagrant on LeBron! What to do? What to do?

[Pistons < Spurs]

Queen James.

[SpursFanFirst]

chat room is open for anyone interested. I'm tired of hitting refresh :wakeup

[SAtown]

I'm surprised Mark Jackson didn't go crazy over that Lebron flop. He jumps on the Spurs every chance he gets

[ATXSPUR]

wow....43-17. I hope the Hornets play like the celts are tommorow.

[TampaDude]

43-17 Cavs??? Holy SHIT!!! :lol

[1Parker1]

ABC/NBA in a conundrum: a Celtic commits a flagrant on LeBron! What to do? What to do?

:lol I was just thinking the same thing.

Posey is a dirty player, can't stand the guy. I'd side with Lebron on this one...:)

LOL C'mon! you're can't be that lazy!! In the chat room you have to scroll through crap. Here it's a simple mouse click!

[SpursFanFirst]

Chat Room! Chat Room! Chat Room!

[TampaDude]

Now, let's see if the Cavs can blow a 9-possession lead... :lol

[SpursFanFirst]

lol long time no see, homer. Which bandwagon are you on now?

[ShoogarBear]

C'mon, Cavs, don't let up!

[1Parker1]

Man, and they wonder why NBA tv ratings are low on abc...this game is a dud. Just like Game 2 was Thursday night....

[Pistons < Spurs]

Jeez Boston....This series is going to go on forever, while my Pistons sit at home. I'm not happy bout that. We suck when there's more than 2 or 3 days between games. We lose focus too easily.

[SpursFanFirst]

Oh, all right...I'm sitting at work bored...watching the game. I have an excuse though because it's on our channel.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

[1Parker1]

Oh good, Ben Wallance must have taken some Claranex for those allergies. I was getting worried about him for a minute there!!!

[TampaDude]

C'mon, Cavs, don't let up!

It's hard to stay focused with a huge lead...teams tend to get sloppy...

[ShoogarBear]

Man, and they wonder why NBA tv ratings are low on abc...this game is a dud. Just like Game 2 was Thursday night....
Actually ratings this year for the playoffs have been up 10-15% across the board.

Has nothing to do with style of play, since the Celtics are by far the most boring team out there.

What's the story on Chauncey?

[TampaDude]

The Cavs are up by 26...Doc Rivers calls a timeout...BAM...10-0 run by the Celtics...this is so fucking WWE it's not even funny...

[SpursFanFirst]

Don't tell that to the Spurs :sleep

Yea, but I believe those ratings are for ESPN and TNT games (Cable networks). This is a national game on ABC, and I believe it's the first primetime one for this year's playoffs. They picked a bad game to premere.

[SAtown]

ABC has had about 4-5 playoff games televised IIRC

Edit: Nevermind, you meant primetime

[lefty]

Good job my Mike Brown, involving everybody else instead of having Lebron forcing shots :tu

[Pistons < Spurs]

What's the story on Chauncey?

Haven't heard anything new. But from everything that's been said, I'd be shocked if he didn't play Tuesday. It sounds like the organization thought it best for him to not play today ... and he didn't seem too comfortable/confident with it himself.

It'd be great if we could limit his minutes in that one. Get an early lead, and let him sit!

I'm not too worried about him though.

[TampaDude]

Fucking 24-second violation... :lol

[TampaDude]

If the Cavs have at least a 12-point lead at the half, they will win...if not, the Celtics will win.

[ClingingMars]

Rush Limbaugh Intro Music!!!

- Mars

[TampaDude]

But for a bunch of turnovers by the Cavs, this might very well be a 30+ point blowout right now...

[Phil Hellmuth]

anyone hear the JVG exchange on chinese shops? Mike Breen was getting nervous

[E20]

Judging by the score I thought Lebron would be going off right now.

[ducks]

why james sucks

[ClingingMars]

Bill Russell is such a class act.

- Mars

[Kriz-Maxima]

What a piece of bullshit.

[ClingingMars]

Russell sees Garrent winning 2-3 titles in Boston...I"m wondering how a team is suppose to win a title, even though they can't win a road game?

it's only their first year together...i don't see it this year, but they will definitely win at least ONE title.

- Mars

[SRJ]

Ipecac couldn't make me vomit the way that Russell/Garnett piece just did.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That made me so ill.

I actually lost a tiny bit of respect for Russell to even participate in that bullshit.

[ClingingMars]

What was he supposed to do, turn it down? The guy is all class, but you know he said what he said because there were cameras there.

[lefty]

Fuck ESPN bandwagon

KG will NEVER win a title

[ClingingMars]

let me remind Spurs fans of this:

http://www.nba.com/playoffs2007/news/billrussell_postseason.html

Check out "Quality Basketball" and "On the Spurs and Tim Duncan". The guy knows his basketball.

[Kriz-Maxima]

How many years has Pierce played in Boston?

[tlongII]

Hey ducks! Like that block?

[BonnerDynasty]

lmfao at JVG!

[ducks]

boston sucks on the road
why?
rick should have held out for the gig in boston

[ClingingMars]

Van Gundy is the best!

[Biggems]

That should have been a 24 second violation....it took Big Z the entire shot clock to drive the lane......that was the slowest penetration, not in a porn, that I have ever seen.....the C's D is pathetic. There was enough time to build the great wall of China in front of the rim to keep Z out.....

[ATXSPUR]

it's only their first year together...i don't see it this year, but they will definitely win at least ONE title.

- Mars

KG's window is closing quickly. I'm 19 years old and he was playing when I was in 4th grade...so think about that for a bit.

[SpursDynasty]

I am so sick of the league being handed to LeBron.

[ShoogarBear]

Masterful flop by Cassell.

[lefty]

Mike Breen is such a douchebag : " hard to tell from that angle "

Of course, JVG slammed him :lmao

[ATXSPUR]

Cavs need to finish this in the 4th.

[Biggems]

Big Z reminds me of that white boxer Cooney....

He is big and awkward and clumsy, but he fights his butt off till the end. He may not always win, but he gives you everything is feeble body will give.

[Biggems]

r u sure that is a pic of peja in ur sig.....looks kinda masculine to be peja

[ducks]

lol james is still shooting 33% for the series
he is so overrated

[TampaDude]

...and the ABC fellating of the Celtics continues...

[TampaDude]

Hack-a-Ben... :lol

[ducks]

4-8 from the strip awesome shooting

[ducks]

Hack-a-Ben... :lol

should be hack a james:lol

[TampaDude]

Boobie with the DAGGER!!!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Nice game Cavs now play the same in game 4.:toast

[ducks]

they will not
west will not play that well next game
and james still is sucking

[TampaDude]

Cavs win...108-84...it's a BLOOOOOWOUT!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Not for NOTING but these "Celtics" have now lost FIVE in A ROW on the ROAD...

Not GOOD

Except the Celtics have HCA throughout the playoffs, so they do not have to win any games on the road. Of course, as soon as a team wins one in Boston, the Celtics are finished.

[Biggems]

Not for NOTING but these "Celtics" have now lost FIVE in A ROW on the ROAD...

means diddly when u see they have won 6 straight at HOME....all they have to do is win their home games. If they go undefeated at home, they win the OBrien. It is flirting with disaster for sure.

[ducks]

cavs played cia with wallace and it worked
boston was not ready for that like fools

[TampaDude]

I heard a stat earlier today that no NBA team has won the title without winning at least 3 games on the road during the playoffs. Just something to think about.

[ATXSPUR]

If you can't win on the road it's a huge problem. I don't give a damn if you have won all your home games and have HCA throughout the playoffs. That's cutting it too damn close and relying on HCA alone is NOT good.

[TampaDude]

If you can't win on the road it's a huge problem. I don't give a damn if you have won all your home games and have HCA throughout the playoffs. That's cutting it too damn close and relying on HCA alone is NOT good.

Yup...as soon as the Celtics lose one at home (and it WILL happen), they're done...

cavs came and plaed like it was an elmination game
I would panic if I was a boston fan if they lose game 4 or if it is not even close

[TampaDude]

The Cavs missed a golden opportunity in Game 1...they could be up 2-1 right now and in the driver's seat.

I still think Cavs in 6.

[Don Quixote]

Gosh, that game was boring!

[ducks]

how did they miss a golden chance ?
james has played terrible this series
I mean the media thinks he has no help at all ! oh are you saying the cavs are a great team?
How can they be in the drive ship when your star plays like a rookie?

[SRJ]

I swear, if LBJ tackled a little girl out of the path of a speeding car, ducks would be like:

look at
that poor girl's back
it is bruised

SUCK IT, BOSTON!!!!!

Bron leave your kids at home don't take them to your presser.:bang

2 to's for Bron much better than last few games

at least Boston is leading their series unlike the Spurs

[JoeTait75]

Yeah, but if the Cavaliers had won Game 1, Boston wouldn't have come out the way they did in Game 3. They had no urgency. They made some mistakes offensively early, Cleveland ran on them, and they put the game away in the first period.

Game Four will be far, far tougher. Boston will be sharper. LBJ still isn't there. That is worrisome. They're doing a fantastic job on LBJ. They want to make the other guys beat them; everybody does, but they have the scheme and personnel to be for real about it.

I'm overall pessimistic. But the win tonight was nice.

EDIT- Wallace was hugh tonight. He makes KG work.

[boutons_]

Boston is 0-4 in playoff road games.

[JamStone]

If the Spurs ever acquired LeBron James somehow, would ducks instantaneously implode into bits?

[timvp]

I can't figure out the Celtics. They look horrible at times ... but then again they have homecourt throughout and they are probably the best defensive team left standing. Their defense and homecourt have to make them the favorites to win it all but sometimes they just look awful.

[Lakers_55]

I have been ragging on Gang Green for awhile now, and they are an embarrasment to the world for all the hype they are still getting for their regular season results. Just a matter of time before LeBron goes off on them and leaves them in the dust....If not Cleveland, then next round for sure.

[TDfan2007]

Well...this...this is pretty damn funny. Lebron only scores 21 and the Cs get their asses handed to them...wow.

I'm pretty sure that if Boston chokes this series away, then Stern/ABC's heads will explode.

[Marklar MM]

I'm pretty sure that if Boston chokes this series away, then Stern/ABC's heads will explode.

It would be great to have a Detroit/San Antonio final again...of course, with a different outcome.

[Trainwreck2100]

If that's truly the case then i have to say "Your coach sucks ha ha we win"

Yes...Spurs and Pistons in the Finals...LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!! :toast

[boutons_]

WTH is wrong with LBJ?

Anyone can have a bad game, but these are the playoffs, shooting 22% over 3 Celtics games? He can't even make layups.

Ray Allen isn't exactly lights out.

[Thunder Dan]

I was at the game last night and man was it exciting- I'm not talking about the Cavs win, I'm talking about it being my first time seeing KG live. For those of you who don't know, KG is very intense; so intense that I could feel it all the way at club level. It was just an energy he brings that I can't explain- which is normal when someone sees something supernatural. The guy just brings it, and not only that he wills his teammates to bring it every single night. I see no way the Cavs can even come within 10 in the next 2 games...Celtics in 5
