Celtics will not beat Cavaliers tonight.

[AntiJinx]

you heard it here first.


-Lebron will get into a great rythym at home
-Daniel "Boobie" Gibson is injured, but its not like he was doing anything
-You can always rely on Doc to rely on Sam I Suck instead of Rajon
-The Celtics will screw up another road game. BOOK IT!

[xtremesteven33]

this whole home court is an automatic win will end tonight.

maybe i dont have the "stats" to back it up but i just know that the celtics will get it done tonight. look for a big night for RAY ALLEN.

BOOK IT BABY!!!

[TampaDude]

Delonte West with a huge 3 at the buzzer! Cavs up 42-33 at the half.

[endrity]

Homecourt seems to rule again. And by the way, Doc has learned his lesson. No Cassell tonight, Sam is done. We are seeing some Eddie House, who actually hit some big threes in late 1/early 2 quarter.

[mystargtr34]

Ray Allen = Michael Finley.

The Celtics are now a 1-2 punch with a good supporting cast.

The alien is done...

[ShoogarBear]

I literally just yelled out loud on that floating jumper by LeBron.

[endrity]

LeBron is on!!! This bitch is going 7!

That was sick!

Celtics crumbling!!! LMAO

According to Bill Simmons, The Big Two feat. Ray Allen.

Home Court wins again.

A really weird playoffs.

[endrity]

The Cavs might not have much offensive talent outside LeBron but they are one long, big team on defense and on the boards. I think people underrate how much these guys actually make a difference.

[endrity]

Home Court wins again.

A really weird playoffs.

Celtics - Lakers finals??? Is the NBA just preparing the ground for that ???

[Capt Bringdown]

Cavs settling for jumpers and not attacking the basket. They had the Celts down, but appeared to have let them back in the game.

[mystargtr34]

Celts right back in it now... give it till the 4th then it becomes the Big 1 (Pierce).

[endrity]

Cavs D showing up again!!

[Capt Bringdown]

If it goes to 7, Cavs should remember that they were damn close to winning game 1 on the Celtics court.

[mystargtr34]

Andy might have just won the Cavs the game in that 5 minute stint.

[endrity]

^They were pretty close in game 5 as well. The Cavs know they have a chance, I am sure of that. But it will come down to calls again I think. The Cavs are being allowed to play extra physical tonight. I don't think it will be the same in Boston.

And LeBron gets it going again.

[endrity]

Varejao is one smart defender.

[endrity]

The way Doc handles Rondo is turrrible!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Did LeBron come to play tonite or what?

[endrity]

Did LeBron come to play tonite or what?

His shooting is still suspect, but the effort is all over the court.

[resistanze]

WTF Pavlovic?

[Capt Bringdown]

Cavs look a little tight on the last few possessions. Time for LeBron to take over.

[Capt Bringdown]

This is ain't good.

[endrity]

You asked Lebron to take over... he delivers!!!

[TampaDude]

LeBron fucking James, bitchez!!!

[ShoogarBear]

That last jumper beat the one in the first half.

[resistanze]

Garnett in fine 4th Q form.

[ShoogarBear]

Wally SUCKS!

Flip Saunders Alumni representin' tonight.

[ShoogarBear]

As I post that, he finally hits a shot.

[Capt Bringdown]

Cavs don't need to be taking 3s...take it to the rack!

Dulp! Good shot!

[ShoogarBear]

I must say I'm glad Boston came along this year to save the NBA from ugly games.

[TampaDude]

Cavs must score on this possession...

[endrity]

Garnett in fine 4th Q form.

he actually hit a shot, so by his standards this is an amazing 4th quarter from him

[resistanze]

Home cookin'

[TampaDude]

LeBron gets the home cooking...

[ShoogarBear]

HELLACIOUS block by Delonte.

EDIT: hit the backboard first.

[mystargtr34]

How the fuck should have that basket counted? It hit the corner of the backboard and was on its way out towards the sideline then Delonte hit it.... no way thats a goaltend.

And no need to have fuckin organsm on the second look at it

[resistanze]

Sub-80 point, sub 40 percent shooting games is where it's at.

Spurs should take note.

[mystargtr34]

The hype machine in full effect once again for LeBron :lol

I think you're right. The announcers were knee-jerking to the rule that you can't block a shot after it hits the backboard, but that only is when the ball is still headed toward the basket. What Delonte did was equivalent to a tap-out of a missed shot.

[resistanze]

I think all that Vietnam-vet screaming Garnett does in the first three quarters wears him out in the 4th.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lmao @ Boston

[endrity]

This one's in the bag. We have one more Game 7 now. Let's see if the Jazz can make it 3/4. And really there should be no way the Pistons lose to these Celtics.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

The hype machine in full effect once again for LeBron :lol

They loved his quote. It's a very awkward quote, yet they put some razzle-dazzle in it with those marquee words appearing on the screen.


To be fair, Lebron isn't a coward in pressure situations..

edit : Like the Celtics Big THree :lmao

[TampaDude]

Cavs win!!!

[endrity]

I think all that Vietnam-vet screaming Garnett does in the first three quarters wears him out in the 4th.

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Capt Bringdown]

OK Cavs win, but if they play the same way in Boston, no dice.

[reck21]

Celtics aren't going to beat the Cavs in this series period!

[TampaDude]

Celtics = soft

[endrity]

Where was KG in the 4th again?????

How can people not say anything about this??? The man refuses to show up in the 4th!!! It's beyond C-Webb level. At least Webber would play hot potato in the last minute or so, KG does it for the whole quarter, even in a game like this when he was playing a very nice game.

KG...League of Choke... :lol

[boutons_]

Cavs FG 32% vs 39% (great offensive bball :lol )

Cavs shots 73 vs 60

Cavs RB 45 - 37

Cavs FT pts 21 - 11 (+10, while winning by 5)
yum yum, some good home cookin

He hasn't changed. Even in his most successful post season with Minnesota "Where's kG?" whenever it mattered.
The closest thing they have to a crunch time guy is Posey :lmao

I dont' know why Pierce doesn't step up as their closer.

[SpursDynasty]

This home cooking is getting old.

[JamStone]

Ray Allen kinda sucks now.

KG is not a fourth quarter guy.

Pierce is several tiers below the Kobe, LeBron, Duncan type superstars.

The Celtics still a great team. But, they don't look very intimidating at all.

[SpursDynasty]

I don't care who goes home in this series. KG and the Celtics have had the league handed to them this year. KG didn't deserve Defensive Player of the Year or to be on the All-NBA First Team. Paul Pierce didn't deserve to be an All-Star.

LeBron didn't deserve to be on the All-NBA First Team either. Fake.

I'm glad Detroit took care of Dwight Howard, another supposed "All-Star" who shouldn't have been on the All-Star team. And Hedo was hardly the Most Improved Player. Most Improved Shooter and Most Improved Player are two different things.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Boston takes game 7. Boston VS Detroit Tuesday rested tan and ready.:ihit

[reck21]

This home cooking is getting old.

The Lakers are disproving the Homecourt will win all the time.

It is all mental.

These teams are going in these homecourts thinking oh we wont win because we're away. That's what messing with the players head.

[TDfan2007]

Kevin frickin Garnett went apeshit on the Cavs...for 3 quarters...:lmao

I mean it's really starting to get funny to watch. He blows a wide open jumper, makes a beyond retarded foul on Verajo, and then blows a WIDE OPEN 3 foot floater at a very critical possession. He hit his first shot in the 4th, but that was early so maybe he still thought it was the 3rd quarter or something.

This guy's choking in the 4th knows no bounds. And THANK GOD I didn't see a single league of clutch commercial today.

As much as I hate watching the Cavs play basketball, watching the celtics is even more frustrating, because they actually have the talent to drop 100+ on teams every game.

GO CAVS!

no more of this after game 7 please.

[JamStone]

KG did go 2-for-4 in that fourth quarter and both buckets were huge.

And, to be fair, at the end of these close games, despite all those interviews of teamwork and sharing, Paul Pierce does get a hero complex and wants to win it by himself.

KG isn't clutch at the end of games. But, give the guy credit. He's the only player on the Celtics that even brought it last night, albeit for only the first 40 minutes of the game.

Would rather have that than a player who plays shitty throughout the game and wants to play hero at the end of the game.

[Lakers_55]

I'd make a new thread, but prefer to just add to this one....

Question: Would Cavs beating Celtics be a bigger upset than Warriors beating Mavs in 2007? I say it would. Only difference is this is the second round. Remember, Cavs wouldn't be in the playoffs if they were in the west. If Cleveland does win, someone should make a thread about this outdoing last year's upset if they so desire....We had this topic when the Hawks played Gang Green....

you make a good point, but KG needs to demand the ball when he realizes his teammates aren't getting it done. Personally though I think Pierce is their best crunch time player and he should have gotten the ball in places where he could be more effective late in the game. The Celtics' offense was just a mess in the 4th.

No, not even close:

1.) Cleveland is the defending conference champion and has advanced in the playoffs three straight years. Unlike Golden State, they have a track record.

2.) Don't put too much stock in Cleveland's record at this point. It was tough for them to build any momentum during the season because of the early holdouts, the injuries, and the roster turnover. Meanwhile Boston was healthy and played the entire regular season at a playoff level of intensity. I don't think there is much of a gap, if any, between Cleveland and Boston, despite the disparity in records. LBJ offsets Piece/Garnett, Allen is nothing more than a jump shooter at this point, the benches are even (if not favoring the Cavs a little)... this is a very evenly matched series, and it's playing out that way.
