Celts @ Mavs Game Thread

Cassell is the Celts leading assists man with 6 tonite.
The perfect player for them, damn.

They're too talented to lose.

Pierce Garnett up their chances, possibly losing the game for Celtics, in comes Ray Allen with a dagger....

this team can play their B-game and still win games. I don't think they have to play flawless like the rest of the teams do in' manufactured teams.

Jason Kidd has definately learned a lot since arriving

IIRC, Dallas has not beaten a team with a winning record since the trade.

OK can we watch the Laker game now! I hate how we always have to miss the beginnings.

You won't have to miss anything.

Why are Jazz fans cheering Fisher now? Didn't they boo him last time they played in Utah?

Pretty impressive run for the C's - beating the Spurs in a close game, blowing out the Rockets, beating the Mavs in a close game.

All in all, I'd say the theory that the Spurs are best poised to beat the C's was confirmed by this run. Makes me feel a little less nervous about the loss. I mean, a loss is a loss but it could have just as easily gone the other way, and in a 7 game series the best team always has an opportunity to make up for a close game or a missed opportunity/bad call.

Mark Cuban will be dancing with stars tonight

P.S sorry but Kaka is no longer the best footballer in the word. It's C. Ronaldo.

That's an argument for another day in another sports forum on ST.

Go Utah!!! LA is too good I need them to lose!

It'll help our 1st seed chances if Utah takes them out since LA doesn't have much more compe ive games left.

What stands out to me is the Spurs gave the game away to Boston and so did Dallas. We did it in the 3rd, Dallas in the 4th.

Boston doesn't get called for fouls in either game.

I guess you missed the 4th quarter of your own teams game when they played Boston. The Celtics were in the penalty before San Antonio was whistled for their 1st foul in the 4th. The Celtics were also called for 24 fouls, Spurs called for 21.

Stop listening to that insane homer Sean Elliot and making excuses, your team choked a 22 point lead and lost to the better team. Simple as that.

Celtics will get the sweetheart calls in the playoffs, book it.
But they are playing very well at the moment and deserved to win every game of their Texas sweep.

That Ray Allen shot was damn clutch


Dirk believed too much that he would get foul, he made his lay up shot difficult all by himself.

isnt it nice when your coach knows how to have plays that actually work in the clutch to get ur best players open in spots the succeed. Avery likes to keep 4 guys on the perimeter that watch dirk try to go iso for the 3pt line, just sickeneing

you're right too many isos,

Boston had so many screens for Ray Allen, they were three steps ahead of the Mavs, just so well executed. Dallas is clueless in crunchtime. Dirk practically was throwing up forced shots hoping to get bailed out.

It's kind of similar to how our team operates in the clutch at times, give it to Timmy or Manu and hope they create

Celts swept their Texas three-step. Stopped the Rockets string @HOU blowout and crunch time superiority @Spurs and @Mavs. Very impressive.

Celts are obviously in a league of their own right now.

Should make for very interesting playoffs, with the traffic jam/balance in the West and Celts needing to prove they can continue the season success in the playoffs.
