C's nearly blew this game. Those 2 TO almost did them in. If the Cavs shoot better from the FT line they win this game.

Celtics played well to win and did not have a complete meltdown. I am ready for game 7!

I honestly forgot how brutal playoff basketball...(should I say playoff basketball with a real chance to win it) really is. If we come out of this series alive, we got the Pistons waiting for us. I absolutely LOVE IT!!! If we play this home court thing out, we have SIXTEEN games left!!

The Cavs worries about game 6.

Cleveland was unable to make those free throws during the clutch. You guys just came out during the second half with more fire and heart to win. Good Game!

He's got to be right up there with Tim McCarver for worst sports commentators ever.

One small negative... KG wasnt doing anything in the fourth.

Positive: Rondo... Wow. never knew he would be the guy who sets the temp for this team... now to carry it over on the road...

Woooo! Good win. I really hope we don't get Fratello doing the game again. I hate that guy.... funny he's coached both Cleveland and Atlanta, and somehow ends up doing all of their games. It's just stupid hearing him cream his pants about those franchises.

What? Garnett had 6 points (3-5 shooting, 1 miss a very tough tip attempt on a missed free throw) and 8 rebounds in 10 minutes. Hardly "not doing anything" and it's tough for a big man to go off for 12 in a quarter when our ball handlers (because for whatever reason, we decided it would be wise to keep it away from Rondo) can't get the ball across half court without turning it over, either.

ray ray can't buy a break. his slump continues and he has a critical turnover... thankfully he redeemed himself with that tip on the offensive glass. rondo was the keyu tonight. posey also gave me a coronary

mike brown's on nbatv right now whining about the lack of calls on delonte wesr

Key to this game.....RONDO kept attacking....0 minutes for Cassell in the 2nd half.

MaxwellSmart · Post #717 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Thu May 15, 2008 3:10 am

Really...those back to back 3 pointers by Rondo in the 2nd quarter turned this game in our favor.

I am really proud of Rondo! What a game!

The third quarter was the first in this series that we saw celtics basketball! We passed the ball on offense, were dynamic, everybody was in motion, we need this for 48 minutes!

Good games by KG, Pierce (very good defense on Lebron), Davis and PJ.

But the last few minutes were terrible. Too many stupid turnover, we can`t make mistakes like that! Hopefully we learned something from it!

Now, I can go to sleep happy...

I agree. What killed me is that Posey was about 3 steps away from getting it over half court. I cannot understand for the life of me why he passed it it back.

As for the Allen TO it was not 100% his fault. He really had not room to catch the ball and he was double teamed the second he got it.

Our half court offensive sets are easy to guard, good move to allow Rondo to use his gifts and allowing him to create and use some imagination to get us easy baskets. Now if who ever has a voodoo doll of Ray Allen can cut him some slack this team would be fine.
