No Gibson to stretch the floor. So no stupid pull up J's and dagger 3's in this one. Should be a tough game, but in the end C's should pull this out.

P.S. EDDIE PLEASE!

The C's might actually win this road game tonight. Especially if Delonte isn't playing well.

Theres no way we win tonight.

Heres why....

1.) its in Cleveland
2.) we are statistically a drastically different team on the road in all areas of the game.
3.) Even if we keep it close, Cleveland will pull it out in the end because were in Cleveland.
4.)Its hard to imagine LeBron allowing the Celtics to eliminate him from the playoffs in Cleveland.
5.) Mentally this team is not the same away from Boston.
6.) Cleveland will get the calls 8 times out of 10.

Its going to be another up hill fight. Boston loses by 10-15. :(


Please let me be wrong!!!!!!! :pray:
Ray still got game.

Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston are all good teams at home, but they were not the best, that honor goes to the Jazz. The Celtics were the second best team at home.

I am optimistic about tonight. Rondo seems to have found his groove for the series, after playing very well against Atlanta. Doc seems to have found out the Cassell isn't working.(I wish he would figure more out though...), and Paul was playing like we're used to in game 5. Over the season it seems that as long as Paul plays well, we end up winning.

We need to put the ball in Rondos hand and let him create the offense instead of trying to go through KG or PP. They have defended those guys well and useing rondo as a spot up shooter in the corner is not the way to go.

Sure we can take it in game seven. But winning this one would send a statement to the league not to take us lightly. Time to win one on the road.

I think they'll win this one simply because they lost the last 5 :) i also predict that the ball might actually get to ray allen, and thus he'll have a decent game.

Celts by 9 cleavland is going to quit, no boobie, I would focus on getting delonte in foul trouble, pick and rolls between pierce and rondo getting him in a bad position on one or the other.

I like this game as our first road win. If not, well at least game 7 is at home, but I really do like our chances of taking it.

If we don't have anyone trying to be the hero or the 3 taking turns to be the hero, we will be OK.

Also get Powe and House in there! There won't be any Gibson to harrass House so what then is the excuse?

Oh yeah, if we win tonight, the big storyline will be that LeBron is out of the playoffs, instead of giving credit to the C's who ended their road woes.

Whoa now, don't get crazy now. That's quite a limb you're going out on. :wink:




Another reason we'll win, Tommy and Mike are doing this game, the last game of the season for Tommy and Mike has to be a win.

It's all about Pierce again. Get him the ball let him spot up and shoot or let him drive hard to the basket. Pierce is the key factor to this game and if he gets hot it's over.

KG was stunning last game, do you guys think he has it in him to do it again?
Does anyone actually believe that either Mike Brown or Doc Rivers have done any coaching during the series, or in their undistinguished careers?

Attack the rim, move the ball, and play defense. Do all three.

Do just two of the three and there will be a game seven.
