If we don't run some pick and rolls with KG and Pierce I will scream! They're doubling Pierce, but they can't do that off a pick and roll with KG, especially considering how good KG is playing!

So let's get it going!

Lakers are doing it, and they're getting success with it.

Yeah, but Kobe hasn't gone off.

Then again, I'm not sure whether Paul even played that half...

C's are a one-man show right now, and the Lakers are playing team ball. It should be the other way around.

The defense has been absolutely PATHETIC! Did we make 1 stop in the second quarter? Absolutely terrible!

We must play much, much better defense in the second half!

The worst defensive performance of the playoffs!

We didn't play our game probably due to emotions and foul trouble. I believe well gather ourselves in the 2nd half.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

Yeah, Perkins is getting eaten alive on defense.

But what really is getting on my nerves is the fact that we haven't been rotating very well. I've seen Fisher, Kobe and even Radmanovic open too many times.

Tom needs to correct this defense NOW.

Also, why did KG stop shooting? He was abusing Gasol.

What we said about energy being everything (yeah, I said that first, but it was obvious and everybody agreed) is holding true.

The rebounding got lacksidaisical at the same time the defense fell apart.

Perkins and Rondo both playing terrible defense.

I knew Perkins would make Pau look like a superstar.

The Lakers are hitting a ton of jump shots, so unless that holds up, Boston should be in good shape.


Rondo is playing really bad on D. He's just living Fish again and again. Oh well, we can't play much worse. 1/9 on 3s. We've got this game in hand. Paul is gonna come out hot in 3rd and take over. :wink:

Also, can't go 10 minutes without Allen getting a shot? He needs to get into a rhythm and we need...need...need more ball movement and dribble penetration.

ALLEN STINKS. 2/7. He can't hit anything.

POSEY fails when you need him.

PIERCE is can't play in the finals...to much pressure on him.

KG...hes great but not great enough to lead our team like Kobe

We lost. Its so obvious.

Turnovers killing us.

No hands in people's faces killing us.

Showing players a lane to the rim is killing us.

Need to clean up a lot at half time.

Garnett has been incredible for you guys thus far. If Pierce steps up in the second half, you're going to be tough to beat.

We're behind. Therefore, we have to make the first adjustments.

What's more, we didn't get a series-opening home-crowd freebie.

That's the beginning and end of the "disaster" so far.
