We must do everything to get this game. But somehow my feeling tells me that... well, you know it. Really, the key is to jump out to an early lead and hold onto it until the final minutes.

If we can jump out with some energy and don't do some (Please Use More Appropriate Word) 4th quarter lineups, it's our game to lose.
My Starting 5:

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

Better admend the line-up and take Gibson out of the bench for CLE. I assume Devin Brown will be the backup since Snow hasn't played in two months.

I don't think we can win this game. LeBron is back, this will be CLE homecourt, lets just hope that it's a good competative game and it helps us for game 7 back in our house.

Well, if there was ever a better time to win their first road game, I certainly can't think of it.

I dont understand how any can say that theyll win, why is this game different from the last 5 road games? because they can close them out? they could of done that to the hawks in game 6 also. It doesnt make me feel to optimistic after getting blown out in game 4, but now they'll win?, hate to say it, but its going to a game 7, because the c's have really givin me no reason to believe it wont

End this bull ****.

Please, bench, step up. I can't stand looking at Ben Wallace, Daniel Gibson, Anderson Varejao, Joe Smith and saying, "Why can't Boston get players like that."

Infuriating. The bench is Posey and bunch of guys who have just plain sucked this series.

Game 6 makes it big enough, but just to pile on the pressure, every loss gives Detroit more and more rest ....in other words, looking at the bigger picture....well I'll just say i hope we make a statement and blow these guys out. Seriously, we're due & these punks are asking for it...and im not talking about just Clevland ... but the fairweather Boston fans that keep jumping on and off the bandwagon have got to go away too. GO Cs!!!!

So you are basically saying that the Celtics CANNOT and WILL NOT win on the road? Is that it? Just because you keep hearing it on ESPN?

The Hornets have won a grand total of ONE road game so far, which is exactly ONE more road game than the Celtics. Their road game losses in the second round were for an average of 16 or 17 points. Why are the Celtics doomed and the Hornets poised for stardom?

The Jazz are another neat example. They have won just ONE road game (again, only ONE more than the Celtics). They have also lost one home game (the Celtics are unbeaten at home so far). What keeps the Jazz free from the scrutiny of idiots while the Celtics are under the microscope for not winning a freaking road game?

We are going to win this one.

Why?

Because every bloody game I watch, the Celtics lose. I can't watch this one, so viola.

To be fair to the Jazz, I believe they took the first two in Houston, however I agree with everything else. The media has us under the microscope because we've been the big story all season. They can't wait for us to fail so they can bash our stars and call them chokers who will never win anything. I personally can't wait to see all the people who have been doubting the Celtics all season eat their words and in Jamele Hill's case, lose her job.

First things first though, road win #1 coming up.

Well, they played against Dallas (one of the (if not the) best home teams) and San Antonio...

I will guarantee a WIN tonight. I can feel it guys.

Celtics know they HAVE to bring their A game tonight esp. the big 4 not 3. Rondo is another A.I baby :pray:

We need to win this one and prepare for Detroit.
