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

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.

Huge game. Going to be intense. Go C's

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:

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.

We will win tonight by less than 10 points. I GURANTEE THIS...

I am willing to eat steak and drink beer if it doesn't happen...

I am not going to make a prediction but I will say that the celtics will be plaing the _______ on Sunday.

Post #31 » by **Spin Move** » Fri May 16, 2008 7:06 pm

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?
