Round 2 Game 6 : Celtics @ Cavs - Friday, May 16th (3-2)

instead of taking outside shots and hoping that they go in, the celtics should attack the basket more. there's enough jump shooters on the team, pierce and garnett don't need to be taking outside shots. it's making it too easy for the cavs to guard them, they pretty much know doc's playbook: "guys pass the ball around on the perimeter, when the shot clock is running down, just take a shot and hope it goes in".

I feel embarassed by our team. Our players are looking like little girls on the road. Rondo lost the ball all alone 3 times in the first quarter.

Also, who was the idiot that made the pass to Varejao in the last second Delonte 3 pointer?

I really prefer to lose sunday than to Pistons or Lakers.

74-69 ? I'm really disappointed at the quality of ball being played in this series by both teams. This isn't a case of good defense either. The Cavs are running the clock down and the Celts are falling into the trap.

The Celts can't score 75 points? Brutal ball by both teams, this isn't how the NBA game should be played IMO, it's almost unwatchable.

If you guys could score in the high 70s against the Cavs it wouldn't matter.

This is the ABSOLUTE Truth---and it happened right from the start of this pathetically Fixed game....Cavs were even surprised that they were still in the game in the 2nd quarter-----Cause the refs put a stop to what we were doing by weak calls and lots of NO Calls.....So,when the Celtic turnovers happened, Cleveland was in position to take control-----INSTEAD of being down 15-20 points like they should have been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We DO go to the basket. Every time Big Baby has the ball in the paint tonight he was HACKED and didn't shoot a single free throw. We have been bamboozled in three horribly officiated games this postseason in which every time we charged back from a deficit the refs would kill our momentum with shady **** calls. It's obvious when we do and do not show up and when we show up against teams like Atlanta and Cleveland, we don't **** around. We've shown up for all but two games in the playoffs: Game 3 in Atlana and game 3 in Cleveland. Lebron was good enough to beat us in game 4 pretty much by himself, another legit win.

I can only count three games that the C's were actually outplayed in these first two series and lost...so why do we have six losses?

Answer: refs

The top three reasons we lost this game:

1. Ray Allen's inability to be even a shade of his former self. Seriously, he's practically useless out there when he isn't making shots.
2. Refs
3. Lebron

I can't wait for Game 7 because it wouldn't surprise me if we demolish them like we did with the Hawks. The Hawks were said to have a great chance in that game and a chance to "shock the world" well the Cavs are in the same boat except for one thing. The FANS.

BOSTON FANS ARE GOING TO GO WILD. GAME 7 AT THE GARDEN BABY WHERE "UNBEATABLE" HAPPENS

Basketball made me sick. That charge on Pierce, and goaltending at the end of the game were HORRIBLE. I only caught the last bit since I was at something for school, but was the officiating that bad throughout? Oh, and to make matters worse the Lakers were given a game by the refs. Kobe had 2 blatant charges, and got 4 FTs out of it and they won by 3. Such bull.

it's called home cooking, why do you think all the home teams are winning?

I'm just hoping that we're only goofing off on the road but to play even harder at home. What I'm seeing on the road is pathetic. Ray Allen looks lost. A "pure shooter" is suppose to make at least 40% of his shots.

The NBA wanted this to go 7 games so badly, that it's just too obvious.

And might as well get rusty. 7 days between two games in the playoffs isn't a good thing.

The bottom line is that it took a miracle game from Rondo to win game 5 and they nearly lost anyway.

This isn't hawks the celtics are playing tomorrow they are playing a team with one of the best players in the NBA. Not one person on the celtics wanted to be in the situation.

I have a horrible feeling about this game tomorrow. All their lack lust road appearances will finally catch up to them tomorrow. It will be a close game but I say the cavs win by 5.

James will simply not let his team lose and the celtics do not have that kind of player on their team. It was a great season but it is a tough way to go out.

It does not matter anyway because the celtics are no longer contenders. Look at what the lakers did last night. They finished off a team with the best home record in the NBA. That is exactly why they are contenders and the Celtics are not.

I actually have a good feeling about the game tomorrow! We have KG, we have Pierce and we have some other players who will not let this team lose in game 7 at home! We have the better team and we will prove it tomorrow.

I agree that we can not be taken seriously as a contender anymore but that is not important! We will win the game tomorrow!
