That is one disgustingly ugly outfit Stuart Scott is wearing.

Mike Wilbon's top-five Celts:

5. Sam Jones
4. John Havlicek
3. Dennis Johnson
2. Larry Bird
1. Bill Russell

I can't say I agree with that.  You can't ignore Cowens, Cousy, and McHale; at least two of them need to make the top-five.

Agree, Roy ... I'd have it something like:

 1) Bill Russell
 2) Larry Bird
 3) Bob Cousey
 4) John Havlicek
 5) Dave Cowens
 6) Kevin McHale
 7) Dennis Johnson
 8) Sam Jones
 9) Paul Pierce
10) Robert Parish

 ... or something thereabouts.

Another record for this year's bunch - fewest pts allowed in a half in the playoffs.  Considering some of the great squads we've had in the past, this is pretty impressive, and couldn't come at a better time. 

Just need to finish strong and keep the lead to 15+ and we can start getting ready for Cleveland...ABC's special on LeBron, I'm half-expecting the camera to start drooling all over him.

awesome record. that's definitely one to be proud of.

Celtics are up by 18 points. Atlanta scored only 26 points in the first half. The C's have the same number of assists.

Only 42% from the floor. Only 1-9 from three.

Lot of one-on-one play from KG, Pierce and Ray.

That's fine. Just something to watch.

What a great first possession for the second half: use up as much clock as possible and hit a 3-pointer!  Awesome!

That NEEDS to be an ejection.  Completely and utterly unacceptable.  Dirty, dirty play!

Sorry, I didn't know that was outlawed here.  Won't happen again.

great composure by pose to contain his emotions. and good work from doc to keep control of the bench by getting in front of them.
