We're going to win. It's a lock.

settle down

loooooooooooooooooooooooong waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to goooooooooooooo

LeBron with 4 fouls. We got this.

i will take it any way i can get it

Buckle up, fellas. We might be in for 24 straight minutes of LeBron.

I'm worried.

Me too. I fear LeBron comes out of half with the attitude of "**** this, this is only going 5 games if I have anything to say about it."

Hmm. I'm not sure. Not only does he have to worry about foul trouble, but he just has not looked like himself the last two games. He's been very tentative and just looking exasperated out there. I'm guessing there's a hidden injury that's not been reported, because I don't think him just playing "bad" can explain this.

I'm really wondering now. I can't imagine him just not playing well for two consecutive games. I don't ever like seeing guys injured (even opponents), but I won't mind if Boston's road gets a bit easier.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  CELTS!

I know this may seem a little insensitive right now, but that comment was, my friend, terrorism.

[Cman]

A few free agents are talking Celtics right now.

Yep. Grab a ticket and get in line, fellas!

Does Lebron foul out? 

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

I'm not there with Brown yet, but when he's out there and being guarded by JR Smith or Deron Williams, give it to him on the block or go to the hoop.  With Lebron out of the game they have no shot blocking (I know that Thompson can block shots but that's not his primary skill), so get to the basket. 

Now if only we had a forward who could post up we could go to him against Lebron on the first play of the third quarter, give him an up-fake and see what happens.  He might be a little anxious, although I doubt it, and you've got to take advantage of it like Bird's teams used to do, routinely.  Never mind, no one plays like that anymore, lol . Sigh.

Yeah, it would be nice to see our team take advantage of mismatches more often. Or try to get certain players in foul trouble. Or try to get the opponent in foul trouble as a team.

That's certainly a possibility. Although, I'd take a severely limited LeBron over anyone else on either team in this series.

YES!

This is going to be one of the most painful or satisfying halves of bball since sliced bread.

Hopefully Lebron didn't pay off the refs for the 2nd half.

I think you're right. If the Cs win, awesome! If they lose, it means they blew a 16-point lead, a 10-point halftime lead.

The one downside to LeBron sitting out those final 6 minutes or so in the half, is that's 6 minutes of rest LeBron normally doesn't get.  Might be a little fresher now come the 4th.

Let's go! We need a big 2nd half...or to at least not be out scored by more than 9.
