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

Not a problem.  I was thinking the same thing that you were.

You'd think the cameramen would know enough by now to wait a few seconds after KG hits a shot to get a close-up of his face ... even the younger fans can read his lips quite easily, and it's not exactly family-fare! We love ya anyway, Ticket ... and love that intensity!!

anyone glad this went to 7?

maybe this was a wake up call, giving us no option but to focus. i think a sweep would have put us in at the deep end against cleveland.

maybe anyway. i'm trying to take positives out of going to 7 against this frankly average team.

This has been a solid performance today. I don't think it's been a good one.

Series took 3 games to long to end but we got the result that we wanted.

i imagine the cav's have to be a bit nervous...

a game like this can entirely replenish any lost confidence the celtics may have had.

The way this was going, I was thinking the same thing.  I would have liked to see Game 3 be the wake up call, but this works, as well; it gives us the perfect amount of momentum to go into Round 2.

Great response from Rondo, make the FTS and now going strong to the tin again.  Good control by Ray too, and he even made a jumper after  :o

How do you figure?  The defense has been *amazing*.

The ball movement on offense has been good, and only Ray Allen is having an off-game.

Amazing defense + above-average offense = good game.  We've doubled-up the Hawks so far; if this is only solid, I'd love to see your definition of good.
