2nd Round Game 3 Celtics at Cavaliers 5/10/08 8:00 PM ABC

I would use Pollard for Z if he hadn't got injured

[Bahku]

This is the same way the last game started.

Bahku -- I was there. The Celts were not nearly this bad in the first 5 minutes of the last game.  Yes, they fell behind 21-9, but they were not this bad.  They gotta wake up soon, cos they won't get the home cooking from the refs.

We had a lousy first quarter in the last game, too ... jeez!

[Roy Hobbs]

Looks like KG is the only starter who showed up to play (and even he has been beaten for some rebounds by Ben Wallace.)

Sigh...  we didn't need a technical there, Doc.  Poor call, though.

[vinnie]

Looks like the only thing in question tonight will be the Cavs margin of victory.  No defense and stagnant on offense.  And, the refs need to get the Cavs back in the series.

[Bahku]

Playing really lousy defense here ... especially in the paint.

Ball Game we look awful

[the TRUTH]

i cant decide which call was worse...the flagrant on cassell, or the foul they just called on KG. the nba - where david stern's romantic crush on lebron james happens.

[vinnie]

I was hoping Doc was going to get T'd up twice and tossed -- 

[fan33]

O.K. now at 22-8, I'm gonna get a technical over here, Dang!

Put Sam in and Posey!

Lousy call?  How about ridiculous call.  I can't blame Doc there, I would have blown up too.  You just can't give KG a foul on a play like that.

[vinnie]

So does Cleveland win by 30 or more tonight?  Just freaking horrendous.  Unbelievable.  How the hell does the team with the best record in the NBA get down by 19 points in the first quarter?  It is just unfathomable to me.  Honestly, I cannot even watch.

[Roy Hobbs]

I guess the goal right now should be getting this one down to single-digits by halftime.

Huh?!?

[vinnie]

This is sad and laughable at the same time.  The entire team and the entire coaching staff need to take a good, long look in the mirror and decide whether or not they are a championship caliber team or not.  Either they are not motivated properly or they simpy to not care about winning on the road.  13 points in a quarter is an absolute travesty.

[the TRUTH]

we cant play any worse, and the cavs cant play any better. long way to go...this game reminds me a lot of the game at san antonio. if we make a run, the cavs will feel some serious pressure.
