geez guys, its house money. the WORST that can happen tonight is the series is tied and the celtics have home court advantage in a 3 games series.

of course, winning tonight would be better.  ;D

Yeah, so it is when playing the best player in the world. Let's not forget that the Celtics will be fortunate to win this series.

Well, it's a whole new series, but I'm still pretty encouraged by the C's effort tonight. Despite falling behind 19, they stayed within distance all game and didn't get annihilated. Unfortunately they just shot themselves in the foot way too many times. But they were still in it most of the game, and had a few 50/50 balls and easy dunks gone in, it's probably a different outcome.

We definitely look like a better team at home and as long as we stick to the game plan, we can take Game 5! Lebron had 40+ points tonight, but we also allowed Korver, Nance and Thompson to just kill us.

That C’s 2-0 series record is in danger. Man its hard to beat LeBron without a huge talent advantage like GS.

I'm not panicking because I picked the Cavs in six. Just wish we didn't have Jeckel and Hyde performances

My biggest concern is that our defense suddenly looked garbage the last two games.

Even in Games 1 and 2, we had stretches where we couldn't score, but we defended real well and didn't let CLE go on a huge run themselves.

But on the road, they were letting CLE answer every one of their (Celtics) shots, and felt like we saw a lot more guys wide open than we did in Games 1 and 2 COMBINED. Yikes...

I've got one thing to say about this series....before the series started, nobody said eliminating the Cavs was going to be easy. We're tied, going back home with home court advantage in the last 3 games.

I have to believe with an older team playing every other day including uh doing traveling, this is when the youth can have an advantage.

Celtics in 6. I still believe we are the better team. We missed 3-4 dunks tonights.

We blew at least 10 layups, countless defensive assignments, and threw the ball away a lot. Still, we battled until the end and made them work. If we didn't lose our composure with a few bad calls every time we got close, we could have made it a game at the end. It will take its toll on them like you said, we can still take this.

Hopefully our young guys learned something from this Cleveland trip and will play with more poise going forward.
