Celtics (0-1) at Heat (1-0) ECF Game 2 5/30

[Who]

Mario Chalmers is a big time (role) player.

Very pleased with that First Half. Really the best we could have hoped for, considering you kinda expected a Heat run. 7 points up at half isn't very bad at all. I like where we're at. The Celtics just have to keep executing their game plan, keep being aggressive, but smart. The Celtics aren't being stupid aggressive so far; they are being smart aggressive.

If we can cut down on those bail out plays for the Heat, where their 3 point shooters knock down those three point shots after they manage to get their hands on the offensive rebound, we'll be doing ourselves a huge favor.

I agree with your first second sentence completely.

I think we will continue to live with those 3 attempts if we can continue to frustrate Lebron and Wade since it isn't as if they are getting those every play.

I was sad about Stiemsma's fouls since he is so much better on offense than Hollins.

Great half for Rondo, I'm a little concerned that he got no rest in the half at all. Hopefully, he doesn't start to get fatigued and he can keep it up in the 2nd half. It would help a great deal if someone helps him out offensively.

[BRC-14]

ESPN is saying Wade struggled... yes, he struggled because our defense shut him down! DUH!

[guava_wrench]

Refereeing has been horrible.

Keep taking it to the cup. There is no rim protection there.

Honetly, a few bad calls, but horrible?

I have loved the refs for the most part. We are getting lots of trips to the line.

Very nice to see Ray is hitting his jumpers.

And Rondo... Just sick. He played 24 minutes already, let him play the entire game!

I thought they lost their grip on the game late in the second quarter. Need to come out in the third and regain it. A strong start to the third.

Miami was starting to get their foot in the door late in the half. Give them some more space to get comfortable and things could get complicated quickly. Need to smack them back down.

I have not loved them, but agree with this sentiment

[InfiniteMH]

I've got a feeling that Ray Allen will throw a lot of jumpers tonight.



And make them.

Mario Chalmers is a big time (role) player.

And he's also a bit of **** with the taunting.

[CoachBo]

Yeah, I agree on the officiating. The only thing I saw that I didn't like was the clear pushoff by James on the loose ball with Rondo that went the other way. They totally missed that call.

Beyond that, the officials aren't letting Miami getting away with the mugging at the rim that those three clowns did Monday night.

We could be getting more though which is why Rondo stared the ref down... yes we're getting to the line because if we don't get those obvious calls the "rigged" hype would get so much worse. We're still getting screwed on some calls.

[CelticSooner]

Refs worry me, but celts have taken 15 free throws to the Heat's 14.

Even more reason the C's have to keep this above 10. It will be a whistle fest late if it's close.
