The best record in the league will not be without a purpose.

No Doc bashing tonight. 

This team can't beat Atlanta unless Pierce is healthy and on the floor.  He looked hurt the previous two games in Atlanta and we couldn't win and now that he is taking the ball strong to the goal he was just officiated off the floor tonight and we just can't get to the rim effectively without him.

I love KG, but he was completely invisible tonight.  Didn't rebound at all and look absolutely afraid to shoot the ball with the exception of 1 possession during the fourth quarter. 

I have complete faith we will win game 7, but man there is going to be some serious pressure on the C's not to have a Dallas meltdown.  The home crowd is going to have to be the MVP of this series.

You have got to give Atlanta credit.  If they can keep the game close they make the plays down the stretch when it matters.  Joe Johnson has been coming up huge at home for Atlanta. 

One more game in Boston, it could be a lot worse.

I think it was Pierce's 3rd and 4th fouls, they were absolutely horrendous, 2 blocking fouls when he is set, but hey, home cooking happens and theres nothing we will ever be able to do about it!

38 wins would have given them homecourt advantage over the Hawks!

Yup

  • You know my methods, Watson.
let's not forget that none of the "big 3" (i use the term verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry loosely) have won anything...maybe they're just revealing their true selves and flame out like they have in each of their respective pasts.  i hope not, but i'm extremely disappointed in this team...
