2nd Round Game 6 Celtics @ Cavs 5/16 8:00 PM ESPN, CSN HD

I still think we can win this one. I think we will.

I will be happy if they keep it within 10. What have you seen tonight that tells you they can win this game?  Unless the officiating turns, I say they have two chances, slim and none, and you all know where Slim is -- he left town.

If we're not good enough to win tonight, we're not good enough to win anything in these playoffs. But neither is any other team (except for big 1-point Detroit win). This is the way the league office likes it.

I love the Celtics. I hate the freaking NBA and I hate that Machiavellian gnome David Stern.

we need to take it to the hole. we'll get hacked and get no calls, but we still need to force the issue. only take jumpers if they're wide open. also, this should rival the last lakers-jazz game in terms of calls. its so [dang] blatant. we better get every call in game 7.

Pick and rolls with rondo and KG, rondo was killing last game with the floater after turning the corner, THIS NEEDS TO BE TRIED.

When will Doc get a big enough set to say something about the refereeing?  I am sure after the game he will give his usual, moronic, post game comments.  Yes, many of the C's fouls have been legit calls, but what about the fouls the Cavs are committing and not being called?  Amazing to me how good the Pistons are, though.  They can win on the road whenever they need to -- even without their point guard.

How did the Pistons do last year against the Cavs though?  

I think they were quite happy not to have to face them this year.

I know it. They will win it. They will.

[Tommy Gun]

Were going to win this thing yet..the Cavs can't throw the ball in the ocean

I didn't know we were palying last year's playoffs over again.  Detroit is the only team in the playoffs that has shown it can win on the road when it needed to.  That is why I predict they will beat the team that comes out of this series.

We have to win this. I know we will! I still have some faith.  

[BASSTHUMPER]

doc knows not to argue with the refs cause it brings tech fouls...he preach it to is team..it does nuthin..they wont reverse the call so why bother..jus play ya game..

we have missed buckets and turnovers..is that the refs fault..?

Doc needs to get a tech soon after halftime if the calls dont get better.

I hate it when a coach waits till the [dang] game is all but over then gets a tech or ejected, with nothing positive to come from it.

At least this way the refs will half to make better calls all while the game can still be won.

I'm just wondering what would happen if Detroit had to face them again. They didn't exactly do well last year.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

This one is over.  Once again, put the ball in the captain's hands at a critical time for the big turnover.

For all you conspiracy theorists, why doesn't the conspiracy apply to the Pistons, who will beat either of these teams in 5 or 6 games. 

Rondo -- Horrible
Perkins -- Worse
Allen -- Should not even be playing

Ok, we've got another one...turn in your "fan" card, you've officially quit on your team.  Go away and don't come back.  The Lakers are looking good, you can go root for them, at least til they have a bad half and you have to whine your way out of rooting for them too.

...it worked last time, let's try it again...We're winning this game.

Gotta agree on that. Im p---ed but I can't give up on this team. I can't stand the road losses though, its amazing how we lose composure on the road but the fact that we got into the penalty so quickly last quarter on weak foul calls was the reason for the 9 point lead.

[footey]

WHen will Pierce learn that he should not have the ball at the end of the quarter, Rondo should. Pierce has a much higher turnover rate.  That boneheaded play could have cost us 6 points. Huge mistake.

They are down 9 and the Cavs have had 13 extra free throws.
