HUGE win.  I credit it to the Karate Kid mojo.

Yeah, nice job with that!

Paul Pierce did it all tonight it seemed like. Always fun to see him outplay Lebron.

Really nice game -- to shoot 54% against Cleveland's defense is a major accomplishment.  31 assists = the way to win.  We know Paul loves these big games, but I'm starting to think Powe does as well.

In contrast, very unimpressed with the Cavs, their bigs looked so soft (do they actually miss Ben Wallace?) and the team didn't seem to all be on the same gameplan.

If anyone is watching ESPN, did you guys notice how Pierce was high-fiving the fans EXCEPT the little boy wearing the Cavs shirt!  Classic!


Haha yeah Paul was on his game in all ways possible in the second half.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

You know I love it. TP for you Mr. Hobbs. And I know your coming around on my boy, Mikki Moore. ;) ;)

Who can sleep with a game like this?

The Captain was incredible, the bench was very good, and we won despite the refs.

Good night, everyone.  :)
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

I'll start it right now, I'm REALLY proud of our guys tonight.  It's downright scary that they are without KG, Scal and Tony, and they are tearing up Cleveland, the anointed ones in the East.

Now we just have to get this team playing this kind of ball on a regular basis. 

Awesome guys!!!

I said before the game I had 0 confidence.

Right now, I have 0 hesitation to say the Celtics are the favorites again. Homecourt or no. They just took the homecourt punch, and they're gonna win. They're gonna win big.



Yeah, I actually picked Cleveland in the ESPN "streak for the cash," just so I wouldn't be too disappointed if the C's lost. Considering I was riding a win streak of "0" I'm pretty happy with the outcome tonight.


And I just have to say, what an utterly fantastic game from Pierce tonight. He was the best player on the floor, cluthc down the stretch.

It still amazes me that the FT advantage was 38-12 in the Cavs advantage.  And that is with the Celtics getting more points in the paint (if I heard correctly).

Great win.  A lot of injuries, Davis ejected, Rondo getting banged up all over the place, refs were really bad, and we win by double digits.

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.  The refs are teaching us that to win we must do more than win.  This will be one nasty, nasty team in the playoffs.

Now let's stay up late and watch the Utah Jazz fans act like the jackasses they are. (Saw the film of them rising as one and cheering KG's knee injury.)

Stay classy, Utah.

Joe Smith played well though. Which is disappointing :P

There is no way refs can legitimately explain how Celtics are home but get 12 FTs to Cavs 38! That is ridiculous. Also quite embarrassing for the Cavs who still lost by double digits.
