sit ray and and pierce for the rest of the game please. gear up for that big battle vs memphis

game over.....rest the starters....

I think we need to count up how many times you call games "over" in these threads.

The C's have come apart these last three minutes so I'll say I don't think they will win, but you do this every single Heat run.

id estimate its pretty high, but at least 4 times he's called em dead and we've come back (though i dont think thats in the cards tonight) so mabey the reverse jinx will work.

<reverse jinxes never work>

It worked in game 4 of the finals last season when we were down over 20 points and i decided I was clearly not supposed to be watching the game, luckily i was flicking back and forth and tuned back in for good once we took the lead.

home court is officially out. and holding off orlando now becomes the main focus. this team just has nothing right now...every game until folks comes back will look like this

Are you always this negative in day to day life?
They meds for that you know.

While admittedly negative, it's also fairly realistic. The Celtics have 2, going on 3 more losses and only about 17 games to go. Even if the Celtics can manage to go 15-2, outperforming their pace-to-date by about .15 percentage points, the Cavs would have to go 14-5, underperforming on their pace-to-date by about .05 percentage points. That is, to say the least, a significant swing.

Well, I think it's over at this point.  15 point lead with Wade on the bench.

But yea, every time were down 8 after the half time break, its game over. 

Plus home court is out! We'll be lucky to be the 5th seed  !

I just hope we can make the playoffs.

I think we have officially seen the last of Pierce and Allen tonight. Or at least we should have once the timeout is over.

[ziggen]

wow they suck

Time to toss in the guys who need the time. 

[celticinorlando]

heat on a 25-9 run ....not a good night...oh well...focus needs to be on holding the 2 spot. forget cleveland.

[vinnie]

Time to clear the bench, and for the season, hope we get our guys back in enough time to hold on to second.

[crownsy]

man send marbury back to wherever he came from...

this is what spawns the " i hate boston sports" threads.

mans been out 13 months, comes in 2 weeks ago into a brand new offense, and he's dead to some fans after 4 games.

L...O....L


im willing to give him more than 2 weeks to try to get his timing back.

Who cares about regular season at this point. Bring on the playoffs already..

The Heat tonight are like the kid who starts some crap on some kid when his big brother is away at summer camp. Enjoy it now, my friends...
