Can someone on the CELTICS hit a free throw?

This series would be over if the Celts could just hit there free throws.
C'mon now...If Noah can do it, why can't we!

Saturday night will be crazy if the game is close or a blowout in favor of the Celtics, but I feel alot of people are ready to toss in the season since it would be virtually impossible to win it all without KG.

The reason that the series isn't over is because of poor game management by the Celtics.  You only have so much control over free throws.  You're going to miss some of them...it happens.  What you have complete control over is how you manage the game.

They should have fouled Tyrus Thomas late in game 4 (the Gordon 3-point play on PP) and they shouldn't have replaced BBD with TA late in game 6.  Just two of the several boneheaded decisions that may cost them the series.

True about the errors, but free throws define a player.
When the game is on the line, a player makes it or breaks it.
The crowd get back in the game, and momentum shifts.

So far, the Celts haven't closed out games with any confidence going to the line.
I used to be happy about fouls, but now I'm afraid they will miss.

Twenty-four of 30 from the line tonight.  That's a cool 80 percent.  I'll take my chances with that most nights.
