I think that the Boston crowd didn't show up enough in the previous games. Well, it was in the game, excited and behind the Celtics, etc, but the Bulls have taken the habit of silencing the crowd by hitting big buckets when the C's were about to make a run.

So I hope that the crowd (and all of you that will be at the game) will be a real factor, contesting referees' decisions and most importantly boo Rose or another player from Chicago whenever he has the ball because as you have probably noticed it did work on Rondo in game 6, he was disturbed and didn't drive to the lane (or just to get blocked).

I disagree about Game 5. The crowd was electric. Too often, the apparent crowd involvement is artificial, driven too much by the nonsense on the CelticVision screen. But in Game 5, we took control of our own destiny, effectively over-ruling the big screen and doing what sports fans do best. There is already an incredible buzz going on, building to tomorrow night. The North End and the Bullfinch Triangle will be a Celtics fan-fest and pep rally, starting hours before the game.

We are Celtics Nation, and at the Garden, we can make a huge contribution to one of the most powerful home-court advantages in sports. Although I'm not sure Rose will draw boos whenever he touches the ball, I give my personal guarantee that Hinrich, Miller, and Noah will be assaulted by the mighty voice of Celtics Nation; when they are introduced, whenever they enter the game, whenever they touch the ball, and whenever they stand at the free throw line.

We Celtics fans are a powerful force, with a long lineage. We know that. We will be loaded for Bull. There is no question. It cannot possibly be otherwise.

TP for representing remarkable fanhood. Whats the best way to get tickets to this game?

I was on stubhub and and there were 17 seats at center court balcony for $140.  While I checked to make sure I had enough money in my account (literally less than 5 minutes) they all sold out.  Now on stubhub they're at 185 for last row balcony behind the hoop.  I got on aceticket and found them at 140 and in the time it took me to register I lost them.  I ended up having to get them at $191 for last row, corner balcony.  Hopefully it will be well worth it.  I am so pumped right now.

I hope I can hear you from my section going nuts!  Cause I certainly will be.

Last year noone expected a Game 7 against Atlanta.  Instead of showing their frustration or fear, the crowd was great from beginning to end through the blowout.

Tomorrow night's going to be a lot tougher.  They need to be LOUD from the beginning, and hopefully they can avoid the nervous hushes that eerily come over the building during an opposing team's run.


The atmosphere should be great.  Saturday night, late start, perhaps some beverages flowing freely.  The place is going to be rowdy, I would give anything to be there.
