Starting to feel like the Patriots a couple of years ago, 4th quarter down by 2 TD's and no timeouts.... yet you still feel like they're going to win.

what a freaking comeback...and, on top of it, i think steph will have another big game thursday. looks like he's got some confidence back after tonight. he and baby literally saved us from getting blown out early in the 4th quarter.

Thanks. Happy to get there on a great night, one of the most stirring comebacks I've seen.

We have to pick our spots, I guess - and tonight we were flawless down the stretch.

Again, Perkins defending the rim. Great, great job by Perkins who is growing by the day.

Congrats on 400 TP`s. Coach.

Well deserved.

Let's double those congrats!

Can't believe that! That was an awesome final 4 minutes !
TP's for everyone who DIDN'T call this game over. If you did? Well, what do you say now?  ;D (all in good fun ;))
I kept the faith!

same here although i didnt post actively for fear of jinxing them.

Do I get a negative TP for believing this game was over?? :-[

After seeing Howard this series, he's kinda overrated. I rather have Yao Ming than Howard to be honest.

I agree about Howard.  I like Yao, but Id still take Howard just based on the ability to stay healthy alone.

No, I think Howard has better feet =)

he's gonna be a perennial all-star and when he gets legit two way NBA players around him, he'll get some titles, but I don't think he's a guy who can do it by himself a la Shaq (and even Shaq had Kobe and DWade, but just dominated that much more)

I may have to start a Perkins thread. His growth, and his refusal to surrender the rim at key spots, is a big reason why our season is still going. GREAT defensive job on Howard. Seems like he had a couple of huge plays at the rim in the run tonight.

This guy has really come on this year.

OH MY GOD did you see that uncontested dunk by BYNUM!?!?!?

...oh wait, Aaron Brooks said "goodbye".
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Doc said that ast some point Marbury would win a playoff game for us. WEll there you go.

Pierce was brilliant tonight, quietly. Great passes to BBD and that huge offensive rebound, plus lots of other stuff.

I realize that it's the heat of the moment, but: This might me might favorite sports time of all time. They've faced so much adversity, both in things beyond their control and self-imposed, but still they keep fighting, keep coming back. I feel like the luckiest sports fan in history.
