Well, this team has played with heart but, if we lose to these chokers( because they definitely are), who's gonna be the choker?? :-[

orlando is just not good in my mind..this is the most pressure they have EVER been in....this team has not been in a game 7 before...i think boston plays with some energy and ray hits some shots Cs win

When you factor in the Garnett injury, the Powe injury and the absurdly bad bench we've had all season, I would not view this season as an underachieve, regardless of what happens Sunday.

The only underachievers in the organization are Ainge and Grousbeck.

rivers has gotten just about everything he can out of this team...i do think they can win game 7 but it is going to take 48 minutes to do it

Yeah, he has.

The problem is, he's driving a car that's running out of fuel.

Considering the injury to KG, yes.

I won't be satisfied. I will be very disappointed. Anything less than taking Cleveland to 7 games will be a big disappointment. I know we are injured and we are tired but we are a better team than Orlando.
Let's go C's!!!

This may sound blasphemous, but I am about ready to wish they would lose it. We will have played 14 games including 3 over time games. They have played 8. We are injured, depleted, and dead tired and they are young and fresh and hungry. I have a sick feeling that if something miraculous doesn't happen to PP or Ray, and they get on fire, that we might not even win a game. I'd rather see us go out after a hard fought series I think than to go and get ripped by the Cavs. We'd hang our heads a little higher I think. I know there is always a chance, but we are really not playing at their level in the playoffs.

Look around, all of our injuries have been at the same position... Cleveland hasn't had a single issue and Lebron (despite all of you guys saying he's overrated and gets everycall) is the best player in the league and could be the best player of all time. We will beat Orlando in 7. But if i'm wrong i will only be disapointed becuase we blew this game away, but if you told me at the beginning of the season that KG would miss a third of the season and we'd be one game away from the Conference finals and Rondo would average a triple double.... i'd be siked.

Bottom line (literally) is that these two 7 game series have generated a healthy amount of revenue for the team and will help the owners be more willing to pay Davis what he is worth going forward.

Another series, however many games it is, only helps make luxury tax seem that less trivial.

Well, I think that, given the way this team was constructed, you had to understand from the beginning of the season that the ONLY chance of repeating depended on absolutely no injuries, along with some luck from the pines.

The former didn't happen, and the latter has been extremely spotty, and that's a charitable way of putting it.

So I'd urge perspective here. Everyone should examine their expectations, and ask themselves if they're realistic or the wishful thinking of a fan.

There can be a big difference.

BBD better hope they don't look at tonights game to judge his value. This is the problem with the guy. Sure he hit a tremendous shot the other night, but he just has so many weaknesses it is tough to truly assess what his value IS. He's the type of guy that signs a contract that you regret for quite some time. How about if we take that revenue and go out and find a defensive SF and a full grown big man instead of these undersized guys!

I'm going. It's gonna be loud, and Dwight is gonna go 2-36 from the free throw line, and I'll just laugh and laugh and laugh at how he's basically a super-athletic scrub who's skills are unfit for MY team let alone the NBA.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.
