live by the 3 and lose by it.....go to the rim

Rasheed is going to pick up a tech pretty quickly if he doesn't chill...

Looked like a pretty clear foul to me, too.

[Tai]

Nice drive, TA. All night, ALL NIGHT.

[celticinorlando]

boy...the officials are bound and determined to control this game

[jdpapa3]

Baby, you gotta contest that man. It's Tell Webster. The kid is money.

And then he didn't upfake the 6'11" Aldridge.

UGHHHHH.

[jadams5214]

Poor shot selection and poor defense allowing Portland to cut it to one --- nothing has changed.

[Donoghus]

This has gotten frustrating.

[Drucci]

1 point lead... if only we hadn't shoot something like 7 threes in a row we wouldn't be in that situation. Put KG back in the game right now. Rondo has to attack Miller everytime.

[jdpapa3]

KG's -11 and my impression of how well he has played tonight just don't match up.

[celticinorlando]

it would be very frustrating to lose this game tonight. and even if they do win...they haven't played very well....

[Neurotic Guy]

This is it.  Need to see the run now.

[celticinorlando]

sheed 2-7 from 3...

[jdpapa3]

Doc with no timeout when Davis was on the ground....inexcusable.

Also thought KG was pushed under the basket.

[Roy Hobbs]

Nice hustle, terrible pass.

[jadams5214]

Just really have to give Portland tons of credit here tonight ---

It's hard to believe they are right there in this game despite facing such difficult circumstances.  This team is missing the top scorer and easily best player in Brandon Roy.  Missing their top 2 centers and only inside presence with Oden and Pryzbilla.  Missing key bench players in Batum and especially Outlaw.  And then losing their starting guard of tonight in Bayless.  It is shocking to see them hanging around tonight playing a rested Boston team playing at home and missing only one bench player from the roster.

Celtics simply can't lose to a team in this situation can they???
