I know people point out that Pierce in the ISO at the end of the game is the smart thing to do but I still like the offense running through Rondo in these instances, free throwing shooting be [dang]ed.

I know, bro. I trust that he would hit at least 1 this time around.

[Tenacious D]

Sorry for the negativism, gang but this thing was theirs for the taking and they ****ed it away. Fundamentals!

Oops. Dribbled it away. but seriously, when is the last time a Pierce iso went down? bonehead plays (Perk) and home runs (Rondo)--just stay in your offense and play your game.

[MattG12]

I want to see a lot of Rondo in this overtime.

[Roy Hobbs]

Phew...  too close, there.

[jdpapa3]

Looking back at it, I think Pierce should've just pulled up for the 8 foot jumper. He got the edge.

[Drucci]

I'm relieved... but we've got to play better in the OT or this will be another home loss with heavy minutes for the startes. We have to take Webster out of the game with his 6th foul.

[celticinorlando]

this should not be a game heading into OT. just no killer instinct anymore

[Kiorrik]

Ugh. This isn't really a pretty game, is it.

[jdpapa3]

TA in for Pierce you guys think? Gotta be.

KG has 5 fouls, Rondo has 4. Webster has 5 for them.

Refs early crappiness hurting us in OT before the jump even happens.

[ManUp]

If Rondo isn't controlling the offense in this OT we lose.

[celticinorlando]

Ugh. This isn't really a pretty game, is it.

like a trip to the dentist..this is the root canal portion of the game

[Roy Hobbs]

Ugh. This isn't really a pretty game, is it.

Where have you been?!  It's about time you checked in. 

[MattG12]

Sorry for the negativism, gang but this thing was theirs for the taking and they ****ed it away. Fundamentals!

Nah... I'm very pleased with the way they played. They could have flowed terribly adding KG back to the lineup but instead they got their heart and their composure back. Many of the same things that have been going wrong lately happened again tonight (For example horrible refs and free throw shooting 27 - 17). Lately something like that would get to them and they would give up and whine about it. Today they kept their composure, and because of that they are still in it, they've played well.

[GreenFaith1819]

Well, the C's will put them away shortly..

[Roy Hobbs]

Ugh. This isn't really a pretty game, is it.

Nah...  it's going to be like sweet, sweet nitrous.  No worries.
