Well, at least the Lakers got crushed.

By the one team we want to lose...

we needed the lakers to win over atlanta. now we are staring down the cavs in round 2. and i don't like how that might end

Bottom line the Celtics didnt excute down the stretch. Your down 4 and the play we get is Rasheed for 3. then Pierce misses a point blank layup. Game Over

[nickagneta]

TP to Maxwell Smart.

I'm proud of this team tonight too. They didn't lose this game or get beat. The other team won.

TP's to all. I'm too upset at the refs right now to continue posting.

bottomline is the refs beat boston. nothing else needs to be said

[GreenFaith1819]

So are we burying the Celtics because of tonight, then?

[kozlodoev]

Well, at least the Lakers got crushed.

And we like that why? Because it puts Atlanta 1 game ahead in the hunt for the third spot?

WRONG-!.....Bottom line is---you get SCREWED all night--The other team sticks around to steal the game----there wouldn't be failure to execute, if the game had been called even REMOTELY fair.

We're not winning anything if any of those refs have anything to do with it. We played good, maybe not perfect, but certainly more than good enough to win by a good margin.

But nope. David Stern still hates Boston.

i wouldnt say that...but they need to win friday because they will have little chance to pull the upset sunday vs the cavs. they cannot go 0-4 this week at home. i keep hoping atlanta will lose some so we can avoid the cavs as long as possible

The, Lakers! :p

Well, I got happy because of it, tbh. Rivalries > playoff spots

This one anyway

And we still have several games to go..and we all know that ATL is not consistent.

And even if ATL finishes ahead of us..are we still counting out the Celtics?

Sheed was 2-for-2 from behind the arc tonight, he was wide open. For once, I was happy he was taking that shot.

Screw that. Gimme the Cavs in the first.

SLAUGHTER them. 0 - 4. To hell with the refs, Stern, etc. We'll kill them.

[Smitty77]

There will NOT be a Cavs match up in the 2nd round.  The Bucks will beat us in 6 or 7.  Good night.  It is over.  It was a very nice one year run.  We got our ring and NO ONE can take it away from us.  Sorry guys, but this is likely the truth.
