TA is the MAN of this game...the man..!!!!

[GreenFaith1819]

Yeahhhh!!!!!

Oooooaahhhh!!

Ubuntu!!!

2007-2008 Defense is back!!

Shut down one of the top three players in the game in Wade!!!

Teeeeaaayyee!!!!!

[twinbree]

Wow TA. Great effort. The whole team did well the last quarter and a half but he came in with great energy from start to finish.

"D" wins rings ...

1 down and on we go!!!

 

[Tenacious D]

glad to see that Sheed was nowhere to be found in the 4th qtr

Yep.

[barefacedmonk]

EXCELLENT D in the second half...TA is the MVP of this game.....there is no doubt that we can go far if we play this kind of defense....LETS GO CELTICS!

[slamtheking]

I don't blame the refs for the techs--they really couldn't have done anything else. The illegal screen call on KG before, however, was a huge momentum swing.

I guess a foul could have been called on the bump that Pierce took, but the refs have been letting them play so that's no big surprise.

HIT THESE FT'S BABY

If that was the case, there'd have been no foul on KG for that pick.  bogus call

[MaxwellSmart86]

Tony Allen....PLAYER OF THE GAME....!!

The game turned on a dime, EXACTLY at the point when TA got back in there in the 3rd-----Fantastic, he got into Wade's head BIGTIME-!.....Wade was ruining Ray Allen's life.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

hey i called the turnaround..that should rate a few tp''ssss! Huh?

[celticinorlando]

dont like KG getting ejected...but i do like the toughness and intimidation he showed. i highly doubt he gets suspended...the rondo heinrich ting last year was ton worse.


i think the frustrating part is that when the Cs want to play hard...they are very good. i wish they would do it from the tip

[kozlodoev]

glad to see that Sheed was nowhere to be found in the 4th qtr

Yep.

Sheed played at the start of the fourth and played well.

BIG win. Great vintage D from the middle of the third quarter on. Went into shutdown mode and didn't let up. Got the good and the bad of BBD there.

TA player of the game by a country mile. Great, great game from TA. On both ends of the court. Even looked good running the point there for a short spurt.

1 down, 15 to go.  We will sweep these thugs.

[Drucci]

1-0! We got the job done, another comeback win to add to this squad's resume.

Hopefully the next games will be easier.

The fight kind of spoiled the game at the end, I like this playoffs atmosphere but now there is an uncertainty about KG for the next game(s)... hope we will be fixed soon though.

TA, Baby, Rondo and Pierce saved our butts in the second half.

Great win. Good night everybody, TP's all around!

I definitely missed the playoffs atmosphere but it gets quickly back at ya.

[Thruthelookingglass]

As hard as that early third quarter was to stomach, the fourth quarter stretch was a nice reminder that the Celtics can really play when they want to.

And yeah, Tirico is awful. 

Glad everyone stuck around!
