Celtics (3-0) at Heat (0-3) Game 4 4/25

[celticinorlando]

I would like to thank DOC RIVERS for wearing out his BIG 3 in the 3rd quarter---By playing them ALL the ENTIRE time----THUS leading to 5 MISSED free throws to LOSE this game for us....GOOD Coaching there.

Once again, you need to chill.  Yeah, we choked the last 4 minutes, but no defense in NBA history could have stopped Wade from having that 4th quarter.  If Wade didn't magically go into NBA Jam "HE'S ON FIRE!!!" mode, this series is over.  There wouldn't have been a chance to choke late in the 4th.

He was on FIRE---cause they decided to STOP playing defense after the 3rd---They let Miami just bring the ball up with NOBODY near them-!

Now your just being silly or argumentative. We all saw the game. They did not "stop defending wade" by any stretch of the imagination. TA was in his jersey on two of the 3 pointers, and they doubled wade everytime he touched it down the stretch.

IT really is ok to admit an opposing player, more so a great one like wade, played a great game. No one's going to revoke anyone's celtic fandom status if they admit Wade tore us up  

We could have been tighter to start and to finish, but lets give wade his due. he was hitting clutch shot after clutch shot to bring them back.

The good news is, he won't be able to play atlas for 3 more wins in a row, We'll beat them game 5 when there bench and wade don't have the crowd to pump them up.

and, hopefully, when two of our star players don't pick up 3 ticky tack fouls early in the first half  

Did you see Boston just LET Miami dribble the ball Full court the ENTIRE 4th-?....THAT's what I'm referring too---They were too Comfortable when the got into their offense---and, Wade went off because of this.

wade made 3s. he didnt drive to the basket at all. i prefer was shooting 3s that driving. he is a 30 percent shooter from 3. i like those odds.

do you expect richardson to score more than 10 points tuesday? or beasley? i dont

ok...Boston Wins on Tuesday--I'll stop now.

yes they will. boston will win tuesday and this time next week we will be obsessing about the cavs

Doesn't Wyc make more money from a 5 game series than a 4 game sweep due to 3 home games vs. 2?

Thanks for saving me the time orlando, apparently this was a different game he saw where wade was driving the lane, not hitting jumpers.

[celticinorlando]

i think this is a chance to make the garden a tough place to play. i think the energy will be high and boston wins going away....

[tenn_smoothie]

i never gave a lot of credence to the belief that the NBA office directly or indirectly influences their officials to extend playoff series for the sake of television $$$$$$.

but dwayne wade was barely touched on a lot of those foul calls against the Celtics ............ as if the officials were determined to at least give miami all the chances they could to win this game.

it looked pretty blatant to me.

the foul on ray leading to 3 FTS was horrible...

what about the foul called on finley in the 1st when wade came flying down the left wing on the break and got the basket +1 - finley made an obvious effort to not foul the guy - that call was when i became suspicious.

I'm pretty sure he is one of the hosts or loudmouth regulars on Ordway's show who love to gain attention by pushing the panic button for no reason whatsoever at this point.

[celticinorlando]

it is like that scene in the matrix where they see the oncoming subway train...it is only a matter of time before this ends. boston played its worst quarter of the playoffs...and then came back to go up in the 4th....they missed FTS (ray and KG) and layups...d wade went off from 3...didnt come out of the game and has a bad leg

unless wade goes for 40 plus again..i cant see the other heat guys stepping in and picking enough up to push them to a win..on the road

Maybe Ray got a bonus for missing those 3 straight---HE SHOULD.

NO, I'm only one of the LOUDMOUTHS here.   but I'm usually correct.

[celticinorlando]

would you rather be atlanta today? the lakers today? the mavs today?

boston had a game to play with...they played flat...got down by 18 and came all the way back..they were only 5 missed FTs from winning..oh yeah..the other team had a guy score 45 and make shots out of his arse to do it.

i would be more concerned it another heat player went off on boston

[pengaloo]

Better to make mistakes and learn from them now when we're up two games than to just cruise and then get wakeup calls in Cleveland. Ray's not going to miss consecutive free throws again and neither will KG. Rondo will adjust to being defended by Wade. We're not going to turn the ball over 10 or so times in the first quarter.

As the other series are showing, even great teams lose games.  I think people also have short memories about the Celtics championship teams of old.  Very seldom did any of them sweep any series.
