Celtics (0-0) at Cavs (0-0) Game 1 5/1

[hpantazo]

Varejao + Hickson played a combined 13 minutes.

If they are only playing around 25mpg ... Boston is the favourite in this series.

If the Celts play the defense they did in the first half, they're favorites regardless.

exactly. the defense was phenominal

After we win this game are all the stories going to be about Rondo's dominating play or Lebron's elbow?

It's okay. Say it. We already know the answer. Lebron's elbow!!!

[FallGuy]

The Celts played as good as you could have hoped in that half. Just awesome stuff from Rondo, KG, Perk, everyone.

BUT.....

Bogus calls are a concern and LeBron played like garbage. I don't buy the elbow thing for a second--he can turn it on at any second. Can't you see the announcers falling all over themselves to talk about LeBron's "grit" and "will" getting over his "injury"? He's not going to be that bad all series, and the C's need to be ready.

Reggie and Marv can't fawn over the Cavs enough to suit Stern and the national audience.  Sad really.  Seems like whenever the C's make good plays it takes them by surprise and they under play it.  Man I miss Mike and Tommy

Oh please. They've been raving about Rondo and Pierce and Garnett all game.

The key to this series right now, is the Celtics playing a full 48 mins. They just need keep their collective foot on the pedal and show some killer instinct.

I think the key to this series is the next 24 minutes.  Of course, that will change each step of the way.  However, since I believe the Cavs will take 1 of 2 in Boston --  the C's need this one.   

24 minutes.   Ray is 0 for 2 from 3.  A Ray run this quarter.

Not only that, Reggie correctly identified the two really bad calls.

you know lebron will do better in the 2nd half. if nothing else, he'll throw himself into our guys and get foul shots.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

I don't think we're listening to the same game apparently as I hear them start the 3rd quarter fawning over Bron's score and a muted comment about Garnett scoring

[get_banners]

TP. I hate Reggie, just really awkward announcing from him, but am a huge Marv fan.

There isn't a conspiracy from Marv and they have given tons of props to The Celtics when they've deserved it.
