Celtics (0-1) at Cavaliers (1-0) Game 2 5/3

[mzepol]

Good game. C's hang on to survive the comeback from the Cavs. Now it's time to defend home court.

[Rondo_is_better]

I hope we`ve learned our lesson from this 4th quarter.

We didn't learn anything from the other 45 4th quarter near-collapses, though...

[Fafnir]

They barely one game 1, and the got man handled for 90 percent of game 2. I hope these game mess with the Cav's heads. I'm proud of the performance of the C's in the last 2 games. Now we just got to protect home court.

Which hasn't been their strong suit this season.

LeBron was tentative all game until it was too late, I don't think we'll see that again. Nor will we see Sheed hitting almost everything. This series is only going to get nastier and tougher.

The C's need to step up their intensity in Boston.

FANTASTIC effort by our guys---GREAT win--!!

Sheed was his OLD self from like 2004--

BUT, I just found out---

Refs for Friday Night:

Benette Salvatore
Bill Kennedy
Joey Crawford----!

oj my go.....sh. Kenndey AND Crawford!?! Its "official"--they league wants Bronnie Bron Bron to win.

[Tai]

Wow, Celtics nearly blew it in the 4th quarter yet still won the game by 18. I think it's clear who the better team was for 3 quarters. Again. 4th? We need to work on that.

Oh yeah, if Sheed shows up for the rest of this series, the Cavs are gonna be hurting more than Lebron's elbow.  

Ok, time for some TPs for everyone!!!

[Who]

Excellent win

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO not the trifecta of evil. This is a joke right? Tell me it's a joke 
We better get ready to play a 48 minute game if it isn't.

and they're re-instating Donaghy for Game 4.

[slamtheking]

great win but C's have once again shown they have problems playing a solid 48 minutes and the result was Cle only needed 5-6 minutes to cut a huge lead drastically.

looking forward to game 3 and seeing what the C's can do to hold serve on their court.

[nickagneta]

In my mind, Game 3 on Friday night is a must win. The team will have almost 4 days rest and if they can come out and win on Friday I think major doubt and memories of last year's ECFs start to creep back into the Cleveland psyche.

A win in Game 3 goes a long, long way towards putting the Cavs away.

Sure does.

[jdpapa3]

Best of 5 series with 3 games in Boston!!!!!!!!! I'm over the blown lead and am now feeling pumped. Gotta love the Cavs and their fans doubting themselves for the next 4 days.

[Tenacious D]

See you Friday, gents. Let's hope the Green is ready to bring. Oh, and Rahseed = TP (as the poet said, "the once despised Blake tore the cover off the ball").

Agreed.

The next one can be a difference maker. We've got a shot in this thing!
