Cavs (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Game 3 5/7

[Jon]

Very early.  Celtics not playing well.  Refs, as usual, making things worse.  Everything is going right for the Cavs.  Everything wrong for the C's.  That won't keep up.  

Anyone at the game who may be looking at this via cell phone, PLEASE attempt to knock out Bennett Salvatore with some sort of projectile.  That flagrant call on Perkins was ridiculous.  

Actually, I'm disappointed that the Boston crowd has yet to begin pelting the refs.  

[Tenacious D]

Something is seriously WRONG when Rondo is forced to take 9 shots in the 1st qtr. Big 3 same cold/tentative. RR can't pick up the slack (his un-jumper, niff said).

[Neurotic Guy]

C's missed a lot of open looks that could have changed the flow of this quarter. 

It's early though.  Let's win the second by 9.

[radiohead]

This is getting out of hand. The Cavs are playing well, and they're getting the better end of the calls yet again.  

[Mr October]

We have the worst fans in the NBA.

Wait. Why?

Lebron is just giving it everything he has. These things happen. There's time.

[j804]

Blowout.

Pierce looks 80 years old again, our whole team beside Rondo does.

[mahonedog88]

This game has the potential of being over at halftime.

71% shooting to 27% shooting...can we just let that sink in right now?

[tenn_smoothie]

i'll try again ............

can someone explain all the empty seats in the Garden tonite - especially at tipoff - that's an embarrassment for the Celts.

i have never seen that in the playoffs.

[celticinorlando]

we need paul pierce to actually start contributing

[Rida]

The sad thing is that when this refereeing crew was announced we knew that we were in trouble. We just had no idea, to what extent.

When ESPN comments on how bad the calls are, you know its bad.

I hope you happy Emperor Stern, keep fining people for talking about the refs, keep sweeping the problem underneath the rug.  Your Draconian measures fly in the face of free speech and civil liberties.

[RJ87]

Thank god for Finley right now. Stop the bleeding.

[FallGuy]

James may get 60 tonight.

[celticinorlando]

still no answer for james.

[tgreanier]

If the Celtics can get this thing down to 12 or less by halftime, I love their chances. Cleveland is way to hot to maintain it. Does not look good now, admittedly, but I know the Celtics can come back if they settle down and get back playing their game, especially on defense.

[BigBaby]

**** cavs getting credit for defense when it's just hacking not being called. meanwhile celtics have to back down on defense because the entire team is in foul trouble. oh stern facepalm.
