The price of our total lack of focus Monday night looks pretty expensive right now.

If David Stern decides to uphold the horrific calls against Perkins, we have little or no chance Friday night without Perkins. Baby could be done for the series.

Almost two complete games now of totally unfocused, inept basketball. Terrible defense, no ball movement, terrible shot selection, no defensive rebounding.

It's VERY hard to get away with this kind of bad basketball in the playoffs. And for the record, we cannot win this series the way Rondo has played the past two games.

up 3-2 vs the magic and running out of gas...i saw this movie last year...i am afraid we are going to be be the answer to a trivia question pretty soon

i am not so sure now...they look to be struggling in every area

I would say the majority of us expected to the see the C's in this position before the series started. The series is still 3-2 and it really doesn't matter how it got that way.

If the C's can't win on Friday they were never suppose to win this series anyway.

sorry, but I call BS on this rationale.

You know what?  Coming into this series I was ready to be happy with anything, literally anything, that the Celtics gave me to be happy about in this series.  They'd already far exceeded my expectations, so I couldn't rightly be disappointed no matter what happened.

But now, after being up 3-0?  I can't do it.  I can't be satisfied with a total choke.  If the Celtics become a punchline - one of the biggest punchlines in the history of the NBA, synonymous with "choke" - then I will have a hard time even wanting to watch the C's play for quite some time.

No question it will hurt to be the butt of endless jokes but it hasn't happened. If the C's play their best the are still the better team.

mark my words, the magic are not winning this series. Whether it's friday or game 7, they will go down. The celtics are too proud and tough.
