This ones over folks

I came in believing hthat we needed to win game 3 to have a legit chance. Some will think I am crazy but I would not be shocked if PP was right and the celts didn't makes it back to LA.

I am def disappointed with the loss.

Am going to wait to see what happens in Game 4....but for god's sake...KG, Allen, Pierce, Rondo and Perkz....can you guys ALL show up for game 4.

Well, the good news is I don't think you're crazy. I think you need to think about it a little more and sound a little like a spoiled child. This series has a long long way to go. It is 2-1 now. There is a lot of basketball left to be played. If Ray makes 2 shots tonight we probably win. Just bad bad shooting. Offense stunk. And we barely lost. Throw in the towel if you like but I won't be by your side while you do so.

[dang] it guys don't you bail on me now.  Am I the only one who still believes?

Come on, we've pulled off bigger things than this.  We get game 4 and 5 and we head back to LA.

Let's go Celtics.  I still believe in Boston!

Like I said in the game thread,
This series isn't over until someone reaches 4 wins. No need to overreact to the loss - this should've been a blowout, we could've rolled over but we fought back and made it close.

So I'm not going to freak out. Ray gave us NOTHING. Pierce showed up in small stretches. We get more from them, this game is a win.

We're down 2-1 with 2 more games on our court. We win game 4, guess what? The series is tied again.

I hope the players don't have the same mentality has some of the fans on this board and see it through...

i think i've seen this thread somewhere before..

Tough loss, but certainly isn't over.

We won't miss this many shots on Thursday Night, I promise you that.

[misha]

Not over. We made it much more difficult but nothing is over. C's were also down 1:2 to the Cavs but pulled through.

Did a panicing Stan Van Gundy make this post ...Everybody Panic!!!!!!!!

[PosImpos]

C's just shot themselves in the foot tonight.  The Lakers look like a much better team through 3 games. 

That doesn't mean the series is over, but it certainly looks bad.

[RJ87]

Also, I'd like to add that none of our stars have played a great game all at once. Think about it: if Paul, Ray, KG, and Rondo could all play well in the same game, man...

I don't think you're crazy, just someone who overreacts and has a "the sky is falling' attitude after a loss.

Definitely still on board, though I am a little depressed right now.  One day to regroup and get it together for Game 4. It's still a little early to throw in the towel. It's only 2-1.

When I was thinking about it before the game, I was with you that the winner of game 3 would win the series. It's never really that simple though, and as we saw in the Cleveland series the Celtics can turn it around quickly. I'm not giving up on them.

[CelticSooner]

C's are now definitely in a tough spot. Pretty much need to win the next two in a row now. Just couldn't ever get over the hump tonight.
