Don't give up on the Green after Game #3...
We know about Philip's 47-0 after winning Game #1 of a playoff.
But the last time someone came from 1-2 to win the O'Brien Trophy? The team with the leprechaun logo and the parquet floor. The Lakers took a 2-1 lead on 6/3/84 at the Forum with a 137-104 drubbing of the C's. But the C's would fight back with a hard-fought 129-125 OT win in #4. Then Larry Legend, K-Mac, Chief & Co. took #5 with a 121-103 victory. But Team KC failed to seal the deal in #6 back in Inglewood. But, before the largest television audience for an NBA Finals, title 15 (and another Red Auerbach victory cigar) came on 6/12/84. C's 112, Showtime 103. So, just like '84, 2010's game #3 was a disaster. But think about the '84 Finals. Getting #18 CAN BE DONE! (By the way, the last time the Lakers had a title defense, they led 2-1 against the Spurs in the '03 West semis, and San Antonio blew out the Lakers 110-82 on 5/15/03 to end L.A.'s 4-peat bid.) I'm not giving up on the Green. Listen to those 2 words KG yelled when he was interviewed by Michele Tafoya of ABC after game 6 of the Finals....ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE! #18's gonna happen. And we're going to win in L.A. Let's do it!

Who is going to be our Larry Bird and call out the Celtics this year? Not sure if it can be Pierce, but hopefully someone is doing it in the locker room and making sure all of the playesr are accountable for their performances in the first three games.

i am not worried about game 3. it is over. boston still can go back to LA up 3-2. and they play better on the road. game 4 is a must. they lose game 4...it will be over. but right now i am really not concerned. boston will adjust and play better in game 4. i will say they will blow LA out in game 4...10 plus points

Vinnie, TP and great question about who will be our LB, but just as important is the question of who is going to be our McHale to Rambissize someone to square up what Artest did to RA last night and the 8 stitches in the mouth that TA got courtesy of Kobe Bryant.

We can still come back and win this series.

It's not over.

This team has been compared to the '68-'69 Celtics. 

The same 68'- '69 Celtics who were down 2 games to 1 against the Lakers in the Finals.

We can do this.

If Miami can come back from 0-2 (and thus, 1-2 as well), we definitely can, also.  Especially because, under normal circumstances (i.e., Ray not missing everything), we would have won last night's game.

The Celtics also came back from 1-2 against Cleveland just 2 weeks ago!

Lets do it again! Go Celtics!
