Celtics (4-0) at Heat (4-1) 5/1 Round 2 Game 1

Honestly, what do you expect when you've got Glen Davis in for more minutes than Rondo and JO?

I swear to god 99% of this team's problem relates back to how much Doc plays Glen Davis, who is seriously beyond bad

[droopdog7]

Getting outplayed.  Plain and simple.

Can some people stop acting like we aren't trying. Sometimes, you just get beat. And we are getting beat.

[PosImpos]

So, anybody want to blame the trade?  Thunder didn't look great today, either, and I'm pretty sure Perk would not have helped at all in this game so far.

Also, Jeff isn't looking so hot with that "Rondo will average a triple double in the series" prediction.

Miami's 3p%  will drop, we'll be fine.

game 2 becomes the season...because i can see miami winning a game in boston. rest vs rust...i guess the rust is just too much today

[mc34]

Holy crap Delonte, stop trying to dunk. Rondo, its on you to get the offense going, lets gooooo

they will be fine maybe in game 2...but today is done. this team doesn't come back from big leads this season

[Kiorrik]

Did this board just become slower than a granny or what?

[hpantazo]

We missed a lot of shots that we make, which lead to heat breaks and points, and our guys in foul trouble. Unfortunately we also played poor perimeter D and let Jones and Wade absolutely kill us.

[Drucci]

Tough deficit but we can still win. We basically played without Rondo for the first half and we paid the price, now he has to stay out of foul trouble and attack and our offense will look really smoother (or just smooth). Pierce has to wake up too. And Doc has to play JO, what's going on?! He has played 5 minutes in the entire half.

Also Wade was simply ungarduable in the last two minutes, good D but amazing offense/luck.

I remember a similar issue last season -- we all thought the rest would do the Celtics good, but they came out rusty.

Rondo´s in foul trouble. JO could still be hurt, who knows.

Baby wasn´t nearly as bad as you make him out to be.

yeah...big time.

THE GAME IS NOT OVER YET! e.g. Game 5 2008 Finals

Let them get all warm, cuddly and comfortable with their unbelievable half of basketball. We will slay them in the 2nd half

[RJ87]

Call me crazy, but I think we still have a shot to win this game. I don't expect Paul, Ray, KG, or Rondo to look at the score right now and think "this game is over, on to Tuesday", they just have too much pride for that.

And I strongly believe that if we make a strong run, Miami will start to panic a little bit.

Its time for a gut-check: not just from the team, but from the fans as well. Go Celtics.
