"Just a frustrated message board troll. The NBA is a travesty."  -Q

Man all we have to do is rum them off the 3 point line and Rondo has to control the tempo bad game but coulda been a whole lot worse I think we'll pull out the W in game 2 iont even wanna go to the game thread its prolly pandemoneum in there

boston will shake off the rust and win game 2. i dont see wade and james jones scoring 39 and 23 points again. I expect we see a better rondo and pierce.

i am concerned that the refs will not allow boston to defend without calling fouls on them

Is anyone else is shocked as I am to look at the score and only see a 9 point loss? Feels like we got blown out by at least 15. Definately some positives from the second half. Just gotta get better. Oh yeah, one more thing, Delonte, STOP TRYING TO DUNK

I'd add Pierce and KG to the con list.

The only one who should be pro is Ray. Everyone else played like crap...which is why I'm pretty optimistic heading into Game 2.

turnovers gave miami 25 points. that is the ball game

[kg is king]

I would add KG's defense on Bosh as a major pro. That block at the end of the game was nasty.

Tommy just threw out an F bomb in the post game show.

I thought Rondo was fine other than foul trouble.  His mistakes at the end were more a result of chaotic rally energy than carelessness.  His defense was also very solid. Other than Ray, he was the biggest reason we made so many runs in the 2nd half.  Overall, we outscored Miami with him on the floor.

Glen Davis should probably be added to the cons though.  He made some major defensive errors and a tremendously costly turnover at the end of the 1st quarter.  Pierce also had some very costly (and unforced) turnovers during that period although he redeemed himself somewhat with his hustle, fire and hot shooting in the 2nd half.

Jeff Green had a bit of a rough game offensively.  I'd really like to see him convert at a much higher %.  He's getting pretty good looks.  Defensively he was ok on LeBron. 

KG continued his rough shooting from the earlier series.

rondo needs to slow it down a bit...and not get into foul trouble

[CelticSooner]

Glen Davis should probably be added to the cons though.  He made some major defensive errors and a tremendously costly turnover at the end of the 1st quarter. 

Baby may need a category of his own. Maybe he'll quiet down after another pitful game.

And yet Ray's man went off more than anybody.  Captain definitely in the 'con' for losing his cool.

james jones will NOT shoot like that again.
