Rightfully so there will be a lot of buzz the next couple days about Rondo coming back out to play after such a nasty injury. He is definitely one tough guy and made a difference in that run out there both statistically and emotionally.

Let’s not forget why we were in that game in the first place mid way through that third quarter to make that run. KG was absolutely at his best. They could not stop him whatsoever and he demanded the ball down low in the post when it mattered. He ate them alive on that low block. To add to all of that he hit his outside jumper with confidence even when closely guarded, and then threw down 18 boards. KG stated before the game we were all in, and then he backed it up. Big huge props to the true heart and soul of this team. Without him we’d be down 3-0 right now instead of being in a position to tie it back up Monday.

KG was the key tonight.  He can abuse Bosh like that regularly, and if he does, we're winning this series.

Absolutely. He came out aggressive, looking for his shot, playing tenacious D. He destroyed Bosh. KG and the Truth lead the charge tonight. Great team effort.

Yeah KG was incredible tonight...we all know what he's going to do on the defensive end, but to put up 28-18 is pretty impressive.

Vintage KG tonight.

I give him a lot of credit, because he works overtime to get his teammates in the game offensively.

But, we're at a point where he has to be what he was tonight: An aggressive first scoring option in the halfcourt.

I give him props for recognizingthat.

KG DOMINATED tonight. He has the best matchup for the C's and it was much needed.

I hope his body lets him hold up because his will to win will always be there.

KG went back into 2004 mode tonight. Amazing game. I had never seen him rebound the ball like that as a Celtic yet.

He can certainly play like that in every game but doesn't so I hope he gets close to this level in game 4 (and at least play as aggressively).

Regardless of how this series and postseason turn out, we just saw one of the last great KG playoff performances.  Great to see.

To answer that "do you believe in KG" thread, YES.

KG just single handedly ate Chris Bosh's heart ... I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's crying right now in his hotel room ... and I mean it.

KG gets it, too. Finally. He seemed to acknowledge his need to be very aggressive (i.e. taking 20 shots a game) for the rest of this series. I mean, honestly, he's healthy and pretty much unstoppable if he decides to post up. And...it sounds like Doc and the team have finally convinced him they need him to be that guy for the rest of this series (and maybe the postseason). I mean, honestly, if KG gives us this kind of game, we'll beat anybody. He can't put up the minutes he used to, but he absolutely still has the same game. He might be a step slower, but he's still faster than anyone who'd be covering him.

KG is pretty unstoppable in the post. we need to post him up for 20shots against bosh/joel anthony every game....our advantage here should be a key in the series.

we also need to stay agressive game 4 if we hope to tie this up
