Heat (2-1) at Celtics (1-2) Round 2 Game 4 5/9

[celticinorlando]

That last play in regulation was very frustrating.

Garnett never came to set screen ... force Pierce into a really low percentage isolation play against LeBron and a very poor shot attempt.

Ray Allen got in the way of KG going to set screen. Twice. In one possession. Ugh.

yep. more frustrating was james' hitting the 3 to tie it up late in the 4th. PP was right there and played great D

Heart breaking loss.

yeah, that was a pretty good example of our season.  C's are their own worst enemies and can't get out of their own way.

[Roy H.]

Heart breaking loss.

Yeah.  The second worst one in recent memory.  (Nothing beats Game 7).

Just one of the many frustrating aspects of this game.  That last play was so terribly drawn out but at least if the play itself is gonna be crappy, at least execute it man.  They couldn't even execute it.

[Celtic]

This was one of those games that the C's had multiple chances to close out, but just didn't come through, that's why I think they win in game 5. In my opinion this team has too much pride to repeat any of the errors they made tonight. I expect to see KG really fired up for the next game, I also expect Rondo be more aggressive and really attack the basket.

Oh yeah, LeBron made some tough shots down the stretch tonight.

Unlucky.

If only that Rondo kid could convert a layup, this series would be tied up right now.

Oh yeah blame the guy playing with ONE ARM.  

He has been doing stuff like that all year. It finally came back to kill us when it really mattered.

If you really think that's the reason we lost this game, than I don't know what else to say...

[barefacedmonk]

Last year sucked royally too....winning and losing is part of the game...I just hate losing to Kobe and LeBron. Can't stand them.

[GrandTheftRondo]

LOL @ ppl blaming the loss on Rondos missed layup. It doesnt matter that KG was 1-10 from the field or anything. Nope. Doesnt matter that we had 17 turnovers. Nope. That missed layup was what killed us 

[greensquirrel]

The younger and healthier team won. But the Celtics put up a fight and I expect them to do so in Wednesday, too.

I like your thoughts and want to believe you but I just think than more than anything the tired legs killed this team today and won't help them either on Wednesday (not enough rest).

[barefacedmonk]

Win all three now? This series just keeps getting harder.

[celticinorlando]

nothing compares or ever will to game 7. give james and wade credit. they hit some big shots

[Who]

This Rondo injury is just a killer blow ...

This game and the rest of this series would have looked and would look so much different with a healthy Rondo.
