Who else thinks after the game last night KG is going to continue to be aggressive throughout the series? I hope so if we are to get 18 he needs to be.

I was loving it even if he doesnt put up the offensive numbers I think he's going to command doubles and more attention getting Ray going today. It was like last game he finally realized if the smaller Anthony is on him he can abuse him with his height. Bosh as well dont always pick and pop take it to him he's not known for being physical and KG owned him before.

I think something clicked in each one of their heads. I don't think they are going to let up on the intensity.

So many things happened on Sat that galvanized this team.
Reality set in with those 2 loses and I don't believe they want to go out this way.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

I sure hope so. 

They were working with plenty of rest (not that that helped in Game 1).  KG played extended minutes in the 3rd period the other night.  It was impossible to take him out he was dominating so much.  But still.  Big minutes.  Necessary...but unusually big.

KG has only played 7 games in the last month. He's gonna be fine. Also, this doesn't seem to be a particularly tough series for him since they don't have big men leaning on him for most of the game.
We all think we know more than we really do....

They have no one that can defend KG in the paint.  He needs to live down there.

I think KG finally realized that we are going to be eliminated if he doesn't play like that. Fact is, he's going to have an advantage over Bosh (who isn't exactly bad, but can't play great D on KG), and we need him to exploit it every chance he can. Miami is better at the wings by a bit (no offense, but LeBron and Wade are 2 of the top 5 players in the league), and not that far behind at the 1 (depending how Rondo plays, and if they finally just play Chalmers) and the 5 (if they play Anthony).

I agree. He likely won;t put up equal offensive numbers BUT yes that defensive mindset will still be there as well as the renewed energy. Also if KG isn't in 20 shot mode, I believe we are long over due (2 games) for a Ray Ray sniper show.

Since they will likely go after KG then Pierce on D, I see Ray getting alot of open looks.

Let's go C's!!!
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I think he is going to go after Bosh like he did Jamison last year.

KG is a shark. Bosh's comments after Game 3 let off the scent of blood.

I expect KG to go after Bosh from baseline to baseline tonight. He's gonna get physical with Bosh on both ends.

And the crowd has to pour salt on Bosh's wounds.

Schuman reports that Spolestra said that he's definitely considering bringing a double at KG. I happily welcome him to do so.
