Are we going to win this game

I hope so. I don't think so

two things i will looking at: 1st; how the Celtics NOT start BUT finish the 3rd quarter, They haven't closed out Quarters well. 2nd; How productive the bench will be in the 2nd half.

the key is if we can score respectably in the 4th

Delonte was on him for stretches this game. To no avail, Wade is just hitting right now

[Kuberski33]

I think the two quickies on Pierce and KG getting his 2nd relatively early affected the defense.  Plus, Wade just went off.  If he puts up 20+ in the 2nd half, we're not winning.

I expect D to be OK, I'm just worried about a cold spell when this team falls down by about 7 or 8.

SOMEONE off the bench needs to supply a shot in the arm and two of the Big 3 need to score a lot of points if we want to pull this out.

Can't say I'm optimistic.  But that's why the play the games....

Agreed. No Lakers' BS with this team.

[Neurotic Guy]

24 to go.  Play tough for 24 Boston and take this one!

[celticinorlando]

i just hope they can finish.

[Jon]

Still a chance.  That's all we can ask for.  

Time for PP to take over and KG to get back in the post.  

Would also like to see Jeff Green attempt to light it up.  He's the quickest guy on the floor other than Rondo.  Even when LeBron's on him, he should blow by him.

Stuck at work, just wanted to post quickly:

LET'S GO CELTICS!!!

Someone please take my role as cheerleader over for me

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WIN, BOSTON!!! I WANT MORE BASKETBALL OUT OF YOU THIS SEASON!!! PLEASE!!!

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Is this Kevin Harlan commentating? He is the worst, he just had a fit over that free throw line jumper Wade made to end the half, I'm so sick of these star-centric announcers who go crazy over Lebron and Wade to the point where you start wondering if they are fans of the other team, at least with Mike Breen I know he is a Knick fan and Celtic hater but this is ridiculous.

Those were good shots, won't you agree? And plus, he did the same to KG in the beginning of the game when KG was hitting everything

If Wade does something incredible then maybe but when he is hitting basic jumpers and getting that kind of call when Pierce barely got anything from him on that very difficult and 1 he made I think it's kinda ridiculous. Plus he's always acted like KG is still "the man" on Minnesota when he does Celtic TNT games but I still don't think it touches his Lebron and D-Wade mancrushes.

yes, not even close to the bs the lakers gave their fans
