Celtics (3-3) at Heat (3-3) ECF Game 7 6/9

[Larry for 3]

+7.  I'll take it.

If KG can get through his first streetch of the 3rd without fouling, the 3 1st half fouls may be a blessing in disquise.  Only 13 minutes of KG's tread used up.

great point

[vinnie]

As I  have written twice already, exchange baskets the rest of the way and Celts win.

wow that is unreal! lebron hangs on the rim for forever and once the players clear up under the basket he pulls himself up using the rim... then right after that the c's call a t.o. and the camera shifts to lebron absolutely screaming at the refs and he doesn't get a T... yet doc gets one in game 2 for basically nothing...PATHETIC.

[Tenacious D]

C's playing well. Shots are falling. Holding onto the rock.  Bodes well.  Bench production, tho is worrisome. Pace your starters, Doc.

I gotta say, we are really playing against both the heat and the refs in tonight's game. It's so obvious that it's sad. It really is.

We looked great. A few mistakes I think we could really do without, but we are just getting some pretty bad calls against us. Ray hit his third 3 in the first quarter, and it's waved off on a phantom offensive foul? Now I can maybe see calling KG for his second foul, but that third one was a total joke.

However, I won't get mad about that third one because it was a blessing in disguise. Bass went off, and really played some fantastic basketball. Ray is really showing every aspect of his game tonight. Great defense, his three is falling, he's sneakily catching guys off the dribble. He's making some solid passes. Rondo is also playing smart and keeping the turnovers down.

At least we weathered a storm somewhat, and got off to a good start. I wish we hadn't given the Heat the ball back off of that Pietrus offensive rebound, but it could be worse, I suppose. Celtics are really playing hard tonight, and it shows.

[JoT]

Great that they're up but I'm mad about losing that 11 point lead.
Now I hope they go into the third and finish this off.

Ray Ray and Bass having excellent games. Rondo has been serviceable.

Get ready for the whistles C's fans. They're going to flow freely.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

KG needs to stay foul free the whole 3rd quarter. hollins needs to keep stepping up and get rebounds and play defense.  

[NoraG1]

I still cannot believe no technical foul for LeBron hanging and doing pullups on the rim.

At what point do we just accept reality? Lebron is going to be protected. Period.

Reality is unacceptable then.  

[Senninsage]

We have to be very mindful of the refs in tonight's game. We really and truly do. they are not on our side, which they shouldn't be, but they clearly are on the Heat's side and I don't like it.

That dunk on Wade from Bass is absolutely a foul, and Bass didn't get the call.

Reality is unacceptable then.  

He also threw a kick at Rondo while he was hanging on the rim. Rondo has to be careful, they are trying to draw another tech on him.

[tgreanier]

KG needs to stay foul free the whole 3rd quarter. hollins needs to keep stepping up and get rebounds and play defense.  

Earning them or not, no way the refs let KG go long without another foul.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Boston needs a huge run to start the 3rd as a buffer and get the lead back to double digits preferable high double digits.....because miami will make a run...you just know it.

Get ready for the whistles C's fans. They're going to flow freely.

I am scared as hell of this

[blink]

I am sorry, I don't care how they have been calling it.  LJ hanging on the rim for 4-5 seconds and kicking his legs out at rondo is a *amn T.  

We just have to accept that we aren't going to get ANY calls tonight, play through it and be better than the heat and the refs.

We can do it!
