The refs are not gonna be on the side of the team that rarely creates contact inside as opposed to the team that does it frequently and consistently.



This is SO accurate.
Is that an excuse to swallow whistles even when the former team's players get hacked?

I feel pretty good about the Celtics evening things up but that won't change my initial prediction that the Bucks will win.

Game 5 is going to be the most important game of the year. There is no way we lose game 4 at home (unless we stop passing together and going to the basket again). Going back to Mil 2-2 we HAVE to win game 5 as well. We've got our work cut out for us. We might not have the best player but we for sure have the better team. lets go.

What about the way the last two games have gone makes you think that there's "no way" that the Celts could lose game four?

It's not as though the Celtics weren't trying, or that the bucks were playing above themselves.

I believe Paul Pierce should be replaced after his ridiculous prediction that the Celtics were going to beat the Bucks in the series after winning game 1.   I like Paul but he is a joke as a Celtic homer...

The odds say the winner of game three that takes a 2-1 series lead is by far the favorite to win the series.  If the Celts lose game 4 the Bucks win in 5.

Game 3 was supposed to be the most important but the Celtics let that slip away. Game 4 is now the most important and must-win. This team is not safe both away and at home.

I still believe we are in this series.  If we can somehow win game 4 it is a whole new ball game.  I knew this series was going to be tough, I mean it was tough last year and we barely advanced.  I like the extra time off between games when we laid an egg a bit in the 2nd half.  It gives us more time to watch film, get mad / motivated and gives Smart a better chance to come back for game 4.

The refs weren't the reason we lost game 3, but when Brown picked up his 5th foul the game seemed to change.  Brad held him out for a while and that was when things started to go bad.  I think we were down by 8 at that point, still not out of reach. 

Call me crazy, but I am saying Boston in 7.

Logic says it’s either bucks in 5 or bucks in 7. The fan in me wants to believe in the improbable though

Even with the bad reffing last night, they still had a chance. The issue was not really the bad calls. It was the fact that the Cs got zero production from their bench (ahem Hayward) and the Bucks got like 30 pts from George Hill and Pat Connaughton. That was the game.

I said going into the series we would need to win 2 on the road. So if we win on Monday I think we have a good shot.

I said that I thought Game 3 was a must win for Boston and I'm sadly holding firm to that.  Boston might win game 4, but that is far from a given, but I don't think Boston wins this series.  Boston had to win game 3.

2004 taught me to never give up and always believe and now is no different. One game at a time. Win on Monday and then its a three game series.
