Congrats on a great series from the Celtics fans

You guys are damn good. I don't care what any of you guys say about the roster or Mike Brown. Ya'll play some HELLAFIED defense. Good gracious, the Cavs can play some d. And Lebron, forget about it, that guy is only 23 years old and can't be stopped.

I know this was a tough loss, but you guys got Lebron so you are going to be good for the next, oh, I don't know, 15 years. MJ didn't win his first championship till like 28 or so.

What a series. Probably much tougher than Detriot. If the cavs had gotten past us, you guys would have made the finals and with that D you played you probably could have won it all.

Once again, what a series.

Seriously guys, awesome F'n series. As the Celts radio announcer said after the game, Lebron James is going to own the Nba. Its scary what he will be like when he gets an even borderline all star next to him.

Your fans are easily one of the best groups on this site and the Cavs will be back next year. Just good luck and my god Bron is just so freakin good lol.

Ditto. This series could have just as easily gone your way as ours. Tremendous playoff intensity from both squads

Congrats on a great series and great season. The Cavs have an awesome team and LeBron is the best player in the league without question. This series was a toss up. Look forward to playing you guys next year. :clap:

Great game 7 ..

The series was home to some hopeless offensive basketball from both teams but that game 7 made up for it.

I am glad delonte has found a happy home , we certainly miss him !

Good luck for the future, guys.
Just make sure you get some help for Lebron. You'll be the best team if you can give him a second fiddle.

Great series folks. LeBron showed why he is so great, and I was happy to see Delonte West doing so well. :clap:

Great series capped by a fantastic game -- the best of the series.

Everyone was waiting for LBJ's bust-out game and we got it today; fortunately for us C's fans Paul also had one in his bag.

I feel very fortunate we got through the series without any contribution for Ray Allen. But Wally did a good job on him and your team played extremely good defense overall. That goes without saying, really.

This is why you play for homecourt advantage. We needed it.

Tonight's game was the best of the postseason so far (even better than the SA/Phoenix 2OT). Two great players going off ala 'Nique/Bird in '88.

Great to see Delonte in a good position, too. He's a hellacious competitor and I miss seeing him in green.

Can't say enough about LBJ. It's scary what he does with that supporting cast. Tough loss, but with him you have a shot at the championship every year for years.

I know that Cleveland lost, but Lebron proved why he is the real deal. He almost carried the Cavs over a far superior Celtics team. I mean he took a team where there was no real "other" star and almost beat a team with KG, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce. Amazing what that man will be capable of when they get another all star playing with him.

You guys are right up there with the elite teams in the league. The regular season is really different from the playoffs.

Thanks fellas. Do us a favor and kick the Pistons arse.

Oh and if at all possible can you Bostonian's just spare us one championship in one sport, please??? We honestly dont care what sport you pick, but for those of us who werent alive 100 years ago, we'd like to know what a championship feels like before we die.
