I think you have to give it to both BBB and Pierce (and really the whole team). The Celtics have hearts of champions. Never underestimate the heart of a champion! [I will say that it really really seems like the refs have been cheating Boston throughout the playoffs. Some of the fouls they have been called on Boston have been questionable at best, while many of the others have been straight B.S. For Boston to win these games with the refs cheating as they have been, is impressive]

I give it to Doc. By far his best coaching game in the playoffs. By far.

As a Magic fan, you guys are idiots if you don't give this to Glen Davis. He played a hell of a game and you guys would be going home down 3-1 if it wasn't for him and those last two clutch jumpshots. PP did a lot, yes, but foul trouble kept him from doing more and like I said... in the end the only play that matters in this game is the buzzer-beating game-winner.

I have to say Baby. He hit a game-winning shot, so that automatically grants the victory cigar, in my book.

I gotta give it to Big Baby for his shot, but it's worth mentioning if he had shot his FTs decently never would of had to make that shot.

Also kudos to Perk for toughing it out after tweaking his shoulder and playing very well.

I voted for Pierce because Davis' two made shots were clutch. But, it was Pierce's offense that provided the team consistent scoring. Ray was missing in action, again. And Pierce was the one who made the pass to Davis who saw that Lewis moved off of him. It's like in football, fans always credit the player who'd made the catch but never the player who'd made the equally impressive pass to begin with. In my opinion, it's Pierce, Rondo, Rivers, Perkins and then Davis and teammates.

If Boston hadn't lost the lead, Davis' shots might not have been needed. Those might have been Ray's made shots.

Ya know Baby has come a long way as far as expectations when going 9/14 21 points and 6 boards the only two buckets of the last 7 mins of the 4th quarter including the game winner gets him 5th on the list.

The real interesting thing to me is the amount of love Pierce is getting. He didn't score a point after the 4:30 mark in the 3rd quarter going 0-3 in 7 mins. What gives? Is it the fact that he passed the ball on that last shot?

Sully:

Answer: 27 points on 60% shooting and something like 9-10 FTs. Carried the team on his back almost by himself. Did not score in the last 8 minutes or whatever, but played great D, rebounded well and made great passes including the one to baby for the gamewinner. No Pierce, we get absolutely slaughtered. And he would have gone for 35-40 at least without rigged foul trouble.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Defense, for one thing. He radically outperformed the guy he guarded. Davis didn't.
