lets get ready to rumble, hopefully Doc ran through the offensive sets in practice. We need to win a game n the offensive end.

Offense comes and goes, so long as we lock down the Cavs, we will be alright.

It will be interesting, because even though we are 1-0, the first game was so weird with 3 all-stars going missing that it is almost like the series hasn't started.

I hope Doc coaches like he did in the second half, not the first half (sitting Rondo when he was that hot? Arrrgh)

lets go! we CANT afford to lose this game one bit. would be nice if the C's played with a sense of urgency for 48 mins per game as if their back is against the wall. we can't lose this game. this game is just as important as game 1 was.

please ray allen, please wake up, & you too pierce! we need the big three to be the big three & not the big one! i would be ecstatic if they each get between 15-20 each. i would say that would equal a win, but i dont care who gets what. we just need contributions from all three, more so than the last 4 games.

does anyone else have a feeling that ray is going to get hot sometime soon? b/c i DONT.

i expect this to be a ROUGH game. a few techs, more POOR officiating. lebron will get to the line about 16 times or so.

lets go celtics!!!!! take a 2-0 series lead & we'll be in great position.

Hopefully Cleveland doesn't pull an Atlanta on us if we go 2-0.

Whack 'em, stack 'em. I hope this game is more exciting than the last. That **** reminded me of a Heat vs Knicks game of the 90s, minus the brawls that actually made that **** bearable to watch.

I think this will be a more dominant win than the last one. We must go up 2-0.

Our offense looked awful - not enough ball movement and poor execution. Doc needs to straigthen this out. We need to win this series of the offensive end.

We should try to exploit the D. West/Rondo matchup until they get smart and put Gibson on Rondo. We should go after the Wally/Ray Allen matchup..

Pierce is the only guy who should be having quiet games. I'd like to see 10 shots out of Pierce but a bunch of assists.

Where is Mang for the pregame speech? If we win and go 2-0 I think we'll at least win the series in 7. They need to play like its an elimination game.

Lebron will probably score 43 tonight, but as long as we win I don't care.

^^I agree, where's mang?

I predict we win by double digits...I'll guess 98-85.

This is a big game for Cleveland because I really believe that Boston will definitely win a game in Cleveland. All that talk about Boston can't win on the road because of the Atlanta series will have the Celtics motivated in Cleveland.

If the Celtics win tonight and go up 2-0, don't be surprised if the series goes 5 games.

Go Celtics.

Jesus needs to take at least 10 shots this game! Im not saying force up shots, but they need to run some plays for him mayb some isos on Wally.

Pierce will come around he can create his own shot and hopefully get Lebron into foul trouble, as long as he doesnt have 6 TO's, and go 2-14 ill be happy.

I actually think Pierce will have a HUGE game!!

MUST WIN GAME!!!!

I don't expect a good game from LBJ. Actually, he's VERY inconsistent and mediocre in playoff games on the road. If you look at it, his shooting percentage is never good on the road in the playoffs. Plus this is the best defensive team in 20 years.

I'll be there to get the Garden rockin and rollin baby!!!!
