We're back to our regular time on Sunday night this week, to give Justin some "snuggle" time with new born, Alexandra.

We hope you will join us and our guest, the immortal Mike Gorman, 26 years the television announcer for the Celtics, who will be filling in for Cedrick Maxwell tonight, as color man on the radio feed, with Sean Grande.

There are very few observers of as many Celtics' playoff games as Mike and he obviously has a good feel for this team as evinced by his glowing reports from training camp in Rome this summer, when most of the other commentators were hedging their bets.

Win or lose, Mike's the one who has seen it all.

The Associated Press is reporting that Ben Wallace is "unlikely to play" tonight, as Wallace did not participate in today's workout.

The Cavs described his ailment as a combination of allergies and an infection in his left ear. They listed him as doubtful for Game 3, but following his team's workout at Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland coach Mike Brown said his best interior defender "most likely will not" play against the Celtics.

The one thing the Celtics didn't count on was the rest of the Cavaliers getting hot.
They contained LaBron (5-16) but the rest of the team shot: 32-53.
By the 2nd quarter, Cleveland was really feeling it and playing some tough defense of their own, shutting off every attempt at a comeback.
They have the size to give us trouble in the paint and when their outside shooters are hot they are a real challenge.
I look at the game one victory (could have gone either way) as huge.
Don't despair; these series go 7 games and there are lots of twists and turns.
I remember the 1987series when we won the 1st game in L.A. by about 35 points, when Wedman had about 8 threes ( I figured it was all over) and we still lost the series, so anything can (and probably will) happen.
