....about Celtics losing today.

I'm glad there's Game 7.

No matter what happens, Win or Lose... I'm happy that they've played their heart out w/o Garnett and Powe. (even Posey and PJ Brown) They've done a very good job beating teams without our Star players.

One last thing... I just want to say Congratulations to Boston Celtics.

If they make the finals... they've prove themselves that they don't need their best player after all.

+1 , despite of many injuries.. we got on this stage.

I am not glad that there is a game 7. I would like to win!

And I am worried that we just can no put together a good game. We are short handed, so that is a part of the problem but this team hasn`t played its best game yet. Hopefully it happens on Sunday...

I'm am not overly worried but as depleted as our team is and the amount of heart they have showed I am not ready for our ride to end I'm still having too much god damn fun. Lets hope that fun continues.

I do NOT want them to lose this series, amid sympathy about being undermanned. First, I just don't want it. Second, I want to keep watching more basketball. Third, I don't want free agents to get the idea that Orlando is just one piece away from being a championship team, or something like that, and then turn that into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Inescapably, there are three elite teams in this league -- Cleveland, LA, and Boston. I'd like that number not to go up further for as long as it can be avoided.

Me neither. We are winning game 7. If those pansies come in the Garden sunday, and knock us out on a game 7...I would be so shocked. Like I said before...I would be more shocked if Orlando bumped us out, than if Chicago did. At least Chicago play like men. Orlando play like..pretenders. It's cool though. That's what happens when your coached by a porno star..

Anyways..seriously though. These guys have been amazing. Rondo and Perk have brought it almost EVERY NIGHT. Pierce has risen to the occassion when we most needed him so far. Ray carried us in the 1st round with clutch, amazing performances. Regardless of playing 40+ every other day, some times even 50+ like in the Chicago series. Our bench has done what it could do. Scal playing with a concussion, and still making it rain from 3 pt land, and doing a mighty fine job on Lewis. Eddie coming in big, with nice defense and amazing shooting. Big Baby developing into a great young big right in front of our eyes. We have every reason to be really proud of our guys. We are in game 7 of the east semifinals, with a team patched up with duck tape and bubble gum...lol. This team had every chance in the world to just crumble in the Chicago series after the Powe and KG news were broken down to us. But nope...they never quit. I'd hate to be anyone besides the Celtics next year. We are going to give them hell.

I'm proud. This group of guys is the best in the NBA and they're tough as nails, especially Scal.

I am worried, but I am also confident.

I'm not glad there's a game 7, but I'll definitely be cheering the C's on. We get into foul trouble and they keep feeding DH ... then we're in serious trouble and a loss is probable.

Stay out of foul trouble. Please!

Now, let's get KG to return in game 7 talk happening again.

I just hope to God Doc doesn't focus on getting Ray going. We need Pierce going. We need to feed him the ball.

We knew Orlando would win game 6...the desperation, plus who the refs were, it was easy to see. Plus the C's ran out of gas...

Game 7 is different...we'll win!!!

I thought the Celtics played one of their better games in Game 6 and I don't believe the Magic have the mentality to win a Game 7 in Boston.

We lost the game the moment they started double teaming Pierce...we had no answer to that, we made turnovers and were lost. Despite Rondos all around play I think it is time to go with Pierce at point forward and allen and House for longer stretches of the game.

This was a game we should made:
-they missed a lot of ft
-they missed a lot of open 3pt

We gave them a W with our turnovers.

Im always optimistic and believe in our team, but this is probably the first time this year I have a bad feeling. Ok it is our court, but Im afraid they will start hitting those 3pt...

I hope we win!!!

Me neither...this is a mentally weak team. If they do win, I will shocked, stunned, and will have to tip my cap to them. The fact they've needed to go to a game 7 against an injury-decimated team like Boston (with KG and Powe, we win this series in 5 games) as supposedly the 3rd best team in the East damns them...if they make it to the ECF they will get swept, plain and simple.

Actually we were the best 3 point shooting team in the regular season at 39.7%. ORL was 7th at 38.1%!

In the second round we are shooting 29.5% with Ray Allen with an amazingly bad 13.9%!?!?!? ORL is shooting 30,5% in the series...

So, I say it is time WE start making some threes! It is unbelievable how bad we have been, the biggest reason for that is obviously Ray but at home sooner or later they will have to start falling...

I agree about the Pierce double team thing. If we don't figure out what to do about that, our offense isn't going to look any better in Game 7. either someone else has to step up (rondo), or else pierce can't wait around for the double to come.

Except the fact is the Magic are missing their second best player as well.

AGAIN with the Jameer = KG ridiculousness? Seriously...

Yeah, I'll be proud of the Celtics, sure, but moral victories in the playoffs are still losses; awful, heartbreaking, season-ending losses.

I am worried about this game: the only thing this iteration of the Celtics have shown is inconsistency.

How about how heart-crushingly the Bruins lost last night? We need to be victorious at the Garden in game 7, unlike the B's...

Ugh...that was awful. A **** for Boston sports last night all around.

Just think what that one shot from Big Baby has meant in game 5.
