Victory Cigar 3/20/08 - Texas Triangle Sweep

Truthiracy · Post #1 » by **Truthiracy** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 3:08 am

What a game, Ray Allen comes back and drills the game winner, Posey shows up and shoots well, Pierce and KG missing some clutch shots down the stretch but that did not matter.

First Texas sweep since 86-87, end up finishing 6-0 vs Texas for the season, and currently sit at 55-13.

I'm giving this one to Ray...

Ray, was resting while the team gave away the lead. Comes in drains a 3 like it was nothing, and celts win. Awesome!

I voted Pierce. Allen's 3 was amazing, but you can't count out that stretch that Pierce took matters into his own hands and kept us in the game.

Paul Pierce has to get this one. He was the only player on our team able to get us points through the most grueling stretch of the game. Also, he's been totally overlooked the last two times!

Ray was also resting while the team got said lead

gave it to Paul, tired down the stretch and missed freethrows that wouldve kept the lead under control but he came in right after the bench was floundering, steadied the ship, and got the lead.

gave it to ray even though paul was a major factor in this win.

I gave it to Garnett for his defensive plays to keep us alive.

I'm going with Ray, although I can understand why people are picking Pierce. I just felt that Ray hit clutch shots all through the game, not only that one at the end.

We really are playing as a team. That's what makes it so hard to pick these days. There is not a single guy who comes in that doesn't contribute. That's awesome!

Wow, how could anyone go with Ray over Pierce in this game.

22 pts, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 ast, and a key steal and singlehandedly brought the Celtics to a tie by scoring 7 straight points to get them back in the game and took it to the whole every time they struggled to score. Ray hit a couple of clutch shots, but c'mon!

Ray Ray hit the BIG 3 but Pierce did his thing throughout the Whole entire 4th Quarter.

Pierce gets my vote.

I didn't get to see the game tonight, but what was up with Rondo tonight?
0/3/1 in 22 mins going 0-7. I know stats don't generally justify Rondo's performance, but that's downright blount-esque.

Bad back

Back injury.

Either way, bad games happen.

Paul, he put the team on his back when they needed it the most and kept them in the game.

Pierce! He was great at getting to the basket and forcing fouls when we were down by 7. He brought us back into the game at that point. Great game by him.

It's obvious, without Ray we wouldn't have had a guy to go to from beyond the arc. I mean, Pierce and House are good, but Ray is deadly. If he didn't make it a 2-point lead, we wouldn't have won the game.

Pierce, no question.

Ray took the air out of the ball way too frequently and his actions threw the whole offense into discombobulation. How many times does Ray need to shoot over two people on a pick-and-roll and the picker is wide open at the tin?

Yeah, big shot by Ray and kudos for that but I honestly believe we wouldn't have even been in that situation if Ray doesn't F-up the flow like he did.

Also nice to see Big Felatio's ass glued to the pine. Despite often playing with inside position with complimentary gift-wrapped minutes via Doc, Fatty McBuckets has recorded 17 defensive rebounds over his last 231 minutes. For those counting at home, that is one defensive rebound every 13.6 MP. Oh yeah, in that time he has also put up 16 turnovers or one turnover every 14.4 MP. No more freakin' Davis, already.

On a night where nothing was falling for anybody (except that biggie at the end) Paul just kept getting to the line. No way we win the game without him drawing all those fouls in the fourth.

Love how he kept locking guys arms under his. Reggie anouncing the game must have given him inspiration.
