LOL at JVG "I'm not old, but I agree with you"

I love this man

Celts can't buy a basket. I think they are just weak mentally. They don't know how to fight the crowd on the road. That can be the only explanation.

Cavaliers are at home, their gonna come up with a lot more energy and probably be up by the end of the first. That's just how it is. The important thing is for Boston to continue to play their game in the 2nd quarter. I think Cavs will win this game because most teams win Game 3 when their the home team, and are down 0-2. The more important game will be game 4 that will determine how this series goes.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

Boston needs to limit Rondo's playing time. Cavs don't have any penetrators at the PG spot. They should start Cassell and have Allen or Pierce run the offense when Cassell needs a break. Rondo's inability to make a shot is killing the Celts right now.

lots of teams are very weak mentally..the difference between playing at home and on the road shouldnt be as big as they have been in this 2nd round.

And so the Celtics road issues continue - wow

I didn't really expect them to, but so far, they have

As good as Boston has been at home, I don't think you can rely on winning all or most of your home games, without being able to win on the road.

They're going to lose games at home eventually...

boston just needs to drop 1 game at home this playoff to be out, they really can't match home teams energy or they will keep winning at home and win every series 4-3
