First post in thread.

I want some accountability here, from someone. There's no excuse for playing PJ Brown AND Glen "I'll take jump shots because I've become too lazy to bang" Davis more than Leon Powe.

NONE.

And Doc puts our starters back in the game with 7:00 left in the 4th. WTH kind of line-up is Ray, Cassell, Pierce, Brown, and Davis? Why not just invite Cleveland to start a lay-up line while you're at it?

Ray Allen can't even keep up with Glass Ankles Wally. Pierce talks about taking it to the rim and takes what, 2, 4 free throws?

And before the media jumps all over the kid (I can here Barkley about to say something stupid already): Rondo, aside from Garnett, was the ONLY ONE that showed up to play tonight!

I don't want Cassell or Ray on this team next year. I understand Sam's a liability defensively with his age, and both Delonte and Gibson are more athletic than he was even when he was younger, but there's no excuse at all for Ray. Doc should at least stick TA out there. What a joke.

Again, props to KG and Rajon for giving a crap. Everyone else played like a moron.

It's well-documented that role players are better at home - look at the vast bench difference splits home/away for this series. I really don't think Flopejao, Joe Smith, and Ben Wallace will do **** in Boston. With that said, KG needs to grow a **** sack and drive on the twigs guarding him. How can you get shut down by **** Flopejao? Thats just pathetic.

The Cavs did hit miracle shot after miracle shot, but if we were worth a damn we could overcome it. I gave them the benefit of the doubt until now, but losing both of these road games is inexcusable.

I knew it from the beginning when you brought your negativity to this thread. You're a curse, every time you post your negative crap, we lose.

Same here. Even during the regular season, he hasn't been much of a need.

This is gonna hurt, but we deserve to lose.
We look beat up every single game. Like we're dying out there, like we're on this dreadful mission to win the championship. All these high expectations have made this team play like this, and it sucks.
KG is great, but he does not take it to the hoop when we need him to, and all his intensity is rah-rah and swears. It's pointless if when they get intimidating we're not team enough to stop it.

Barkley needs to shut up dude. He doesn't watch Celtics all season and gives opinions. The other day he said Pierce is younger than Allen and Garnett, so he doesn't deserve a title as much.

If KG doesn't start taking over and going to the basket we will not be winning a championship.

Yup. And, coming from a longtime Pierce defender, the dude flat-out sucks now. He is KILLING the Celtics with his poor shot selection and turnovers. Why the pull-up threes with 20 seconds left on the shotclock, possession after possession, you idiot!??

So I suppose the best way to get back in the game is to brick 3 pointers down the stretch. Thanks, Pierce! I find it odd that I had more faith in P.J. Brown in the 4th quarter than Pierce, Allen, or Garnett.

Doc should've been fired long ago, bottom line.
it's bad sometimes that KG is not an arsehole like Magic or Jordan.
From Ray-Ray to KG to 2P

They threw up a ton of miracle shots with the shot clock running out all night. We on the other hand couldn't make a layup.

I would not deal him this summer. He's still not all the way back from the ankle surgery.

Couldn't we have gotten Jason Richardson instead?
