Looks like we're going to have a game 7

Cavs win to force the 7th. But man, that was about as ugly a way to close out a game as I've ever seen.

We really miss Gibson. Wally did hit one big shot, but Sasha was just plain stupid.

We're a one man team on the offensive end, and have been for a few years.. But honestly, we've outplayed this team for a lot of this series..

For the teams that we've played throughout the years --Between Detroit of 06, 07 and San Antonio of 07, these Celtics are without a doubt the worst of the bunch... I have zero idea how that team won 66 games to be honest..

They're a good team, but this is not an elite team IMO...

I know this is going to cause an uproar, but I agree. I'd have thought they would have a better offense than this. But the real issue is that I really think this is their shot.

Chalk us up as the dumbest team in the league with the dumbest coach....what do we do when we get a lead????

Martyball????? errrr. Prevent Offense?

Im really sick right now......some of it is the Chinese Food....but that game was the ugliest, stupidest performance in years.

Well, I don't mean to offend the Boston fans.. Make no mistake about it, they have a very good team, and a team that can win, but as far as a team that is proclaimed as the undisputed "best team" in the league by a landslide, I just don't see it...

The sad part is, if we would have had at least 1 other consistent player on this team, we would have rolled this team in 5 games without much of a problem..

Well at least the Cavs won eventhough it was possibly the dumbest I've seen them play in a win.

The reason why Boston won so many regular season games is because they showed up for every single one. Its not hard to win when you play every regular season game like its your last... Then come playoff time when other teams are actually at your same intensity level and care as much as you do, suddenly things get a lot more even.

I know it sucks in January and February when this team is losing to the Knicks, Bobcats, and Bucks, but as long as they show up for the playoffs like they have been, then who really cares?

Should be a good game on Sunday, you guys got lucky with that awful charge call in the 4th, and you guys say Lebron doesnt get any calls. Anyways I dont like to blame refs for losses that Wally three was huge for u guys and Bron hit those two huge shots in the 4th. Should be interesting Sunday

Post #9 » by **TheOUTLAW** » Sat May 17, 2008 3:49 am

This isn't the first time they've called that awful charging call. Pierce has gotten a number of them on LeBron. In fact, I'd be okay if we hadn't gotten that call as long as you guys never got it going the other way.

What was hilarious to me was how Pierce tried to flop backward on that play to. You could see him come in and initiate the contact and all of his momentum was going through LeBron, then all of a sudden Pierce's head goes flopping backwards and he tries to change all of his momentum to make it seem like he was the one who took the worst of it. Had me cracking up.

Serves Pierce right, he's done that numerous times to LeBron in this series. If the refs are going to call LeBron for it they have to call Pierce as well.

The charge call could have went either way, LBJ did strip the ball clean, and was sliding his feet, but Pierce lowered the shoulder.. And lets not forget that foul where LeBron took the jumper, brought his arm up while Pierce had his hand in his face, and LBJ still hit the jumper, but Pierce hits his arm... (The Drew Gooden move)

However, without a doubt, the worst call of the night though was when KG just tried to go right through Ben Wallace...Again tonight, KG was able to grab jerseys, hold on box outs, swat at any body part, and I think got 1 foul called on him ??

Not to mention he fouled Delonte on that 3 ball to end the first half without a call.

Please LeBron gets more calls than anyone in the league, hes a great player though and gets the star treatment.

Oh yeah, I remember those calls and I remember Pierce being fouled on that jumper where LeBron came up through the hand. That's a foul and should have been and and 1. It is facinating the amount of uproar because of these calls though. I don't recall anyone even mentioning the bad calls in the last few games that went Bostons way.

I think leBron gets calls because he flat out gets fouled alot. I've already mentioned that Pierce non call on the jump shot which should have been an and 1. Just like Boston has figured that they just have to foul LeBron to try to stop him.

Plus ESPN showed the replay of one of LeBron's drives in the second half where Pierce literally had his hands wrapped around LeBron's waist and the female announcer commented on it... but yet still no call.

Its always so easy to blame the refs and to view things through only one side of the glass. Tommy H has killed any sort of objectivity Celtics fans had.

...the Celtics lost because they didn't rebound with tenacity. But keep blaming it on the refs.

Good luck Cleveland! It should be another exciting game and one that's I'm looking forward to watching.

nah i wouldnt complain especially not on a call like that. we dont deserve to complain on 1 call. its not worth it. why does 1 play make a difference? if we would actually showed up and blow clev out that 1 play wont make a difference. but turns out, we didn't. we just got beat by clev. there's nothing to it. it's done and over with. just move on to the next game where we'll compete hard and have fun.

i despise it when fans argue, dispute, and complain on games decided by 1 play, 1 shot, turnover, etc. if your team woulda waxed the other team, that 1 whatever play wouldnt have made much difference.
