Is this the time that Celtics' fans can all breath a collective sigh of relief knowing that if we don't win in Cleveland in Game 6 that we will be able to come back to Boston to try and finish off those pesky Cavaliers?
I'll be honest... I hated the way the game started tonight, and found it extremely difficult to watch. I was thinking they were going to lose tonight. But they proved me wrong, and showed glimpses of why they won more games this season than any other team in the league.
We saw great performances by Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and maybe most impressive tonight, Rajon Rondo.
Yeah, Rajon Rondo can't shoot... he proved that tonight. Everyone says it about him so it must be true. Kind of like LeBron James... so many people say he's not a great shooter. I don't understand why certain players are labeled as "bad" or "not great" shooters when they have a habit of making big shots... or at the very least, make shots when they need to. Rondo did that tonight. He just has a habit of being too passive when he has open shots. He's young. That will change in time. But he did his best Chauncey Billups impersonation tonight. He was "Mr. Big Shot" for the Celtics in Game 5.
Let's all hope the Celts can end this thing in Cleveland, and quiet the doubters that don't think they can win a game on the road in the playoffs. Cleveland is a great team, and LeBron James is a dominating force on the court. Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West would like nothing more than to eliminate the team that cast them aside. It's no surprise they are playing well against us, just like it was no surprise Joe Johnson was huge for the Hawks in the first round. We really don't want to go to a Game 7 with the Cavs like we did Atlanta. If that happens, it will be another hard game to watch... for me anyway. Go Green!!!
