Its still in the 4th quarter, but I've had it with tonight. I'm goin' to bed, and honestly at this point I don't see the Celtics even lasting to a 6th game against the Pistons, and thats only assuming they can win one more at home to get past the Cavaliers (but I won't be putting any money on that either).

Game started well for the Celts, they were aggressive, but they weren't getting the benefit of any calls (check out the free throw disparity again). We started settling for jumpers, and aside from that one 5minute stretch when we went on our 13-0 run, the shots aren't falling. A very good effort tonight from Kevin Garnett and Eddie House, but nothing from Ray Allen and Paul Pierce was very limited as has been the case for most of this series.

Someone's gonna have to talk me off the ledge here... I've got little to no faith in our team heading into Game 7, nevermind anything beyond this 2nd round series. There is almost no way we win every single home game, and with the way we've played on the road all post-season... I see our hopes being dashed earlier than anticipated.

Celtics just got robbed by the officials, every so-so situation went to the Cavs, and offensive fouls on Perkins early in the game were just terrible, if it were fair game from the officials standpoint, Celtics would have won that close game.

Today Ray Allen sucked for the most of the game, and Doc should have given time to Rondo - House combo at the same time on the field, and Big Baby (and P.J. also) was just terrible, it's a big question why Powe didn't get any minutes today.

I said it in my other post away from boston the Celtics are not getting any calls and its killing them , look at the atlanta series and now look at this series the officials have been terrible, and lets be honest boston plays a pretty physical game if the officials keep calling close fouls boston is going to be in trouble. detroit must be loving this!!!!!!

C'mon, stop blaming the officials. Cleveland had double the offensive rebounds and outscored the Celtics in second chance points 17-2. They outhustled the Celtics. The Celtics couldn't even shoot 40% and have lost all 6 road playoff games. They put themselves in this spot, and they'll be lucky to get out of it this time.

You have to look at some of the other series . . . Hornets-Spurs . . Lakers-Jazz . .winning on the road in the playoffs against a good team just doesn't seem possible.  I don't make excuses for the Celts losing against Atlanta three times . .but Cleveland has the real MVP of the league and plays great defense and was the beneficiary of some generous calls in game six.  The Celts were behind the whole second half but there were three bad calls in the last minute.  Pierce is called for an offensive foul with a minute to play on a textbook blocking foul against Lebron . . really an easy call  . . (apparantly unless you are on the road or Lebron is involved) . . . .Ray Allen puts up a layup which hits the backboard and is on the way down and a Cavs players knocks it away . .goaltending according the the TBS announcers .. no call (but Ray is put at the line)    .  finally it appears as though Joe Smith travelled (jumped up and down) on an inbound play with about 18 seconds left .. . again no call.  I don't want to excuse some mediocre plays on the part of the Celts and I also believe that Rondo needs 40 plus minutes to excel in a game . .no matter how he is playing . . but realistically  .. I  don't think the NBA likes a 4 or 5 or even 6 game series and will do what it can to produce a 7th game.   Three calls . . one horrible, one pretty bad and one borderline . . but all against the C's in the last minute . . go figure

Okay I will do my best to talk you off the ledge game 7 is in Boston at least they are winning at home, so hopefully that will take care of the Cavs. Now the Pistons will have lots of rest and just maybe they get too much and get a little lazy, oh crap who am I kidding the 17th banner is not going to happen this year!
