one word regarding last night\'s name:
debacle
first off, let me give a round of applause to the celtics bench who finally decided to join the playoffs. except they did it on the night the big three of boston got outplayed by the big three of miami.
i know fellow celtics followers will challenge with: but the injuries. yes, yes, i take that into account. but they weren\'t serious injuries to stop them from winning. they are really never 100%, let\'s be honest, they are old.
the only good thing: the series moves to boston. and i have faith the celtics won\'t lose on their home court.
they weren\'t old in round 1, but they played a team that doesn\'t play defense. we\'re actually defending them pretty well, but its taking a lot of energy from their offense. bring it back to boston, lets see how games 3 and 4 go.

man, i hope we get the two games we deserve as fans. because last night\'s game was lacking the intensity it should have had. i was highly disappointed in some of the key players, including my Ray. Rondo seemed to be the only one to work through his pain and get it into gear somewhat.
3 days off that\'s a lot of time. Think they can shake the rustiness of 3 days off and come to play in boston? hahaha so much for the celtics dominance of the heat huh? so that\'s 3 in a row now(inc. that last game in the regular season) the heat have convincingly handled boston and I\'m saying the celts get one game if that.
Tonight The Lakers even up their series and believe me they aren\'t giving up another 16 point lead. Dallas played well but it was another game given up more by the Lakers than the other team. I actually have no plans and get to watch tonight! Stoked!
outside of the heat, the celtics are still the only team who hasn\'t lost at home in the playoffs.

Hey man whatever it takes for you to get through.
I love the stat that the celtics have only come back to win a 7 game series once from a 2-0 deficit and that was in 1969.
42 years. sounds good enough for me.
Tonight The Lakers even up their series
getting ahead of yourself there, eh??
I\'ll be watching the game tonight too......... doing my lakers-lose-dance.
Wow as of right now 0/15 from 3 pt line and down by 13 AT HOME!
****.
It\'s a 7 game series but for the first time in years I think I\'m doubting they can make it all the way. That kind of sucks. At least the celtics won\'t be going anywhere also.
how many teams have come back from an 0-2 deficit when they lost their first 2 games at home, stat man leith?

2 Lakers \'71 and Rockets I think \'94 or \'95
so \'69 for the Celts and \'71 for the Lakers. We\'ll see... not looking good for either, but I still think the Celtics will throw down at home.
the celtics will take 1 at home but that still leaves them at 3-1
Lakers have the bigger task they have to take both in Dallas to have an inkling of a chance.
Well after a couple hours I feel better. I mean it is The Lakers and they do play their best with their backs against the wall. They did have a 16 point lead in that first game and Dallas didn\'t really do much but make their 3\'s (2 for 20 Lakers? COME ON!).
Then there is this. Can he please finally be right about something? Please?
Dallas **** themselves in the playoffs nearly every year.
its inevitable. just might not happen yet.
you have kobe... there is a fighting chance
