One of the best series ever: Celtics win 4-3

[Keener98]

yeah, we don't recover from this. we die down here.

 

 

Same old Sulley, it never changes. Do the Cubs really have you this pessimistic?

[Jon]

Hard to get upset about that one. Allen just beat us.

They were barely trying out there once the shot went up. Terrible positioning, not much jumping, and hesitant to try and grab the ball.

[RedFlash]

The first two games show me that the Bulls are the better team. The Bulls will win this series.

[RynoRules]

yeah, we don't recover from this. we die down here.

 

I think thats a bit premature

[Keener98]

Did anyone honestly expect the Bulls to be up 2-0? C'mon, they've looked great so far. I love to see KG sticking his chin out after a narrow, 3 point win at home over the 7 seed. Hilarious.

 

 

Exactly. The Bulls have played like a different team the 2nd half the season at home. Bring it Boston

[Magnetic Curses]

i get home from work and turn on the game and the bulls are leading 109-104. after they lose, i turn it to the blackhawks game just as the flames are scoring.

 

sorry guys.

Huh? Are we talking about the same thing? I am talking about the winning shot only.

i'm just broken from the amount of times my teams have ripped out my heart and farted on it.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'm no longer looking at it as the Bulls "stealing" one on the road against Boston. You watch these last two games and you cannot come to any other conclusion that Boston, without KG, is AT BEST equal to the Bulls. From that perspective, losing this game hurts a lot.

 

I'm pleased with how they played too but now you look at every long offensive rebound Boston was able to coral and Vinny's heinous handling of TOs as anything but completely inexcusable.

[Tyrant]

can a coach be fired in the middle of a playoff series? How the HowryNeifiVeteransCommittee does Vinny end up without a time out AGAIN at the end of regulation? What a moron.

 

Also, when the Bulls were up 109-104, ti would have been nice to have Tyrus on the floor instead of Brad Miller's carcass, which could barely jump at that point.

Well, that's what happens when you base your conclusions off a two-game sample size. Boston is a better team than the Bulls. They're not head and shoulders better than the Bulls without Garnet, but they're measurably better. I couldn't be happier about a 1-1 split with the game two loss coming on a last second shot.

2 reasons... He is a bad coach and extremely stubborn. Not only does he make mistakes, but he also refuses to acknowledge or learn from them.

Miller makes me nervous every time he does the old man stroll through the lane, and most of the time something bad happens. I don't know what the deal was with Tyrus not being in the game.

[cubweiser03]

Ben Gordon was unbelievable shooting the ball. It wasnt as if he was just hitting open shots. The only shots he missed were when he was falling on his ass and he made half of those. I definetly think the Bulls can take them.

[Guest]

Son of a bitch!

[rawaction]

That sucked. I expected a loss, but I really wanted that win. To be honest, nobody has guarded Allen all series long. The shots just fell in the 2nd half. I think the Bulls played really well in the 2 games so far, and they should play better at home. The Celtics better bring it better than that if they want to win 1 in Chicago. I fully expect them to, but at this point the Bulls are 50/50 to win this series. They have a better chance to win it in 5 or 6 than Boston with 3 of the next 4 in Chicago.

[Derwood]

For all the mistakes that were made in this game, it was still fantastically entertaining. I'm pretty satisfied so far, especially considering that I was predicting a 20 point blowout in this one.

I am tired of hearing how good of a passer Miller is. For very good pass he makes, he makes a terrible one. Tyrus has to get more playing time.

I think Boston better be thinking the corspe of Red Auerbach that they are going to Chicago tied 1-1. Cause if the Bulls could GRAB A FRIKKIN OFFENSIVE REBOUND OR TWO, or VDN learning to use or not use timeouts properly, this series goes back to Chicago 2-0. As of right now, Boston has shown no reason why they should win this series, in fact I will say it, I think the Bulls will win in 5, 6 tops.

On the flipside, Boston was a Paul Pierce FT away from being up 2-0.

[ChiCubsFan]

SAVE A FREAKIN TIMEOUT! I'm almost happy I had to work tonight and got to miss this. Seems like it was a very frustrating game. Honestly, I was anticipating a double digit victory for Boston at least (kind of like what the Spurs did tonight). We're gonna win this series in 6.

[cubbyvirus00]

what really pissed me off was NOAH blowing a freaking layup in the final few minutes. Grow some nuts and dunk it with authority.

 

Also why is Brad Miller playing the 4th? He stopped shooting the ball, and everytime he puts the ball on the floor I cringe as Rondo or Pierce easily pull the ball from him.

 

Miller/Noah are the reason why the bulls won't go far in the playoffs. We need a big man who can be a leader and an offensive force on this team. How many stupid passes and fouls have they committed so far? For gods sake Miller has a tattoo of SCRAPPYDOO on his arm!

 

 

Bosh/Thomas 4 frontcourt plz!

I would dispute the notion that they are measurably better--marginally better at best. You take the Celtics, sans KG, and project them over an 82 game schedule and you take the Bulls team that is out there now and I'd be hard pressed to say that the Celtics would win more ball games.

The major difference is the Bulls weren't supposed to win either game in Boston, but after the two games the Bulls should have taken both games.

[Andy]

Words can't express how much I hate continually working during these games. I'm going to miss Game 3 too.

 

That said, I don't see how we lose this series. Boston has essentially a must-win game, at home, and they need us to blow a late lead to win it? These guys just aren't good enough.

 

Good to see some good old-fashioned Celts hate going on too.
