that's why I LOVE THIS: http://network.yardbarker.com/author/article_external/10966538?widget=true

Awesome, and precious. This is what makes the Celtics at another level: you have a story behind you, you have a future ahead.

Thanks Lee, I'll do it for sure! But let's stay quiet, guys: game 6 will be a war, and nothing is granted. As we say here, "don't try sell the bear skin before the bear is dead..". Go Celtics!

Man, I just can't believe it! This is crazy, I have no words to describe how happy I am!!! It's a dream coming true, let's get it done on thursday. Could not watch the game (it's the playoffs first that I miss) because here in Italy it starts at 2.30 am every time.. let's see what will happen tomorrow in the WCF: if OKC wins, well.. these are twin series! Right now it's how it feels to be the Green, old underdog; beautiful..! :)

I'm so f„Ω€œ∂g proud of my beloved Celtics! But guess what, for NO reason whatsoever I had a flash watching these series: LBJ will wear Celtics green sooner or later..! (dunno if you like it or not, just saying..).

Agree. It was a joke, from the commentaries to the refs. This is pure garbage like the one it stole away my interest from italian soccer.

I hate the Heat. They just became the perfect NBA product selling for David Stern, so LeBitch and Sade can do WHATEVER they want on the court, from harassing opponents to making spectacular plays. Well directed officiating assists them on their purpose. THAT SAID, the Celtics have showed power and horses to win...one game in these series. Maybe. Not more, because the Heat are younger, stronger and they have lots of quality, and if you don't run how much they run, they're gonna score on you like that. The game went EXACTLY like how I expected, unfortunately..

Nothing to add to your recap. Everybody was atrocious. I always expect Rondo to step up when his teammates can't score, and take his game on another level if he wants to be a real leader for this team in the future. Forget it. Players were bad, coaching was obscene: Doc is really making a lot of mistakes in these playoffs, way too many. At this point, I wonder what's the meaning of trying to win the series. To go where?

Rondo can't or doesn't want to shoot the ball. Let's keep it to the assist and other stuff.

there aren't so many red zones.. ;)

very true.

Happy birthday KG, I love you as much as so many opposite fans hate you!

Only KG and Ray showed up last night, Pierce and Doc killed us. I think we lost the game in the third (the worst, crappy piece of basketball I've ever seen): Pierce was a shame to watch, and Doc let him in the game almost all quarter. The 76ers didn't go by 20 just because they were shooting poorly as well. And then, in the fourth, all the mad stuff you already talked about. Plus a dumb substitution of a come-to-life Pietrus with a dead Pierce, plus the dumb plays by Rondo, plus the dumb possessions in the stretch. It was an horror movie, literally.

Agree. My man KG, he's the most important player of this team. God bless him!

We're gonna win this series 4-2, just relax everybody..

Who wrote this post? A Lakers fan? This is garbage. A long post full of hate toward a player who has been on of the biggest surprises of the season, a player who simply helped us a lot to get here. Last year banging on KG antics, this year sanctifying every single Rondo play, and now this Bass-hate post out of the blue.. bah. Go Bass, go Celtics!

No big news. He's been suspended like expected, CoachBo goes hard on him and Paul is the Rondo Lone and Extreme defender. The truth is, we put ourselves in a freakin' hole.. Damn.. :/

At least I'm not an ignorant person who has to insult other people to express his own opinion.

I was watching the game, I felt really sorry for the kid. But the truth is: nobody gives a damn about Mr. Nobody Shumpert, as you can read in these comments. To me it's not just casualty that people are going down: this crazy 66 game stretch conceived by NBA and David Stern to sell the product anyhow is starting to weight on players' shoulders. And on the product shoulders.

I agree with Coach Bo

Agree, resting guys in Atl match was right. I'm still pissed at the Spurs game lost by one after a hideous turnover conceived by Rondo and KG, and I'm still mad at my heroes if I think again about the Detroit and the Toronto games. But that was that, the time is now: go, my beloved Celtics!!!!!!

Metta World Elbow. What a joke. Thinking HE nailed a crucial three-pointer in the 2010 Finals, it still makes me sick..

He probably spoke too much already.

You have a real problem, get some help. Comments like this really lower the general level of this blog.

I thought they were done with this crap, it was just embarrassing. Is Toronto so nice to hang around? Because every time Celtics travel there, it seems to be for a holiday. We know C's can't be the arrogant, lazy team that played last night, but they can't be the perfect basketball machine like the one that won in Miami either. So it's a good team that has to play his ass off every night in order to make up for the atrocious beginning of this regular season. I hope Rondo is done with the statistics bs, so he can get back to play and shoot whenever it's time to shoot. Oh, and by the way: did they check next week schedule?
