Celtics were lucky to win, LeBron will put them out, and KG will continue to be ringless.

Kris P Lettus 05-07-2008 05:11 PM

both teams played like crap the first half and somehow you assume LeBron is going to "put the celtics out".

No question James didn't have his best game, but neither did Pierce or Allen.

Also consider the Celtics play great defense which allows them to win games when they can't score.

Celts > Cavs.

IC Champion 05-07-2008 05:43 PM

Celts STUGGLED to be ATLANTA, a team like 9 games under .500 and Boston won all their games at home. I'm saying LeBron doesn't have bad games all that often, and this is the guy who single handedly put Detriot out last year.

I'm sick of everyone on the Celts bandwagon, no one watched these bums last year.

Ummm, And Cavs have some pretty solid D themselves, I don't remember the Cavs being blown out yesterday.

Celts may win the series, but I would't bet on it, and betting on the Celts to win the championship is retarded. They can't beat the Lakers or Hornets, who will run them up and down the floor all night.


PLUS, They STRUGGLED to beat the HAWKS!

SammyG 05-07-2008 06:16 PM

seriously, that was the ugliest game of basketball I have seen in my life.

Struggled? I mean, it did go 7 games, but game 7 was over by half-time.

and who was watching the Cavs the year before they got James? Exactly, teams change, trades, drafts, free agents change a team year to year... hardly see why because they were bad last year that makes them bad this year.

So then by that logic that they will hold Pierce to 4pts and Allen to 0 all series then the same logic is the Celts hold Lebron to 12 and the result would then be the same.

The celtics may win, but you wouldn't bet on it... so what you're basicly saying is either the Celtics or Cavs may win, in your opinion... thanks for clearing that up.

they beat the Lakers twice (home and away)

split the series with the Hornets

Can't? that's a strong word... I think the chance are pretty good.

yes, they went 7 games... they won, and killed them game 7.

I'm not saying it's a lock the Celtics go all the way and win, but the odds are pretty good.

you're talking about the #2 defense in the league this year, they avergaged beating teams by over 10 points per game.

4th in FG %.

the list goes on, they had a bad series in round 1, but that doesn't write a team off.

LOL @ VEL

His stupidity obviously extends to all forums.

Seriously, when the "best" team in the league needs 7 games to beat a team with only 37 wins I have to question how good that team really is.

SammyG 05-08-2008 04:33 AM

Yeah, Celts looked mad vulnerable.

RP 05-08-2008 12:10 PM

Lebron is gunna drop 40 on the Celts tonight and win and then the Celts will prove why they are so overated when they have to win a road game in the playoffs and cant.

Chris Paul will honor a boy whose wish to see the Hornets went unfulfilled
Cancer victim tribute afoot
Thursday, May 08, 2008
By Katy Reckdahl Staff writer

Before tonight's playoff game, New Orleans Hornets superstar point guard Chris Paul will write the name "Brian" on his shoes, paying tribute to an 8-year-old fan who died Monday night before he could meet his basketball hero.

Brian, who had cancer, wore his Chris Paul jersey nonstop, said Michael McMyne, president of A Child's Wish of Greater New Orleans, an all-volunteer nonprofit that helps fulfill the wishes of about 100 critically ill Louisiana children each year. McMyne asked that Brian's last name not be used to respect the privacy of the grieving family.

Brian's wish was simple: He wanted to go to a Hornets game.

So McMyne got him tickets to Monday night's playoff game against the San Antonio Spurs.

But at the last minute, a friend of Brian's family called to cancel. The boy had been rushed to the hospital with a high fever, she said. He died hours later.

In his final weeks, Brian told his family that he knew he was going to heaven and that he wanted to meet Jesus wearing his Chris Paul jersey.

Someone within the Hornets organization sent around an e-mail telling Brian's story. It caught the eye of Paul and Hornets owner George Shinn. Both cried.

"It was very touching to me. Tears welled up in my eyes," said Shinn, who sent flowers and a letter to the family and offered to help with funeral costs. The family, overwhelmed with grief, was touched by his kindness but declined. The location and time of the funeral also are private.

Shinn and his wife hoped to attend the funeral with Paul and his parents. But the team will be on road at the time, so that isn't possible, Shinn said. The family plans to bury Brian in his favorite jersey, as he requested.

Footwear tributes aren't new, Shinn said. But usually the name is directly connected to the player. His mother. A family member. A favorite coach. "The NBA allows you to do that, to honor that person," Shinn said.

Shinn has never before seen a player write a fan's name on his footwear, "particularly a fan that the player hadn't even met," he said.

The tribute is "above and beyond imagination," McMyne said. "This genuinely heartfelt response by Chris Paul made this delicate family feel fortunate as they grieve their angel."
With all the assholes getting arrested and being all around trouble makers in pro sports, it's good to see we still have role models for our kids to look up to..

Celts up 24 points in the 4th.

Maybe when you actually have a clue what you're talking about you can call other people stupid, till then, sit in the corner with your dunce cap on.

by the way, Atlanta split their series with LA and Charlotte this year, so by your logic neither one of those teams could be good either.

again, I'm not saying it's a lock the Celtics win it all, but the best defensive team in the league, biggest winning margin over the season, most wins in the regular season.

To dismiss them the way you are is just silly, and your reasons are even sillier. "No one cared about them last year"... :roll:

Ummm, regular season and and post season and two different beasts.

And your cherry picking VEL is laughable. Acting as if I said they wouldn't win because "no one cared about them last year" is ridiculous. And yet I'm the one with a dunce cap on. Have you ever read one of you posts before?

You're a fucking idiot. I don't care how many games Boston won, or how many points they wont by, post season is the post season. Beatin someone by 10 points in regular season and 10 points in the play-offs two totally different things.

Seriously acknowledge that they struggled to beat Atlanta, and while they blew them out in the 7th game, the fact it took 7 games in itself should say something. Ignore facts if you like. But no number 1 seed that went 7 games with an 8th seed has ever won the championship.

But hey, name call, ignore the facts, and make shit up, whatever helps VEL, whatever helps.
I await the ridiculous repsonse.

I think Boston has to prove itself by winning a road game in this series. If they fail to do so then you will hear people saying that if you steal a game in Boston then you should take the series from them.

Juan 05-09-2008 12:33 AM

LOL @ Lebron

Worst shooting performance by anybody in 2 games of a series with 30+ shots since 1948.

oh yes, the name calling helps your silly argument. I never denied they had a tough time vs. Atlanta, but for you to complete disregard everything else this team did this year is silly, you choose to ignore 90% of the facts but then accuse me of ignoring the facts... what did you go to the KK school of posting?

I agree with you 100% there, they've yet to prove they can win on the road in the playoffs and even though they have home court throughout to count on winning all your home games for the whole playoffs is a dangerous game to play.

ESPN is saying his beef in PHX is he wants "more control" he was an offensive running machine and the GM wants them to play more Defense.

is he really going to have much control in NY?

Well, if you want to win in the east, you need to play defense, and Mr. D'Antoni has never read that word before.

LOL. I ackowledged what they did in the regular season. I beleive I than said but the regular season and play offs are different stories. I've also seen them play Atlanta, and I can tell you that team WILL NOT win the finals.
