2 Celtics Fans Reactions to Game 3

[Mdog1]

If we get Pierce this offseason that would mean LeBron is on another team...

Ugh that would be even worse then, but I don't think so. Having an additional SF really doesn't mean any thing, LeBron is a SF, but he is also a SG, PG, PF so it doesn't really matter where you play him, or start Pierce. But I will protest if we get Pierce.

From CavstheBlog.com:

"More 4 LeBron/Dragic debate. Only other 38/8/7 (Bron) on road: Oscar R. Only other 26 pts in 17 mins in playoff gm (Dragic): nobody. [JA Adande]"


Does anyone know how many minutes/points LeBron had in the first half. He had 12 minutes and 21 points in the first quarter.

I get all of that but LeBron would NEVER allow Pierce on the same team as him....*recalls a preseason game where Paul spit at LeBron toward the Cavs bench...*

He had 24 in the first 13 minutes of yesterday's game

He had 27 points in the final 13 minutes of Game 5 vs the Pistons in 2007

Don't know how Adande forgot about the 48 special

The only person other than LBJ to have 38, 8, 7 on the road in a playoff game was the Big O? I find that hard to believe....

I didn't even think about it initially but now that you mention it I find it hard to believe as well.

38-8-7 is great but I have to think that at some point MJ, Kobe, Bird, Magic or somebody else has done it


EDIT: I don't know about any other instances but I found one where Hakeem Olajuwon put up 42-9-8 with 5 blocks in San Antonio on May 30, 1995

So he's (J.A. Adande) wrong about both things....:chuckles:

With his claim about Dragic, I'm sure he was looking at the totals for points in a little amount of total minutes as opposed to seeing how many points a player scored over a short period of time (but still played earlier/later in the game). He wasn't wrong, per se.

Random twitter I found figured I'd put it here with all the Celtic hating

"Downtown at Quincy Market. Just saw Doc Rivers and he has Glen Davis on kid leash" its from that Lebrons Elbow Twitter
