Round 2 Game 2| Cavaliers vs Celtics| Mon. May 3rd, 2010| 8pm (et)

[Walter White]

The anticipation is already killing me for the next game to see where this season is going, let alone that I have to wait 3 days. If we win the championship I will never forget this feeling right here. The championship would be so dramatic now I would literally just die from amazement. My heart would just stop.

you know its a shitty game when the boston media gargles Rivers dick right off the bat and that my toe nails are uneven (I pick them when I am pissed)

andrew you better be a girl, or else.. ummm... WTF

As much as everyone is yelling at Mike Brown, he's not the one who took the those two ill-advised 3's when we were down 10. If Bron and Twan had just driven the lane and drew the foul (its not like the refs weren't helping us this game) its totally different. Man, we better show up on Friday.

 

[castigador]

Shaq passes out of the post when he is doubled, if he isn't doubled someone must cut or move for the open shot for him to pass. If no one does either of these 2 things he'll do his best.

 

[castigador]

And also when were making our come back, down 10 ( could have been 9 but LBJ bricked his FT) Antawn takes a 3 and bricks it, killing our momentum.

How many shitty ass single game performances like this does it take before it becomes MORE than just one game for you people... because I've seen a lot more than just one game of this kind of uninspired, piss poor play this season.

Do you guys lack the part of your brains that allow you to remember things for more than 1 or 2 days??

Get it through your thick skulls: it is MORE than just this one game.

Wow, it's more than just one game? Really? Well Jesus H Christ, I would have never thought that this team might have had more than one shitty game this year. I guess they're up shit creek without a paddle then, they might as well pack it up and go home eh? Seriously, what do you want people do to, bitch and moan about something they can't do anything about? Some people might just want to try and hold more of a positive attitude about things.

I'd like to say this game will be the proverbial "wake-up call" but in the 2nd round of the playoffs should one really be necessary?

The defensive lethargy has existed all season long. They got away with "locking down" in the 4th quarter and pulling out some close wins in the regular season. That's not going to cut it in the playoffs.

They've lost their defensive identity. Tell me how a team with Wally F'n Szczerbiak in the starting lineup could take the NBA Champion Celtics to a game 7 in 2008? Easy. They defended consistently. This team doesn't do that. Defense is as much about effort as it is anything else.

If they think they're going to win an NBA Championship by outscoring teams for 4 straight series they're kidding themselves. The fact that a team coached by a defensive-minded head coach has had an indifferent attitude towards defense at times this year is alarming. That also includes their MVP, who even Wine and Gold has criticized for his lack of defensive effort at times.

I remember Shaq passing to Moon for a dunk and gave LBJ a clean look at a layup that he blew just in this game alone. People are going to bitch about everything though, so just get ready to deal with it.

its funny how everybody thought this series was gonna be a breeze and looking back at it people thought the magic series was gonna be a breeze last year. well we are all in for a shock if we think we are gonna cruise to the east finals in 5 games.

 

[moohead]

Actually, I am NOT having a heart attack. I am laughing on the phone with Dave. It is one game, and if we cannot pick it up to their intensity level, we don't deserve to win.

No need to get angry. If you feel frustrated, go out and accomplish something great on your own. Why wait for your sports team when YOU can do something great tomorrow for yourself or your family.

Balance.

LeBron's was ill-advised but how was Tawn's wide open shot ill-advised..?

Mike Brown still fails to realize that Mo-Delonte-LeBron-Tawn-JJ is our best lineup in this series, and it's amazing.. It isn't just a coincidence we went on a 15-0 run with them out there.

 

[mdawg1128]

Terrible game tonight from everyone. I guarantee its the same old stuff from Mike Brown in the press conference. You can guarantee there is a quote with him saying "Well we got our butts whopped tonight."

 

[mrbeaks]

Apologies if this was discussed at the time of the incident, but was anyone a little disgusted by no one getting in Pierce's grill after he clotheslined Mo? J.J. made a hesitant move in his direction, and then held up. Maybe that was due to the beer bottle hitting the court. Still, someone should've been on Pierce's ass.

 

[TheNewEra]

Mike Brown actually seems mad in press conference.

I'm waiting for him to call out Mo.

Varejao would have been.
