(http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/boston/KGBos.jpg)
Kevin Garnett was clearly upset by the game 1 loss and he was even more upset by the taunting he saw from LeBron that was allowed by the officials.  I expect a very focused and physical Kevin Garnett in this game.

JaJuan Johnson
E'Twaun Moore
Marquis Daniels
Sasha Pavlovic
Ray Allen
Keyon Dooling
Ryan Hollins
Mickael Pietrus

Injuries
Paul Pierce (knee) probable
Mickael Pietrus (hamstring) probable
Ray Allen (ankle) probable
Greg Stiemsma (feet) probable
Avery Bradley (shoulder) out

Player to Watch
(http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/miami/DWadeMia.jpg)
Wade was not aggressive in the first half and the Celtics stayed with the Heat.  He came out in the 3rd quarter and was more aggressive and looked for his shot and to get to the hoop and the Heat pulled away.  The Heat need Wade to be aggressive on both ends to be successful. 

Reserves
Joel Anthony
Mike Miller
Norris Cole
James Jones
Juwan Howard
Eddy Curry
Udonis Haslem
Terrel Harris

Injuries
Chris Bosh (ab strain) out
Dexter Pittman (suspension) out

Key Matchups
(http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/boston/RondoBos.jpg) vs (http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/miami/ChalmersMia.jpg)
Rajon Rondo vs Mario Chalmers
As always, Rondo is the key to the Celtics offense, defense, and energy.  When Rondo plays well, the Celtics play well.  When Rondo is aggressive and in "Triple Double Rondo" mode, he causes matchup problems for the Heat.  Rondo must be aggressive and he must run the offense and not allow it to get stagnant.     

(http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/boston/PierceBos.jpg) vs (http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/miami/LeBronMia.jpg)
Paul Pierce vs LeBron James
Paul Pierce must be more aggressive on both ends in game 2.  He has to try to stay with LeBron on defense and perhaps help to prevent a few of the easy layups and dunks he got in game 1.  Pierce also must be more aggressive in going to the basket and trying to draw fouls.  He had NO free throws in game 1.  Of course getting to the line will also depend on the refs calling fouls, which they didn't do in game 1.  He also has to be more aggressive on the boards. He is capable of getting more than 2 rebounds if he puts out the effort.    The Celtics need more from their Captain. 

Honorable Mention
 
Brandon Bass vs Shane Battier
Bass has a strength advantage and should also be quick enough to stay with Battier when he goes out beyond the 3 point line.   Bass needs to use that strength advantage to get his shot off and he has to hit them.  He also must be more aggressive in going after rebounds.  He had just 2 rebounds in game 1 and was out rebounded by both point guards.  That shouldn't be. 

Game Notes
The Celtics looked slow and old in the second half of game 1.  They allowed way too many dunks and open layups.  They had their shots blocked 11 times.  The Heat beat them to loose balls and rebounds.  They were able to hang with the Heat through the first 2 quarters in spite of a slow start, but were outplayed in the second half in just about every area. 

The officiating was horrible in game 1 but that wasn't the reason the Celtics lost.  The blocked shots were mostly a result of the Celtics driving to the hoop and looking for the foul instead of finishing strong.  They have to stop looking for the refs to bail them out and look to score instead.  Their offense was also very sluggish and they weren't moving the ball and just didn't seem focused. 

Ray Allen is a shell of himself.   He has become a liability on defense and his struggles are very clearly seen on the free throw line where he was just 3-7.  He was also just 1-7 from the field.  We know that he will hit some big shots at some time or other as he did in game 7 vs Philly.  Doc has got to decide whether what he can add now is greater than his limitations in the game.  Might it be time to rest Ray and play Pietrus or Dooling in his place.  Both are better on defense and both can stretch the floor with their offense. 

The Celtics have had a day off to rest after being  embarrassed in game 1.  It was not just the loss, but the showboating and the gloating and the taunting by the Heat.  We know that they are a proud team and that they have a lot of heart.  They have proved that this season in playing through all the injuries and all that has gone on this season.  But the question remains do they have the legs and can they physically match up with a much younger and more athletic Heat team. 


Keys to the Game

Start strong - The Celtics must get off to a better start than they did in game 1. They have to come out strong and be aggressive right from the opening tip.   They have to hit their shots and they have to play defense to prevent the easy scoring from the Heat.  They can't score 11 points in a quarter and expect to win the game. 

Run the Offense - The Celtics must run their sets and move the ball.  Rondo dribbling around and then taking a shot as the clock winds down or passing to a teammate for a rushed shot won't do it.  The Celtics are at their best when they are moving the ball and making the extra pass and finding the open man.  Along with moving the ball, they have to make smart passes and not the sloppy passes that lead to turnovers since turnovers against the Heat usually lead to a LeBron dunk at the other end. 

Rebound - The Celtics got out worked on the boards 48-33 in game 1.  Much of rebounding is desire and effort.  How else can you explain 6'1" Rondo out rebounding everyone on the team except KG?  The Celtics have got to put out more effort in going after rebounds and crashing the boards.   The team that wins the rebounding battle more often than not wins the game. 

Defense - Defense wins championships.  That's not just a cute saying, either.   The Heat increased their defensive pressure in the second half and it took the Celtics out of their game.  The Celtics, however didn't play their best defense in the game, allowing way too many easy shots in the paint and too many open perimeter shots.  The Celtics have got to play in your face defense from start to finish. 

Be Aggressive - The Celtics must be the more aggressive team if they want to win this game.  They have to be the team that wins the 50/50 balls.  They have to be the team more aggressive on the boards.  They must be the more aggressive team in going to the hoop and finishing at the hoop, not just driving toward the basket and hoping to bet the foul.  And they have to be the more aggressive team on defense.  If they allow the Heat to outwork them again as they did in game 1,  they will probably get the same result. 

X-Factors
Physical Ability and Officiating
The Celtics have heart and they have pride,  but do they have enough left in the tank to play harder than the Heat.  Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are definitely hurting and it may be asking too much of them to play at 100% when they just have 60% or less of their health. 

The officiating in game 1 was absolutely horrible.  Will the officials call it fair or will they once again hit the Celtics with phantom fouls and technicals will allowing the Heat free reign?   The Celtics already have an uphill battle overcoming age and injuries without also having to overcome one sided officiating as well.

Actually I thought the Heat played not their best and were beatable last game , if PP, Bass and the rest show up and hit their avg. maybe we make it closer or win. I thought we played decent defense.  Maybe the rest of the Celtics will decide to help our KG this game.  He can't beat Wade and LBJ by himself.

Some more people have to step up an actually PUT the ball in the bucket. The offense had no movement , it was horrible.  Ray was aweful shooting.  Got to go down the bench and find somebody who can make a shot.  we know LBJ and Wade are going to get their 60 points min .....Question who is going to score for us besides KG.

I don't think it's a question of Bass' quickness in staying with Battier as much as it his overall comfort level defending and rebounding from the perimeter. By that I mean, man-to-man defense (easy enough since Battier is a spot up shooter) + supplying effective team defense (?) + rebounding from different spots on the floor where he has to cover more ground to get to the ball (?). Understanding the positional requirements of him in each area.

Bass isn't exactly a smart team defender or a strong rebounder so putting him in situations he isn't used to being puts even more pressure on his weaknesses.

A smaller player who is more used to playing and defending on the perimeter (both man-to-man and importantly team defense) and rebounding from the perimeter (using their quickness to explode to the ball from the perimeter) stands a much better chance of maintaining Boston's defensive + rebounding integrity.

Anyway, that's the challenge as I see it for Bass against Battier (team defense + rebounding while on perimeter). How well he handles that will decide whether he's a net positive or net negative.

Unfortunately, I think the most likely scenario is that Bass has 1 or 2 big games (when he is scoring big offensively and not hurting the team too much defensively) and sucks the rest of the way (hurting the team defensively and on the boards, so-so scoring).

Very worried about this Bass vs Battier matchup.

I'd rather see Doc matchup against this small-ball Miami lineup instead of trying to force the size mismatch because I am not convinced that will play out in Boston's favour.

Does putting Micheal Pietrus on Shane Battier make sense here? I think we need Bass to get a double double (Rebounds and points) and have him take charges against a driving force (James or Wade) while Pierce or Ray Allen rotates out on Battier on the perimeter to pick off dish outs. So I would keep Bass around the semi-circle and have him draw charges to keep KG and Rondo out of foul trouble. This is what I look for tonight.

Yeah, I think Pietrus makes a lot of sense if Doc were to go smaller and matchup against Miami.

If it were me, I'd rather go with Sasha Pavlovic instead of Pietrus in an effort to keep Pietrus in that bench role. I prefer Pietrus as an impact-sub over Pavlovic.

I'd also consider switching Ray onto Battier and having Sasha (or Pietrus) take Wade instead.

Official Report
Ken Mauer
41.8 fouls called per game
52.5% of fouls called on road team
2.4 technicals called per game
Veteran NBA official Ken Mauer has officiated 1,497 regular season, 119 playoff, and nine Finals games, during his 25-season career. He was also a member of the crew that officiated the 1993 Europe Tour in London and the 2005 Denver All-Star game. Mauer’s resume includes six years of CBA officiating experience, nine years of collegiate officiating experience and 12 years of high school officiating experience in Minnesota. Mauer is very quick to call technicals and in one game, once ejected Doc less than 3 minutes into a game, and that was before the new "Respect the Game" rules. In a recent Timberwolves game he might have set the record by calling 5 technicals in a 10 second span. Just what we need, another Tech- happy ref. The Celtics have to be on their best behavior with Mauer calling the game. Mauer was one of the refs charged with tax evasion and obstructing federal tax laws for receiving substantial taxable income from 1989 through 1994 and failing to declare it. He was one of the refs in the controversial Miami/Dallas Finals where the foul calls were totally lopsided, giving the Heat the title. In a Suns/OKC game last season, Mauer told Zabian Dowdell not to be a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. about the calls. Dowdell asked him if he'd say that off the court and Mauer ejected him from the game for it. The Celtics are 2-2 this season and 7-3 in their last 10 games with Mauer officiating. One win this season was against the Grizzlies where the refs let them play for the most part and the Celtics shot 21 free throws to 16 for the Grizzlies. The other win was game 5 vs the Sixers in which the Celtics shot 33 free throws to 16 for the Sixers. One loss was to the Sixers where once again they let them play and the Celtics shot 18 free throws to 15 for the Sixers. The other loss was to the Hawks where 18 fouls were called on the Celtics and 8 on the Hawks and the officiating was terrible. The Heat are 5-0 this season and 6-4 in the last 10 games with Mauer. It's tough to know which Mauer will show up - the good one that lets them play or the bad one that tries to control the game and make it about himself. His home W/L record this season is 33-24.

James Capers
41.6 fouls called per game
51.9% of fouls called on road team
1.6 technicals called per game
The son of former NBA official James Capers Sr., who was a ref for 22 years, James Capers has officiated 969 regular season games and 44 playoff games during his 16-season NBA career. In addition to his NBA experience, Capers has six years of CBA officiating experience, including three CBA Finals and two CBA All-Star Games. Capers was the recipient of the 1998 Monarch Award as Chicago Sportsman of the Year for his career and community achievements. Capers also conducts NBA Read to Achieve programs at two Chicago Public schools. He has also volunteered to train referees for the Philippines basketball association. I've seen several posts from Lakers fans who swear he hates the Lakers. At least he has that in his favor. The Celtics are 4-1 with Capers this season. In a 100-64 win over the Raptors, the Celtics shot 12 free throws to 18 for the Raptors. The second game was against the Warriors where the Celtics shot 21 free throws to 19 for the Warriors. The 3rd win was vs Orlando in which the Celtics shot 27 free throws to 30 for the Magic. The 4th win was game 1 of this series where the Celtics shot 19 free throws to 20 for the Sixers. All 4 games were well officiated. The loss was game 6 vs the Sixers where the Celtics shot 23 free throws to 28 for the Sixers. The Celtics are 8-2 over their last 10 games with Capers. The Heat are 5-0 this season and 8-2 over their last 10 games. His home W/L record this season is 30-22.

Tom Washington
44.8 fouls called per game
49.6% of fouls called on road team
0.0 technicals called per game
Over his 20-season NBA officiating career, Tom Washington has officiated 1,196+ regular season games, 103 playoff games and two Finals games. He was a member of the crew that officiated the 1995 Schick Rookie Game, the 1996 Japan Games in Tokyo and the 2004 NBA All-Star Game. In addition to his 20 seasons with the NBA, Washington has two years of CBA officiating experience. He has one year collegiate officiating experience and five years of high school officiating experience in his hometown of Philadelphia. The Celtics are 1-3 this season with Washington on the court. One loss was the Pacer game where the Celtics were called for 24 fouls compared to 18 for the Pacers. Another loss was to the Pistons where Detroit shot 46 free throws to 15 for the Celtics, Rondo was ejected, and Tommy Heinsohn called it the worst officiated game all season (are you cringing yet?). The final loss was game 5 vs Atlanta where they let them play and the Celtics shot 15 free throws to 14 for the Hawks. The win was the 87-56 Orlando beat down in which the Celtics took 19 free throws to 30 for the Magic. They are 7-3 over their last 10 games with Washington. The Heat are 3-1 this season and 9-1 over their last 10 games with Washington on the court. His home W/L record this season is 39-20.

Big game. Very much do not want to be down 0-2.

Winning 4 out of 5 from thereon would be very difficult given both Miami's strength and Boston's inconsistency. Big game, important game. Need a win.

No question in my mind.....

Will they let the TEAMS play this game or will they impede on the game we want to play and thwart everything we try to do again like in Game 1?

I expect the Celtics to come into this game and take care of business. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. The Celtics aren't just fully capable of beating the Heat, they are the better team.

It's time they go out and prove it. Only getting 8 turnovers last game was fantastic, and I hope they take care of the ball in this game, too, as well. They just need to make their shots that they get.

You would think , Stern would want to let the guys play and let the game play though all the little touch fouls....in other words don't let game be decided by refs.  FOULS need to be called equally on STAR players as all the rest.    

But, its the way both teams play   ...high intensity offensive moves and inside dunking vs  a team that prides itself in hard nose defense.  Result is refs screwing up a good basketball game.

I like old school 70's ball where the refs let the game be played out on court.

Loose balls seem to be finding there way into Heat hands early -- not sure if just luck or quicker. 

Not sure what to make of this start.  Can't be disappointed compared to Game 1, but I definitely don't like the easy hoops and the continued difficulty defending the pick and roll.

Observations:

1. Rondo is looking sharp

2. C's as a whole are looking pretty good right now

3. The Heat flop like crazy, especially Wade. It's actually gotten to the point where I can't enjoy watching a game with Wade playing in, because all I see is his flopping constantly. Wade is literally ruining the game for me.

4. Looks like we're gonna have to play 5v8 again

I hope Greg makes a foul count if you know what I mean, if they got it in for you, then make it count.

Dream scenario: he checks in, gets his 5th in the first 5 seconds, uses his 6th to injure Wade via elbow dislocation.

He did knock Wade down once or twice... But then again, it might have just been Wade falling

I hope white trash miller's body gives out on him soon enough so I don't have to see him in the league anymore, he is hanging on by a thread. Speaking of Wade's flopping when I saw the replay of the Stiemsma foul of Wade on the offensive rebound I noticed that once the ball was tipped away Wade just threw his arms in the air and body to the ground to get the call, but in real time it's impossible for the refs to notice as he is so good at it.

Gotta post up Bass when James Jones is defending him.

Jones is a lightweight wing who can't compete in the post against many small forwards. No way he can defend Bass in the post. Too big, too strong.

Bass' shot-creation isn't great but it should be good enough to take J.Jones.

Exactly.  The refs are absurdly gullible and fall for every fake and flop of the Heat.  I personally think Rondo should pretend like Lebron hits him hard on those pick & rolls.  Then Rondo should pretend that his neck is in real pain (like  Lebron does).

Observations:

1. Rondo is looking sharp

2. C's as a whole are looking pretty good right now

3. The Heat flop like crazy, especially Wade. It's actually gotten to the point where I can't enjoy watching a game with Wade playing in, because all I see is his flopping constantly. Wade is literally ruining the game for me.
4. Looks like we're gonna have to play 5v8 again

Agreed, I've come to dislike Wade more than Lebron.  Ever since Lebron and Bosh signed with Miami, he's turned into such a flopping, hypocritical, cocky, whiny punk.

Not a fan of his anymore

I love Keyon Dooling's defensive effort, I know his shooting has been absolutely horrible this year but the way he carries himself as a leader/sportsman is just awesome, Mario Chalmers is nothing but a punk and has no business disrespecting a professional like Dooling but I'll take the free point. I'd feel the same way if someone like Sean Williams disrespected Battier, even though I don't like Battier I know he is a pro.

the refs call fouls on him for breathing so I take that bonus issue with a grain of salt.

as for the putback, it's better than Hollins has done.  Steimsma has good hands and can score.  Hollins, nothing other than a lob for a dunk.

We can take the refs, and we can take Lebron and Wade, but we can't take them together. I know we're not directly involved, but the reason these playoffs have been so harrowing for us fans is because we perceive an even greater loss of control when the outcome is drastically effected by a third party.

Very pleased with that First Half. Really the best we could have hoped for, considering you kinda expected a Heat run. 7 points up at half isn't very bad at all. I like where we're at. The Celtics just have to keep executing their game plan, keep being aggressive, but smart. The Celtics aren't being stupid aggressive so far; they are being smart aggressive.

If we can cut down on those bail out plays for the Heat, where their 3 point shooters knock down those three point shots after they manage to get their hands on the offensive rebound, we'll be doing ourselves a huge favor.

Great first half. I hope Rondo has legs left in the 4th quarter.

Rondo once again was not so great finishing at the rim, but he didn't let that discourage him and he kept penetrating. I am not one who believes he is afraid to shoot FTs. I tend to believe that he doesn't believe he can finish as well as others. I attribute his poor finishing partly to the horizontal speed as he approaches the rim, not necessarily to substandard shooting.

I agree with your first second sentence completely.

I think we will continue to live with those 3 attempts if we can continue to frustrate Lebron and Wade since it isn't as if they are getting those every play.

I was sad about Stiemsma's fouls since he is so much better on offense than Hollins.

I thought they lost their grip on the game late in the second quarter. Need to come out in the third and regain it. A strong start to the third.

Miami was starting to get their foot in the door late in the half. Give them some more space to get comfortable and things could get complicated quickly. Need to smack them back down.

Refereeing has been horrible.

Keep taking it to the cup. There is no rim protection there.

Honetly, a few bad calls, but horrible?

That call where lebron got free throws when he powerslammed rondo on the floor was an abomination.

Steamer- 4 fouls 3 mins.

And Hollins sucked like usual.
We should honestly consider playing Williams over him.

That one specifically was a superstar foul. Overall though, it's been somewhat balanced.

The game is very good so far, but I hope the Celtics get a bit more distance from the Heat in this game, or at least win this quarter in terms of points.

Why did we stop double teaming Wade? Just make sure to stay on Chalmers since he decided he wanted to be an NBA player today.

I gotta say, this has been a very good game so far. It isn't exactly too late for the Celtics to step it up and still win this quarter, and I hope they do. You had to expect the Heat would have a quarter such as this eventually, but the Celtics are executing well. The Heat are just scoring more easily now.

Miami is just better.  Is what it is.  Good run boston.

Absolutely no composure.

And Doc definately needs to be criticized for this game.  No ingame adjustments.

I almost wish there wasn't going to be a 4th, cause the Celtics are going to get absolutely crushed.

This game really is a perfect microcosm of this Celtics team.

They can hang with the Heat for a half.  But thats about it.
Please.  They have he better team.  Sometimes there is nothing a coach can do.

I don't get it. I really don't. Still, there's an entire 4th qtr for us to regain our composure and win this game.

Lol.  I'm not seeing a Celtic team that is playing poorly. In fact, I'd go as far as to say this is hands down the best we could possibly play.  Rondo is having the greatest shooting game of his entire life.  Pierce is playing fantastic.  KG is KG... and Ray is actually hitting shots.

Miami is just better.  Is what it is.  Good run boston.

I see a C's team that was playing one way in the first half and the exact opposite in the next.

You are incredible, we are one of the top defensive teams in the league and we basically let Miami score in nearly some way nearly every possession that quarter, our offense is playing better than usual but our defense is not up to par. Miami is not invincible, they just smell blood

A bad quarter but they are still within striking distance.

Miami is playing well but not dominant. Boston just need to get their intensity and urgency levels back up to where they were in the first half. Especially on the defensive end and on the boards.

The 3 point shot and those second chance buckets are what are truly responsible for keeping the Heat in this one. The Celtics tighten up on that, and simply just score the ball, they can win this game.

Lebron, I think, made 3 huge 3 point shots on the outside.

But when a team comes out in the second half with a new defense, and that new defense causes you to completely lose your composure and offensive rhythm, it's up to the coach to counter it during the game.

The Heat play another sport... I don't know if is WWE or boxing, or Football or Hockey. They just literally beat their opponents up to the point where they're too tired to play on both ends.

And if you are the banged up Celtics, decimated by injuries, that's the perfect Stern for the ESPN Boys from South Beach. We'll need more athleticism to knock those idiots down.

I really want to see Sean Williams and Sasha Pavlovic deliver some good hard playoff fouls and beat up Wade, who flops and fouls his defender on every play.

Go Celtics!!

If you were told back in February the Celtics would be in the final four, would you have been happy? I sure would have. I know how much I want to see them beat Miami, but if they don't they still did something I never expected by even making it this far.

Not making excuses - they ARE here so they should be playing better and with more purpose in the second half, but it is what it is.

The clear path foul is the stupidest rule in the nba.

How can you get two shots AND the ball...when you're playing defense.
Huh? You have to have the ball for a clear path. That means you are on offense.

Pietrus was trying to avoid a high speed collision at the rim... where he more than likely would have been called for a flagrant.  Figured he'd tie him up and foul him before he got to the rim... How could that be a clear path if Pietrus was in front of him.

But ... a lot of bad things have happened, and we're right there with a good possession. KG isn't very aggressive right now on the offensive end, either.

But I hope I can say that they played a really good game, and got the win, too. The Celtics can clearly beat this Heat team. This is beyond obvious.

And this is inherently the problem with this team and this half.
They start resting for jumpshots, I guess because they're tired.
Rondo was doing a magnificent job in the first half driving inside, but that strategy, for whatever reason, was abandoned.

Huh? You have to have the ball for a clear path. That means you are on offense.

No no, I'm saying you're rewarding the offensive team with 2 free throws and the ball...when essentially the other team was just playing defense.

Like if a player has an open layup in front of me, this rule is basically saying, don't play defense, allow the player to score, and don't foul...or else they'll get free throws and the ball back.

We can never have everyone going at the same time. Ever. If KG has a good night PP has a horrible one. If PP has a good night, Ray is off. If Rondo is good, KG is off. It NEVER fails.

Seriously could not have asked for more than what the Celtics gave us tonight.  Best offense we've had all playoffs.  King James and his sidekicks are just too darn good.  

Hat's off to Boston.  This was our 1 game to steal in this series and it just didn't come together.

I think that was an incredible performance by the C's in that quarter.  They stemmed the tide and won the quarter after Miami appeared to be in control.
 
It will be tough to take this in OT.

More worried about the loss of Pierce's defense than his offense here.

they'll take at least one.  C's played a great game tonight and still couldn't win.  Rondo won't have another game like this.  Ray either probably.  KG and Bass won't play well enough to make up the difference.

I am so SICK of Dwyane Wade. Dirtiest player in the league by far. Last year he breaks Rondo's elbow. And now this?? He needs a torn ACL. Seriously. I never wish injury on players but this is ridiculous.

Rondo was amazing

It'll be hard to recover with only a days rest, call it a cop out if you want but this is why the lockout and shortened season and hardly any rest between playoff games kills us. I'd like to see us all come back again next year on a regular schedule and training camp reload one more year. If we had Green, Bradley and whoever else we reload on I'm confident we can take these chumps out.

They played their hearts out tonight.  A few baskets went their way.  This hurts.

We have to keep home court.  We need to go back to Miami 2-2 with game 5 on the line and I think we can do this.  This loss is only going to fuel the Celtics but I worry about their legs.  In the end, it's going to be heart that prevails and the Celtics have it.  Wade and LeBron are riding on talent and nothing else.  If either one of them had half of Rondo's fire, they'd be rolling in 3 or 4 rings each already.

And Wade will always have the refs.  It's sickening to watch.

Rondo played unbelievable.  Hats off to him.  Lost a lot of respect for KG.  So tired of him playing like he is 6'4 instead of 7'1.   Never dunks the ball when he is alone under the basket (at the end of half).  Has a mismatch with Chalmers and decides to pass it out (with Pierce out).  Stop with the passive nonsense.

WE NEED A BENCH, plain and simple. We need guys that can make plays. Steamer has to stop committing fouls as soon as he gets in the game (unless he makes them count, that's totally acceptable). We will not beat the Heat with only 7 points coming from our bench, plain and simple. We need more from them. Our defense can't lapse as much as it does either. The third quarter is what cost us, plain and simple.

Frankly he should let loose and take the fine.

This is part of the problem, a coach has every right here to complain about reffing and will be fined. Refs probably get a raise from Stern. They certainly don't get a fine!

I'm proud of this team. They played their [dang] hearts out. They have nothing to be ashamed of about this loss. Nothing at all.

Huge missed call by the refs late, but I'll also do something rare. I'll give the Heat some credit. They really earned this one tonight. Yes, those missed calls late hurt the Celtics bad, but the Heat fought for this one and earned it.

Sometimes you gotta tip your hat, and this is one of those games. However, the Celtics, to me, look like the more dangerous team. They really and truly do.

I was actually surprised that the espn folks were pretty critical of the refs on the rondo call on sportscenter.  I can't believe that ANY NBA ref misses that call.  DA / Doc need to be on the phone tomorrow to someone at the league office.  It is just getting to the point of being absolutely one sided.
You can't not call that smack in the face.

Huge props to our Celtics, we fought and fought and kept coming back.  Serious Celtic Pride going on tonight.  Rondo was a wizard.  I don't want to hear any more posts about how its Rondo's fault here or Rondo's fault there.  This was a historic performance.  I am so proud of the C's and so proud to be a celtic fan.  The refs can go and collect their pat on the back from Stern, but everyone saw what happened tonight in overtime.

Go Celtics!

Sorry, at the OT buzzer I had a heart attack. An ambulance took me to the ER and doctors gave me a triple bypass. I recovered and now I am back. I came back to check on Rondo as well.

So what happened?

Agreed.  Im not blaming the refs tonight becasue we had our chances, but the Heat steeped up too when they coulda folded.  the wade foul on Rondo and Kick, Meh, late in the game it happens.  At least the refs actually let them play.  I believe we wont lose the next two at home.  We will be lcoked in for both games.  I liked our energy, passion and physicality.  And I was happy to see Ray get a big shot.  Im ready for Friday!
