Game Notes
As the series shifts back to Boston,  the Celtics will attempt to do something they haven't done since 1969, and that is to come back from an 0-2 deficit to win a playoff series.  Only 14 teams have ever come back from an 0-2 deficit to win a best of 7 playoff series.  The team that wins the first 2 games goes on to win the series 94% of the time.  But, never underestimate the heart of a champion.

The Celtics were counted out at the beginning of the season when they got off to a slow start.  They were counted out mid season when they lost 7 of 8 going into the All Star game.   They were counted out when they lost the series opener to Atlanta.  Once again, they were counted out when they lost home court to Philly.  They are too old, too beat up, too slow, etc.    They have defied the critics so far and are hoping to defy the critics once again beginning with this game and taking it one game at a time as they try to defy statistics that say that they won't win this series.    

Don't expect Wade and James to get complacent with a 2-0 lead.  Both players have been on the other side of an 0-2 comeback to win a series. Wade led a Heat comeback from a 2-0 series deficit against Dallas in the 2006 NBA finals (with, of course, a lot of help from the refs).   James rallied his Cavs from an 0-2 deficit to win the Eastern Conference crown against Detroit in 2007.

There has been much talk about the officiating in both games so far.  While the officiating in game 1 was bad,  the Celtics lost that because they played poorly.  Game 2, was a different story in that calls (and non-calls) down the stretch had a definite influence on the outcome of the game.  We would hope, especially after the non-call on Wade's face rake of Rondo, that the refs would owe the Celtics one going into game 3.  I'm not all that confident that the Celtics will get the benefit of the calls, even in Boston.  

It's time for Celtic Pride to kick in.  The Celtics played very well but they could play better as a team.  They had a lapse where they allowed the Heat to come back from a 15 point deficit.  Paul Pierce could have played better.  The bench can definitely play much better.   They have room to improve, but the question will be whether they have the legs and the energy to do so.  Rondo played the entire 53 minutes and KG, Pierce and Ray all played over 40 minutes and they play again on just one day of rest.  

If heart counts for anything, I'll put my money on the Celtics to win this one and to take the series.  If their bodies can keep up with their hearts, the series will be tied going back to Miami.

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.  Rondo played a game of historic proportions in game 2.  It's hard to imagine that he could play better.  But I believe that he can have another great game in spite of playing 53 minutes 2 nights ago.  Mario Chalmers had a big game 2 also and was able to keep the Heat in the game when the Celtics were able to limit Wade and James.  The Celtics need to stay with Chalmers as he is capable of hitting big shots.    

(http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/boston/PierceBos.jpg) vs (http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/miami/LeBronMia.jpg)
Paul Pierce vs LeBron James
Pierce must be more aggressive in going to the basket and trying to draw fouls.  He had NO free throws in game 1 and shot just 6 in game 2.  Of course getting to the line will also depend on the refs calling fouls on the Heat, which they haven't been doing in either game so far .  The Celtics also need Pierce to be more aggressive on the boards. He also must continue to limit LeBron from getting to the hoop but do so without fouling out.     The Celtics need more from their Captain and they need him on the court at the end of the game.    

Honorable Mention
 
Kevin Garnett vs Ronny Turiaf/Joel Anthony
KG was once again irate after game 2.  He played 45 minutes and was the recipient of a questionable call himself when Wade was awarded a basket and free throw after kicking KG in the groin and then again in the chest MMA style as he went to the basket,   While playing big minutes may take a toll on him,  I expect KG to come out strong and have a big game in this one.    


Keys to the Game

Run the Offense - The Celtics must run their sets and move the ball.   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 or Wade dunk at the other end.  The Celtics must be aggressive in going to the basket and either score, draw a foul or kick it out to the open man.  

Rebound - The Celtics got out worked on the boards 48-33 in game 1.  The rebounds in game 2 were even at 42.   Much of rebounding is desire and effort.  How else can you explain 6'1" Rondo out rebounding everyone on the court?   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 Celtics played much better defense in game 2 but slacked off in the 3rd quarter, allowing the Heat to overcome the lead that the Celtics had built.   The Celtics have got to play in your face defense from start to finish.  They proved that they can defend the Heat and take both Wade and James out of their offensive flow in game 2 and they must do that once again.  

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 get the foul because as we have seen in the games so far, the refs don't always call the fouls even when they are obvious.  And they have to be the more aggressive team on defense.  They can't allow the Heat to outwork them.  

Bench Play - The Celtics must get more from their bench.  The Celtics got just 7 points from their bench in game 2.  The Heat, whose bench is supposed to be one of their weaknesses scored 25.  Pietrus, Dooling, and Stiemsma have got to give the Celtics more quality minutes and they have to be able to give the Celtics more points off the bench.  

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.  Rondo played 53 minutes in game 2 and Pierce, KG and Ray all played over 40 minutes.  Hopefully they can recover from the disappointment and physical rigors of game 2 to take this game.  

The officiating in game 1 was absolutely horrible.  The officiating in game 2 was even worse.  Will the officials call it fair or will they once again hit the Celtics with phantom fouls and allow the Heat free reign to rake players across the face without even making a play for the ball or kick players in the chest and be rewarded for it?   The Celtics already have an uphill battle overcoming age and injuries without also having to overcome one sided officiating as well.   The league and the officials definitely owe one to the Celtics but I wish I had more confidence that they will do the right thing.

I expect big things from our team in G3. And I expect our team to get 90 to 100 % of the 50/50 calls. We'll see.
All eyes are on the Zebras - Yes, we are looking at you, mr. Stern...

TP once again, FL. In my opinion your work can never be appreciated enough. Thank you.

Go Celtics!

Yup! I know they will put out a level 33 effort tonight. We just need level 33 energy from the TD Banknorth crowd to scare the effs to call the game in our favor. I have been ill this week and admit to not being able to invoke all of the lucky 33 charms. F Dennys for giving me food poisening. The paper bag may be between my knees but I will keep watching as long as the green ticker keeps going.

Official Report
Scott Foster
8 playoff games as main official
Home team win % of 75%
46.0 fouls called per game
49.5% of the fouls are called on the home team
2.6 technicals called per game
A veteran official of 17 NBA seasons, Scott Foster has worked 1,074 regular season and 80 playoff games, including seven Finals games during his career. He was a member of the crew that officiated the 1996 Europe Tour in Berlin, Germany and Seville, Spain. In addition to his NBA experience, Foster has two years of CBA officiating experience, two years of collegiate officiating experience and six years of high school officiating experience in Maryland. Prior to becoming an official, Foster modeled for department store mannequin mold makers. He came into the public eye as the best friend of former referee Tim Donaghy. In his book, Donaghy describes Foster as a very honest and good guy who knew nothing of his gambling. However, recently Donaghy described Foster as a company man who will do what is asked of him to keep his seniority among refs. Foster was also part of the 2010 Finals game 7 officiating crew that called the final quarter completely different than the first 3 quarters and very one sided for the Lakers with 21 free throws for the Lakers and 6 for the Celtics in the final 12 minutes. The Celtics are 4-3 this season and 5-5 in their last 10 games with Foster on the court. In the OT win over the Knicks, NY shot 26 free throws to 22 for the Celtics. In the first loss, at New Orleans, the Celtics shot 18 free throws to 25 for the Hornets. The second loss, at Denver, was horribly officiated. At the end of 3 quarters, the Nuggets had 22 free throws to 5 for the Celtics. They ignored fouls against the Celtics all game but at the same time, called them for ticky tack and non-existent fouls. For the game, the Nuggets shot 31 free throws to 17 for the Celtics. The 4th game was against Miami and was called evenly with the Celtics shooting 25 free throws to 27 for the Heat. The next game was a win over the Bucks where they shot 23 free throws to 11 for the Celtics. Foster also called game 2 in Atlanta where the Celtics shot 31 free throws to 20 for the Hawks. Finally, Foster called game 4 of the Philly series where the Celtics shot 19 free throws to 36 for the Sixers. The Heat are 4-1 this season and 8-2 with Foster in their last 10 games. His home W/L record this season is 35-25. Foster as a lead ref makes me nervous. He can be good but he can also be very bad.

Mike Callahan
4 playoff games as crew official
Home team win % of 50%
44.3 fouls called per game
50.8% of the fouls are called on the home team
0.3 technicals called per game
A veteran of 21 NBA seasons, Mike Callahan has officiated 1,265 regular season and 110 playoff games and 11 NBA Finals games. He was a member of the crew that officiated the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, 1994 Mexico Challenge and the 1996 Schick Rookie Game. Prior to joining the NBA, Callahan spent three years officiating in the CBA, including the 1989 and 1990 CBA Finals. A member of the Cardinal O’Hara High School basketball team for four years, Callahan also coached the freshman basketball team after graduating. Callahan has run a clinic for referees called “Hoops4Heros” that benefits local fire departments and maintains strong ties to the Philadelphia community through his volunteer work with the Don Guanella School for developmentally disabled boys. Callahan is one of 4 refs to come out of Cardinal O'Hara High School in Pennsylvania. The other 3 are Joey Crawford, Ed Malloy and Tim Donaghy. Callahan was one of the referees mentioned in an incident in Tim Donaghy's book. He and other refs would regularly wager with their fellow refs over things like who would call the first foul, who could give out the first tech, etc. Makes you wonder what game they might be playing tonight. The Celtics are 9-1 over their last 10 games with Callahan officiating. They are 4-1 this season, including one preseason game against Toronto where the Raptors shot 36 free throws to 34 for the Celtics. Another win was against Detroit where the Celtics shot 19 free throws to 15 for the Pistons. The third win was Game 3 in this series vs Philly where the Celtics shot 28 free throws to 22 for the Sixers. He also called the loss in game 1 of the Hawks series where the Celtics shot 13 free throws to 21 for the Hawks and the officiating was terrible with several obvious bad calls, most of which were made by Marc Davis, who was the head ref for that game. The last game he officiated was Game 7 vs Philly where the Celtics shot 22 free throws to 20 for the Sixers. He usually lets the teams play and isn't a tyrant with the whistle. He isn't easily influenced by the home crowd with a home W/L record this season of 30-28.

Rodney Mott
7 playoff games as crew official
Home team win % of 71.4%
41.7 fouls called per game
47.6% of the fouls are called on the home team
0.0 technicals called per game
Rodney Mott has officiated 870 regular season games and seven playoff games during his 14-season NBA career. Prior to joining the NBA officiating staff, Mott spent four years officiating in the CBA, eight years officiating in the Los Angeles Pro Am basketball league, three years officiating at the junior college level, and four years officiating high school in San Diego. In 2007, Mott was suspended without pay for 3 games for making an obscene gesture and inappropriate comment toward a fan. Mott challenged the charges and said that they used him as a scapegoat to take attention away from other issues, but the suspension stood. One can only imagine the "other issues" that they were taking attention away from. The Celtics are 2-2 this season and 6-4 over their last 10 games with Mott. One loss this season was at Dallas and there weren't many fouls called on either team. The Mavs shot 14 free throws to 11 for the Celtics. The second loss was to the Raptors where the Raptors shot 31 free throws to 19 for the Celtics. One win was over the Rockets who shot 29 free throws to 31 for the Celtics and the officiating was good. The final win was Game 5 of the Philly series where the Celtics shot 33 free throws to 16 for the Sixers. The Heat are 4-0 this season and 7=3 with Mott in their last 10. His home W/L record this season is 39-21.

Normally I'd say to go with the GF because that's where the wins are happening. 
However, this is an unusual situation: Everything (IMO) is leaning the wrong way in this series; refs, aging vets playing high minute, short rest following a brutally tiring game, nagging injuries, loose Heat team... I think it's time to live dangerously and go against conventional wisdom.  Go with the buddies and if the C's pull out the victory you then have to ride the winning formula for the duration -- a win-win.

Gonna say it again.  I don't know how we can play better than we did last game.  Rondo had the greatest game of his career.  He'll probably never shoot that well again in his entire life.  KG was solid.  Pierce was as good as he can possibly be while battling a sprained MCL.  Ray had his best game of the playoffs.  As a team we shot 50%.  By far our best offensive game of the playoffs.  Our team was even with them on rebounds (our normal weakness).  We held LeBron to 35% shooting...   That game was a best case scenario and we still lost.

I want to believe, but I'm having trouble seeing how we can improve on that performance.

I think Stern allows this one to go to Game 6. The NBA stands to benefit financially by it being extended out

If Stern was trying to extend this series... he would have made sure we walked away from Game 2 with a victory since we're unlikely to have another offensive game anywhere near that one.... and they could hype the crap out of a tied series with stuff like "Is Rondo enough to stop Miami!??"...  Ultimately this thing is looking like it could end up a sweep.  Stern blew it.  I know a couple of my friends who aren't even bothering watching tonight, because they consider the series already over.

Not necessarily...the series tied at 2-2 adds drama...the old age Celtics won't quit!!! Then the Heat triumph in Boston on their rivals home court! Smell the ratings!

Its sad that this is less legitimate than pro wrestling. I'm still watching because I've never missed watching or listening to a game on the radio but it sucks to know that its come to this.

Rondo is having another MVP performance tonight, hopefully not playing 53 minutes.

Pierce will play a great game.

Refs won't screw the Celtics three games in a row... this time the Celtics need to win the game and forget about the calls.

Sasha is playing tonight.

Thanks for the Russell bit. No C killers amongst the Zebras, right?  Fear they left it on the floor in G2; hoping for the Fountain of Youth in G3 (and on).  Between Hope and Fear, waiting for the tip.

Scal just dropped more useful knowledge in 30 seconds than Donny Marshall has done in his TV career.

"What they have to do when they trap, the three people have to flood the lane and make Miami kick the ball to the perimeter. If the ball goes in the lane, somebody's getting a wide open shot."

Good job, Scal. Send our your resume to Fox Sports North Dakota.

Hey Doc, put Sean Williams and Sasha out there and let them foul out giving real hard fouls... those "hacking" on LeBron doesn't look hard enough.

Here's hoping the players put officiating behind them and focus only on winning this game, but as a fan I can't find the "homecooking" by the refs on this game. Not at all.

So the fact that they didn't call a Pietrus grab on Lebron means "the refs are in our pockets tonight"...interesting, I guess that all evens out with the egregious calls AT THE END of game 2.

Yes.  Heat strategy was a good one but we clearly weathered it (and Lebron's 'heat').  If they keep it up, I'm not sure we can keep pace, but I'm not sure they can keep it up. Good C's D the last few minutes. 

Love the bench contribution!

Right now the game plan should be, just contain LeBron, and don't allow open shots. If we can do that, it's a 15 point blowout.

I feel like they should have a bigger lead than 7.

Not getting enough separation on the scoreboard despite getting all these stops (Miami only 6 points in 7 and a half second quarter minutes). Leaving themselves vulnerable for the eventual Miami run that you know is coming.

I've been telling the Heat fans for two days now that we'd be getting all the calls in game 3.

Looking good so far, except for the Rondo-James thing. And Wade with two already  :-*
How could anyone actually be a heat fan....PP for 3....I hope we go on a 3 barrage...!!! Rain 'em in..!!!

I'm genuinely worried about our players getting severely injured. They're escalating their hard fouls and not even playing basketball anymore. That Bass foul was loud and even then the refs hesitated to blow their whistles.

Gonna say it again.  I don't know how we can play better than we did last game.  Rondo had the greatest game of his career.  He'll probably never shoot that well again in his entire life.  KG was solid.  Pierce was as good as he can possibly be while battling a sprained MCL.  Ray had his best game of the playoffs.  As a team we shot 50%.  By far our best offensive game of the playoffs.  Our team was even with them on rebounds (our normal weakness).  We held LeBron to 35% shooting...   That game was a best case scenario and we still lost.

I want to believe, but I'm having trouble seeing how we can improve on that performance.

Ball don't lie.

And did anyone see the wink from Chalmers, I'm not even sure how much of that elbow it connected. From behind KG it looks like it connected, but the view on KG's right (which they only showed once), looks like Chalmers flopped without elbow even connecting.

Not to mention Turiaf's reaction after KG dunked on him earlier in the game, and Battier's shoulders/pushes/tangles after whistle was called. None of them were called, I just don't see how this is fair.

30% of this run is on the refs.  That means that 70% is on this horrible 4th quarter D.  Plus this small lineup has really screwed with them.

And credit to Mike Miller for knocking down shots, granted all wide open but he's hurting.

Trade buckets until the 2 minute mark and its a lock.  That's three more minutes to keep attacking, keep doing what's been doing.  Three more minutes, then you can run the clock.

The refs are visibly shaking in their boots in regards to fouls and the Heat (offensive or defensive).

Wade's outburst after the out of bounds call (KG or Wade) would have gotten a Celt a TECH.  For Wade?  Nothing.  James even came over and said something to the ref.

Dangit.  Call it.

Call I say "dangit?"

Personally, I would like to see Doc just give his bench the chance to play consistently, like they did in years past. I *know* this bench is hardly as strong as we have had, but at this point, we have to have them continue to produce to win this series. Just trust them, if they blow it, then they do. We cannot ride Rondo for 53 minutes again and think we can win a series.

Tonight was a very good sign, Doc used his bench a lot more, though I still do not understand what he was doing in the 4th quarter. Just trust them Doc. Let them have the chance to fail...or succeed.

Are they serious? They should be the last team to talk about refs since they've been getting biased calls throughout the playoffs. They see what happens when it's not all in their favor and they don't stay at the line the whole game.

I'm happy for the win even though I almost lost it when they lost the huge lead. Thank you Doc for playing Marquis because he brought a spark tonight along win Keyon.
This isn't over yet so I hope they go and win game 4. I feel more confident than  last year that they can win game 4.

LIke I mentioned a few days ago, I work with a Heat fan and I asked her point blank, "Be honest, do you think the refs are helping Miami?" She laughed and said, "Oh yes, absolutely."

We talked more and I told her, hell, if Lebron and his gang are going to beat us, then I want to see them beat us, straight up, lights out, doing their thing. If the torch is going to be passed, then ok, it happens...but beat us as a team. Losing is nothing, I can handle losses without a problem. Losing with such crap that happened in the 1st two games is just nauseating.

Gotta love Daniels.  Said it before the series: his game is probably the closest to Avery Bradley's of all the reserves we have.  Doc needs to continue to incorporate him the rest of the playoffs. 

He plays great D, can cut, can get to the hoop, and handles the ball very well.  Last year (prior to his injury), he was our top swing reserve.

Excellent game.  We actually had a better offense than the last one... which I didn't think was possible.  50% shooting.  Actually outrebounded them by 12.  Pierce one-upped his last performance by dumping 23 on a sprained MCL.  KG one-upped his last performance by dumping 24 and 11.  Ray was solid once again for the second game in a row.  Rondo was brilliant once again... shots stopped falling but it didn't matter.  21-10-6... fantastic.  Bench was better.  Outstanding.  The refs had our backs early and took the wind out of MIami's sails with some questionable calls in our favor (of the top of my head there was a blatant foul on LeBron from Pietrus that they swallowed their whistles on... there was a bogus "offensive foul" that was called on Battier where he clearly was set... a couple fouls inside we got away with)... All-in-all I'll take it.  We avoided the brooms.  Proud as punch.

In the interest of balance since Doc gets a good deal of negativity from a few posters every game, I want to credit Doc for getting this team prepared to play a terrific game in a losing effort on Wendnesday and then a great win tonight after that emotional loss.

Doc really shouldn't be criticized for much other than some peculiar substitutions (i.e. keeping MP around for much of the 4th in place of MD).

YEAHHHHHHH!!

Just got from school...I saw that the C's had em' up by quite a bit, then MIA made a run?

But BOS closed it out!

Can't wait to watch the replay. Thank God for Technology.

Marquis on the postgame next to Rondo?? Dude must've had a nice game - good for him!

From the Heat board tonight:

"Well refs made it happen for the C's"
Are they serious? They should be the last team to talk about refs since they've been getting biased calls throughout the playoffs. They see what happens when it's not all in their favor and they don't stay at the line the whole game.

I'm happy for the win even though I almost lost it when they lost the huge lead. Thank you Doc for playing Marquis because he brought a spark tonight along win Keyon.
This isn't over yet so I hope they go and win game 4. I feel more confident than  last year that they can win game 4.

LIke I mentioned a few days ago, I work with a Heat fan and I asked her point blank, "Be honest, do you think the refs are helping Miami?" She laughed and said, "Oh yes, absolutely."

We talked more and I told her, hell, if Lebron and his gang are going to beat us, then I want to see them beat us, straight up, lights out, doing their thing. If the torch is going to be passed, then ok, it happens...but beat us as a team. Losing is nothing, I can handle losses without a problem. Losing with such crap that happened in the 1st two games is just nauseating.

When even Heat fans can see the problem, you KNOW there is a problem...lol
As a Celtic fan, I can back up the idea that the refs helped Boston tonight.  We got away with murder early to the point that I felt obligated to point it out in this thread.  Multiple questionable calls in our favor.  

I've been arguing with anyone and everyone that reffing goes both ways.  You can't cry about the refs "screwing" you one night if you aren't going to acknowledge the refs "screwing" our opponent the next.  There have been several games and series where our opponents had a claim that we were helped by the refs.  Personally, I try to ignore all of this and just assume it's basic human error.  But unquestionably early there were clear fouls that we got away with... and clear non-fouls that were called against the Heat.  If someone needs an example to back this up... check out the blatant foul by Pietrus early in the game where he literally wrapped up LeBron to slow him down... the refs just swallowed their whistles and turned the other way.  The announcers even commented on it.  Is what it is... part of the game, bros.  Good win.  One-upped our offense from the last game (didn't even think that was possible).  We avoided the brooms.  I'll take it.

Man we definitely outplayed Miami tonight... and that last game really could have gone our way if we had caught some breaks.  We could have been up 2-1 in this series.  Such a shame.  Maybe we have a shot afterall.  If our offense keeps firing on all cylinders like this... we just might.

NBA where refs help teams win.

You know what should be a part of the game a little thing called LET THE PLAYERS play and fight it out. You know the FAIR way. Why bother playing at all then? Why don't we go ask the refs and Stern who they would like to win? Why play the game if this is how it is going to be? It would save players from injuries
