Game Notes
Here we are again at yet another game 7.  Many have written off the Celtics and say there is no way they can win this game on the Heat's floor where they have been tough to beat all season.  But then again they said that before game 5 also.  If any team can beat the odds and pull out this win, it is this Celtics team.  

If the Celtics need any motivation beyond the fact that they are in game 7, they need look no further than the final 3 minutes of their blow out loss to the Heat in game 6.   Celtics fans stood for the final 3 minutes of that game sending them off to this game with a "Let's Go Celtics" chant that has to still echo in their heads.  If that doesn't make them leave it all out on the court, I don't know what will.  

The Celtics have been there before.   The Celtics have played in (28) and won (21) more game sevens than any other team in the league.  This version of the Celtics have faced their share of game sevens including one versus the Sixers in the previous round.   They made game sevens a regular practice on their way to the championship in 2008.  

They could have made it easy on themselves by showing up for game 6 but they didn't.  They could have been resting and waiting for the Finals to begin, but they aren't.  But, this team doesn't seem to like taking the easy route and if any team can win a game 7 on the road, I'll go with this team.  

You’ve probably forgotten all about them by now.
Nothing left in the tank, nothing left to prove, too slow, too injury prone, too much mileage. Hmm…
You better hope you’re right, because here they come and what some call age.
They call experience, grit, toughness, leadership, moxie, savvy, passion, desire, heart and these guys are at their best when the stakes get BIG.

Key Matchups
(http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/rajon_rondo.jpg)  vs  (http://www.nba.com/media/playerfile/mario_chalmers.jpg)
Rajon Rondo vs Mario Chalmers
As we have seen over and over this post season,  as Rondo goes, so go the Celtics.   The Celtics need Rondo to be aggressive and to have a huge game, not just scoring, but leading the offense and keeping the offense moving.  He can't let the team lapse into hero ball.  Triple Double Rondo would be great.  They also have to stick with Chalmers on the perimeter because he is more aggressive on offense at home.  

(http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nba/players/65/662.jpg)  vs  (http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nba/players/65/1966.jpg)
Paul Pierce vs LeBron James
LeBron James took over game 6 and got his team the win to keep his team alive in the series.  At the same time, Paul Pierce struggled mightily, shooting just 4-18 from the floor.  The Celtics need Pierce to come out of his slump and if his shot is still off, to take over other areas of the game, crashing the boards, defending against James,  and finding his teammates for open shots.  

Honorable Mention
Kevin Garnett vs Chris Bosh (or whoever)
Along with everyone else, KG had an off night in game 6.  The Celtics need the other-worldly KG that we have seen in most of the games this post season.  He needs to grab more than 5 rebounds.  Part of the reason for the Celtics inability to stay with the Heat was the failure to get rebounds, giving the Heat second chance points and keeping the Celtics one shot and done.  KG has to go inside more in this game on both offense and defense.  

Doc Rivers vs Erik Spoelstra
Spoelstra has gotten a lot of criticism for the Heat's performance or lack there of early in the LeBron/Wade era and in their losses in these playoffs.   He's in a lose lose situation because when the Heat lose he is blamed but when they win it's the players and not Spo.   Doc is still the more experienced coach and should have the advantage here.  The more intense the games, the more having an experienced coach is important and so the coaching advantage goes to the Celtics.  Let's hope Doc is at his best in this one.  

Keys to the Game
Defense -  The Celtics defense was a step slow in game 6.  They must play the in your face defense that got them to this point from start to finish.  They must limit the Heat's shots at the basket and box out to prevent put backs on second chance shots.  They also must stay with the perimeter shooters who will undoubtedly shoot better at home.  

Rebound - The Celtics have to limit the Heat's second chance baskets and fast breaks by crashing the boards.  The amount of effort put into winning the rebound battle often follows through to the other areas of the game.  The Celtics must be aggressive in beating the Heat to rebounds on both ends of the floor.   The team that wins the rebounding battle usually wins the game.  Being aggressive on the boards is a huge key to winning the game.  

Be Aggressive -  The Celtics have got to be aggressive in getting to the basket and not settle for jumpers all game, especially if they aren't falling again. They have to focus on finishing and not just trying to draw contact because more often than not, they aren't going to get the call.    They also have to be aggressive in diving for loose balls and winning the 50-50 battles.  The Celtics can't afford to give up possessions by failing to hustle after loose balls and after rebounds.  

Team Ball -  The Celtics need to play team ball.  When they move the ball and make the extra pass and find the open man and play as a team,  they are tough to beat.  When they revert to hero ball and there is little ball movement and they settle for quick shots, they rarely win.  Rondo is a big part of keeping the ball moving and setting up the offense and so hopefully he will be at his best in this series.    They need team play to beat the Heat, who depend on their 2 (or 3) stars to do most of the scoring.  

Bench Play   - The Celtics must get contributions from their bench.   The games that the Celtics have won in this series, they have had one of the reserves come up big.  The Celtics need for Pietrus, Dooling, Daniels and Stiemsma to contribute on both ends if the Celtics are to have a chance in this game.  

X-Factors
Focus and Officiating
The Celtics didn't appear to be all that focused in game 6.  They weren't running their sets, weren't playing Celtics defense and weren't hitting their shots, including their free throws.   On the other hand, you could tell that LeBron was focused on the game and locked in to get the win.  Every one of the Celtics must come into this game focused on playing team ball and on getting the win and they must keep that focus from the opening tip to the final buzzer.  

There has been a focus on the officiating in this series and that will likely continue in this game.   Officiating has been a factor in this series, most notably in the second game when Wade's hit to Rondo's head was ignored at the end of OT.  We have seen other series affected by officiating as well.   Hopefully the officials in this game will call it fair and allow the players to decide the outcome.

I'm afraid you may be right about the refs.  The NBA listed an OKC/MIA finals shirt in their store and then quickly took it down but the evidence was saved before they could take it down.  I'm hoping that every Celtic player sees this and that it fires them up just as the balloons in the ceiling did the 1969 team.

Go Celtics.

One more time for the amazing 5 years we've all enjoyed. One more huge win. Then we'll think about them OKcitycats.

If our boys play well, we can take this game and bring LeBron right back down to earth.

Go Celtics.

There are 3 factors that will make us win this game 7. out of which at least 2 has to be met in order to win.

1- Non controversial refereeing

2- getting stops

3- Execution on offense, NO offensive droughts



* If we can get stops and execute smoothe offense like Rondo always says in interviews when asked why are we playing well. it's simple GET STOPS ! and execute the offense, referees can suck it..doesn't matter what they do we'll blow them out.

I think this could be a totally different game than 5.  Whereas in that one, they needed to take the body blows and just hang around till they got some momentum going, I think in this one, they need to get ahead early...because doing that will start to put pressure on the Heat.  Don't see it affecting LeBron, but I do see it affecting their role guys.   If the Celts can get them to tighten up and start playing tentative, they'll win.

Same as last game.

Though it appeared it was the Celts who came out tight.

for all of attention Pierce got for his poor shooting in game 6. KG was nearly as bad with the outside game.  Really need to get KG going.  He's the key.

If that's the case then I feel pretty good about the game. He'll come to play.  Never felt great about Game 6 because they came in having beaten Miami 3 in a row and given their history in this year's playoffs, odds were against a great effort.  The other thing that makes me optimistic is Pierce is really due to have a big game...

I think the C's are going to win this...and then get smoked in Game 1 of the finals... ;)

Super excited for this game! In the words of Bart Scott, "Can't wait!".

Also, this playoff run has been one of my favorites for many reasons: one being that because of the Celtics, my girlfriend who never watched basketball before in her life, is now rooting for the Celtics and is a closet Celtics fan (won't admit it since she's an Ohioan but knows almost every player by name, accepted and wears a Rondo jersey, and is sad that she can't catch the game tonight being out of town) and two, the Celtics Big Three last hurrah's as it seems is playing out so nicely. We need that Game 7 push, and win or lose, these guys played their hearts out and I can't be prouder to say that I'm a Celtics fan! I hope tonight isn't the last game of the season for us but I wouldn't spend tonight any other way...

Also, we're 2-0 when my girlfriend doesn't watch the games with me. (Just saying)  ;)

everyones already pretty much anointed the heat as winners of this game, but I honestly like the C's chances

pierce played probably the worst playoff game of his career, and kg was pretty horrible offensively as well.

KG has RARELY had 2 bad games strung together this post-season...if Pierce/Allen can put up better performances and we can take care of the ball i like our chances here.

I dont think its going to be a "drubbing" like the media thinks.

Well, let's not dwell on the games that are now in the past. Let's focus on the game in front of us. The Celtics can win this game. It isn't even a question of if they can do it, they can, and I'm pretty [dang] confident that they'll indeed get it done.

I'm so [dang] proud of this team and they deserve to be in the Finals.

As Doc always says, it's a make or miss league, so we'll have to see who is making or missing tonight. 

The one thing that I can take some comfort in from last game, is that even with the sloppy turnovers and mediocre defense, the exact same game could play out and the Cetlics could win if everyone's shooting averages went back to normal. 

Could LeBron go off again?  Yes.  But it's very unlikely that he can do it with such efficiency again.  He's not a great shooter. 

But will the Celtics actually hit the wide open jumpers the Heat give them?

this is it. no matter what the outcome, this season has been amazing to me. i never thought this team would go through so many injuries and challenges AND STILL wind up with the chance to defeat the heat and advance to the finals.

this is a great team and i am glad to be a fan of the boston celtics basketball team.

i want the celtics to win and win big tonight.

I'm thinking he is right, I bet not even Bobcat games are as empty. The reason the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else... other teams fans actually attend the games! I mean, sure the rich old people with their cigars and glass of wine show up (all 10 of em), but if that's suppose to be a great atmosphere then I'll take the worst atmosphere for 200 Alex!

Official Report

Joe Crawford

Playoff games as lead official - 12

Home team win % - 75%

43.9 fouls called per game

51.4% of fouls called on road team

1.3 technicals called per game

Over more than three decades in the NBA, Joe Crawford has officiated 2,402 regular season and 278 playoff games, including 46 NBA Finals games. Crawford’s 278 playoff and 46 NBA Finals games are the most among active NBA officials. Over his career, Crawford has officiated the 1986, 1992 and 2000 NBA All-Star Games, as well as the 1993 McDonald’s Championship in Munich, Germany. There is no shortage of controversy surrounding Joey Crawford, the biggest of which was a suspension for tossing Tim Duncan for laughing on the bench and then challenging him to a fight. He is known for his quickness to call technical fouls but also doesn't tend to be influenced by the home crowd as much as many younger refs seem to be. In the 2008 Playoffs, Crawford was chosen to officiate Game 4 of the Western Conference final between the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers. In the closing seconds of the game, there was a no-call where the Spurs' Brent Barry was unquestionably fouled by Derek Fisher. Crawford was the closest official to the call, and the NBA later apologized for the lack of a call. Crawford was also one of the refs who was involved in the income tax evasion convictions and was suspended at that time as well. This is the Celtics 8th game with Crawford this season. He officiated the Christmas day loss to the Knicks, third Wizards game, and the win over the Cavs, and the April 1 game vs the Heat, all of which were well officiated. He also called the Lakers game in LA where the Celtics shot 12 free throws to 26 for the Lakers and they let the Lakers get away with a lot of contact the entire game and the Celtics not so much. He called game 4 vs the Hawks where the Celtics shot 13 free throws to 17 for the Celtics and the refs pretty much let them play. He also called game 6 of the Philly series where the Celtics shot 23 free throws to 28 for the Sixers and the officials called it fairly. The last game he called this season is game 4 in this Miami series in which the Celtics shot 20 free throws to 24 for the Heat. Crawford also called the 6th foul on LeBron James in this game, causing his first disqualification since 2006. The Celtics are 5-3 this season and 6-4 in their last 10 games with Crawford. The Heat are 2-4 this season and 4-6 in their last 10 with Crawford. His home W/L record this season is 33-28 and he's not easily influenced by the home crowd.

Mike Callahan

6 playoff games as crew official

Home team win % of 50%

45.8 fouls called per game

49.5 of the fouls are called on the road team

0.7 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 5-1 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. Another game he officiated was Game 7 vs Philly where the Celtics shot 22 free throws to 20 for the Sixers. His last game with the Celtics was game 3 of this series where both teams shot 24 free throws and the officiating was good. the Celtics are 7-3 over their last 10 with Callahan. The Heat are 5-2 this season and 7-3 over their last 10 with Callahan on the court. 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 31-29.

Scott Foster

12 playoff games as lead official (none as crew)

Home team win % of 58.3%

46.2 fouls called per game

52.5% of the fouls are called on the road team

2.4 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. The Celtics are 5-3 this season and 6-4 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. Foster also called game 4 of the Philly series where the Celtics shot 19 free throws to 36 for the Sixers. His last game for the Celtics was game 3 of this series where both teams shot 24 free throws and the officiating was good. The Heat are 4-2 this season and 7-3 with Foster in their last 10 games. His home W/L record this season is 36-26.

honestly, the real Key tonight is to keep the game close/lead if we can going into the fourth quarter.

the Heat are the ultimate front-running team in the league...if you spot them a big lead like we did last game, Lebron will stay agressive and theyll most likely win.

you keep the game close like we did in game 5 in Miami and then Lebron/wade get frustrated and Lebron stops being agressive and thinking too much...he scored 2points in the last 8minutes of that game.

if we can hang with Miami for 3 1/2 quarters i like our chances going into the last 5minutes of the game.

If someone would have told me we would have a game 7 in Miami to get to the finals before the season started, I would have been overjoyed!

Our team is filled with more prideful, talented veterans than any other. They will rise up to the occasion and shock the world in Miami in just a few hours. We will not only have to beat the Heat tonight, but rather, the league officiating as well. despite these obstacles, it can, and will be done....Doc will outcoach Mr. GQ..Rondo will have a game tonight that will make him a legend....KG and his passion will not be denied...PP will stay in the background until we need him most near the end...Ray Ray will find his shot and  Bass will become a hungry shark tonight....

Get ready to be awe-inspired, blown away, and filled with the euphoria of winning a game nobody thinks or wants us to win. I am jumping out of my skin waiting for tip off.

Prediction...Celtics 88, Heat 84....Go Celtics..Shock The World and on to Oklahoma we go!!

Post by: tgreanier on June 09, 2012, 07:13:17 PM
My friends:

Please note the following is what I *think* not what I hope.

For tonight's game, all I can hope for is the Celtics play well enough to force the refs to show their corruption. After all, if this is a repeat of game 6, the refs will have nothing to do with the loss. I am convinced right now (at 7:09PM) that the Celtics cannot and will not win this game no matter how well they play. I am convinced the refs will not let it happen. I suspect this is based on criteria coming from the NBA front office.

This does not in any way change my love for this team, its tradition or this particular unit. I hate to see them go out like this, but I will remain proud of them.

I know the Celtics have overcome ref bias before, but I simply do not see it happening tonight. I do not see the refs allowing it to happen. I actually expect a hell of a performance from the Celtics tonight.

I am not South Beach. I am a Celtic.

Getting really excited for the game now. 

Either we see what's probably the last game for the Big 3, or the C's move on to the Finals and we get to see how far this ride really goes.  It's a special night no matter what the outcome - though we all want the second one. 

And the Heat are a good nemesis.  They're like our evil twins.  It's gonna be a hell of a game.

Very intrigued to see how Miami come out in a Game Seven.

I don't think they've been in this situation before. Their first round this year was a five game series as was their three Eastern Conference matchups last year. Second round was a six gamer but no gamer. The Finals against Dallas, the Game Six, along with Game Six in this series, have been the only times they have faced elimination.

Boston, on the other hand, have been through a whole bunch of these over the last few years. What is this, the 8th seven game series they've played? Something crazy like that. Tried and trusted. Experienced.

So yeah, very interested to see how Miami star-studded lineup handles this. Whether they'll be able to handle the moment. Will they split and try and do it on their own? Stick together and fight as a team? Be composed on the ball or rushed and panicked? Will it be all about scoring or will they maintain their defense and rebounding?

I think Miami are the team that really have all the questions to answer heading into tonight's game. Seems a lot more relaxed and confident for the Celtics.

I like listing to Magic Johnson. He is so excited. Genuinely so. You can tell he just loves this moment. Both his memories as a player and to see these new players get to experience that moment.

Analysis isn't always so good but always fun to listen him talk about past experiences. Good story-teller.

A lot of emotions and thoughts right now.  Recovery from a loss tonight will be tough but nowhere near as tough as 2010.  But it will be an awful day tomorrow if tonight doesn't go right. 

It's ecstacy or sadness tonight.

I think getting to the Finals would be a monstrous accomplishment for this team.  Not that anyone will be complacent if they get there, but it would be phenomenal just to get there.

I will say no matter what happens I am truly proud of this team. They've gone through so many obstacles and have defeated the odds against them. I mean besides Celtics fans who really thought they would be playing a game 7 against the Heat.
Winning tonight and going to the finals would be great for them this season after all they've been through.

I'm as nervous as I've ever been.  Watching Paul Pierce warm up is probably the only thing that eases the tension a little bit.  Everyone is focused and locked in but PP carries that swagger with  him at all times.  We are lucky to have our captain!

I think the Celtics have started this game much better than Miami.

The Heat haven't looked good. A few good individual plays at times but not that cohesive a unit.

I watched games 1,2 and 6 in full.

Looked like a clean block.  I actually thought Lebron looked like he was reaching a hand to help Rondo. 

Pierce getting great separation again -- and missing.  He needs to find the range.

I like KG with the rest with 4 left -- strting the 2nd after a good rest.

Rebounding our worse enemy  >:(
That's what also killed them in the game 7 I want to forget about.
This offseason danny and doc need to go after bigs who rebound.

I hope LeBron tears his acl.. Yup I said it.
I'm not a fan of LeBron but that's not cool at all. I would hate to see someone injured and I know his true fans would be hurt (like I was with KG).

Good responses to Heat runs so far.  The longer we keep this up the more pressure there'll be on them.

Bass needs to take the gloves off though.  Can't keep sneaking it in.

Nah, see, Wade is no longer an elite player, but they want him to be, so every time he goes to the rim (the only elite skill he has) he can't get shut down or he'll have nothing else to fall back on. Its FTs or a layup, every time.

The ref bias was to be expected, luckily it isn't as bad as expected YET. Loving all the forced turnovers that everyone on the Celtics has been forcing without compromising on defense to force them.
agreed -- the turnovers the C's are forcing have been absolutely huge.  If Miami gets further behind, watch the refs start calling fouls on those

Scott Foster has 2 more quarters to give the Heat the edge, we need to get a lead big enough to over come these horrific refs

I gotta say, we are really playing against both the heat and the refs in tonight's game. It's so obvious that it's sad. It really is.

We looked great. A few mistakes I think we could really do without, but we are just getting some pretty bad calls against us. Ray hit his third 3 in the first quarter, and it's waved off on a phantom offensive foul? Now I can maybe see calling KG for his second foul, but that third one was a total joke.

However, I won't get mad about that third one because it was a blessing in disguise. Bass went off, and really played some fantastic basketball. Ray is really showing every aspect of his game tonight. Great defense, his three is falling, he's sneakily catching guys off the dribble. He's making some solid passes. Rondo is also playing smart and keeping the turnovers down.

At least we weathered a storm somewhat, and got off to a good start. I wish we hadn't given the Heat the ball back off of that Pietrus offensive rebound, but it could be worse, I suppose. Celtics are really playing hard tonight, and it shows.

That dunk on Wade from Bass is absolutely a foul, and Bass didn't get the call.

I still cannot believe no technical foul for LeBron hanging and doing pullups on the rim.

At what point do we just accept reality? Lebron is going to be protected. Period.

Reality is unacceptable then.  :P

He also threw a kick at Rondo while he was hanging on the rim. Rondo has to be careful, they are trying to draw another tech on him.

KG needs to stay foul free the whole 3rd quarter. hollins needs to keep stepping up and get rebounds and play defense.  

Earning them or not, no way the refs let KG go long without another foul.

Boston needs a huge run to start the 3rd as a buffer and get the lead back to double digits preferable high double digits.....because miami will make a run...you just know it.

I am sorry, I don't care how they have been calling it.  LJ hanging on the rim for 4-5 seconds and kicking his legs out at rondo is a *amn T.  

We just have to accept that we aren't going to get ANY calls tonight, play through it and be better than the heat and the refs.

It truly is. I have begun pre-production on a documentary about the NBA and the obvious problems (either incompetence, corruption, or both). Gonna cost me a bit to do it right, but I think it is worth it. This is not just an anti-Celtics league, it is a pro-superstar league and it is ruining the sport.

+7.  I'll take it.

If KG can get through his first streetch of the 3rd without fouling, the 3 1st half fouls may be a blessing in disquise.  Only 13 minutes of KG's tread used up.

Good call.  KG will be fresher than he would've been, and we actually gained a little ground with him out.  Win-win.

I agree that Miami will try to draw Rajon into another T.  frankly, I am a little worried about that.  Why not get Cole in there to get right in Rondo's face, agitate him?  I don't think Rondo will bite, but I'd sure try if I were the Heat. 

Could be a half for the ages upcoming.

We need to be ready for the heat run sometime in the 3rd.  You know it is coming.  We need to respond strong like we did in the 1st half.  We can hold them off.  Gotta play smart.

Get it to the fourth with any kind of lead, and that is all we can ask for.  Then let our experience and team play and effort be our edge.

Don't let up C's!

Heat only have 19 to our 13 this quarter, and there is over 3 minutes left in the quarter. We can recover from this. We just need to get stops and score the ball. We can't afford to waste too many of our offensive possessions. It would also be nice if we hit a few threes, too.

Also I find it amazing how Ray can get a tech for something liek walking away yet Wade and Bron Bron can yell and whine all they want but will not receive a tech.

Let's go, let's go, let's go! I'm honestly just thinking about Battier's 3 point shots so far. Man, those have killed us, as did our silly turnovers in the 3rd. But we did come out of that quarter far better than we might have otherwise. You can't ask for better. Let's go.

All I'm saying is, LeBron hung from the rim blatantly... that's a technical foul.
Complaining to the refs has drawn techs all series, that's a technical foul.
LeBron should have been tossed from this game. All I can say about the officiating anymore.

Well, this season sure was a hell of a ride. Shame to go out to a bunch of front running ponces like this Heat team.

I keep telling myself that we did real well to make it this far, but watching us go out to these punks still hurts like hell.

Domm and gloom mongers, the floor is yours.....come and tell us how everything sucks..

It was a good season guys... Sad to say that we can beat the Heat when the officials call a fair game, otherwise... our seasons end short. I love this team with a passion and it sickens me that we lose because the league loves their superstars.

All I can say is that I hope Durant and the Thunder absolutely destroy the Heat.

I agree with most of this.  I can't blame the refs tonight, though.  The Heat just made some ridiculous shots, and I really fault Doc for leaving Bass on Lebron.

It has been a pleasure again watching this team all year and hanging out with all of you CBers. This game was decided before it began, whatever Boston brought tonight. It sucks, but that's the NBA. I love this team and even in this loss, Boston has more class, more heart and more pride than the Heat could ever think of having.

This loss was inevitable sadly. Boston had to play absolutely perfect basketball for the majority of the game to overcome the officiating. The blatant disregard for the rules as they apply to Lebron is disgusting and makes it almost impossible to beat them.

Heat "fans" can have their day. Whatever. Even they know this series was most often a crock. And yes, I am also saying Boston got some help in game 4. It doesn't matter to me who is getting the help - the fact help is given is just flat out wrong and has ruined this sport.

I am not South Beach. I am a Celtic.

Welp, good run.  It's over.

Tied going into the 4th, had our chance.  Just a better quarter for the Heat, unfortunate it had to be THE quarter.

Every looseball, call, bounce, whatever went Miami's way.


This really was 2010 all over again.  Up 3-2, come out with a crap game 6, control 75% of game 7 only to lose it in the end

What else can I say, but the Heat are just outplaying us right now. They are earning this one bigtime. Looks like this is it for us, but you can't expect to win a game 7 on another team's homefloor by going so cold in the 4th, and making so many mistakes.

I'm proud of the guys. I truly am, but winning this one seems like a miracle at this point. It really does.

that's the killer.

inspiring year but this team refuses to learn from it's past mistakes so it's bound to repeat them.  2010 all over again.

Chance to put the series away in game 6 and lay an egg.  Game 7 fail to close out against a team that fought harder and had the benefit of biased officiating.  Not that I'm laying this loss on the officials but there's no way Heat played absolutely clean D this half or quarter.  C's should have been at the line several times but that wouldn't make up for the Heat just outplaying them.

anyone know how many second-chance points the C's coughed up in this game?

If I cared about any other team, which I don't, I'd be curious to see if the officiating is even in the finals with Westbrook/Harden/Durant all worthy of the same calls Bron/Wade get.

I swear this whole thing was rigged.

How does a veteran team with so much talent not even show up AT HOME in game 6?

And in game 7, the officiating majorly one-sided, combined with the fact that the Celtics showed absolutely NO FIGHT after they went down 5 with four minutes left.

Congrats Refs and the Hype...

We lost this 2nd half. They Refs brought the CHeat here and they've finished the job.

You know it shouldn't have come to this point, but sadly that's how this season will end.

Go Celtics!!!

This game does not even take place if Game 2 is called correctly. I am so mad at the refs. I can accept losing when things are called fairly on both ends in all games. Did not happen in game 2!

Agreed, you can't blame the refs for this specific game.  But you really gotta wonder if this game is even being played because of game 2

This is hardly fair. Heat played well but not that well

I swear this whole thing was rigged.

How does a veteran team with so much talent not even show up AT HOME in game 6?

And in game 7, the officiating majorly one-sided, combined with the fact that the Celtics showed absolutely NO FIGHT after they went down 5 with four minutes left.


You are suggesting the Celtics tanked on purpose in game 6?

Great great playoff run by the C's. Too bad we just couldn't hang around with the Heat tonight. I hate Miami but i have to admit that they really played better today. Nothing to be ashamed of guys. It's hard to accept defeat at the hands of the Heat but still, we can't take away the effort and the heart that this Celtics team had throughout the playoffs. Celtic Pride lives on even after this defeat. LET"S GO CELTICS!

I can definitely give blame to the refs for this game. They made [dang]ed sure Boston had to play absolutely perfect, lights-out basketball to win this. Meanwhile, the Heat could foul, travel and scream at the refs all night without incident. A game 7 and Miami as a team has no fouls called on them until the game is clearly over?

my fingers will fall off for typing this but the Heat outplayed the C's the last 2 games.  sad to see.  so much like 2010 again.

infuriating that this team was so horrid in game 6 when they should have played their butts off to end it.

Bosh was huge for them and so was their bench.  pity we didn't get much from ours.

Danny's task for next season---get healthier players for next year.  no more having to rely on guys who are end-of-bench types to play big minutes.

Brutal, brutal loss in this series, but so much further than they could have been expected to go.

The fact that we were playing with cast-offs and spare parts like Marquis and Stiemsma and Hollins, and how Allen and Pierce and even guys like Pietrus had so many injuries and gave the Heat such a tough time...it really says a lot about the job Doc and every single guy on this roster did.

That 40 foot 3 that LeBron hit was a killer, as were all of Bosh's. Truthfully we probably could have got to the line a few times as well. But these Celtics exceeded my expectations this year, and they've been immensely fun to watch and root for.

I know this won't be a popular thing to say, but I am disappointed that KG and Rondo just take off for the locker room without shaking hands with the Heat.  I know we hate them, I know the refs were against us, I know that we probably didn't get a fair shake in game 2, but cmon guys, give props to the team that won.
Have some class, and do the right thing.  As far as I was concerned, walking away wasn't the right thing.

That said, I hate to see our team go down.  We have the most heart of any team I have ever seen.  I am PROUD to say I am a CELTIC Fan.
congrats heat.  Now come on Thunder, take em out.

Anyone who blames the ref ps tonight  is embarrassing themselves

Anyone who can't see reality should also be embarrassed. The Celtics needed to play better, there is no doubt. But with the refs engineering things, it forces the Celtics to play [dang]ed near perfect basketball. Meanwhile, the Heat do whatever they want. Travel, hang on the rim, mug our guys and know they can take any shot they want because more than likely they will get free throws.

You have to stop assuming when I or anyone else calls the refs out that we are saying it is ONLY because of the refs. THAT would be stupid to say. But if you believe this game was called fairly and the Celtics just lost on their own, then we will have to disagree. I did not see that. The fourth quarter was a joke when it came to the officiating.

Lebron had 0 fouls? Tell me, in all honesty, how? I can point to five fouls I saw alone. Take away any bias I may have influencing me and he had at least two. But, zero. The Heat as a team did not commit a foul until the game was already won. That is somehow believable?

The NBA is a crock. This is the last series I am watching. I stuck it out because of my love for these Celtics, but this is just not the league it used to be. The sport is ruined and the front office is not much more than a conglomeration of agents making sure their superstars stay in the limelight and get sneaker deals.

The NBA is the worst run league in professional sports and more and more people are now realizing that. When Laker fans are telling me Boston is getting jobbed, you know something is up. When Heat fans (3 of them tonight alone) tell me the same thing...it is obvious.

Love the Celtics. Absolutely love them. I wish they played in a league that let them win or lose on their own, that's all. That goes for every team in the league, including the Heat.

I couldn't care less about OKC or MyHammy. I'd love to see Perk getting a second ring, and Ibaka too. That's all.

I don't like any Heat player, I'd only would want Haslem or LeBrick (to backup the Captain) on the Celtics. But that's it.

I hate how things ended up, I hate Stern for ruining the NBA, and I only watch because of the Celtics.

I love the Celtics, and I love Celticsblog. We'll be back sooner than we can imagine right now. Rondo (this era's Cousy) will have his Big Mate (this era's Russell) and with the Big 3 back at limited money, and Jeff Green, Avery Bradley and some young guns, we'll be back at the top very soon.

Go Celtics!!!

I knew when we could not get a 5 or 6 point counter run there was no way we were staying close til the end again like game 5. sickening way to end this. i would rathyer lebron beat us at the buzzer.

He flops and whines like a little brat now and he plays dirty yet gets away with it. His attitude has changed to a jerk too.
He's not humble anymore and I've heard from people who know him say he has changed with his ego.
LeBron is at least a little likable but Wade gets on my nerves.

They'll probably make excuses for them like last season. They made the excuse like they needed another year to gel and it was an accomplishment to even make the Finals.
I told them that Boston Big 3 came together and in 1 year won it all. No excuses for not winning it all when they were hyped up to win the first year.
If they don't take it all this season I don't wanna hear jack from Miami fans and bandwagon riders.

I know you're emotional right now so I'm not going to take that personally,

Boston went much further than anyone really should have expected them to go.  Had Rose avoided injury, we probably wouldn't have made it out of the 2nd round.  Fact is, we pushed a great team to 7 games... and the key to that great team is the greatest basketball player currently alive.  LeBron brought it every night like no other player in this league can bring it.  For the series he averaged 33.6 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists ... He earned this victory.  He should have earned your respect.  And he's been busting his ass in this league for 9 brilliant seasons... he's paid his dues... it's time for him to win a championship and I'll be rooting for him to get it.   Enough of the petty hate... nobody is perfect... but on a basketball court, LeBron James comes as close as one can get to perfection and I appreciate the heck out of that.

This was never Boston's year.  I love my team.  I love the effort they gave.  Yesterday I said this:

Quote
We'll more than likely go down fighting in Game 7.  Probably lose by 8-15 points, but you'll get the sense that everyone on the team gave it their all... they just fell short.  And I'm ok with that.  The Oklahoma City Thunder are a different breed of team and I want no part in playing them.  Let the Miami Heat deal with them.  We'll have our graceful exit Saturday and nobody should hold it against Boston's overachievers for the loss... they will just commend them for pushing a better team further than they should have.

They gave me exactly what I hoped... a graceful exit... an 12 point loss and a sense that everyone gave it their all and just fell short.  I commend them for that.  I'm extremely happy with how these playoffs went considering the disaster our regular season was looking like early.

Maybe it was just too much for KG and Rondo at that moment, or whatever.  To me, sports and competition are about more than winning.  Regardless of how much we all hate D Wade (me included) and LJ and the heat, I think I would have respected KG and Rondo more by sticking with the rest of their team and coach, give a quick good game, and then take off.

Post by: Rondo_is_better on June 10, 2012, 12:27:29 AM
Well, what more could we expect? Five on eight all through game seven. With a 25 to 15 free throw disparity and Lebron shooting 17 himself, two more than all the Celtics combined, Boston struggled to pull away in the first half and couldn’t put together an effective response in the second half, due in part to the blatant fouls on Celtic drives being roundly ignored. Miami was not called for a single foul in the fourth quarter until 1:48 left in the game, by which point the outcome had been essentially decided. Really, it wasn’t what the refs called tonight; it was what they didn’t call.

The travels and whining were also in rare form tonight, as both Wade and James demonstratively complained to the referees on multiple occasions. Two particular instances stand out in my mind—Lebron claiming Pierce pushed him and screaming at the ref, then making dismissive and derisive hand gestures as he trotted up the floor, and Wade, after Hollins blocked his layup, throwing an absolute fit and doing the “get outta here!” thrashing motion across his body multiple times, all with the expression of a man passing a kidney stone the size of an eight ball. Funny how those demonstrations “show up the refs” yet don’t warrant a technical, nor does Lebron hanging on the rim for a full 5 seconds after an alley-oops, kicking at Rondo’s head, and doing a chin up count as “hanging on the rim in celebration,” despite it being, y’know, something explicitly outlined in the rulebook as a technical.
As far as game play went, Lebron got into the lane effectively with his patented first step--that is to say, taking a first step and then dribbling the ball--all night, and it yielded him some easy dunks and 17 free throws, which was, again, more than the Celtics team, despite the men in green’s repeated efforts to attack the basket—Paul Pierce in particular, but also Brandon Bass in the first half. Wade looked athletic yet toothless, per usual, and will be soundly outplayed by James Harden in the finals.

Neither Lebron nor Wade had a particularly good showing offensively, both shooting poor percentages from the field. The difference was Chris Bosh going 8-10 and scoring 19 points, while also pilling off an unbelievable three-for-four performance from three. I guess he had ample time to practice and add a new shot to his repertoire while he was out with his ab injury. Battier shot 9 threes and hit 4 of them, which was good for 12 points and kept them in the game in the first half. That and Lebron parading to the line. It’s worth slipping in here than Shane Battier plays basketball like a WASP spitting on poor people. He couldn’t look more smarmy or pleased with himself. Forget a crap-eating grin, you can actually see the duke (pun) between his teeth when he flashes that gap-toothed smile.

Defensively, the Heat showed aggressively on Rondo in the pick and roll, and it worked well. They showed and then sagged, but not so much that they couldn’t get in a light contest against his jumper. Rondo needs time to gather himself and get in rhythm in order to drain a jumper, and while he has become proficient at draining wide open shots, he needs too much time to release the ball and does not get enough elevation to deal with even a moderate contest from a bigger, athletic player like Haslem, Wade, or Lebron.  This really threw Rondo out of whack in the second half, leaving him in dreaded “stand there and direct traffic mode,” either with the ball tucked under his arm or dancing around nervously with his dribble. It was maddening to watch. Ray and Pierce’s lack of mobility became particularly apparent in these half-court situations, as they could not come off screens or v-cut effectively to get open, nor did they have any of their explosiveness to punish defenders with when they did make the catch with a man in their jock. There is no obvious answer for this other than Rondo driving aggressively in the paint and kicking to open shooters for uncontested looks, or Rondo taking the ball off the rebound and exploding into transition, something he never did tonight. Our fast break and semi-transition game was abysmal and nearly non-existent, and it put our offense into shambles in the second half.

To be clear with this X’s and O’s stuff – I do not think Doc got out-coached by Spoelstra. I think Spoelstra finally pulled his head out of his butt the last two games and made some simple adjustments that we simply did not have the personnel to counter. If Spoelstra was a good coach he would’ve figured out that he had a healthier, more athletic team and that Boston had severe offensive deficiencies, both as a product of their poor health, and their players’ weaknesses, after game three or four--not just in time to bring the Heat back from the brink of destruction in games six and seven. He nearly lost his job by messing around and being a dimwit and should not be commended for implementing a strategy that made the Heat two-thirds as good as they should be instead of worse than Philadelphia. I have more to say about the nitty-gritty of this game, but my brain is spinning and I don’t have the mental fortitude to delve back into this game any further. It hurts too much. In summation…

The referees certainly did not help tonight, and Miami got the home cooking tonight that Boston deserved in game 6, but ultimately the Celtics were an over-achieving team running on the fumes of fumes and several bad wheels. Chris Bosh’s stomach hurt, and aside from that, Miami was as energetic and bouncy as my cats when they get into the chocolate covered coffee beans. Hats off to this Celtics team, I hope Miami gets freaking destroyed by the Thunder, because they are Hollywood as hell. Peace out.

I feel bad for you guys because I know how many of you irrationally hate lebron James.  I sympathize with you guys but I'm genuinely rooting for the heat in the finals.  For Seattle and because I truly appreciate lebrons ability ... Boston gave it their all.  Proud of my boys but this was inevitable

How about his ability to travel, argue with refs, commit fouls, ram the lane like a bull in heat and getting away with it? It's not irrational. You on the other hand, lack perception and knowledge of basketball.
I know you're emotional right now so I'm not going to take that personally,

Boston went much further than anyone really should have expected them to go.  Had Rose avoided injury, we probably wouldn't have made it out of the 2nd round.  Fact is, we pushed a great team to 7 games... and the key to that great team is the greatest basketball player currently alive.  LeBron brought it every night like no other player in this league can bring it.  For the series he averaged 33.6 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists ... He earned this victory.  He should have earned your respect.  And he's been busting his ass in this league for 9 brilliant seasons... he's paid his dues... it's time for him to win a championship and I'll be rooting for him to get it.   Enough of the petty hate... nobody is perfect... but on a basketball court, LeBron James comes as close as one can get to perfection and I appreciate the heck out of that.

This was never Boston's year.  I love my team.  I love the effort they gave.  Yesterday I said this:

Quote
We'll more than likely go down fighting in Game 7.  Probably lose by 8-15 points, but you'll get the sense that everyone on the team gave it their all... they just fell short.  And I'm ok with that.  The Oklahoma City Thunder are a different breed of team and I want no part in playing them.  Let the Miami Heat deal with them.  We'll have our graceful exit Saturday and nobody should hold it against Boston's overachievers for the loss... they will just commend them for pushing a better team further than they should have.

They gave me exactly what I hoped... a graceful exit... an 12 point loss and a sense that everyone gave it their all and just fell short.  I commend them for that.  I'm extremely happy with how these playoffs went considering the disaster our regular season was looking like early.




I get it now, and thank you for providing a good laugh at such a depressing time. If you can say with a straight face that he would put up those numbers if he was remotely treated the same way as everyone else, then you have no clue about the game.

yes angryguy... LeBron would put up those numbers more-or-less.  The refs don't turn a person into a 6'9 250 pound highly skilled athletic supernova will otherworldly basketball ability.   The refs didn't make LeBron James shoot 19-26 in Game 6.  You can nitpick anything and anyone... Bron just has a spotlight.  Maybe there are a few bad calls here or there, but the I personally believe this idea that the NBA is fixed and LeBron gets away with murder is mostly nonsense.  He's a great player.  At this point with all of these poor sport crybabies nitpicking every aspect of his game... it's almost fair to say he's UNDERRATED now (if that's even possible for a 3 time MVP in the prime of his career)

Nobody is saying he isn't a talented player, but to say that he doesn't benefit from super treatment is laughable. I know this may deconstruct your view of yourself, but you are just as biased as those who you claim have an irrational hate for lebron.

My problem with that logic is that it hinges on the improbable idea that the NBA favors LeBron, looks after him, coddles him and gives him the benefit of the doubt because they have some kind of vested interest in seeing him succeed.   And if you're willing to make that crazy conspiracy theory leap... you almost must accept that our 2008 title is tarnished.  Where does it end, angryguy?  Where does Stern's evil influence start and end?  Did he not give star treatment to Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen?... three franchise players... one an MVP.  In 2008, Kevin Garnett was as much a face of the NBA as LeBron.  Was he getting the benefit of the doubt too?  This idea that Stern only fixes it for "other" teams and not the Boston Celtics is kind of stupid, if you ask me.  It's a slippery slope.  If it's fixed, it's fixed... and Stern forced Memphis to trade Pau to LA, forced Minny to trade KG to Boston... and used his minion refs to assure a Celtics/Lakers final with a Boston victory, because it was "in the best interest of the league". 

It's nonsense.  LeBron's a beast.  There's no fix.  We lost.  Our 2008 title was legit.

Where did I say anything was fixed? Saying that lebron doesn't get crazy calls in his favor is just as crazy as a conspiracy. Are you really saying star treatment doesn't exist or help certain players? I suppose the government has never lied to use either.

Anyone who has eyes and looks at the game and the box score and still blindingly claim Lebron does not get superstar calls. wow. There is no use arguing with someone who is this blind to the obvious.

No doubt the refs favour star players, that stern's gimmick, once you start making calls based on the name on the back of the jersey, and not the actual game, you have already arrived into a form of match fixing

Look at the olympics, with a team full of all stars the USA struggles to win, whilst the other countries are mainly composed of nba role players or even euro guys, without the star calls suddenly the gap between wade and a guy like navarro isn't that great. If the nba is to be believed USA should have won the medal game by 50+

I love Rajon's answer (and especially his body language) when asked if he thought they overachieved to get to a Game 7 vs. Miami. What a stupid question. Sure, their run probably surprised most of us but we always knew they had heart. And if your heart is in it, you can make it quite far. It's the very epitome of what being a Celtic is about. Be proud, go out guns blazing. These C's did just that. Somewhere in the heavens, Red is smiling and he's lighting one up in tribute.

I love Doc. He always nails it.
