I can understand..

[NicaraguanFan]

why people is so frustrated, angry and dissapointed (I felt the same way last night) but IMHO at this time we need to support the team and show players we believe they can do it...

We are gonna have plenty of time to discuss our mistakes during summer...

Go C's

[tanner]

there's nothing wrong with getting frustrated at the players, refs, doc, etc. there's also nothing inappropriate in discussing it.

but on game 7 tomorrow, we must all be at our loudest (whether in the Garden or watching at home) in showing support for this team.

[ma11l]

Good post.  If tomorrow's crowd isn't the loudest or craziest of the season because everyone is disappointed and frustrated that would be a disgrace.  This series has shown how much this team needs its fans and its homecourt advantage that they worked so hard for all year.

[wdleehi]

I don't think we have to worry about the Celtics not getting home court energy from the Boston crowd. 


We may be angry, but we haven't abandoned the Celtics.

I've been a suporter for over 30yrs and won't quit...ever.

That being said, I am very dissapointed that we can't win a game on the road against a 37wins team.  That to me is unaccpetable.  Don't know about most fans, but when we traded AJefferson, I wasn't expecting a possible first/second round exit.  Its just going to get tougher and teams will exploit our weakness(i.e. and the lack of a slasher off the bench is a big one, because in the playoffs, when the game slows down, you have to get to the line...and that ain't happening shooting 3s)

I agree with you here on most of what you saying...also been a fan for over 30yrs.,and plan to be one whether the outcome is not good tomorrow,but i agree,i expected us to at least get to the Eastern Conf.finals,if not further.tp for you

And we can still get there. Atlanta has alot of talent and Cavs have--only Lebron really.

And a far superior post scorer in Big Z who kills Perkins every matchup. And a far superior team defense, superior interior defense, superior perimeter defense. And a far superior rebounding team, one of the league's best. And they have far more shooters (Gibson, West, Wally), unlike Atlanta who have one.

Cleveland are a much better team

Say what you want but I just am not particularly scared or more afraid of the Cavs. I think the Hawks with their young athletic team are the type of team that gives the Celtics more fits then any other type of team.

Atlanta are the perfect team for Boston, it's an easy matchup. The Celtics are just playing badly. It has nothing to do with Atlanta.

[blueygreen]

I think against Cleveland we have some very favourable matchups. The one to note will be Wally/Allen, I think that could really be a contributing factor. KG should be able to do some serious damage to the new and not quite improved Big Ben. I expect Delonte to be playing with a chip on his shoulder. Pierce has done a nice job on Lebron in the past and I expect can do so again, especially with help defence, etc. Big Z could be a problem, as Perkins loves to leave his man and patrol the paint, or blitz on the pick and roll, etc. This will be a problem as Big Z has a nice mid-range game and I predict a lot of pick&pops. Overall, I think we have them though. Lebron will be playing 48 minutes a game, and bench wise they don't have much.

[wdleehi]

Cleveland is a better shooting team

Cleveland is a better defensive team

Cleveland is better rebounding team

Cleveland is a deeper team

Cleveland went to the finals last year

Cleveland has beaten Boston in Boston this year

Cleveland has Lebron James.




Atlanta is staying in the series by getting to the foul line. 

Is there anyone better at getting to the line in the playoffs the Lebron?



Cleveland is clearly the more dangerous team.  Atlanta is the team the Celtics blew out every game until they decided they couldn't mentally be there for road playoff games. 


Celtics need to right the ship.
