Maybe John Hollinger wasn't so crazy after with his Heat in 5 pick...it's just so pathetic to watch.  Not even if the ultimate optimists on this thread can blame the masses for saying this championship run is officially over and it's now time to face the rebuilding music.

This team is just too old, too tired, and can't take this Miami team that is finally gelling and knows how to beat us.  They figured us out and we can't counter.  In hindsight, you can now say it was a terrible trade.  I understand Dannys side of it with knowing he wasn't going to be able to sign Perk back, and on paper, it was a good trade.  But Jeff Green and Krstic has just not worked out.  So you can't criticize danny for the idea of the trade, but you can criticize for breaking the team up in the first place when they were clicking on all cylinders.

Surprisingly, I'm still not throwing in the towel - we protect our homecourt and this is a series again.

Keys to Game 3

1. Change our defense: we MUST block out their rebounders (including Wade and Lebron). A high scholl team would do that better than the Celtics did in this game. Furthermore, KG needs to be more vocal.
2. Hard fouls: if Wade and Lebron want to fly over us, no problem, but we must make them pay!
3. NO KRISTIC PLEASE: I am 5-11 and pretty sure would defend better than him. We really NEED Shaq back.


Obviously finding a way to keep Ray going and Rondo making some shots would not hurt too...

doesnt matter what boston does. the heat are just better

Gonna be a long 3 days and perhaps an even longer summer.

They need the boost of Shaq at least in part. These first two games I have not seen them being dominated; I see them handing them far too much and making it difficult on themselves. Focus on that D and the rest will fall into place. Aint over til it's over. Hope they heal up.

Sucks that the one night our bench (aka Green/West) actually plays well, our starters go cold. 35% shooting is not gunna get it done.

Danny Ainge sucks...if someone wants to build a shrine for him and call him god..so be it but imo, he ruined this season.

Future top 10 PROTECTED pick be [dang]ed. Krstic is a goner after this year...probably Green too.

I'm worried about what Danny is going to try to do with this team this summer.  I have a feeling he's going to try to keep it together for another couple years, which is a terrible idea imo.  We need to start over and look to draft well.

At least it looks as though there's a good chance that we'll have two completely different teams in the Finals this year.  I'm rooting for anybody but Kobe or LeBron.  I'd love to see Dirk finally get a ring.

Do not agree it is over: if we put just a little more concentration (meaning blocking out the rebounds and making Lebron and Wade pay whenever they want to fly over us), we would be in good shape...

Summarizing: maybe it is about time for someone remind Larry's words: "we are playing like sissies"...

What makes me happy though, is that when our Big Three got together and won the title, people respected us. If the Heat win the title this year, everyone will still call them cowards, and they still will have no one's respect.

If they fail to do it again 08 will be looked at as a fluke...which is exactly what I don't want.  A team of this caliber should have been able to win multiple championships.

it won't be looked at as a fluke, we had 09 pretty much in our hands before KG went down. The year after that? Perkins. We had our great year when everyone was healthy, since then the Basketball gods have hated us.

Miami can win as many titles as they want, they're just a bunch of egomaniacs.
