Winning a game at Cleveland?

Please.. even Santa and Big Foot wouldn't believe that and call that fake..

Everything is in Boston's hands.

They went down 0-2 at home against Chicago, and suddenly somebody played a recording of KG talking about junkyard dogs, and apparently that flipped a switch and the guys started playing like they want to win again.

Then they got embarrassed in 2 or 3 games against Washington, but suddenly found some fight again.

I've said it once and I'll say it again - Boston can beat this team.  It doesn't look like it when you're getting blown out by 30 and 50 points, but they can.

But if they play the way they have in this series, then they can't beat them. Not only can they not beat them if they play this way, but they will get embarrassed by them if they play this way. 

So the ball is in Boston's court (ironically, since we're not going to Cleveland).  They can earn back some semblance of respect, or they can give up and be the laughing stock of the NBA (and every free agent who otherwise may have come here).

And please - nobody mention that "this is Clevleand".  Because Clevleand played Indiana and Toronto before this, and eiother of those teams got blown out by a combined 70 points in two games.  That's a special Celtics trait that we've flashed in every series so far.

This team has a problem- they are too soft.  They are too nice.  They are too well behaved.  That's what happens when you have a GM and coach who go out of their way to make sure their top priority for all player acquisitions is "coach friendly nice guy".  You end up with a team full of soft players who don't have balls (Smart and Bradley are excused from that label). 

And it doesn't help when your coach happens to be the nicest, softest, most polite and emotionless coach in all of basketball.

Big Foot resents that remark .....he is a very good friend of mine.

Anybody else remember this quote?

"We played like a bunch of sissies," he said afterward. "I know the heart and soul of this team, and today the heart wasn't there, that's for sure. I can't believe a team like this would let L.A. come out and push us around like they did. Today I didn't feel we played hard. We got beat bad, and it's very embarrassing."

It is hardly the same situation, but I really hate watching Lebron beat us down. It sure would be nice to have a Bird-caliber (and attitude) player right now.

I hope PP34 and KG can light a fire in this team again somehow.

They just look lost..

I believe...the Celts have already checked out mentally on this season.

[SparzWizard]

Yah uhm rondo isn't getting injured this time around.

[Rakulp]

As I said when the series was in Chicago...my team is on the floor.

...well, after tonight, maybe UNDER the floor is more accurate!

Yeah I think they set the goal at making the ECF. They used everything they had getting there. Maybe they can scrape some pride together and steal game 3 or 4 but their season ended game 7.

I had a soccer team do the same thing way back in high school we set our goal to win a tournament that would send us to another tournament. The tournament had like 100 teams and tons of rounds and culminated in a weekend with a ton of games. We won the tournament and qualified for the next tourney but we just got annihilated in every game. We didn't really have the talent to win, but we couldn't have bested anyone the way we played. We had checked out. We were happy just to be there.

See the same thing in these Celtics. Isaiah specifically. He just can't go back to the well anymore.

You are kinda right, but this isn't Washington or Chicago.

When we showed up against those teams it meant a 20+ point blowout. We show up against Cleveland we still need things to bounce our way before we can even squeak out a win.
