All I gotta say is its clear the Celtics were never true champs (true champs must defend the title). Look how much trouble they're having with the 8th seed. They are who I thought they were.

I'm not usually one to get defensive over something as stupid as sports, but how can you say that with a straight face? They were the best team last year, they beat everybody including Kobe and the Lakers with great teamwork and defense. This year they are missing their best player (both offensively and defensively) and and another good big man. Now all they really have for size are Big Baby and Perkins...once one of them gets into foul trouble the whole team suffers.

I agree with you that a true champion team should be able to defend the title, but this is not the same team as last year. Also...it's not over yet

They won the whole damn game last year after going to game 7 with the Hawks. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN?!?!?

It was a bit of hyperbole of course, but the main point still stands. In order to be a true champ you MUST defend your title, otherwise you're just another one hit wonder.

Now granted, they'd certainly be better with their full roster but at the end of the day, they'd still get crushed by King James now that he finally has some decent players around him.

I really hope KG returns before they play the Cavs.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #31 on:** April 29, 2009, 01:55:18 PM »

Can't really say more than that I would have LOVED to see a full Celtics roster take on the Cavs in the playoffs...whether the Celts would have have won or lost, it would have been an awesome series.

Well the Nuggets beat the Hornets.The Nuggets will face the Mavs on Sunday.

Should be a nice series.

No doubt. It'll probably be the most interesting 2nd round match up as both teams are pretty physical with a solid bench.

Both teams won their series in the same amount of time.So both teams should be nicely rested and pretty even.

The other game that was last night was the Heat and Hawks. Hawks won that game. Hawks are up 3 games to 2.

Nuggets all the way baby.........well until they face the Celtics.

Nuggets use to be my team because of AI, but I still root for them because I like there name alot. Detroit Sucks though. I"m still kinda pissed he moved up there. He should have traded to the Celtics.

Well it was a bit more than that...it was an a layup air ball, followed by a missed free throw, followed by a complete misunderstanding of the rules (seriously you NEED TO HIT THE RIM), all combined with Pierce shooting perfectly at the end.

Dude should have just stayed down so the coach could have put in someone who knows how to shoot a free throw. Seriously, he got smacked in the face--no one would have blamed him if he bowed out.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #37 on:** April 30, 2009, 11:42:34 PM »

Wow. This Celtics/Bulls series is incredible. So many missed opportunities by both teams bring it to three overtimes...I don't care that the Celtics lost, Ray Allen is legendary.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #38 on:** May 01, 2009, 02:08:57 AM »

The Magic won their series. The game wasn't close at all.

No worries.

I'd rather they win it at home anyway.

I'd rather they fail at home. There's nothing like seeing 50k+ in tears.

Glad to see the Celtics advance to the next round...but god, the refs had a terrible game. The screwed up calls both ways, but they seemed to give the Bulls every break possible. It was so frustrating to watch.

This year's playoffs is gonna be big. My favorite playoff thriller of them all is Bulls-Celtics, which Celtics won in a dramatic way without KG. As for me, Bulls are indeed deserved to be a tough contender and champion someday because even coach Del Negro only a rookie coach, but its definitely a "thumb's up" for him that he deliver his team to the playoffs after last year's absence.

Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon did a lot of stuff out there and deserved to be superstars. Noah, Salmons, Miller, Hinrich and Thomas also did the same thing without Deng. On the other hand, it was Pierce and Allen who are the heroes of the Celtics without KG, with Rondo, Davis, Perkins, House, Marbury and Scalabrine supporting each other, they are a fighting team, defending their crown and hopes to become champions again for the second streak in a row.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #44 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:22:05 PM »

Well the Orlando/Boston game is close. There is a 6 point lead for the magic.2:40 left in the 4th quarter. If the Magic mess this up than I don't have any respect to them.The Magic had a 28 point lead.

Stogi · « **Reply #45 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:26:18 PM »

Damn did you see that shot Ray put up? Soooooooooooo close.

8 second violation! WOOT!

EDIT: Damn....game over.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #46 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:37:51 PM »

Yeah that 8 second violation is happened a few times in the playoffs.I think the players need to read the rules again.
Final: Magic 95-Celtics 90

Stogi · « **Reply #47 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:40:03 PM »

I can't even be made. Dwight Howard is the man.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #48 on:** May 05, 2009, 12:00:43 AM »

Wow. Not exactly surprised with the result of the Celtic/Magic game but when they were 6 left with three minutes to go I thought they were going to win it. If Ray Allen had ANY sort of a game we could have won it. It gives me a little hope for the next games in the series but....not much.

Good to see Rondo get a little energy back. He's still making a ton of noob mistakes but he definitely has huge potential.

D_Average · « **Reply #49 on:** May 05, 2009, 01:17:25 AM »

I'm rootin for the Nugs now. Pssh! I see no issue in them beating LA, F the critics.
