All it takes is a better game from KG, Pierce to shoot better than 33%, Ray Allen not to miss 2 FTs in a row, or Drew Gooden not make 9 shots in a row for the Celtics to have won that last game. The Cavs were playing well, and the Celtics were playing poorly outside of Ray, and the Celtics still almost won in regulation.

The Celts very well might have taken the game seriously, but the Cavs haven't taken a single preseason game seriously in two years. Sometimes I actually wish they'd put a little more of a serious effort (particularly defensively) in the preseason but they just don't.
