Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
And not for nothing, Rondo stepped up, was steady everywhere on the court and gave some good scoring support.
We need to continue with the good defense and outrebound and steal the ball when ever possible.
The scoring will happen.

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
Cassel doesnt want league to protect LBJ:
Quote:
The Boston Globe -
Celtics guard Sam Cassell doesn't understand why the NBA is protecting Cleveland's LeBron James with favorable foul calls, according to The Boston Globe.
Cassell was called for a flagrant-1 foul during Game One on Tuesday after fouling James from behind during a layup attempt.
"Wow. It's just different right now," said Cassell Wednesday. "They gave me a flagrant-1 foul, and no way in the world was it a flagrant-1 foul. I'm going to call [NBA vice president] Stu [ Jackson] and see what he thinks about that. That's not a flagrant-1 foul at all. Back in the day, a flagrant-1 was bloodshed. Now, you can just grab somebody...It's the new NBA."
Cassell claims that James receives even more favorable attention than Michael Jordan did during his heyday.
"I know Jordan is sitting at home right now pouting because they didn't protect him. There wasn't no bigger star than him, and he took some banging. But he got through it. That's why he got considered the best player to pick up a basketball," Cassell added.

I'm hoping we can steal 2 in Cleveland and end the series quickly. They need to show they can win on the road. Sure, they could win a championship without winning a road game, but I don't think they will (not win a road game I mean).

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
I think Cleveland will come out firing in game 3 and get a lead we wont chase down, lebron will be focussed, plus the crowd etc.
i see us stealing game 4 though, then coming home to finish in 5.. which would be a great result

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
Is it "stealing" a win if we are the better team?

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
After what happened in Atlanta, maybe so.
But we are the better team.

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
We gotta win at least 1 on the road. We gotta be able to win wherever we play, thats it.

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
Yeah, im comfortable that we can hold home court, but it'd be nice to take care of last years finalists quickly

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
So i dunno what the hell happens to our defense when we play on the road... but we put ourselves out of the game within a quarter, really need to take game 4 or Cleveland will come to Boston confident

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
I'm upset about a loss, but a Cavs win in Game 3 was expected. Their season was at stake there and they dug deep and played out of their minds. I'm mostly pissed because we didn't even put up a fight. Game 4 is a must win. I don't care if it'd still be 2-2. We gotta prove to ourselves that we can win on the road.

Re: Second Round: Boston vs Cleveland
I think it may even be a must win on the series.. thwe last thing we need is the Cavs getting hot and having 2 chances to steal one in Boston... Game 4 is a must.
And can we please see the BIG 3 all play like they had been their entire careers...

Well, if history is any indication, West and Sczerbiak won't continue to have big games. There's really only two people you expect to play well pretty consistently - James and Ilgauskas. James has not, but he could bust out at any moment. Boston just needs to play like they know how, and they'll be fine. Pierce, Allen, and the bench have been inconsistent the whole playoffs, and that needs to change. Garnett is the only one who's been pretty solid throughout. Rondo has been pretty good, too. Cassell really needs to improve on the road. You figure with all the experience he has that there wouldn't be such a huge discrepancy, but he plays so much better at home.
