I would have liked Perk....but hopefully Powe can do the job tonight and hopefully not find his way into foul trouble.

Please don't give these Lakers any hope. My heart is beating like crazy.

Will we have to endure the typical 1st quarter lopsided free throw shooting and foul calls?

I'm guessing yes

Sadly me too.

scalabrene is dressed!!!!!!!

Sadly me too.

I think we should drive it to the hoop every chance we get. MAKE THOSE soft-***es play defense. With any luck if our aggressiveness leads to their guys in foul trouble...it's #17, Baby!!

Awesome. It'd be ridiculous to have Pollard/Perkins/Scalabrine all in suits at the end of the bench.

I already have a bad feeling about this game......but I won't count anyone out.

they just need to keep it close 1st quarter and let the lakers drive out their emotion. not gonna get calls in the 1st q.

Wow, a lot of ghost fouls already, doesn't speak volumes for the evenhandedness of the officiating, but at least we came out with better energy than game 4. Let's hope they can put together a few good defensive series.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

here's the typical 1st quarter craziness. garnett taking some strange shots

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

odom needs to e called for a T on that

 

[Kdo5]

What I can say is we're doing good rebounding.

 

[PittPatriot]

Why does Rondo always do that?
A little TOO unselfish...

 

[Kdo5]

Just wonderful shooting on our part..........

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

i hate garnett taking that shot inside the 3 pt arc. gasol over the back?

 

[Zeke_Mowatt]

Why does Rondo always do that?
A little TOO unselfish...

I think getting swatted with great regularity in the Cleveland series made him a little gun shy. He was at least trying to get shots off until Z swatted him like 10 times in a row. Wish he'd get a little more aggressive though

Yikes its off to a Game 4 start all over again. I think I will stop posting its good luck when I just watch alone.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

call the timeout. the celts are not going to get many calls driving to the basket in the first quarter and lakers will thus it will be hard establishing defense early on

Powe needs to place in elbow in Gasol's throat. Gasol will never get called for Over the Back in the Forum.
The Celtics are sleep walking right now. Wake up guys...
