Are those Coke cans covered up with Gatorade labels? :chuckles:

Capitalism FTW!
 
Does anybody still think this team can do something against Orlando ?

I was hoping Boston would get that 3rd seed and play the Magic in the 2nd round but it really looks like they have no chance at all, they'll be lucky to win 2 games in a series against Orlando.

Kendrick Perkins is the best in the NBA at guarding Howard. No question.

That is the only reason id give boston a shot to take it to 6 games.

Not really... Perkins' defense on Howard is overrated. Boston's overall defense is the biggest factor, because it usually leads to rushed shots by Dwight because of the shot clock.

Yao, although not in the league currently, is absolutely a Howard stopper.
 
So, I finally got to watch the end of the Easter day game (and let me just say, that fourth quarter just reinforces the fact that a focused Cavs team will wipe the floor with the Celts), and the talking between KG and LeBron was extremely entertaining.

At the :30 second mark, Garnett is saying some sort of incoherent gibberish to LeBron while shooting free throws. He does it in true Garnett fashion as well (not looking directly at who he's talking too).

Then, at the 5:30 mark, LeBron is shooting free throws and Garnett is talking to him. After the free throw, LeBron looks like he says, "No way. That's funny... You're just an asshole."


Here are the final 15 seconds of the game:

My favorite parts: The 3:40 mark where Delonte shows up and plays peacemaker. And the 5:10 mark. First you see LeBron, then Garnett at the line. I love this because LeBron looks like he's barely broken a sweat and could play for another 3 hours. Meanwhile, Garnett just looks absolutely exhausted at the line.

Finally, at the 7:10 mark, Garnett is so locked in on talking shit to LeBron that Rondo is literally screaming at him to get him to the right place on defense. Further proving that Kevin Garnett is a jackass.


Looking back at it, the Celtics are setting themselves up for the end of their run. First, the Pistons talked their way out of Eastern dominance by pissing off LeBron, and we all know what happens when you piss off LeBron. Now, the Celts have pissed off LeBron. The similarities are kind of scary when you think about it. You think Rasheed would know better having been a victim to it. I really, REALLY hope we get Boston in round 2... and if not, they somehow beat Orlando. Just give me Boston in the playoffs!

is boston officially the 4th seed now. Atlanta swept them and the best they can do is tie, but they are division champs. Does that give them a tiebreaker edge if they end up tied? To tie with the hawks, Boston has to beat Chicago and Milwaukee while we beat Atlanta.

You just answered your own question...

Yeah, the tiebreaker would go to Boston as division winner, but they'll need to win out and hope the Hawks lose.
 
so we may be in a position where we decide who gets the 3 seed. Who has a better chance of beating Orlando - Boston or Atlanta? It's certainly be more entertaining on our end to play Boston in the second round.

Boston has a better chance of beating them.
