Miami -7, two points higher than the line in games one and two.

Not looking good.

WHAT THE FUCK! THE KG, PIERCE AND RAY ERA CANNOT END WITH A DOUBLE DIGIT ROUT! SHOW SOME FUCKING HEART! BE PRIDEFUL! BEAT THESE BITCHES!

[knucklecup]

Oh, and if it's any consolation prize, my Dad has cancer.

(it worked for the Sox...)

All I'm saying is don't let us win tonight.

These aren't the Kobe/Phil Lakers.

But don't worry about style points, worry about the win. A Cs win tonight puts a lot of pressure on those dickheads.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

[mikepnq]

Fuck cancer. You know who else has cancer? My uncle. Huge Celtics fan, big amateur photographer. I remember becoming a Celtics fan and looking at his pictures of Danny Ainge's dive and Larry's shooting form. Win it for my uncle, and win it for knucklecup's dad. Fuck the Heat.

I said it before, I'll say it again: Quitting is for losers and Lakers.

We ain't either.

Here's hoping KG vMay7 shows up and not KG vMay9.

[Boston Brawler]

Dear Celtics,

I am waking up at 3:30 AM in Afghanistan to watch you play. I have watched all of your games during these playoffs, I don't want this to be the last. I am already in a shitty place, you losing makes it infinitely worse. There are so many bandwagon Miami fans in my unit, please for the love of God help me shut them the fuck up. Just fucking win tonight, fuck the Heat.

Love,

Me.

P.S. BBD if you fuck this up any more than you already have, I will right a letter to my Congressman tomorrow requesting your banishment from the Commonwealth. Don't make me do that.

Shaq doubtful for tonight. After listening to Doc Rivers today, it's likely he's done for season.

As Cedric said the other night on the postgame show, "if Shaq was a horse, you'd take him out and turn him into glue."

[jose melendez]

Tickets still available in Miami according to Rachel Nichols

[BigSoxFan]

We'll see if Miami gets to enjoy yet another +15 FT differential at home. If they do, Ray had better have one of his ridiculous shooting nights.

[Mystic Merlin]

Win tonight and this one goes 7.

[bankshot1]

Win and Go Home
to the Garden
where the Heat may start feeling the real heat

[JohnnyTheBone]

Humble the Heat? No.

Humiliate the Heat.

Take their souls.

Dylan Thomas said it best:

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[ElcaballitoMVP]

I can think of no better way to end the Heat season than to come back from down 3-1 and win twice in their building. They've got a long way to go, but it starts tonight. I'm not done with this season yet. Neither are the C's.

Anyone who thinks this is already over can take the night off, do something besides watch the game, and we'll see you when you jump back in when we get back to Boston for game 6.




You have to win 4 games to advance. It doesn't matter which 4.

[Cerebus the Batboy]

Everything is going Miami's way -- youth, health, momentum, favorable calls... I'm sure they're licking their chops in anticipation of putting this series away and avenging their regular season humiliations.

But... what if?

What if the Celtics beat Miami in Miami in front of that half-empty arena? What if the home court advantage suddenly loses its luster of invincibility? What if the C's trust each other on defense, close down the lanes and force Miami into jump shots? What if crisp ball movement on offense beats the Heat's athletic advantages?

You need to win one game. Tonight. No excuses. If the refs spot the Heat ten points, win by eleven.

Put a chink in the armor and go from there.

Just win.

[mikeford]

Kill Dwyane Wade.

Tickets still available in Miami according to Rachel Nichols

No surprise. I was in Miami during last year's Cs-Heat series and, while the Heat were clearly a different team last year, the ONLY way one could know that the Heat were in a playoff series was to buy a newspaper or drive to within a few blocks of the AmericanAirlines Arena.

Then again, there were Bs seats to be had on the "primary" market a day before one of the Flyers games.

I'm probably going to break my desk in half and set all my books on fire if they lose this game, then burn the library down so I don't have to pay them back for the books I set on fire, and the school as well so I don't have to pay for the desk I broke in half.

So win, because all that stuff sounds like a lot of work.

[SemperFidelisSox]

This group has always stepped it up when it had too.

With that being said, I'm expecting the Heat to win by 20.

[RedOctober3829]

All I'm saying is don't let us win tonight.

[Bongorific]

I hate Lebron. I mean we all do. But seriously, win tonight just to shut up Wade and Spoelstra. They're already talking like a trip to the Finals is a sure thing. F that. Win tonight, win at the Garden, and watch Lebron piss himself on the plane heading back to Miami. If this Celtics core went out against the Bulls or something I could live with it. But not these turkeys. Not these jabronies.

Let's cream these turds.

[jose melendez]

Great point earlier. If we win tonight, Game 6 is at home in front of a crazy, crazy crowd, and then in Game 7, anything can happen.

[jose melendez]

Win it for Robert Tractor Traylor, who tipped over just waiting to see the Celtics win.

[mandro ramtinez]

I want the Celtics and Red Sox to both be 1 game under .500 after tonight. They can work on getting to .500 Friday.

Humble the Heat? No.

"If you play the way you play, and you dedicate yourself to doing this, they will come. ... You may have to put your arms around a couple guys and take 'em with you."




Take us with you KG. Rise up on those almost-36-year-old legs and take us back to Boston.

[mikepnq]

I'm not ready for the season to end yet, and certainly not to these entitled bastards.



The word at the end there is ringS, plural. I want one more from this core. Kick their asses tonight and start an improbable run. The 2007 Red Sox were down 3-1 to Cleveland. You know who used to play in Cleveland? LeFaker. Kick his ass like the Sox kicked the asses of the Indians.

I swear, that video makes things a little bit dusty for me. Just win tonight.

[runnels3]

Nobody's giving these guys a fighting chance. Are you kidding me? That's a recipe for a win. And Miami is due to buckle in their own house of cards.

I say the spirit of '68 & '81 is on fire tonight!

[mikeot]

Need big minutes from Delonte and Jeff Green, with BBD warming the bench....

Corrected; Delonte, not Dante,

I have this weird and wonderful feeling that not only are the Celts going to win tonight, but they are going to win somewhat easily.

I expect a huge game from Ray

[nocode51]

I don't know if we can win three straight. I really don't. I know it's possible but I just don't know if we can pull it off. I am POSITIVE about one thing though. I am NOT ready for this to be it. Win tonight. Play Friday. Give us two more days.

I wish I shared your optimism. I see a spirited effort falling short.

I love the good vibes, but I have my doubts.

Still, I am strangely serene myself. I don't feel confident about their chances in this game - or, for that matter, the series - but I'm not anxious at all. And I can't even chalk it up to a sense of resignation because I'm not terribly pessimistic, either. I suppose it's possible that I am satisfied with the awesome runs this core group has afforded us and don't have any more expectations, but it's nonetheless a little odd that I don't feel those pre-game nerves.

Pretty much nothing would surprise me tonight, except possibly a Boston blowout (i.e., 10+ point lead throughout the final period). All I ask for is a competitive effort, and I don't expect any of us will be disappointed in that regard. Are we ever?

@globegarydzen: Rondo will play tonight for the #Celtics, though Rivers says "in some ways he's actually in more pain than he was."


/tugs collar

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

What Rondo is doing is heroic and historic and beyond anything I can comprehend attempting.

[knucklecup]

The line hasn't been rock solid, by any means. Fuck that philosophy.

You can't predict Ray going off. You can't predict Big Baby showing that he's competent. You can't predict Jeff Green winning a game for us like Nate Robinson did last year against Orlando in round two. You can't predict a Delonte 20-plus point contribution. You can't predict a Garnett resurgence. You can't predict the Celtics bypassing the Pierce isolation play at the buzzer and actually giving themselves a chance to win the game. You can't predict a Jermaine O'Neal double double (with blocks and rebounds). You can't predict Rondo beating the odds, fucking around, and getting a triple double. You can't predict the officials giving Pierce a quick two foul screw job, only for Wafer to hit three consecutive threes. You can't predict 10 and 5 for Krstic in limited minutes. And finally, you can't predict, but you can certainly hope that Troy Murphy gets some tick, and tackles Wade worse than Bynum the other day - his career's over anyways, go out with a bang.

WIN!!!!!

Harlan is such a raging douchebag. He must love traveling to Miami.

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Great start.

[Mystic Merlin]

Seemed like that ball was deflected, given the way Ray responded to the pass.

[radsoxfan]

Harlan is such a raging douchebag. He must love traveling to Miami.

I really hate that he and Reggie got this series. So painful

[Jed Zeppelin]

Don't worry about catching the ball Ray.
