Win it for Bob Ryan, who could be covering his last Celtics game tonight.

If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end, as to be worthy of remembrance.

Came here to post this exact quote. Nicely done.

[Turrable]

Game 7 is ours.

[Section15Box113]

This. Lots of this.



WIN.

[runnels3]

In '74 on a Friday night the Cs lost a game 6 heartbreaker to the Bucks. In less than 48 hours they came back on the road for game 7, totally focused, and put away Kareem & Co. for their 12th ring. Tonight we repeat that feat!

Celtics, we love you. Lock. In.

If Paul Pierce can somehow manage not to continue one of the WORST shooting series for a player taking over 100 shots then the C's have a chance.

Pierce is putting up the type of shooting numbers that everyone loves to kill Kobe for.

Paul needs to drive inside and try to get to the line. Cannot keep shooting pathetic bricks from outside like for most of this series. Don't need his "hero ball" or coming out with 4 first quarter 3 pointers as he did in Game 6.

Time for the CAPTAIN to play a great game and bring the Celtics to the Finals...

In fairness, his legs are proper fucked.

Tickets on Stubhub for $100. Pathetic.

I almost bought one and flew down.

Well you've gotten off to a fantastic start.

[CaptainLaddie]

Holy shit, the ESPN crew is BURYING the Celtics right now. They don't think this is gonna be any closer than 20 points.

[The Belly Itcher]

Say what you will, but PP's contested 3 over Lebron in game 5 was the proverbial dagger in the scrotum. That was arguably the shot of the game.

Well, it wasn't the dagger quite yet.

True....but for that game, though.

They've not exactly been the beacon of accuracy so far. May their dart board guessing game backfire once more.

[The Belly Itcher]

Laddie, is that a shot of your jerk off material? Geez, at least wait for a female ESPN correspondent or athlete.

They've really been a joy to watch this series. At 2-0 it was OMG THE HEAT ARE AN UNSTOPPABLE JUGGERNAUGHT then it got to 3-2 and OMG THE HEAT ARE SO BAD THEY WILL NEVER WIN ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PLAY AS A TEAM AND THEY SUCK SO MUCH YOU GUYS and now it's 3-3 and OMG LEBRON IS CHRIST INCARNATE THE CELTICS ARE SO OLD AND THEY SUCK AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR HIS GREATNESS.

I feel like hell. Be 8:30 damnit.

I know it's probably been said a million time, but I can't stand these 8:30 games.

Worse because espn never starts on fucking time. It's bad enough I have to deal with espn in the first place.

good, they haven't been right about a single thing all series since game 2

[bankshot1]

The utter lack of respect the ESPN experts have for the Celticsis beyond brutal.

I'm pretty sure Magic wearing his Thunder Beat the Heat T.

[AimingForYoko]

I think I need pizza. And some alcohol. Harder than I have available.

People actually watch espn pre-game? For why?

[CSteinhardt]

The more I think about this, the more I like playing this one on the road. Keep it close and that place is going to be silent by the 4th.

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That video that BB linked to is really well done in summarizing what these two teams are about.

I am with some others in that I haven't wanted a game this much in a while. I guess the Superbowl (yeah, we are spoiled) but this feels different. KG is probably my second favorite Boston athlete from the past 10 years or so behind Pedro. Given the way he's played this season, it would be shame for it to end right here.

Win. I don't care if its a 1 point margin and requires us fans to have a heart-attack ending while Wade takes another three with time going off the clock. Just get it done.

Dale!

It's like the Celtics haven't won 3 of the last 4.

[NavaHo]

Michael Wilbon's argument, summarized: "The Celtics have huge swings in play. They're good one day, terrible the next. So they have no chance tonight."

Magic Johnson's argument, summarized: "Great players make great plays, LeBron's gonna win."

I just can't get past the fact that four studio analysts have been placed in a studio for the purpose of analyzing a game, and they do just about zero analysis. It's as if they're only allowed to watch the last game these teams played. Then they cut to Van Gundy and he actually analyzes what the teams are going to do tonight like it's a novel fucking concept.

[Nomar813]

Does Magic actually do any preparation before going on the air, or is he just going off the top of his head?

[NavaHo]

He's gone from "momentum" to "the biggest stars win these games" to "hustle plays will win the game" without providing a shred of support for anything other than "I used to play."

[Soxy Brown]

Fuck ESPN pre-game. If you have NFL Network, they're showing the Pats-Colts AFC Championship Game from the 2003 season. Good omen?

[estreetfan]

Win it for us!

[phragle]

It's like the Celtics didn't win 3 of 4 against the Heat in the regular season.

It's like the Celtics haven't won 6 of 10 against the Heat this season.

[EddieYost]

I hate Lebron. Win.

[mikeot]

This is just what I needed to see ... pull the rug out from under these pompous over-hyped poseurs.

Mike Wilbon, Stephen A Smith, and others on their "expert" panel were claiming the Heat dead in buried going into game 6. So much so, that the "Magic 8 ball" question was: should anyone be fired if the Heat lose tonight? What a complete joke ESPN has become with their over the top segment sponsorships of everything. Pathetic. These "experts" will be wrong again and then have no choice but to say, " the Celtics have the heart of a champion and we can't discount that!"

This pregame show is absolutely horrendous. It's the most reactionary pregame I've ever heard, it's like a bad game thread.

Freaking fantastic, I can't wait to win tonight.

[SemperFidelisSox]

The ESPN shootaround show is just Magic flip flopping on his stance from the previous game and Wilbon and crew agreeing with him.

[Nomar813]

This pregame show.



Come on, 8:30.
