That was very odd. The refs put a Celtic on the foul line with the game on the line with a marginal call. FL, did you spike the refs coffee this morning with green koolaid?

1.9 left in the 4th. Cavs come out with all their 3 point shooters. Cavs call a second time out, their final in regulation. Cavs inbound on the side. Hughes inbounds across court to Jones who misses a 3 from the corner as Ray runs at him. Celtics win 98-96 FINALLY the kids show they can do it without Pierce.

Good win tonight! The Celtics hung in there and beat a good team (albeit without the King). Lots of good positives to take home tonight.
FL, lets adjourn over to the Celticsstufflive show.

Green and Al doing a tune on the Cavs and Rondo had a balanced game as usual.

I liked the C's starting 5 tonight. And, I like West coming off the bench.

This is an impressive win. Both teams were without its star player, but we seriously had the handicap.
Consider the Cavs proven veteran players: Gooden, Big Z, Snow, Hughes, Marshall, Damon Jones and Pollard
Now look at our proven veterans: -------------------------------------------------------
Perkins was our lone player who has 4 years in the NBA. Everyone else who played tonight has played less than 3 years in the league
3 years: Jefferson, Delonte, Telfair
2 years: Gerald, Gomes
1 year: Rajon, Ray, Powe
This is very encouraging because it shows the growth our young players have made as a team. Individually, there are still a lot of room to grow. But playing as a team, they have pulled out a win against a playoff bound Cavs team. Yeah Cleveland was playing a lot of their young guys too, but for the most part, their veterans mostly played.
I'm also impressed by the number of players who had 4 or more assists. Jefferson, Green and Rondo had 4 apiece, and Perkins had 5.

We need to stop winning these games. We're so close to locking up 2nd worst record over-all, why blow it by winning these meaningless games? We def. have to lose our two remaining matchups with Milwaukee.
Why do they have to make this so tough on me?

We def. have to lose our two remaining matchups with Milwaukee. Why do they have to make this so tough on me? I know it doesn't make sense, but IMO, improving our record may increase our chances at getting the #1 pick. If Milwaukee moves below us, we'll have the 3rd worst record, but somehow I just feel that the ping pong balls will fall our way better. I know, it doesn't make sense. |

I have to agree with you Derren that that makes no sense
