CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Comments from the Other Side

A lot of fans blaming this one on the refs. I was yelling all night about calls they missed on the Celtics. But they missed a lot on the Cavs too. I think the last two games were fairly evenly called and after getting the benefit of ALL the calls all season, the Cavs just weren't used to not getting ALL the calls. It was pretty funny because they would complain about the officiating being one sided but at the same time talk about how all the Celtics were in foul trouble (while none of the Cavs were). I can't believe how many Cavs fans really hate the players on their team. They hate Parker, Jamison, Mo, Shaq, and now apparently a lot of them have added LeBron to that list. These comments are always way more fun to gather when we win! Enjoy!

Not looking forward to this. I can't believe this could be it. So sad. If this team has ANY heart whatsoever, they won't go down easy.

1-point loss. Brown is fired, LeBron leaves, Gilbert sells the franchise, JJ becomes our franchise player, Cleveland goes next 100 years without a championship...

It's not important to fearless leader and I got an exam to study for on Friday so it's not important enough for me to watch the end of an era.

After yeasterdays shitty performance and a waste of time, I will NOT be watching game 6 simply to be let down by lack of emtion, effort, and willingness to win on LBJ's part. IF LBJ decides to actually play and win game 6, then LBJ will have EARNED my time as a fan to participate in the viewing of game 7.

I'm feeling very confident, just look back at D-Wades game 4 vs the Celtics where he could of got eliminated, LeBron won't quit on us... I know it.

What are the chances that Bennett Salvatore will be a ref in this game?
Just curious. I'd hate to think that NBA is somewhat fixed, but I just want to see Cavs to redeem themselves in Game 7 at home. It's so sad to go out like that as their last game in the Q for this season.

We're winning this one. This team will come running like Secretariat at the derby

The Cavs got this one. Book it. No way in an elimination game do they come out with anything less than 100% effort. The Celtics can't win if we bring our A game. And the A game will be there. No doubt about it.

I say we win this game by blowing em out. Feeling good for some totally inexplicable reason. It's all depression if we lose for the summer so I'm going to keep myself delusional till then

I'm not watching this garbage. I'm not watching this Cavs team go down as the next entry on a list of epic sports disappointments

Really disappointing end to the LeBron era. Nothing else to add. I wonder what's the real problem of LeBron but who cares Cavs are losing and that's the only thing that matters.

It's over. Ship LeBron and his oh so convenient injury outta Ohio. Choke...

Celtics got lucky in the games they won but their luck has run out along with their legs. They are too old to win 3 in a row. Cavs win in a blow out.

This is the first game in many years, I've been uneasy about our chances of winning

One of the reasons the Cavs won game 1 is because they got a lot of their players in foul trouble.

I don't think that Rondo is as good as the Cavs (and Mo's defense) is making him look.

I have no reason for optimism, based on the last two outings, but I think we get it done tonight. I don't care if it's by one or one hundred, just get it done.

We'll see a repeat of game 3

No you won't. Not unless the Celtics fail to show up, like they did in game 3. The Celtics played very lackadaisically and played almost no defense in that game. Watch the first quarter to see which Celtics team shows up. If they're aggressive and playing tough defense, as they did in games 1, 2 (first 3 quarters), 4, & 5, then I see no way the Cavaliers can win. I hope I'm wrong, but if the Celtics bring their A-game, we're done.

One thing you can count on this game is that the Celtics will bring their A game. They are looking at this as a Game 7 and will play like it tonight. Unfortunately, you can't count on anything else, particularly when it comes to the Lebrons.

At least LeBron is not being passive to start this one. He has the highest PPG average in elimination games.. But man the C's look like they want to close this one out.

Jamison destroying the Cavs franchise one defensive mishap at a time.

Good news... When LeBron comes out rebounding aggressively like he did on that free throw, he's usually very aggressive offensively. All 8 of his game 3 rebounds were in the first half.

Shaq cant guard KG its a horrible idea

No adjustments except for a horrible one.Vintage Brown

OF COURSE Garnett's not gonna dunk against shaq... He'll just create space and nail the jumper. Because he doesn't suck.

Mo Williams is so bad and Browns cure is to double his minutes.

Why cant anyone guard KG

Man there is no way their shooting is going to keep up like this... If it does this will be the worse loss in the history of the NBA

When LeBron actually drives, it looks like he is just throwing the ball at the rim, knowing it won't go in.

HOw lucky can Boston get on their jump shots?

I think the reason we can't match up with Boston is because 4/5 of their starters are all potential first options. They have too many weapons

Lebron is getting fouled so much

Cavs vs. Refs and Celtics....

Celtics are going to have major foul problems in the second half.

Celts shot 56%, Cavs 40% in the quarter and the deficit is only 3.

Rondo is the greatest PG in NBA history after playing the cavs

Rondo is amazin... . Stil hate him though

No one wants the cavs to win that is not a foul.... And another foul who is paying these refs off

Is Boston really this good or are we just that bad??????? This is AWFUL!!!!

Rondo ALWAYS gets a foul call such a flopper.

I'm not worried yet...I've seen enough out of LeBron to see he isn't going to let this game get away from him.

And the refs start calling them the other way..

Awww Sheed. I can always count on you to get that tech.

Fouls are going to hurt the C's.

Doc Rivers doing us a favor not playing KG

Rondo is outplaying LBJ in every way this series.

I would be destroying Rondo every time he was in the paint. Knock him out.

I hate Jamison. He sucks in crunch time.

We're getting out worked. Gotta step up and run this team into the ground.

James has been passively awful

Rondo with 3 fouls, nice!

I hope Rondo picks up his 4th in the last minute.

I hope Rondo picks up his 4th in the last minute. Hey Doc....Mike Brown would never let a player tell him what to do.

Wow some questionable calls

When the DMV asked Mike Brown if he wanted to be an organ donor, he told them all he had was a piano.

LeBron's awful defense on Allen, gives up the dunk

Cavs are going to win this one.. Book it... No way they lose. A motivated cavs team is the best team in the league... Even against the refs.

This defense is unreal.

I seriously can't believe they're going to let Rondo go into the lane time and time again, and no one is going to lay him out, old-school style. Pathetic.

I don't want to think Lebron is really throwing this series.. But its looking more and more like it.. This is very frustrating..

Is it bad that I just got happy at the idea of Shaq hurt? That's a bad thing right? I'm a horrible person. I mean he seems like a nice person, but...

Ray Allen needs to get thrown out of one of these games for intentionally tripping people

Fouls really piling up for the C's

Perkins is an enormous human being and Shaq just pushed him like a little girl.

Now James drives to the basket and is aggressive. This guy is such a quitter. Be careful what you wish for NY or Chicago.

Garnett is a beast in the post!!!!!

I hope this team loses, I'm not even joking. All this team is, is a bunch of cry babies when they don't get their way. Its so pathetic

I'm now convinced that Lebron threw this series. The Lebron I knew would have taken control. Instead he is passing, missing free throws, playing not so good defense and just playing sloppy. Wow. I didn't want to believe it but I'm a "witness" .

We were overrated. Jamison is a scrub at this point and the rest of the guys are simply role players outside of Lebron while they have legitmate stars.

Their defense is just too good, we look like a pile of headless chicken...

Now Sheed is gonna get hot? This is just ridiculous

Refs bad both ways tonight.
The story is gonna be Lebron was hurt since Chicago series but did not want to make a big deal out of it.

As I said earlier this week on the board, I no longer want to resign LBJ . Anyone that comes up so small in the biggest game of his and the franchise's history doesn't deserve to be rewarded.

Why don't thjey play 10 feet off the Alien Rondo EVERY TIME .. He cannot shoot.

Doc Rivers has coached a masterful series and continues to do so.

I want superstars that play to win, not play to get money and be BFFs with Jay Z

Our coach calls timeouts when the lead gets to double digits. There coach calls timeouts as soon as we get a good offensive flow.

LeBron doesn't get any calls, he's no superstar, he's a scrub. At least in the eyes of NBA refs.

I don't want to hear about his elbow. His elbow was sure fine game 3 and game 1. His elbow is sure fine when throws a pass at 80 mph instead of driving the ball.

Torn ligament?!? Hahahahaha!!!!! Here comes Mr. 4th quarter!

Stern manipulated spacetime, warping the gravitational field to alter the ball's path into the basket. Only explanation.

Guys Delonte just talked to Bugs Bunny. I guess they all beat the monstars down in loony toon land. Anyways. Lebron just got his talent back.

I wish MB was as good as Rivers

Refs just took it away on 2 possessions

Refs just screwed us again, you CANNOT tell me this league isn't fixed. The NBA wants the bigger market to move on, simple as that.

This is a joke. The referees are stripping us of our momentum.
Its so ridiculously blatant at this point. The officiating in this series has been horrid, with the officials getting calls wrong to the detriment of both teams. Now the pendulum has swung over to the Boston side

Why is Rondo allowed to knock the ball out of LeBron's hands while he's out of bounds? That's an instant technical. Yet these 2-bit refs refused to call it. Andy gets hacked BADLY and they refuse to call it. You CANNOT tell me these refs don't have an agenda.

Stop blaming the refs. We flat out played like shit the entire game. We don't deserve to win this.

Varejao is a total pansy. I mean honestly if you were a ref would you give him calls? He whines the whole freaking game.

The league stands to make far more by us winning, regardless of what LeBron does next year. So let's ease off the "fix is in" talk.

Boston is in for a rude awakeningin the next round. They don't have to worry about much with us, just build a wall in front of Lebron. Orlando will torch this team and make Allen and Pierce be worn down at the end of games.

Boston fans screaming NY Knicks... Lovely.

At least six of LeBron's "misses" tonight have been on obvious fouls that have not been called. These refs are clearly on the take. Somebody's got to make an issue of this.

LBJ - 1 turnover away from a quadruple double.

Take a machete to this team. And everybody that slobbered over the trade deadline move for Jamison can savor another tremendous February failure.

AJ was still a brilliant pickup for peanuts.
But one of the Celtics may have been allergic to peanuts and gotten such a reaction that it would've been more useful than Tawn has been this series.

I have a newfound respect for the Celtics after this series*. They play as a team and just get it done when it matters. Doc Rivers' timeout speeches are inspiring.

The only drama left is whether Bron shakes hands or not

Lebron isn't going to go to the knicks where every game will feel like this

KG looks closer to old KG

Lebron will never win a championship if he can't win it with a team of this caliber.

Jameer/VC against Rondo/Rayray.. I give edge to Jameer/VC

The way Celtics are playing in the post season, they will win it all. But I hope the Suns win.

I hope either the suns or Celtics win it. Since I was little I hated the lakers and the C's but I would rather see the Celtics win over the Magics. I can't stand Howard and his arrogance.

I underestimated the Celtics. Everyone said they were too old and counted them out because of their regular season. But just like the Spurs of a few years back, they are built for the post season. They play as a team and win as a team. One man bands like the Heat and Cavs are regular season teams.

If the King wants a ring he needs to forget going to NY or Chi town or south beach. He needs to sign with LA or Boston for the mid level. They're the only teams allowed to win these days.
