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

Again a lot of complaints about the refs but I think some that watched objectively saw that they were letting a lot go on both ends of the floor. Amazingly, there was a lot of trashing of their own team and threats of violence toward Lamar Odom. I think it almost bothered them more that they got beat by Nate and Big Baby than the fact that they lost.

Game 4 is where we can bury the dagger, its our time to shine

Must win for the Celtics, lakers are going to have to match their energy and not be complacent with one win in Boston.

The Celtics struggle mightily when Rondo is off the floor, Nate is who he's always going to be....erratic and streaky. Players like that can only hurt you once in a while but more often than not he's a detriment to his team. Winning Game 4 will put the noose around the Celtics necks, I'll be more than happy to pull the rope that hangs them........It's time to finish these punks off.

Kobe is due to win us a game in this series. Win the next game, and we get that much closer to making Paul Pierce's prediction happen.

We missed a chance to really knock the C's on their heels in Game 2, let's not give them another chance to bounce back - this game would be a nail in the coffin for them

Last years final felt like an exhibition game compared to this. Breathe in, breathe out...

I'm not so sure we wouldn't rather have Perkins keep playing this way, but with his Tech status and a 2-1 lead this would be the game I'd choose to goad him into a double tech. Again, why worry about Perk, why give them a rallying cry and all, but if it were an advantage(because sheed sucks), I think you take advantage of it with 4min of Josh Powell

DJ will get that tech on Perkins the minute he checks in

I'm just worried that the Lakers big emotional win, will make them to comfortable and not be ready for game 4

Pierce is gonna get abused so bad

Referees for Lakers-Celtics Game 4 tonight: Scott Foster, Eddie F. Rush and Greg Willard.

Foster was lead ref for Lakers' Game 6 WC finals clincher in PHX. He also worked Lakers' OT victory in Game 4 of 2009 NBA Finals in ORL

But remember Foster has screwed us in some games too.....just saying.

How come ray Allen gets away with all those push offs? Watch the game and you'll see before every screen ray runs by, he first pushes fisher than begins to run. I say we bring mbenga in one play and tell him to just level ray..

Honestly, I've got a bad feeling about this game. The Celtics are gonna come out with a lot of intensity, and it'll be up to L.A. To weather the early storm. And the way our team just keeps blowing these big and/or late leads is terrifying. You know it's gonna come back to bite us in the butt.

I think we're going to have to win 5 on 8. I hope everyone brings it, and Kobe finds his jumpshot!

it's a do or die game for the Celtics, so be sure that they will leave everything they have on the floor and I expect major home cooking from the zebras.

Lakers are the better team. They are going to make Paulina's prophecy come true and win both games 4 and 5. No way they beat us a gain.

Would love to see the idiot Boston fans crying all the way home to their mommies. Doc Rivers is nothing more then a hypocrite and a punk, just like his team

We will have to play almost perfect ball to overcome the refs

The team is not playing good basketball, Boston played horribly and still would have beaten us if not for fisher having the best quarter of his life.

Lamar is going to have to play the game of his career if Bynum's limited. Celtics go on runs whenever Odoms been in the game essentially.

No letting up. Step on their throats, go up 3-1

Don't you mean kick them in their throats?

Pierce is due for a good game, I think this is it. He will be limited with Artest guarding him but I expect a good game out of Pierce for game 4. Ray Allen isn't going to have a horrendous night on offense either, so I expect those 2 players to come up big for Boston. We have to limit their bench players, I mean Big Baby? Seriously? He wasn't doing anything special but getting layups.

Feed Gasol whenever KG is on him. Sheed is actually playing terrific defense on Pau.

I gotta give it to Paul Pierce, he knows how to make predictions. Lakers win.

Does anyone know if Doc Rivers got fined for his comments about the officiating?

I am calling it...Lakers win by double digits....

We are about to get the Boston Celtics hardest and best punch. The question is whether we can withstand it and keep fighting. We have to avoid a tied up series tonight!

Magic picks Boston again.

Good, he's been wrong in Game 2, wrong in Game 3, and hopefully wrong again.

No disrespect but the last two people to sing the national anthem, sucks...

Can Boston find any one good to sing the national anthem and not same crack head In game 3 and in game 4

Can you guys believe Tony Allen thinks Kobe kicked him on purpose?

Pierce looks like he want to do something tonight....BRING IT you punk

If the national anthems foretell game results, we are in for a good night.

Pierce begins with a flop. Stab that fool.

Celtics defense has been so dirty and cheap. Of course refs are not going to call it, its ray Allen, he can't be in foul trouble.

You can already see how the refs are calling the game.

Quit blaming the refs for everything. The refs aren't forcing Artest to go 1 on 5 and act like an idiot.

Oh wow. The Stern Effect is in effect.

I'm calling it now, we can't win... that's 2 fouls already the refs didn't call

No fouls called on the C???? Looks like stern is selling the series to go 7 games...

WOW RAY IS ALLOWED TO HACK AND GRAB SO MUCH

I'm calling it now.. Boston will have 2 or 3 times the amount of FTS than the Lakers.
Guess sending in that tape worked.

Less calls tonight...finally "letting them play"

Kobe looks like he drunk some beers before the game

I wish Kobe would just pass the ball ray Allen is a Kobe stopper

Here goes the b.s. Calls. They wont be able to breathe on Pierce tonight.

I'm shocked that was a call our way

They're playing all out, we're coasting, and we're tied. I'll take it.

Since when is Ray Allen a good defender? C'mon Kobe, you're getting single coverage, stop being so bad.

Oh (bleep) PP just punched Ed Rush. Game over.

Pierce punched a reff. I expect we start getting calls.

Artest is killing us on both ends. Time to sit and let a real player give it a shot.

Celtics driving in, Lakers settling for jumpers. Not exactly the recipe for success.

Thank you! Its so obvious and most people are leaning on the ref crutch.

Got lucky! It was not a foul at all..

Celtics can't buy a technical...they do whatever they want with no recourse

I just wanna see rasheed get sucker punched

35% shooting and getting outrebounded. Odom is the Celtics MVP

How come Ray Allen has never been considered a good defender. Posey gets a lot of credit for '08, but I recall it was difficult for Kobe to shake Allen in '08 as well. When Allen was in Seattle, Kobe got by him pretty well. I think Allen couldn't guard young athletic Kobe, but he obviously know how to guard the mature Kobe.

Low score because this is dirty and ugly basketball. Celtics are allowed to hack and push and jump on players to keep the score low but they suck too bad to capitalize on it.

Figures Nate torches us energizer midget

Nate thinks he's actually good.

Davis owns Odom on the boards again.

If lamar continues to get out played by fat Davis we are in big trouble!

Wow, Artest just blew by Pierce.

Old age

Celtics are beating us to all the loose balls - is the difference between the score and us being up 10+

Odom is getting pushed around by every Celtic big.

I noticed that he didn't want any part of Perkins under the rim.

We're getting out hustled. They have more rebounds, more steals, and more second shots! We should be up by at least double digits!

Kobe trying to get tech on perks lol

Kobe Gasol and Ron Ron all gave Porkins a shove walking by. Too bad he didn't take the bait and pick up another t.

I hate Perkins face. I haven't seen him smile. He's either look mad or mad!

That's a wrap. Phil is a moron staying with this lineup so long.

FIVE Turnovers for Kobe

He's going for that triple double Seriously the ball needs to be taped to Kobe's hands, he is a turnover machine

That was a quick 3 second call on garnett. I'd be mad too.

That should have been a foul on Garnett instead of 3 sec violation. He grabbed Pau's neck.

You didn't get the memo? Anything the refs can let the ancient Celtics "future hall of famers"get away with so they don't look decrepit is allowed.

Garnett gets a three second call with 20 seconds left on the shot clock
LA getting some homecooking. Oh, wait...

BAD CALL REFS dammit that wasn't 3 seconds. I don't want no excuses for this game

That 3 sec call was a straight up MAKE UP CALL To our favour....I'm not complaining

I think they called 3 secs because they didn't want to call foul on garnett but it back fires

KG...die in a fire.

Pau is bothered by Perkins. 2008 all over again without Drew.

I can't stand Odom

Triangle = wasting the shot clock so we can put up a terrible shot with 3 seconds left.

Celtics are so damn lucky were not hitting on all cylinders

It seems Perkins has UNLIMITED get out of TECHNICALS FREE CARDS.

That's because if he gets one more, he is suspended 1 game..no way does the Devil Stern allow that to happen

Garnett pretty much goaded Odom to take that awful shot and he fell for it.

Rondo sucks.

Can we stop running the triangle, its an utter failure.

We deserve to lose. This is embarrassing.

Thank God, Allen missed that....I don't think I can handle seeing his mom again.

Artest is simply a disaster on offense this game and the large majority of this series. Celtics don't even have to bother guarding the guy.

Worst game I've ever seen in my life. Lakers played terrible defense. Game 5 is a must win. How the heck do you let players like Big Baby and Nate Robinson go off, are you serious?

This scares me a little... The Celtics look terrible, and they're only down three. I just remember that run the C's went on Game 3 where their D kicked in. I like this caution in the air crowd it's translating on the court, there is no emotion for the C's. If the games close, 24 is Klosing this game down.

Boston resorting to dirty tactics because they know they cant deal with the LAL

Kobe trying to get in Perks head I like.

Kobe baiting Perkins all the way.

This is the Celtics run, better now than in the fourthm, they are gonna be dead in the fourth and will have to rely on Rondo again. The LAL have to keep working and they'll be fine.

Pau butterfingers, Kobe butterfingers, Ron retarded

HOW IS THE 6'4" 396lbs. Big fat Davis beating our big men to the ball, wtf!!

How does Davis get his shots over Gasol?

That fat whale is having his way with us.

Phil is blowing it....absolutely blowing it

We're getting beaten by 4 scrubs and Ray Allen all because we won't box out or show life on offense.

I'd rather have the Celtics starters in there

Is there a SINGLE PLAYER ON THE LAKERS that understands if Rondo is in the area he doesn't QUIT????????? He will find you. He will poke you. He will take the ball from you!

Can't really blame this on the refs, Lakers had the game won and blew it by turning the ball over and taking stupid shots

Celtics could beat the freaking Dream Team with the stuff they're allowed to get away with on defense.

Ok finally some calls

Ha moving screen on Celtics!! EAT IT DOC RIVERS. EAT ITTTTTTTTTTTTT

That's impossible..according to Doc they don't do that

Oh the refs now decide to call the foul when Gasol has a clean shot at the basket?

WE ABSOLUTLY SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK, ONLY REASON WE'RE WITH THEM IS KOBE'S 3'S, PATHETICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

We lead after 3 = we win

Odom played nearly 30min and had 4pts and 7rebounds.
Davis played half that time and has far better stats than Odom. Pathetic.

I know Fat Baby has about a 1000 pounds on Odom, but he has to be more aggressive getting into rebounding position. He's getting pushed off his spot constantly.

Refs have gone from calling everything to calling absolutely nothing. I think I've seen about 20 fouls not called just in the 3rd quarter....about 12-15 should have gone against Boston.

Phil should just take out odom every time bbd is in

Sasha has been brutal tonight, by the way. He looks scared to death.

Man I'm so nervous this is the swing game...we give this up all of a sudden Boston thinks they can hang with us

Big Baby is the MVP of Boston.

I would trade BBD for Odom straight up at this point.

Give the ball to Kobe FFS. Why the (bleep) is Ego Ear running this offense?

Biggest game of the year, and lakers getting out hussled by the Boston bench. I'm getting disappointed

Phil showing why he is the most overrated coach ever
Why is Farmar in trying to play hero ball?

Davis is scoring over EVERYBODY

This Laker team can't handle the Celtic defense.

Celtics with all the calls right now.

I want to shoot lamar right in the face

Thank you Lakers. You're a perfect example of why teams that can't hustle should lose to inferior competition.

This was a golden opportunity to go up 3-1. The Lakers are letting it slip away because of getting outhustled (loose balls, second chance points). Embarrassing.

Give the fat boy credit, he's destroying us inside.

I am getting flashbacks of 2008

Wow, no fouls???? If we lose this game, it's going to be hard for me to watch the NBA, this is fixed. This game, this sport is fixed.

Big Davis is foaming at the mouth. He is owning us. He's unstoppable.

Boston has 13 offensive rebounds, but by all means, let's leave Odom in there. Maybe Boston can set some kind of record for rebounding.

Gotta give it to Davis, he's the best big on the floor tonight. Gasol keeps getting blocked by rondo and Allen while Davis looks like shaq, gotta give credit where it's due. They guy is killing us

The Celtics are better with Davis out there instead of KG...amazing

No foul? Seriously after 4 games its been nothing but stern having his handprints and pulling the strings on every game. It's so obviously that the series was rigged from the start to go seven games or now at least 6. With the ratings that these finals have gotten it's not hard to see that stern wants as many Finals games as possible, and will resort to anything to achieve it.

Well it aint the refs this time.........if anything LA is throwin it........but its not the refs..not tonite

Celtics bench >>>>>>>Lakers bench

IF WE LOSE IT'S THE LAKERS FAULT

Their bench players are beating our starters badly

We all knew this would happen..refs would be in the Celtics pocket..why are you all acting so darn shocked

Finally a T on Sheed. He deserved like 3 already.

And of course Kobe misses the FT..

Kobe sucks

Seriously Phil should have gone to the bench. Our lack of depth is killing us right now, it's obvious that Boston's players have way fresher legs than we do.

Kobe getting every kind of call now....ridiculous how inconsistent the officiating is.

For you anti-ref-conspiracy guys - explain to me how the refs let everyone beat the crap out of each other in the third, then start calling touch falls in the 4th when it benefits the Celtics. Yeah, there's no manipulation at all.

Nate Robinson is the definition of Short Man's Syndrome

How did the Celtics get to the Finals with no control of their emotions? How did the Lakers get to the Finals with no emotions?

I'm sorry but this is on the refs as much as it is on the lakers' d. It's sickening.

If we lose this game, it is because of Fat baby Davis and Nate

The Celtics are too emotional, no way they win this series playing this way. No way

You let the Celtics score 32 in the 4th and you deserve to lose. Need to regroup and win game 5.

Kobe with another sub .500 shooting night with 7 turnovers.

Can't blame the refs for too many turnovers and offensive rebounds. The Lakers gave them this win.

Celtics did NOT win this game..the Lakers blew this game..they had this game won, they freakin had it!!

Wow, Davis is surprisingly articulate. I thought he would sound stupid.

Why we always gotta get embarrassed by someone's bench? WHY?!!!

These idiots never ever learn do they? Is it cockiness? Is it stupidity? It's defnitely stupidity, half the team are morons.

This team is so stoopid.

We lost this game because Odom plays defense like a 7 year old girl scout!

Guys on our bench should be embarrassed that Baby Fat and Nate got some podium run tonight. But I knew is was evident that their bench would out play ours at some point.

Effort, rebounding, execution on offense these 3 things killed us we can fix rebounding and exectuion but you can't teach heart
