Yeah, but Boston is playing pathetic on the road in the playoffs anyway and don't deserve to win.

This is the east, not the west. The Celtics should be rolling through the competition.
 
Okay, Cleveland, I agree that Boston sucks... BUT YOU ARE CLEVELAND. You aren't allowed to talk shit about other cities.
 
Cavs still won't win in Boston but if Lebron James is supposedly playing his best in this series the past two games and manages to get by the Celtics. Pistons will sweep.

Pistons will sweep a team they couldn't beat a year ago potentially without the franchise player?
 
Seriously, that's what passes for Lebron's best? What's sad is that Lebron was agreeing with Michele. Also in the game Lebron got overly excited chest pounding after every little jumper he made. Nevermind he missed the previous 4-5 shots...
 
If they lose Game 7 and don't fire Doc Rivers, it's a travesty. The whole offense is a fucking joke, the substitution patterns are all over the place (bench Leon Powe completely for 2 games, for example). Of course not to place all the blame on Doc (although he deserves it), Ray Allen looks like he's aged 10 years, Garnett treats the ball like a hot potato in the fourth, and Pierce is on fumes (although that offensive foul was pure bullshit).

Hey, remember: " A Lebron James team is never a desperate team".... what a douchebag comment, but the announcers lap it up. Lebron has played shitty for the most part too, the whole series is a joke.
 
So, here is the unofficial NeoGAF "Who blew it?" Poll:

Who is to blame for the Celtics' Game 6 loss?

A. Kevin Garnett
B. Kevin Garnett
C. Kevin Garnett
D. Kevin Garnett


This poll is meant to reflect the diverse range of opinions that have been observed to be found in NBA discussions on this forum.

Billups is perfectly fine now, Flip's even said that if there had been a game six he would've been able to play. I think they should beat the Cavs easily though, the Pistons are a lot better this year than last year, they're more rested and they have a deeper bench. I also think Maxiell especially has gotten MUCH better. It's not impossible for the Cavs to beat the Pistons (or the Celts), I still think the Pistons should be the favorite though to win.

Yes, Chauncey is expected to play and the fact that the series is going to a game 7 just gives him more time to rest and get ready. Rip is going off lately as well. Plus they beat the magic twice without him playing, I know the Magic aren't the Cavs but still even with him they can win.

Naw, man, I got the Pistons winning regardless of whom they play. I was just trying to see the logic behind a sweep.
 
I stopped by to see if the Lebron Fan Club was out in full force, I wasn't disappointed!

I'm sorry, I am not usually a "KG doesn't perform in the 4th" person but in this game tonight he looked tenative. There was one play late in particular where he pulled up instead of going strong. In general the whole team was passing up shots, nobody wanted to take open shots.
 
I think it's funny that Ray Allen became the old one-dimensional jump shooter that everyone was predicting he'd become when he joined the Celtics. It's like when they got KG everyone completely forgot that the clock was ticking on Allen. And lo and behold, he sucks now.

It's not that bad a city. I was there for two days in summer 06. It's right on the lake, and the downtown layout is really nice.
 
Lebron shot more free throws then the C's. Shocking.....not so much. Ref's gave them the game. The last offensive foul on Pierce was the clincher...offensive foul...really...:lol

With the 2-3-2 format, I think the team without home court advantage actually has the advantage.

Only if they steal one of the first two games.
 
Just a reminder, I got tickets for the Doyers game on June 4th against the Rockies. Anyone interested..? they're pretty good seats too!
