First off, in response to the last 2 games and all of that, these series' switch momentum and outlook to the extreme on a game by game basis, so I've learned to not get too high or low or optimistic or pessimistic after certain wins/losses, because such are the tides of a playoff run. I still like the C's in 7, and I still like the C's to win the East.

Celtics 104
Cavs 92

I said C's in 7 and I'm sticking to it. I still think LeBron is going to take over and win an entire game by himself. Hopefully that's just Game 6 in Cleveland... Boston can't win on the road anyways.


Celtics 99
Cavs 88

I must applaud your guys optimistic feelings...

Odds say the C's win by 15...

The thing that should concern all you C fans is the fact Detroit has a lot of time to rest up and prepare for the winner of this series...

Great point. Detroit will be tough for whomever wins this round. Luckily for the C's, if they win, they will have home court. That's about all they've got going for them right now.

I think the Pistons can beat the C's in Boston though.

None the less:

Celtics 95
Cavs 85

Wow... KG and PP FINALLY stepped in up like they are capable of doing. Well... KG's done it a few times this post-season, but it was nice to see PP get in on the action for once. With that said, Rondo was still the player of the game. The turning point was when Doc took out Cassell and left Rondo in for good.

LeBron was pretty good, but the Celtics were great. I'm pretty confident that the C's will win one of the last two and take the series.

Well, I guess the key is home court in this series...

Have to tip my cap to the C's this game as they took back the series lead...This one is going 7 though...

Somewhat of a nice gesture I guess. Still, no props to KG... even though without him they would have lost to the Cavs already, and perhaps not gotten past Atlanta. Also, your boy PP \"the real MVP\" has not done jack squat against the Cavs except for this last game. Ok, I take that back... he did play pretty good defense at times against LeBron, but nothing that Posey couldn't have done.

ok...KG played well...he took over one game in the playoffs...nice job...

For the record...all my negative comments on KG are about his inability to win the big game...

But for this game he took a step closer...

Geeze I hope that suffices...I am not going to bow down to the altar of KG as you guys have

All I'm saying is that you are quick to call one of the greatest players ever at his position a \"bust\", yet when he takes over and absolutely dominates a game you say nothing. That was all.

In all honesty, KG missed a big shot at the end of the game that would have sealed it. He got extremely lucky that Allen got a hand on that board otherwise it would have been a two point game.

They would have lost the game before halftime if it weren't for KG.

2 things about Doc's rotation are really pissin me off...

= Cutting down Leon Powe's playing time for the human fossil PJ Brown.

= Playing Cassell over Eddie House/Tony Allen.

Powe was AWESOME over the last few months of the regular season. PJ has done nothing productive for over a year.

Eddie House provided a great spark & long-range threat off the bench almost all season. Cassell is horrible on defense, and other than nailing mid-range jumpers (which he hasn't even been doing in the playoffs) he is bad.

Doc is abandoning 2 great energy guys off the bench who helped get them to 66 wins for 2 washed-up vets who are contributing little to nothing. Very very stupid & senseless.
