This foul was called on Paul Pierce for getting his jersey and face in the way of Lebron's handsThe Celtics lost tonight, which should have been anticipated because this game was not played in Boston. The Celtics do not win outside of Boston and appear, although they are grown-ass men, to be terrified to perform when they don't have the adulation of thousands of Celtic fans. The Celtics didn't play that crummy, but then again, they didn't play well either. Ray Allen, for pretty much the first time in the playoffs, wasn't a complete liability on the floor! That's encouraging. What wasn't so encouraging was the play of the Celtics bench and secondary players, who were in prime position to win this game for the Celtics but came up with nothing. I'd like to thank Sam Cassell personally for another POS game on the road. Sam-I-Am went 0-5 from the field, they were all terrible shots, and each gave me an ulcer. Kendrick Perkins was even worse, contributing 0-2 from the field, 3 rebounds, 3 fouls, and 2 points in 19 horrific minutes. Um... when the Bulls were good if Bill Wennington had a game like that MJ would threaten to kill his children. You have to get more than 2 points and 3 rebounds out of your starting center unless you want to dominate the cellar of a NESCAC intramural league. The Cavs played average at best and it was good enough to win. That's what good teams do... they win on off nights. The Celtics don't win in the playoffs unless it's a blowout, which means they will not win a championship unless they get their sh!t together right quick.
Of course, this game came down to the fourth quarter, when the Celtics took a 3-point deficit and turned it into an 11-point loss. Thanks for that Coach Rivers. Thanks for once again confidently leading the team down the path of failure. Nothing says "Championship Contender" quite like getting outplayed in crunch time of pretty much every game. Way to go, Doc. That's what we pay you the big bucks for.... nothing. The only Celtic more destructive to the team in the 21st century was Vin Baker, and at least he had a gallon or twelve of Wild Turkey to blame.
