Phew!!!

THANKS TO KG, THE CELTICS ESCAPE HORRIFIC GAME; CLUTCH FREE THROWS AND REBOUNDING DOWN THE STRETCH FROM POSEY AND CASSELL SEAL THE VICTORY FOR TERRIBLY COACHED AND (MOSTLY) TERRIBLY PERFORMING CELTICS






Paul Pierce and Ray Allen may have shot 2-18 from the floor and scored 4 points COMBINED, Doc Rivers may have called a timeout and drawn up a play with less than 3 minutes left with no idea that there was one second on the shot clock, AND the Celtics may have had to have Sam Cassell shoot 35-foot three pointers in crunch time... but their withering defense on Lebron James and their clutch free throw shooting down the stretch allowed them to wriggle away with a 4-point victory.

Consider Lebron's line- 2-18 from the floor, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, TEN TURNOVERS. Amazing. He was stumbling and bumbling all over the place. I don't think that's going to happen again. It's weird because I was thinking before the game that Lebron always plays a little bit better than Pierce when they go head to head, and this game was no exception. They were both awful. It was strange to see Lebron trip and get called for travelling, or throw up shots as if some 5-year-old was controlling him in a video game and was figuring out which button is "shoot" and which button is "pass". On the flip side, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen played a different kind of suck- they looked as though they couldn't score a basket against the Perkins School for the Blind's JV equipment manager.

What a weird game. Thank the basketball gods the Celtics won, otherwise I would probably be walking the city streets looking for puppies to dropkick into traffic. Cleveland fans must be pissed....Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/05/phew.html
