Rose will get a ton of credit for that block...and well deserved. But as a Celtics fan I have to say that Pierce choked. He passed up a wide open 3 with a minute to go and committed a horrible foul to be out of the game. Rondo should never have been taking that shot. Pierce should have still been in the game.
That said...
What a series. Can't take my eyes off it for a second. Can't wait for Game 7.
Ugh!!! Celts up 5 points with 2 mins left in regulation and then MISSED LAYUP!!
Pierce and Allen need to synch up -- when one does well the other struggles, then they go to OT against Da Bulls. If they both do well (i.e. game 3), then they win by a comfortable margin.
If they make it to the next round, both need to do well for at least 4 games to beat Orlando.

i agree.
great series, hopefully they pull it out in 7

The C's were also 8 deep last year. Being 5 deep this year is WAAAAY different. and I'm a huge Celts fan, but no way will they have fresh legs for te next series if they were to win.
It is no different than 1987 when the Celtics post-season bench consisted of Jerry Sichting, Darren Daye and Fred Roberts and they beat a team with huge depth in Detroit.
If they can beat Chicago tomorrow night, I think they can take Orlando.
i thought doc did a nice job coaching and keeping all the big guys in the game with that many fouls. great game, great series.
the next one should be good also

I'm not sure if it was the gameplan, his ankle, or if he was psyched out after his flagrant foul at the beginning of Game 6, but Rondo looked completely different than he did in the first 5 games. Didn't seem quite as confident on the offensive end....he needs to get back to playing his style of ball vs. Orlando.
nice come back but did they spend too much energy to fall short??? we'll see.

This series is going at least 6, if not 7. I have no idea who's going to win. If Perkins can continue to keep Howard more than 8 feet from the basket, it'll be the C's, but if Van Gundy was smart enough to make a couple substitution matchup changes, I would say Orlando. Either team is going down in four straight to the Cleveland LeBrons anyway, unfortunately
I didn't know Davis could hit the outside shot like that. I looked at my girlfriend after we left 11 seconds on the clock and told her the Celts would win it on a last second shot.......I just didn't expect Davis to be the one making it.
Tonight was a must win for the Magic. I'm gonna try and go to game 6 but reallly hope I don't see the Celtics close it out on our court.
<< <i>Big Baby comes through in the clutch! WOW! >>
Yes, they were very fortunate to win that one after failing to put Orlando away with a subpar performance by Allen and getting only 2 points from the bench.

you could have knocked me over with a feather. after the walk earlier in the quarter.
i'm still shocked pierce gave it up.

I said to my fiance before the inbounds pass...the odds of Pierce dribbling around for 10 seconds and taking a jumper being contested by 3 guys and falling away at the elbow were 99.9999999999999%.
<< <i>that really should never happen...but dang, it did! >>
Agreed, Boston stepped up, but Orlando handed that win to them. Pretty poor form by Dwight Howard to critcize Van Gundy at the press conference -- nice leadership from your best player. I see O-Town losing by 20 at home in Game 6.
i shut it off and fell a sleep, i thought it was over.
nice come back i missed

Sorry your Celtics didn't get the game 7 win, but your team hung tough against a tough opponent. I was hoping for another Lakers Celtics series if the Lakers get by Denver.

Agree, they did well with what they had. Here's to a Healthy 2009-2010!!
good series and i think they did as good as they could considering.
better luck next year.

Sorry to be a downer, but as a Celtics fan...they beat themselves with bad shots in that series. Ray Allen was horrid (including in game 7 despite) and Pierce didn't figure out that he needed to go to the basket until way too late. Rondo and Perkins were brilliant in the playoffs. At least we can look forward to them for another few years. I think we need to sign and trade Davis while his value is high (he's unrestricted this offseason). He is good for stretches but will never be a great NBA Starter. Looking forward to next year.

Looking forward to a Celtic victory in game seven. Maybe, Pierce will guarantee the victory like Larry Bird used to.
Pierce and Allen need to synch up -- when one does well the other struggles, then they go to OT against Da Bulls. If they both do well (i.e. game 3), then they win by a comfortable margin.

<< <i>A good run. Front office didn't work any magic this year, and Garnett's loss was big. Heckuva run for an undermanned team. >>
Garnett is going in for surgery next week. Given they waited this long, I wonder if they were going to use him against Cleveland?
