    Why the hell on Sunday is the game in LA on at 3PM EST and th game in Boston is on at 8:30EST?

    if you were a network executive, what game would you think gets the better audience. carmelo anthony and iverson vs. kobe bryant and the lakers or the hawks, who were under .500 against the celtics.

    so far the celtics are doing pretty much what I thought but I'd be hard pressed to see the nuggets making this a lengthy series based on the defense or lack of it that i've seen in the first game and a half so far.

    garnett is not the mvp. it seems like all celtics fans seem to think he is. he is not. it is either kobe or CP3. garnett had a great year, but i do not think he should be up for mvp. damn celtics fans...

    A player that asks to be traded from his team should not be considered that Valuable.


    I am a celtics fan but Have been a KG fan for many years
    I think KG or Paul should get MVP

    ...also an alleged rapist should NOT be considered MVP neither!!! I hope the voters remember that debacle incident! If there was a trail, definitely GUILTY because it's in Colorado. No O.J. treatment there! :p

    Cassell, Rondo and Posey came off pretty big too.

    They came off real big!

    Winning w/o Allen and Pierce having any game at all
    and shutting down LEBRON

    Thats what is so great about the celtics, they have so much depth

    Out of all the C's players this season, I've been very disappointed with Allen, especially with his shooting. He's had nights where he looked like a sharpshooter but more nights where he's just awful. At least with KG/PP, he have a bit of defensive effort to work with when their shooting is off.

    whoa whoa whoa there. i wouldnt go and say they shut lebron down. he couldnt buy a basket tonight and i wouldnt credit that entirely to the celts defense. i mean, lebron was had one of his worst games ever and they only lost by 4. could you imagine what would have happened if he showed up tonight? the celts would have got spanked.

    well another "GREAT NIGHT" for Lebron ;)

    I guess Shutting down could be the wrong phrase for game 1
    But last night.. How can you have that bad of a night twice?!?!
    Pierce and Allan atleast came back for game 2

    I honestly think the series is OVER, Cleveland is NOT Atlanta, where they had alot of players who are willing to drive at the rim, Bibby, Smith, Childress, and of course Johnson- who was lights out in a couple of games in the ATL.

    Cleveland rely mostly everything on LeBron and as long as the C's can keep him in check like they have in Boston, then Cavs are done.
