ano ba nagyayari sa Celtics? masyadong maaga nag peak ang team and come playoff time eh pabagsak na ang level nila?

swerte ng Jazz at parang injured si Kobe last game...kuni talo sila, hinde ko napanood buong game last part na lang ang iba ang galaw ni bryant mabagal...

This is just a guess but the Celtics seem to falter on the last quarter when they're on the road. Either Garnett or Pierce should take the lead and carry the team during crunch time. My thinking is, it's gotta be Pierce isolating against his defender because his outside shot and driving ability will make help defenders come to him. He can either draw a foul or give an assist to Garnett or Mr. Shuttlesworth.

mahirap gawin yan, kasi the man guarding him is taller, faster, quicker, stronger...his name? LeBron James.

garnett needs to take over. rajon rondo should not have more shot attempts than him.

i agree, the cavs are leaving him open for a reason.

Garnett over his whole career has never wanted the ball in crunch time. that's why he has always needed that second star to be the man to step up. in his best Minnesota teams, it was Cassell and Sprewell. on this team it's Paul Pierce that will create off the dribble and either drive or get an open 3 for Allen.

of course that's easier said than done because every opponent knows that's exactly what Boston will do :D

KG took over game 7 in Atlanta so there's a chance he'll do the same in this Cavs series....noone in Cleveland could guard him if decides to take over...not even Lebron. Doc Rivers should prop up KG to demand the ball in the crucial stages of the game.

^True. But then again, i doubt if single coverage by LBJ on Pierce would be an effective strategy throughout the second round. Oh well, if you go by the stats, they're both having a miserable series.
