Game 2 tonight. Big one for Boston, since they can either even up the series and get the split on the road...or they can pretty much lose the series by going down 0-2. The Cs need to come with a MUCH different attitude tonight to have a chance for a win. If they don't give a drastically improved effort, they will get blown out again. Here's hoping they get off to a good start and have the poise and toughness to hold on.
My wife is still out with some friends...so I may be grandfathered into getting the house to watch the game tonight. We shall see.
Either way...Go Celtics!

Ray Allen was a beast. And the fact that he disappeared after the half makes his performance even that more remarkable. Ugly win, but they'll take it.
ReplyDeleteBut they will need more from the rest of the team if they are going to win the series. Pierce, Garnett, et al can't be in foul trouble and shoot as poorly as they have in the first two games. LA is too good offensively for the Celtics to weather that storm again with Allen alone. So we'll see how they respond.
Foul trouble also severely hamstrung Kobe, which Boston cannot count on happening again. That was a gift (at least two of those calls were suspect), and thankfully the Celtics cashed it in. But they still need to play better, more well-rounded basketball games to win it.
