Default Re: 2008 Boston Celtics Playoff Game thread

the big 3 along with their head coach are career losers.
that said
how do you manage to beat teams at home by 25-30 a night and lose badly on the road despite having the best road record in the league?
its a combination of leadership and experience
the guards set the tone offensively and need to hold onto the ball and make the open shots
the big men need to box out and occasionally remind lebron james that despite his millions he isnt entitled to anything,theres nothing wrong with an occasional elbow to the chops or a knee to the thigh to remind him hes in a fight and finally,the big men need to move without the ball,they need to bounce up and down from the box to the top of the key,setting screens and rolling off them,its time for paul pierce to step it up and its time for ray allen to break 40% from the perimeter...i think the damage to rondo's psyche is official,rivers fucked this kids head up in game 6 in atlanta and he isnt the same player,he seems extremely tentative...a big win tonight would go a long way to solving their road woes,a loss puts cleveland back in the saddle and all the pressure falls back on the celts.
anything less than a shot at detroit will cost rivers his job i feel
