    Maybe after so many years of preferential treatments, some refs woke up with some conscience for a day?

    It's playoff and touchy foul is not supposed to be called. You know why LeBron choked in every final game? Because refs don't give him the freebies as frequently. Of course if 2006 happens again, no team can stop Heat, with or without Bosh.

    You guys always fail to realize that the other team has to agree. Rondo=top 3 PG. His value is off the charts, what would they want with Martin and Lowry?

    He's not on vacation but he's almost never in these playoff threads.

    I dunno....... but the Celtics offense is alright. Or, they're doing a lot better than most of us expected. They're averaging 97 in the first 3 games of this series and almost 100 when they played the Heat in the regular season.

    KG is owning them. The lack of Bosh is showing, as it did v. the Pacers.

    They're +28 when KG is on the floor in the series, a huge discrepancy just like with Hibbert for Indy.

    Miami must contain him.

    I don't think the Celts will have enough energy to close out game 4. Wouldn't be surprised if they gain a decent lead but can't hold on it. Their defense will fail them eventually.

    Or if Wade shows up for more than a half. He throws up these clunkers way too often in this playoffs. And make their FTs (65% in the series).

    I was going to mention that too. He might need to have his knee drained again before the post-season is over. Game 4 should give some indication if Wade is headed downhill again.

    The Celtics averaged 88 PPG in the first two rounds. If you take away the OT Game 2, they averaged 90 points against Miami in this round. So their offense is mediocre at best.

    They were scoring more the past two games because Rondo was hitting his jumpers and free throws. Not sure if sustainable. And Miami somehow decided to front KG when we all know that the lop pass to an agile 7-footer is not very difficult.

    Boston had its best shooting game in the reg. season v. Miami at near 60% for an entire game I believe. Don't know what it is, but Boston makes its jumpshots v. Miami.
