thats why i dont like it when people say he is close to paul/deron... can't rely on your ball handler at the end of games if he shoots 50% from the line. also good dish from b-diddy and big 3 from butler to tie it.
Totally awesome finish. 1. Celts up 3 and don't score. 2. BD dribbles around wasting time, finally attacks the basket and dishes off to Caron Butler who hits a game-tying 3 with 8 seconds left. 3. Rondo isos BD, easily beats him and forces the foul with 1.5 seconds left. 4. Rondo bricks both FTs, plus a practice FT in-between. 5. BD with the turnaround game-winning at the buzzer. LPBB people, it's worth a look. I remember last year's Celts game at the Clippers. Same result but this one was more fun IMO.
I meant Rasual Butler, of course. Was typing way too fast. Sorry about that. For being such a journeyman player, Rasual Butler has hit several late clutch shots over the years. I'm surprised the Celtics bit so hard when BD drove to the basket.
Just watched the ending on LPBB. Amazing shot by Baron. no idea why the Celts bit so hard on his drive on the previous play though.
Baron Downed the Celtics two years ago as a member of the warriors with a tremendous buzzer beater as well. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5T_4sWYkajM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5T_4sWYkajM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Good for Davis, he deserves it. I always liked him as a player. I'd probably like him off the court too but I don't know him.

And yes I'da rather him than Francis back then, but I dont think that debate is relevant anymore.
WOW what a shot!!! That was the longest second ever though. Did anyone else get the feeling that that game was like the NBA Finals for the Clippers, lol...I mean seriously.
Wow huge mental mistake by a veteran team, especially up by 3 in the closing seconds. You give that layup to BDiddy and then put Ray Allen on the line.
