it still amazes me that people think the celtics have a chance in hell at winning the finals.. any dominant western beast will demolish em, sans the refs...... i want spurs vs wutever garbage team comes out the east to prove the spurs can win 2 in a row as long as the rockets can't win a playoff series lets keep the champions in texas.
Calderon is an elite point guard now. He's up there with Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd. Not as good as some of them (I think Chris Paul is the best point guard in the league right now) but in my opinion he has graduated to that class. I'm so happy I picked him up in a hurry when TJ first went down. He now puts up 10-assist nights on a regular basis.
rafer can outbrick anyone in teh league yet gets 0 respect can u name a guard that can avg 10 bricks a game?? well besides luther "gimme" head rockets = worst guards in the league, thats averaging in mcgrady
Maybe the twolves were just hot. Lets not forget they beat the suns the other night. Boston is still suspect nevertheless.
Boston's X-factor is going to be Ray Allen. When Allen shoots good the Celts will be unbeatable, when he shoots terribly they can be had like tonight. Oh yeah, if Tony Romo leads the NFL in smiles, then Kendrick Perkins must lead the league in snarls, I wonder if he practices his tough guy routine in the mirror. Let it go Perk, you're tough, let it go.
They also just won at Golden State and were robbed by the refs at Denver the game before that. Telfair hit 3 late clutch shots tonight, making Rondo look pretty bad. The Celtics announcers really got on Rondo's case. This was the true definition of meltdown by the T-Wolves. First the 5 second violation and then the complete mess of a last possession. They had the game and gave it away.
KG missing the game takes the luster off the win for the Magic. But the last two minutes were awesome. Looked like another Magic foldo until Turkey-Glue drilled the buzzer-beater.
How about Rondo's post move on Dwight Howard, and then stealing the pass at the other end. It's the only time in my life I've ever said that a point guard looked "Hakeem-ish".
He got hurt. Also didn't play in the Magic game today. At one point the Magic were up by 16 but Boston made a comeback only to lose again on a last second three point shot by Hedo. edit: sorry should have read the whole thread... but I thought the end of the Celts game was good too. I watched the post game show as well. It's amazing the difference between them and our postgame show. and I still don't like their announcers. LOL
