Ok Boston Celtics, this seven game series garbage has got to stop!
Atlanta AND Cleveland took the Celtics to the mat. The cream of the 2008 NBA has stunk up the joint in two playoff series that should never have been as competetive. Boston played down to the level of their opponents. Yes, Cleveland is far superior to Atlanta, yet Cleveland wouldn't see the playoffs if they were in the West. (Hold the hate mail.)
Shocking in today's Game 7 was the point total. Both teams actually sniffed at 100 points. That was the heart stopper for me. Instead of watching the final minutes bored to tears at the brick laying, I paced the floor with a beer, then another.
Since when are players allowed to JUMP ON TOP OF opponents for a loose ball. You can't go through a dude for a rebound, so what's up with that! Two memorable loose ball exchanges resulted in a double technical and a double date. There were more peeps laying on top of each other than at an Indigo Girls concert. All that was missing was George "Scrap Iron" Skadaski or Ivan "The Polish Hammer" Putski!
Maybe this dude can make a shot and play D!
Hey Celtics, I've followed you guys for years and it's time for you to act like the East champs. It's too late for the garbage ball because the Pistons have been licking their chops waiting for you to bring your poor road play to their house. Who'd think that you could be b-slapped around by punk teams this playoff season. Today's Game 7 was far too close and you won't get another weak opponent. Step it up against Detroit or be crushed!
Ainge, get your butt down to the floor and give these guys a pep talk. Tell stories about your days vs. L.A. and playing with a great squad. Do something to motivate these fools! That tiny Most Valuable Executive trophy you received isn't worth squat if you lose. I have one just like it at the office and so do plenty of other dudes. If anyone wants one, they retail @ $29.95! Who will remember your 40 win improvement over last year if you continually play like a rec league team in the playoffs. Every other team is hungry and you're getting by on your 2007-8 wins rep. It's over baby. Step it up or get the fishing reels ready!
