Rondo is amazing !!!!!!! Go Celtics !!!!

Easy ese, any drivel that comes out of the Celtics' mouths can be matched or exceeded by Ron Artest.

I was giddy to see that Rondo got worked by a guy 12 years his senior, and that Ray Allen, who we repeatedly have heard can turn it on anytime but is too much the team player to care about his scoring, flippin TANKED. Seemed to me like it was the Lakers against Kevin Garnett, and that's absolutley fine by me.

the big 3 is just too old to bring it every game anymore. one guy would have a good game, tank the next etc. if they're in sync with rondo they'd run the lakers out of the building. neither team has really played their A game and game 3 was very choppy with no flow at all (maybe thanks to the refs).

i'm guessing the celts are missing eddie house now with their outside game totally dependent on the hot/cold ray allen.

As a Celtics fan it's too early to panic, but Pierce has been awful and we have no answer to Gasol and Bynum on the inside. If Kobe can turn it up another notch it could get very ugly; even if he can't, it's over unless Pierce starts playing better.

Fisher was money, good to see KG finally do something besides defense but Celtics needed to win that game. Now they have to blow out the Lakers or it's gonna be over.

with Bynum missing the entire 2nd half last night, the Lakers looked like a different team and Big Baby looked like an All-Star!

Neither team is playing that great. And, I agree, Rondo is making Celtics fans forget Bob Cousy. This is probably the "Big 3" last chance for a Celtics championship. They did win the title two years ago, so their big trade worked out that year. The Lakers are not getting support from their bench and that's one of the reasons they lost two years ago. I'm not sure the Celtics can beat them in Los Angeles, but we shall see.

Celts did what they had to do last nite, played tough def (finally the refs let them play) made Bryant work every minute, contested for rebounds on both ends. LA looked tired in the 4th period mainly because the starters were out there all nite. Bynum`s knee will play a huge part in game 5 Sunday. Neither team has played very well and the difference, and I think it`s going 7, will be which team can play to their potential for an entire 48 minutes. Would really prefer 2-2-1-1-1 format but it is what it is. P S didn`t really care for the "Zen Master`s " thinly veiled shot at "coaching to emotion". Expect many mood candles and music to be in the LA locker room Sunday.
