at 2-2 versus the Cavs, I still wouldn't be surprised to the C's go down in 6. They're old.

It all comes down to Rondo at this point. He's the reason we blew them out in game 2 and the reason for the win today. Maybe a top 10 playoff performance in Celtics history.

29 pts, 18 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals. unbelievable game.

Being a celtics fan i originally thought they would lose 4-2, just too old to keep up they gave game 1 away and should be up 3-1 right now. Being in Orlando i see alot of the Magic and trust me they are still way under the radar for whatever reason they are just overlooked, all u need to know is this the magic beat both the celtics yes with no KG and the Cavs last year both in the playoffs without Jameer Nelson so i think they would still beat them both 4-2 for the cavs and 4-1 for boston, florida teams just have bostons # the rays own the redsox and the magic own the celtics.Looks like lakers magic again.

Not a hyper-fan but keep watching. Expected the rest of the Cavs to show up...but didn't see much..except for Parker. Thought Boston's lack of bench usage(tall center = Williams in with 2nd-squad) would be their end but with Cleveland's willingness to just hang out at the 3pt-line and show a lack of interest in moving/sharing/(pick-roll/pop..etc)the ball towards the hoop = looks like the series is a dead heat.

Apparently tonight Lebron is going to cover Rondo quite a bit. If Pierce can't exploit the mismatch that creates for him, I think the C's lose big.

Big Three all came up big. Thought the combination of Pierce and Tony Allen did a great job defending the King. Once Ronda got going in the 3rd the whole team was unstoppable. When they play like that, they can beat anyone. 9 more wins

Arnold Jacob Auerbach was born as one of four children of Marie and Hyman Auerbach. Hyman was a Russian Jewish immigrant from Minsk, Belarus, and Marie Auerbach, née Thompson, was American-born. Auerbach Sr. had left Russia when he was 13, and the couple owned a deli and later went into the dry-cleaning business.

Arnold Jacob "Red" Auerbach is looking down on his beloved organization!!

u know anything about college hoops?

no

don't watch it. Shot clock is way too long. It bores the heck out of me watching players pass up open looks for 35 seconds only to hoist up a bad shot.

Also, growing up in the suburbs of Boston, college sports are not on the radar for the most part. I have one college sports memory from my youth, the Flutie hail mary pass. Only reason we were watching was because my father is a BC alum.

8 more

wow, house money now

even if the C's get wiped out by Orlando, even if they beat them then lose in the Finals; tonight's series win against the Cav's was one of the more pleasurable in my life long love for the Celts.

It's kind like if Tom Watson won the British or Master's. They're OLD. They were already old when they won the title 2 years ago. That team was the oldest team to win the finals in terms of the top three scorers - the Big Three. To see a rejuvinated KG come to play while Rajon Rondo took the reigns of the team and knock off the best player in the game and team with the best regular season record? damn special.

I expect Pierce to really step up in the Orlando series. If they win and make the Finals, he solidifies himself as the best player in his draft class. Ealry career he played with a HUGE chip on his shoulder for being selected 10th. With a series win, he can put to bed any argument that Dirk Nowvitski or Vince Carter had better careers.

Great to see them beat down Legone and Queen james and crew tonite. I promise u orlando is tough i honestly thought the celtics would lose to the cavs 4-2 i think the same thing about the magic i hope im wrong again. If the magic dont make 3's they are beatable if they do we have no chance they move the ball around alot and rondo will have his hands full with nelson hes a sick shooter and all over the place.
