So the Cavs (and LeBron) play like absolute crap and still only lose by four?

Man, the Celtics are a JOKE!

Even if they get past Cleveland, Detroit will kill them.

Okay and Pierce and Allen combine for 4 Points, and the Celtics still win the game behind garnett, Rondo, and Cassell. I am sure the next game Pierce and Allen will even out their scores and Lebron's points will go up, but that means Z will score less as well as Sczerbiak, so let's just see what happens before we label a 70-19(Including Playoffs) a Joke!

totally with you on this beantownballer....Pierce and Allen aren't going to combine for 4 points anymore....and Lebron won't only score 12 points the rest of the games, but the Celtics can afford to have 1 or 2 of their stars having an off-night....Cavs cant....Z and Wally can't keep up the pace....Celtics will blow right by them if Lebron doesn't step it up

Home teams are dominating the second round.

Chauncey Billups gets hurt and Orlando steamrolls Detroit. Series is 2-1 Detroit.

LA Lakers dominate their homecourt and beat Utah with ease. They lead 2-0

I still say Orlando should have been given three free points. Revenge is a dish best smashed into the other guy's ugly face.

Great Logic.....I guess I could say the same thing.....geeez, Pierce and Allen combine for 4 points and we still won...man the Cavs are a joke. (But notice I didn't) A win is a win at this point, and others stepped up when Paul and Ray didn't. (plus Pierce covers Lebron so of course he will be in constant foul trouble this entire series...hint hint)
Did you happen to notice that both teams played pretty bad, mostly due to the tough defense played on each end. Do you honestly think Ray-Ray and Pierce won't get their
18-20 points each tonight??
On the other side of that, it is doubtful that Wally and big Z shoot that well again, or that Rondo gets 15, so factor all of those aspects together.

I have a feeling that none of these games will be high scoring, and "there will be blood".

LOL, I should have read the next page before I posted, you guys beat me to it!

this should be a good defensive series (Cavs-Celtics)....like Insane_Irish said, should be fairly low scoring series....but a good one!

More like the Cavs should have a low scoring series, man you want to talk about jokes? Lebron's game So Far this Series is a joke!(I am not implying Lebron as a joke for all you people that thought I was.) Look what happened Allen and Pierce right their ship and bingo Celtics by 20 right now:) Anyways I think the Cavs will grab one but Lebron is gonna need to score more than 30 points a game and the Cavs need a miracle to win this series.

Cavs don't need a miracle to win the series...they are only down 2-0, if they win both games in Cleveland they are back in it just like that. Of course, in order for them to actually win, Lebron has to put effort into the game, the only player on the Cavs that looked like they were trying tonight was Ilgauskas, and he was one of the only players that seemed to be trying on Tuesday night also.

1st quarter over in San Antonio. Epic duel in progress...Chris Paul vs Tony Parker. 14 points to 10 points.
