I agree. While tonights game is important, it isnt a must win as we can still win the following 2 in NY if we lose tonight, bring it back to 2-2 then try to take either game 5 or 7 in Boston.
It would obviously be harder to win the series if we lose tonight, but it wouldnt be impossible IMO either. Important game, but not a must win.
I think if we can win this game and game 3 at home then we will win the series. If we don't it doesn't nessicarily mean we won;t but it would be muchhh harder
We were supposed to be able to score at least a 100 pts a game on this old dried up team. We barely scored 85 in game 1. If that is any indication of how the series is going to go, (defensive) then it favors Boston. They are the Masters of winning those Low Scoring UGLY playoff games. They struggle to only avg 90 a game but I figured they would score close to 100 on us each game bec of our D. Lets face it, low scoring halfcourt games dont suit us. Now with Billups not there to set up Melo and Amare, and having to lean on someone with no playoff exp we could be in trouble. I hope he steps up.
I really wish we got those calls at the end of game 1. Rightfully that game should have been ours had it not been for all those horrible calls. That way tonights game without Chauncey would not be as HUGE. We would already be up 1-0, letting billups rest, and if we happened to get a great game out of TD and win it. WOW. ICING on the CAKE up 2-0. BUt with those HUGE questionable calls or noncalls going against us, it makes this game so much more important that we get a win and have to do it without the floor leader.
I just hope we get some breaks tonight and pull out a win. Then MSG will be rocking for game 3
chucked a sickie today so i could watch the game.
Vengence!!!!!
Its gametime!!! Im really enjoying the playoff game threads too. To hell with Boston and the refs. Lets put up 130 and blow they a** out (PAUSE)
not worried about TD running point for one reason; Chauncey Billups.
CB has been mentoring TD and with his play-off experience i feel Tony will be much better
God damn it TD, don't just backpeddle on Rondo, get in his face.
2 foulz in the first for TD...smh
shooting like **** and allowing them to lay the ball up
Wow TD let Rondo get hot by playing piss poor D, the C's are at their best when Rondo is hot.
This is what means to not have Billups smfh.. Anybody doubting his value now??
