Hey Bank, now that Chamaco Cartero has gone quiet, how do you think the Boston/Raptors thing is gonna end? I think Ibaka is doing a great job. Tatum too, but not enough the last two games.
Chamaco, you got my permission to come back. Just try to make some sense and write something other than heh and lol. Also, you’ll be safe with Uncle Joe protecting you, so don’t you worry about nothin, you hear?
Carlos-Before the series I thought the Celts in 6, now let's say some doubts have crept in. Earlier today I posted in another forum that I didn't know who was going to win tonight but I expect a rock-fight, a tough physical game with D dominating O, but it was uglier than I thought. But that I would not write-off the Raps, they are tough and tested and could easily win the series. I'm not happy that I was right.
Celts couldn't hit shit, had trouble with Raps D, (20% from 3s-is pretty bad) and Brown had a miserable night. If he had just a bad night, they probably win.
But most troubling was a lack of intensity from the Celts-or desire or something. they seemed flat when they should have been pumped and pissed about G3.
Game 3 and OG's 3 swung this series hard.
I think the Celts wil play a lot better in G5, whether they shoot better, or can re-assert themselves I don't know anymore than you. But the effort had better be there or I'll be pissed.
I think the loss of Gordo is showing up now. they could use his all-around abilities. Spilled milk.
But mo has clearly swung and the Celts have to punch back.
Tatum had a brutal G3 but was ok tonight. Kemba was invisble and only took about 10 shots, he can't be passive, he needs to shoot. They need Tatum-Kemba-Brown-Smart contributing to win this thing.
best 2 of 3 and these teams are pretty even.
But I expect another low-scoring tough game in Game 5, but hopefully with the Celts showing some FUCKING EMOTION!
