Not Even a Hint of a 4th-Quarter Run

They started the fourth quarter with 72 points, and for over five minutes, Celtics fans wondered whether Team Green would end the quarter and the game with 72 points as well. Even with LeBron James taking a nap on the bench, the Celtics couldn't get a sniff at the basket, despite taking three freebies during the time span. Rasheed Wallace was missing both inside and outside. Meanwhile, former Celtic Leon Powe played 7 minutes for the Cavs and scored six points.

A lot of Celtics fans were mad that the Green signed Shelden Williams to replace Powe. Other Celtics fans argued, no, Sheed will replace Leon Powe. Well the fact is, Leon Powe can do more on one leg than either of them can do on two.

How about this. The Celtics got into the penalty in the fourth quarter before they even scored a point.

Ryan said...

Really didn't like that lineup to start the fourth. Why not have at least one of your main guys out there when Lebron is resting? No reason why one meaningful minute should go by where at least one of the big 3 is on the court.

Ryan said...

should be "is not on the court".

Matty said...

agreed! thought we could have done better than that!

Lex said...

Still rooting for the Celtics.

But if they can't do it, rooting for the Cavs and whoever plays the lakers in the west.

Ryan said...

Yeah. Will definately be rooting against the Lakers. Though rooting for the Cavs will be like 1988 when I had to root for the Pistons in the finals. So painful having to root for Bill Laimbeer.

Lex said...

Ryan, do you dislike the cavs because of all the lebron hype?

I really don't mind him.

Ryan said...

I might be stretching it a bit. I really disliked the Pistons (though it's nothing compared to my hatred for the Lakers). I personally have nothing against Lebron. It kind of rubs me the wrong way how he seems to have bought into his hype (the "Chosen One" tattoo) but there's no doubt he is a great ball player. I think it was more the tight series a couple years ago that made me dislike the Cavs as a rival. Though I will say I hate Varajao (and am willing to admit that I'd probably love him if he were a Celtic).

Lex said...

Yeah, I didn't like the Pistons either. But Rodman was an amazing athlete. I can't tell you how pissed I was when they were up 3-2 in 88 and still lost.

Ryan said...

I'd probably compare the current Cavs to the Pacers in the early 90's. I didn't like them at the time but it's hardly a deep seeded hatred that I held onto for many years after.

I'm rooting for the Mavs or Denver to take out the Fakers. I'll root for the Celtics until they aren't playing any more and then I'll root against the Cavs and the Fakers. If it is a Cavs and Fakers finals I refuse to watch.

FLCeltsFan said...

I thought it was a mistake not to sign Leon then and I still think it's a mistake. Leon has heart. That can never be underestimated. Seems the current Celtics have misplaced theirs.

Lex said...

heart and grit and determination

Lex said...

Boy, I just don't have the anti-cav emotion.

I did really dislike chuck person, though.
