Final chance

Posted by Ian Rider May 30, 2008 10:35 PM

Well the Celtics are going to need a big fourth-quarter comeback if they want to make their first appearance in the NBA Finals in 21 years tonight. It's win or go home ... and play a Game 7.

  • Just a few things ... Tayshaun Prince came alive and really shot the ball well in the third, I guess I shouldn't have mentioned how bad he was shooting. He really had a great quarter. That should do nicely.

  • Referee Bennett Salvatore called the first offensive block in NBA history on Pierce's would-be four-point play. That wasn't a huge call or anything.

  • KG and and Rondo spent a good amount of time on the bench in the third. Let's see if the C's can make a run at full strength to try and steal this one and head to Finals. Let's go C's!

    1. Congrats to the C's! There were some hair pulling moments tonight, as in many of the other contests throughout the series, but you really made believers out of us with that gutsy 4th quarter. After that horrendous offensive foul call on Paul, it seemed the deck was stacked against the green. Amazing resolve to turn things around!
