Um, no?

for one, LeBron and Boobie are really close friends.

For two, it proves we do have the depth needed to compete at the highest level. Simply put, if you're not getting it done, another guy is here to take your spot.

For three, LeBron wants to win. If playing Boobie gives us a better chance, then play him. This is about winning a title, not sticking with a guy who hasn't gotten the job done in two postseasons so far.

Again, Boobie had a game against Detroit in the ECF that clinched the East for us better than ANY game Mo has had in his postseason career. Boobie was a ROOKIE.

I don't understand how he's rotting on the bench.

I'm just asking to see Boobie more.. I was speaking out of frustration when I said Mo needs to get the hell off the court.

And Z has had it? Funny, I jsut read an interview from him yesterday which BW wrote about and how he and Boobie have accepted their roles and just "try to stay ready"

I also doubt Shaq is pissed about PT, he's accepted his role as well.

LOL.. The refs killing Boston? Really? The Celtics? You're an idiot and probably the biggest homer on here.

You only show up on Boston wins, go figure.

What do you base that on? Other than game one, each team has shot the same number of free throws. I've seen bad calls go both ways. Today they gave LBJj an and one that was bs. I also saw Andy make a clean block in crunch time that was called a foul.

All in all...the series has been officited without any bias towards any team.

Excuse me ALL I said was being in foul trouble was killing us... Quit trying to put words into my mouth.... Excuse me for not wanting to listen to a few cocky cavs fans who have done nothing but talk shit all year long... Pretty confident for a franchise with no titles! .... I was disgusted as hell at the effort Boston brought in game 3, it was flat out terrible but you guys never see those things I say you just point out the "homer" stuff... Don't act like you saying stuff like ohh this series wont last long, them old guys wont bring much competition ... GIVE ME A BREAK... I'm called a home b/c there are only like 2-3 Celtics fans on this site and I'm the only one who constantly talks on here...... Boston has outplayed the Cavs pretty much 3 out of the 4 games and I could CARE LESS what everyone on here thinks of me and how I feel about this series b/c you know what no matter the outcome I'm a Celtics fan, always have been and always will be!!! Lets see how many cavs fans there are whenever LeBron leaves b/c I guarantee you'll see half empty arena's again

If you are talking about the block on KG(I think?) it was not a clean block by any mean. And seriously, KG got called for a 100% phantom foul on Andy while Andy was falling out of bounds.

I said there's been a few bad calls both ways. What exactly is your problem here?

Watching the game today....I noticed a few gifts going the Cavs way. I also saw a few go the other way.

The shot that I'm talking about was 100% all ball by AV. There was no body...no nothing. It was a horrible call...one of the worst I've seen this season. To hear the Celt fans piss and moan is a joke. And the idea that LBJ gets special treatment is really obnoxious. LBJ got whistled 4 times today for fouls.
