    The Celtics are such a tough, tough team.

    On another note, I swear I've seen Melo have this exact game against the Bulls a few weeks back!

    Green with 20 first half points.Has made two buzzer beating 3 pointers.
    Melo started off hitting everything but the Celtics have frustrated him
    in the last few minutes of the half. Hope the Celtics can keep it going.

    Refs are calling this one very strictly.

    How are other finding the quality? I find it's gotten poor in the second half, but maybe it's just my coverage? :mad:

    Celtic's have been cold in the second half, ice cold from the field.

    6 points in 13 minutes is not going to win you any playoff games,
    Disappointing 2nd half

    NBA League Pass on the big screen by way of Apple TV (so no HDMIs or messing around) = heaven.

    It might be the most entertaining series of the first round.

    Get in! Great d in the 2nd half, from kenyon in particular was the key. Job done, lets get the next one now. Looking forward to Denver v GSW now!

    If Noah's fit I would be disappointed if we didn't beat them over a series to be honest, but it seems he is really struggling so it's very hard to call. If Noah's alright I go Bulls in 6, if not I think a coin toss, too close to call and it will take 7 games. Hopefully we'll come out on the right side of it!

    Yeah tough now with Noah missing game 1, I assumed he was gonna at least start the series. That makes it more 50-50, and maybe tips it in the Nets' favour. You can see them trying to exploit this by going to Lopez more on offense. Nazr will have to step up, and do it while staying out of foul trouble. Don't need a Noah-like performance from him, but something decent.

    I vehemently disagree with anyone who acts like benches aren't that big of a deal in the playoffs, and that the game is always won by whoever has the better starters. Boston's bench gave them absolutely nothing while New York had guys like Kidd and K-Mart making smart plays at the end of the game. Having a good bench can without question push you over the top in any given game.

    Upset is possible in this Warriors-Nuggets series, watching the first half.

    Denver's going to need Faried to win this series. Koufos and McGee just aren't good enough for playoff basketball

    I think it was on Bill Simmons' podcast, but I heard a very good argument for the Warriors beating the Nuggets: basically saying that the team with the best player generally wins a best-of-7-series...and the best player in this series is Steph Curry.

    Now I think that's a bit simplistic, especially when you take into account how GSW can undo some of his most awe-inspiring one-man efforts and still lose, but it's food for thought nonetheless. Can he take them far enough to do something special? Nah, that's a massive reach. But one play-off upset against, oh I dunno, a team with one of their best players sidelined is definitely doable...

    I wouldn't agree that McGee isn't good enough, he's just not consistent enough, he makes some boneheaded plays, but can win you games with his pure atlethesism! I wouldn't have believed you before the game if you told me before the game that Curry would go 1 for 10 and that GSW would be leading. I still fancy the nuggets in this one though

    I'm with you on that. Knicks bench had 33 and Celtics had 4. Huge, huge difference and ultimately what decided the game as the Celtics only scored 8 points in the 4th.

    Altitude looks like its taking its toll on Curry right now, he looks gassed. Lee breathing heavily too.

    ..And the Nuggets class beginning to show. No wonder they have won 23 straight at their gym.


    Altitude surely a factor for their home record?

    Ah, so that is the difference between regular season and play offs. Denver really really really really have to improve on the free throws.Still they are going strong now. That is some bench! Even McGee is doing decent. But, if they get past the Warriors, they are in serious trouble
