08:08 AM ET 05.04 | Boston, beset by injuries all season, is again hurting. With Paul Pierce and Ray Allen already banged up, the last thing the Celtics needed was a hobbled Rajon Rondo. But in the fourth quarter of last night's 102-91 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Rondo was laid out on the baseline getting stretched by trainer Bryan Doo. Rondo was hampered by a back injury that began bothering him yesterday morning. He wore a wrap around his midsection during the team's morning shootaround, which he said kept his back warm. While Rondo downplayed the use of the wrap, it reappeared during Tuesday night's game. "His back was bothering him this morning," coach Doc Rivers said. "It was bothering him through the game. One time he asked to come out because he got tired."

Even if LBNique gets the title... he will never get any credit for earning it... buying it, stealing it maybe. But earning it? Never!

I don't see it as impossible by any means. but we need to step it up. We have two more chances to take one on their court as long as we hold our own.

I hear ya. To be honest, they lost bc They couldn't make a shot, and the heat were lights out to close the game. Thats NOT gonna happen every night. Home court, gotta protect it.
