Unless through some miracle the Celts manage to win Game 7 against Miami, they should be ashamed of themselves. That was not just a loss last night - it was a royal butt-kicking. The Celts had everything in their favor - playing on their home court, everyone healthy, a psychological edge from being ahead in the series, and the support of fans across the country hoping that the Celts would seize the opportunity to dethrone the evil Emperor James.Now they squandered that opportunity and will likely lose Game 7 as well. Just as last year, the weak Eastern Conference has not been able to stop Lebron and the Heat, and it's the team out of the West that has to save the league by getting the job done. Most probable outcomes going forward: Heat win Game 7; Thunder over the Heat in 6 games in the Final.

Good win by the Heat last night. I think the Heat win game 7, but we shall see. Good luck to both teams!

The Celtics had the same plight as every other team. This is a non story so whats the point?

Haven't practiced since April? How in the world is this good stratagy or coaching?

Luck and a lot of it apparently played a big part in this post season!

To fill FN! What's the point of commenting on a non story?

I see a non story and move on without comment! Makes my day not so dissapointing!

Not practicing was an obvious effort to save the legs and general energy level of the old **** on this team. I'm not sure I would blame last night's performance on that.

They could have easily made a game of it had they been able to drop the ball in the basket a few times. Peirce was awful, KG wasn't much better, Rondo was hoisting more bricks than a mason's tender etc.

I couldn't have said it better myself. The Celtics blew a golden opportunity. What are the odds they go into Miami and close it out? A coach told me a long time ago, "when opportunity knocks, you can't be in the shower."

LOL Looks like the Heat and OKC in the finals...not sure how a team that doesn't practice for almost two months makes it this far into the playoffs...LOL!
