Pierce and LeBron are having a nice little rivalry, they are really exciting to watch when they are guarding each other. I'm pissed the C's lost obviously, but man that was a great game.KEEP GOMES STARTING

I like to watch the Cavs beat them.It was mainly the Cavaliers fault that the game went into double over time. Eric Snow and LeBron James both had a nice game (James with a tripple double). Also Gooden had a great game.Overall, I was upset before each overtime, the free throws and defense at the end really hurt us.
I hope somthing happens so the Celtics can make the playoffs and then we can play each other, I hope plus he wont score 50 again trust me with Hughes back hes gonna socre maybe 15-20
