Derrick Rose blocks it and is fouled! What a play!

Kharma, even if Rondo didn't touch the ball in the basket, he did touch the rim, so it's only fitting his shot was blocked.

JasonB, welcome to the message board...These games are not for the weak at heart.

How many chances do I get?

Another "Instant Classic"? Bet the damn rent! Here's hoping ESPN Radio's Chuck Swirsky, Comcast SportsNet Chicago's Neil Funk, CSN New England's Mike Gorman & TNT's Kevin Harlan have voices left to call Game 7 come 7p Saturday night in Boston...

Well I hate to admit it but I think Greeny may be right about this bein the greatest 7 game series of all time. If Game 7 comes down to a final possession then there will be no doubt about it

Ray Allen actually took over Ray Allen's body. He tied his own playoff record for 3s wow.

Well, it certainly would rank up there! I am hoping for another OT Saturday... maybe an ejection or two also. Then whoever wins gets swept 0-4 next round because they are too tired.

I went out to watch the second half. I can't imagine what I would have posted, had I been here. At the bar, I repeatedly remarked to my companions: "the Bulls are seriously fucking systematically destroying me; I can't take this shit." This shit is unbelievable. Literally. It's inconceivable how this series has gone, and the insane plays that have facilitated it. I'm honestly just shocked by the whole thing. Allen had one of the finest performances I've ever witnessed, and yet it hardly surprises me.

The record for overtime periods in a 7-game NBA series is destroyed; this new record probably will stand for decades, and I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if game 7 goes at least one extra period.

Because he was unguardable. Jesus Shuttlesworth was flat-out unstoppable, scoring the second-highest tally in NBA playoff history in a losing effort. The highest such tally, of course, was Jordan's effort against, of course, the Celtics. I was M-Fing that motherfucker all night.

Allen's shot over Noah was sick. Look at the ball trajectory.

Anyone think KG might be suiting up for game 7?

Im also interested in seeing if any suspensions will be handed out because of the scuffle in the first half.

I wouldnt mind it. If hes that hurt he would only hurt the Celtics.

Great series. Good game for Miller, Noah, and the block by Rose was outstanding.

I'm out.

this is april madness!

Is Rose getting a pass for missing two key free-throws at the end (don't get me wrong, I was ecstatic as I had the Celtics +3)?

_________________

Rose missing the 1st one was bad, missing the 2nd was the right thing to do even though I think he tried to make it. With no timeouts and 3 seconds left better for the Bulls for the clock to start running after the rebound than giving the Celts time to throw a long in-bounds pass with the clock not moving.

naturally, not having garnett hurts the celtics. but there are 3 other guys that helped them down the stretch last year that they clearly have not replaced: james posey, pj brown, and now, due to injury, leon powe. none of those guys strike the fear of god into you individually, but each filled very important positions that they have no answer for now. when your best big off the bench in crunch time is brian scalabrine, thats a problem. last year in the playoffs, it became ridiculously automatic to see pj brown turn and hit that little 10 ft jumper, the same jumper that perkins and big baby are struggling to make consistently. james posey was a legitimate threat to step outside and bang down a clutch 3. powe was the athletic floor runner who could finish. even sam cassell came up with some big shots: the same shots rondo just flat out refused to take last night. i dont think i have ever seen a point guard left THAT wide open on PURPOSE and still not take the shot.

all that being said, big baby is a good player, and has some great post moves, good hands and good footwork. his lack of height hurts him on the boards though. they really miss brown, posey and powe.

This has ben a fun series to watch, but both of these teams are pretty mediocre. And Vinnie and Doc are both bad at coaching basketball.
