[JB]

  Tonight will be the first game 7 for Celtics Stuff Live.

We will be joined by Scott Souza of the "Metro West" and the  
"Gatehouse New Service," who offers these comments and quotes in his  
today's article:

     { ...this is the first time most of them will have been through a  
Game 7 together. That is among the great unknowns as they face the  
make-or-break game where the legacy of a 66-16 season hangs in the  
balance.

     ``We know they are not going to lay down,'' offered Leon Powe,  
who will play in his first Game 7. ``We have to take what we want. You  
know the season could be over, but you have to have confidence in  
ourselves.''

     That confidence must extend to confidence in each other as well.  
The common threads between the three Celtics defeats in the series  
have been how help defense broke down and ball movement grinded to a  
halt as the Hawks rallied. That leads to more breakdowns like the ones  
in Friday's Game 6 loss.

     Allen gets criticized for taking a quick shot late, Kevin Garnett  
gets criticized for passing up two shots and Pierce gets criticized  
for not being around to be an option for those shots because of six  
fouls and a costly technical to boot.

     With that criticism nothing compared to what will come to three  
celebrated stars who have never won a title - and the coach who has  
never won a playoff series - should the upset happen today, Allen said  
that will not factor into what happens on the court.

     ``It is like taking the last shot of the game,'' he said. ``You  
don't think about it being the last shot. You shoot it like any other  
shot. It's just that, if you miss, there is no time left to shoot  
again.}
