Game 3

[asterix ninetynine]

The team did not do a good job reacting to Cleveland's home cooking either.  They seem to lose their aggresiveness on the road when they get hit with a lot of early fouls.  
I'm not complaining about the referees (although the fact that the C's shot TWO free throws in the first half does raise eyebrows) because I think we get the benefit of the doubt on a lot of calls at the Garden.  It's the team reacts that is key, and last night we just seemed to crawl into a shell.  Cleveland got away with a lot of fouls and they traveled pretty blatantly, but that's what you get at home.  The Celtics were in a hole pretty quickly, one that not many teams dig themselves out of.
Cleveland fans are great and very passionate. The Cavaliers feed off that energy so the good guys need to take the crowd out of the game.

I agree.  And he was important to the spirit and
swagger of this team, two things we haven't been
bringing on the road.
