Posey slams it down after a double-team dish by Pierce to make it 26-22 Boston.

Join in, you know you want to!

...hello?

So... how bout them Mets?

I'm not watching

actually, I'm so into the series that my roommate walked into my room and said "are you watching anything, because I'm gonna watch American Idol"

I said "No"

McDyess is looking pretty good for Detroit so far. Ten points, and 7 rebounds, already just 3 rebounds away from a double-double. Glad to see him step up.

I wasn't seriously going to live-blog the whole thing... I swear...

I am soooo disappointed in Rasheed Wallace. He was supposed to step up, and dominate for us. But, Rip Hamilton had to in the last series. Come on Rasheeeeeeed!!

Chef Boy Ar Dee, you truly are a master chef...

I am watching the Phils-Nats game

its frustrating because

a) the phillies aren't hitting

b) The nationals have the worst booth guys this side of Keith Hernandez

House with a longer 2 pointer to make it 30-24, as I burn my tongue on spaghetti-o's and meatballs...

Rasheeeeed with the Free Throw!!!

There's the Rasheed Wallace face.

What up! I'll provide analysis, You can do the play by play.

Boston calls a timeout, game tied at 32 apiece.

I'll just add witty, hilarious comments.

It just seems like Ray Allen have lost all confidence in his shot.. He needs to find it and soon!

Detroit needs some production from Rip, and Chauncey. Not to mention the bench, who has scored just 6 points, so far.

Greg Dobbs drives in the tie-breaker in the 9th wow!

McDyess is back in the game!!!

It'll be interesting to see how Stuckey does, He started the last two games of the last series. How does he carry that experience over to this one?

Let's stay out of foul trouble, pretty please...

I like Prince's aggressiveness. He should be taking more shots as he is a decent offensive player. He'd open things up for Billups and Hamilton.

Boston's points tonight, just like we've seen in the previous 2 series have been hard to come by. Their shots have been contested and that's mainly why Detroit has come back after their bad start.

You guys ever hear the Brian Regan standup: "Since when are we supposed to take Chef Boy ArDee seriously as Italian food? When have you gone into an Italian restaurant and been like... "Yes... I will take the fettuccine. And.. we'll have some beefaroni for the lady." Hilarious.

Man, Detroit is killing Boston in FT% (86.7%, 42.9%).

KG with a great first half. Pierce and Garnett are on. Now it's time for a third man, mainly a guy by the name of Ray Allen to step up.

And a Bill Belichick sighting {projectile vomiting}

41-40 Boston at the half :(

But isn't there is a small fraction of you that is a bit worried that he might bring the bad karma onto this series?? I hope Bill Buckner isn't in the building! I'm sorry, I'm still very happpy over the SB win.. I just can't help myself.

This game has been pretty even thus far.

Does anyone else dislike Stuart Scott a great deal?

I think Boston had a chance to deliver an early KO and missed. They are going to have to get better shots because Detroit will have more energy down the stretch unless they have a mental lapse.

Second half should be starting up pretty soon.

Who's everyone got in the Finals??

I had Lakers/Celtics, but I'm not so sure. Pistons have a much better shot now in my view.

Ray Allen must get to the line, and get there often. Good thought process.

Great ball movement, that are the easy hoops Boston needs!

Who do you think deserved the MVP more, Kobe, or Chris Paul???

It's a tossup, but I think without Paul, the Hornets would have been mediocre. His impact on the team is unparalleled. Kobe did have his best all around complete year in terms of scoring, finding his teammates and defense. Paul will get an MVP one day. But I felt he deserved it a tad more than Kobe. But Kobe never had one, so I knew it would go to him.

Foul from one Uconn alum to another.

GREAT PLAY BY RONDO! And Rasheed is unhappy with a foul call {Surprise, Surprise}

McDyess with a double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds).

Rasheed has become such a liability that they have to bench him so he dosen't lose his mind and get a tech!

Mcdyess has had a great game! But these are numbers and I don't mean to get on Rasheed again, but these are numbers that Wallace should be putting up.

Detroit is turning the ball over WAY TOO MUCH. 6 for the quarter AND THEY PAY FOR IT!

Boston is slowly running away with this one. You're letting me down Rasheed. Stop getting so mad, and play the damn game. Boston lead is now 8.

Where are you Chauncey??? Just 4 points in 25 minutes?! That's unacceptable...

What else is new with Rasheed. Rasheed has the ability to be as good as anyone in this league and he continues to has his head somewhere else.

I think it was a great move for Doc Rivers to put Eddie House in the rotation as well as P.J Brown. My boy Glen Davis loses minutes but P.J Brown has made some big plays as of late.

HOUSE WITH A DAGGER AT THE END OF THE QUARTER!

Eddie House gives Boston their biggest lead of the game, 69-57. End of 3rd Quarter. Twelve minutes to play here in game number 1.

UGLY air ball by Detroit. I am pretty embarrassed right now.

HUGE 3 by Hunter!

P.J Brown has Wallace's number right now on Defense. He is hoisting up some bad shots!

Boston can't seem to put the final nail in Detroit's coffin. AND RASHEED HITS! 2nd Fg of the night.

This is what Rasheed is capable of doing ALL DAY if his head was in the game. Two J's in a row.

Quick question, Who should the Bulls take at #1?

2 TURNOVERS IN A ROW, POSEY TO RONDO, DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD!

Billups and Hamilton ON THE BENCH?!?!?

Stuckey cuts it to 6!! Game is far from being over!

RONDO WITH THE DAGGER! Double Digit lead!

I give up!! I'm tired, and Rasheed keeps missing shots (3/10 FG), and committing fouls. I'm out!

In an if anyone cares announcement: Kristi Yamaguchi won Dancing with the Stars with Jason Taylor finishing 2nd.

My mom just called me to tell me, I don't care either, by the way.

BALL MOVEMENT AND IT'S RONDO WITH THE THREE!! BALL GAME!

PIERCE WITH THE FINISHING TOUCH!

BASKET COUNTS! BALL GAME! Boston takes a 1-0 lead with an 88-79 win over Detroit. KG with 26 points and 9 boards, completely dominating Wallace. Pierce had another final game. Rondo had the edge on Billups tonight. And Boston is three games away from the NBA finals. Good night, folks!
