Live Blog Cavs/Celtics

KG WITH AN EMPHATIC BLOCK! 24 sec violation as Boston seems to have woken up.

KG with the very friendly bounce on the fadeaway! LEBRON RESPONDS! He has 17 points!

The Celtics have a hard time getting easy baskets! Lebron draws the foul... Makes the first..and the 2nd.

A terrible turnover by Boston and Lebron is fouled!!

Lebron is back to the line..

He drains the 1st.. and the 2nd. 12 point CAV LEAD.

LEBRON HITS!!! LARGEST LEAD OF THE GAME!

RONDO WITH A HUGE 3! 9 pt game,

RONDO WITH ANOTHER TREY!!! IT'S DOWN TO 6! GOOD BALL MOVEMENT THAT TIME! ANOTHER TO FROM THE CAVALIERS. PIERCE DRIVES AND IS FOULED! The Cavaliers may have missed their opportunity to put their foot in the Celtics throat.

10 unanswered by Boston!

WEST with a big 3!! The role players have stepped up big for the Cavs so far.

KG with an awful attempt. Still Boston ball.

Garnett makes up for it!

Pierce with a lay-up!! West's attempt is blocked at the end of the half. We're at the half. 46-43 Cleveland! Huge response from Boston at the end of the half after they looked disinterested most of the way,

I would really love to see Lebron take his Cavs back to the finals. But, I believe Detroit is going to the finals this year. They are on fire right now, and I don't think the Cavs or Celtics will be able to stop them (especially if they get Chauncey back).

I feel that Boston has been exposed somewhat by Atlanta and Cleveland. Garnett, Allen and Pierce are showing their age in this series. Pierce has averaged only 12.5 ppg this series. Not quite the Paul Pierce we're used to.

Ray Allen HAS TO get going here in the second half!

AND ON CUE, HE TIES THE GAME!!! Cleveland is turning the ball over too many times, they are letting the crowd back into this one. Lebron is fouled on the baseline.

A BAD PASS!

RONDO TAKES IT ALL THE WAY AND THE CELTS LEAD!!

AND THEN A 3 SEC VILATION BY THE CAVALIERS!

WHAT A PLAY BY RONDO TO GET IT TO GARNETT!!

Delonte is fouled on his way to the hoop. It's on Perkins.

A scramble for the ball and the foul will be on Perkins. He now has 3 fouls!

RONDO ALL THE WAY TO THE HOOP! He has been the spark!

Big Ben with a wild lay-up over KG!

And then it's Pierce with a three!!!

RAY ALL THE WAY!!! It is a 5 point Boston lead and the Cavs need to talk! What a comeback by Boston as they were seemingly against the ropes.

It is Turnover City for the Cavaliers!! And as Ray Allen makes both, this could be more trouble for them as Allen will now have his rhythm.

Perkins blocks Lebron!!

And on the other end, Perkins is fouled!!

what it be like....its about time for my cameo

Trizz, what are your thoughts on the game so far? It seems as if Boston has regained it's bearings after being outplayed earlier.

of course they did but im more concerned with game six and see if they can winnnnnnnn oooon the rooooooad </boyz II men voice>

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Baby!!!!!!! Finally Doc is listening

Joe Smith is fouled:

He misses the 1st, makes the 2nd. It's amazing how their play drops off once they dawn the road uniforms.

GARNETT!

Davis with a quick score

To Glen Davis, that is. Anderson Varejao is on the line: I got to be honest, I don't see Sam Cassell getting many more minutes with the way he's playing and with Rondo thriving right now.

GARNETT TO PIERCE!!!! DOUBLE-DIGIT LEAD!

Cavs pulling a Memphis Tigers....gotta hit those free ones

RONDO WITH A TEARDROP!! Lebron finally scores here in the 3rd!

Lebron finally scores...

A foul could have been called on Gibson. End of the 3rd. It is a 72-63 Boston lead! This is the NBA ON A G M!

There is a very good chance that the three remaining series in the 2nd round could go 7 games! This is playoff basketball at it's best!

The Cavs seriously had this game. But with each turnover, they just threw it into Boston's heads. It's not over yet, but they look demoralized. Boobie Gibson heads to the lockerroom. Not good.

Trizz, is it driving you crazy right now that the stars aren't in the game to put the finish to the Cavs? And on cue, here's KG!

Big Baby over Varejao! Joe Smith with a hook over KG. The Cavs are within 8. Lebron is needed now.

Rondo is playing that point position tonight!! KG is the recipient!

AIRBORNE!!!!!!!!! HAAA HAAAA!!! BIG BABY!! We'll be back in a moment!

See i told you Rondo can get it done

Glen Davis needs to play more minutes. This team lacks energy at times, especially on the road. Glen Davis needs to play more minutes in Game 6 if I were Doc Rivers.

before the all star break davis was a potential starter and he gets no love now...he should've played last series he could handle Josh Smith

RONDO WITH ANOTHER TEARDROP!! TIMEOUT CLEVELAND! It is an 82-70 lead for the Cavs. Back in a moment.

The Cavs have officially become Memphis. 9 MISSED FTS tonight! Pierce extends the lead!!

West steals and feeds to Lebron! Looks like he walked.

no travel??? i guess the refs wanted to see a dunk

Give up Cleveland!! Start focusing on game 6. If you win game 6, then you get to go back home, and you know how bad Boston has been on the road this postseason.

Delonte makes Both, Lead is down to 8! KG TO THE RACK!!!

RONDO IS THE MVP OF THIS GAME!! 20 points! Lebron is fouled!

This is Rondo's eff you Cassell game

I don't usually do this, but since this game looks to be just about over, I think it's time for a little self-promotion.

Last night Detroit advanced, beat out the Orlando Magic in 5 games. Check out my newest article about the game, and series, if you like.

http://www.a...-Bye_Orlando

I like Brian Scalabrine's look tonight. What a shame, He is on IR. He's another energy guy, DOC!

Friends dont let friends watch cable lmao

WHAT A HORRIBLE PASS BY POSEY!!!! SIT DOWN!!

AND THEN PIERCE MISSES THE LAY-UP AND TENSION FILLS THE ARENA!

BUT WALLY WITH A POOR ATTEMPT!

Wally just killed the final comeback attempt

Pierce misses the FT. They are letting Cleveland breathe here! 1 of 2.

Lebron is fouled and he will head to the line!

He misses the 1st!!! 13 misses on the night for the CAVS.

1 OF 2.

WTF

A TURNOVER BY THE CELTICS AND WEST GOES TO THE LINE! HORRIBLE BALL-HANDLING BY ALLEN! CELTICS ARE NOT FINISHING THIS GAME WELL AT ALL!

It is down to a 4 point game! NOT OVER YET IN BOSTON!

time for the dagger

OFFENSIVE REBOUND!! AND A FOUL!! Cleveland has blown so many opportunities tonight. Great play by Allen! Pierce makes the 1st...and the 2nd.

all i know i dont want to spend ANOTHER sunday watching a C's game 7

GAME 6 is more a must win for the Celtics then the Cavs. They have got to win a ROAD GAME JUST FOR THEIR PSYCHE ALONE! Not to mention limiting the rest Detroit gets.

time to Pierce to pad the stats...

WEST with a critical error, BALL GAME!

5 sec. violation...wow thats jus inexcusable

Game is under way in L.A, I'll be out, Time to study.

BOSTON WINS!!! 96-89, YOUR FINAL SCORE. It is now a 3-2 Boston lead. Cavs are home for Game 6.

PEACE OUT!
