And according to Tommy & Mike, the 76er statistician said that he is very embarrased about this game 'cuz it was definitely 8 vs. 5. 

That's according to the 76er statistician ... so that confirms that the REFs were absolutely horrible tonight.

Too bad the celtics are sick and a little banged up/rusty going into a game against the lakers with another win streak at stake..bad timing

I want to play them banged up or shorthanded in some form.

That way we nullify the built in Bynum excuse.

I guess I wasn't paying attention enough, I saw some bad calls including some of those awful non-calls on Pierce but I feel like we've had worse officiated games this year. Golden State on the road was ridiculous in the 4th.

Does anyone here think Bynum is as good as the national media/ LA media? i mean he's defenitly not that consistant or tough. they always put up stats about how he avg's 30-12 over the past 3 days or something ridiculous. he's obviously a good center but he's not the next dominating force for the purple and gold.

Well, we're winning the end of every quarter.

If it comes down to a buzzer beater, I like our chances.

Called it

Ray Allen. Cash.

That is all.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Didn't watch the game, but I guess Ray was clutch.

If that game can't convince you of Ray's importance to the Celtics' success this year, nothing will.

Crossing my fingers on that All-Star slot.

Hopefully! What a game to miss. Sounds like it would have been very frustrating to watch. BBD with 41 minutes? Wow that is the stat that jumps out at me the most!

This was one of the more satisfying wins of the season, IMO. 

*On the road against a division rival that had been playing great ball of late
*no KG
*very sloppy play in the 2nd quarter got the crowd into it, but the team didn't fold
*inconsistent officiating
*never felt like one of those games that the team was gonna pull out, especially after Williams got that "and 1" with a couple minutes to go.
*perfectly executed play to win it, wiping the smiles and fake swagger off the faces of the Sixers players
