Welp Bruins season is over at the TD Garden.

I think it's a grim preview for the basketball team from Boston at the TD Garden tomorrow

No. Sixers pull away in the 2nd half and win by double digits. Writing is on the wall.

I usually can tell by the halftime if we are going to win or lose.  It comes down the being able to see which Celtic team shows up (play hard or lazy) and if our three are falling.

One team playing their best basketball at the right time. The other team can?t make any adjustments to stop it. You have confidence this coaching staff will make the right moves today? I don?t at all. It will be the same Tatum and Brown dribble dribble dribble , go one on one with everybody else standing around. Bad 3 pointer or turnover. The rotations won?t change a bit and that?s it. Sure, I hope I?m wrong.  But I have a bad bad feeling.

First Take: Kendrick Perkins is impressed with the 76ers and believes Philadelphia will win Game 7.

Reasonable. Boston is certainly the underdog for game 7. I don't care what Vegas says.

Yeah I have no clue how on earth the C's are favored by 8.5 points

sixers +6.5 on FD
FIRE JOE NOW!

If they come out playing lazy in a Game 7 then Joe should be fired for failing to prepare them.

That said I think they will come out hard. The question is will they be able to execute, because their game plan ensures that fans will be frustrated 65% of the time (if they shoot 35% from 3).

This is actually a good thing. And I know how that looks. But Now they can go back to way they played all year long, moving the ball everybody contributing. Now Joe has to use his bench. And they will step up. I?ve changed my pick. Celtics win tonight.

I hope you are right. You really think Joe is going to extend his bench? Not a chance. All this means is JB can play hero ball and shoot the Cs out of the game. White is missing. Sam is unplayable.

So now we have to count on Baylor, Hugo, Walsh? Those guys can't carry the load.

For years we all joked about Tatum playing every game after he was listed as questionable. We cheered the act that he never missed games even after long play-off run after long play-off run followed by multiple Olympics.

Got to be a bit worried that all those minutes are starting to catch up to him.

Well if Brown lays another stinker then I think his future here may be in doubt. The conversation will at the very least be had.

Agree. Part of me hopes tonight is his last game in Boston. Lose this series and Brad needs to make major changes to a roster that cannot get it done anymore. He would be the biggest piece to move.

There?s also a good argument to be had that we wouldn?t even be in this position without Brown playing like he did all season. I?m not prepared to discard him on the basis of two bad games. He seems to be the fall guy for the team though.

He had a great regular season. But he has been pretty bad in this series and for the most part that is his norm in the playoffs (other than the title year. If the Cs don't win tonight, I am not sure they can bring this roster back next year. Just has shown not to be good enough. JB would allow them to have a trading chip.

JB seems to be a better player away from JT.
