Three losses at home already?  Other teams seem very comfortable at The Garden. That's not good.

Yeah, I definitely don't like that. We are better record wise on the road that at home...

It seems that homecourt doesn't mean anything anymore.

Yeah, that last two years it was hard to beat the Celtics at home.  Now, not so much. :-[

Another loss at home! And to a bad team. >:(

I believe the refs had a hand in it and Sheed too, but they still should have won this game.  You can't let Philly get that close or you risk the refs taking the game away from you.

What is going on with this team at home?

Definitely.

I'm getting tired of hearing Pierce saying in postgame that they should play better at home and make the other teams fear them in Boston because so far it's only been words and no acts. Make something about it instead of saying you will, [dang].

Other teams come in the Garden and play with a LOT of confidence. The Celtics must react quickly before the entire league gets a win in our building and feels like this is an easy place to win games.
