Sixers (6-19) at Celtics (20-4) 12/18

[Roy Hobbs]

Well if 'Sheed's ejected, Doc's hands are kinda tied on what he can do.  What else can he really do there unless he plays KG into the ground?

If you're going to have Scal in the game, you need to make sure there's other offensive firepower on the floor.  A coach just can't go with a lineup of Williams / Scal / Tony / House / Rondo and expect it to be successful.

[Who]

Can anyone explain to me why Doc pulled Ray for Eddie?

I still don´t get it, Ray kept us in the game for the last few posessions.

Time wasting? In between FTs before calling a timeout?

[BigBaby]

Wow we got embarrassed tonight. That was pathetic. The 76ers?! Wow. Just wow.

[celticinorlando]

the line up of scal, sheldon, tony, rondo and house was one of the worst line ups thy could have put out there...

[jdpapa3]

Yea, I'm fine if Sheed is out there with him, but the combo of Shelden/Scal is just too much to overcome offensively.

Shelden's play lately is making me yearn for the days of Glen Davis.

team better fix the rebounding issues soon because it is killing them

Yes Celtics are getting killed. 5 losses!  

I don't think this is the point, but whatever. the losses are going to come, but they should not be losing at home to bad teams when they have a 15-point lead. If this is not the wake up call that they need to bring a better effort at home, I don't know what will do it.

this is a bad sixers team...really bad...boston should be ashamed...and if they struggle again with the wolves on sunday then there are some issues

The Sixers aren't that bad with Speights in there.  In their last game, they were tied with the Cavs with four minutes left.

Sorry, it´s 4 am here...

Maybe Sheed will feel some shame for this lost and perhaps try not to get thrown out anymore. He would've been really useful in this game.

The Blame goes COMPLETELY on Rasheed----his mouth Finally cost us a game----2 techs, and we lose by 1........BUT, how do we get OWNED by THIS team?......Cause, we are SOFT SOFT SOFT----we need someone like Powe....Nothing but 1 on 1 Jumpers in the 2nd half----cause we are soft.

Oh, and the refs REALLY screwed us in the end....2 PHANTOM fouls lead to 3 points....I haven't been this p---ED since the 87 Finals--!!!

Too lazy to look, but what have the Sixers won this year, 6 games? It's a bad team.

the line up of scal, sheldon, tony, rondo and house was one of the worst line ups thy could have put out there...

When Perk finally came back into the game, Doc chose to keep Scals on the court instead of Sheldon. Sheldon just happened to be the only effective bench player in the 2nd half.

[MaxwellSmart86]

JUMPERS jumpers jumpers.....what was with that last play?....is it 2001?

[reggie35]

also, Bill Kennedy should not be allowed to ref ANY games, never mind Celtics games after his history with Doc.

I was referring to what Doc had available with front court possibilties.  'Sheed's ejection got Doc's hands tied.  

I agree that the above lineup certainly isn't desirable from just about any standpoint other than giving starters a short breather.
