Celtics (38-21) at Sixers (22-38) 3/5

looks like tonight is one of those "let's not play D tonight" games.

C's have fallen in love with the three this year and the reason is because the three ball is lazy offense

If Doc wanted to put a halt to it he needed to do it early but the team was hitting them and winning early on and nobody, the players, the coaches, the management or the fans had a problem with it

Three quarters of the way into the season, this is what happens if teams are allowed to play a certain lazy way early in  a season

They stay lazy

The C's are hitting those threes tonight and did the other night but we have seen what happens to leads when they go cold

C's have to stop relying on that shot so much

I agree with everything you have said...but for some reason, I believe they will be more agressive in the paint during the playoffs.

Something tells me the Pistons won't hold that lead.  Already down to 15.

nice spin by pierce

I see baldy is reffing again.

[bello_man09]

 Perk....needs to finish and  stop trying to act hard.

[misha]

It's easy to give technicals to someone like Perk for nothing.

[celticsclay]

KG should have shot that.........
I also would prefer to not say pierce take those charges at this point in this kind of game. However, I am sure many will disagree.

[PLamb]

Nice play taking that charge though there was a good lean in and flop involved as well

Perk playing some nice D tonight.  Let's get some team D going.  One good stretch could seal this game early.

Right guys, I was out partying since we won our first basketball game of the year :] 76 - 67, great D, great offense too. Was a great game, had a lot of assists (we don't count them) and about 10 points. 3 Of 4 on Freebies, amongst which 2 of 2 in crunch time. We had an awesome game.

So, that's an update on what we did, can someone gimme an update on the Green Team? How've we been so far? I'm seeing negative plus-minus scores on the starters and positive ones for the bench... Does that tell the whole story?

So, you are actually giving PP credit for successfully drawing charge with a high degree of difficulty (and sneakiness!)?

Joey Crawford wants to show off in front of his hometown crowd.

He is a show pony period.
