Sixers (11-16) at Celtics (22-4) 12/22

Not sure if that was nice D or just Iggy tripping over his own feet.  Either way I'll take it.

split the difference and say the nice D led to Iggy tripping on his own feet

I think it was Iggy off balance after he pushed off and Pierce leaned back.

No clue how the hell we won this game. Testament to our skill and talent.

Undermanned, Overmatched(5v8), Couldnt hit a shot, Still won the game.

Very nice finish to the game.  Almost nothing went our way and we still gutted it out down the stretch.

Philly is the sort of team we're likely to see in the first round.  Nice to see us asserting ourselves so well at the end of the game.

TPs for everyone who managed to say something positive while watching our 14th consecutive win.  Next up, Orlando!

I agree -- crazy win.  There have been a few in this streak.

We would lose these games last year at this time. Overcame the refs and everything.

Philly is a good team. Kudos to them for the close one.

Last year, we lost these kinds of games in the regular season. So far, at least lately, we've been finding a way to win.

A regular season win in December is as good as one in March.

If we can keep our health let's get the best record this year.

Congrats!

How much longer can this streak continue with our beaten up line up?!

Great clutch plays by the big 3

[Drucci]

Phew, we managed to get the win! Gutsy effort!

14 in a row in spite of the terrible officiating, definitely the worst game of the year in that regard. Amazing that we still won.

I disagree that Philly is a good team. They have a losing record, but even more telling is that they only get up for big games, and get blown out by lesser opponents, they cant be considered a good team with those tendencies.

Philly are like a lesser talented version of the Atlanta Hawks.

A below average team that we match up badly against.

Good point. They need more consistency. I think they are well on their way, though - they did play us awfully close in Philly.

[Adelaide Celt]

I am in absolute disbelief that the referees didn't pull a foul out of that KG block. Not saying it was a foul of course, just after everything they'd called... I believe that would've triggered a monumental Tommy eruption!

Grueling, hard-fought victory. That's what we like to see (well sorta )

Now for the Orlando Tragic this Saturday!

If they would just play like they play against us, they might be considered good, but for some reason they only adopt the "run and gun" style vs us, and nobody else.

And after LA's debacle last night , we should be like 6 games in front of them now.

I know it's still December, but LA's digging a hole for themselves, as far as homecourt advantage in a possible matchup in June with us.
