Sixers (29-26) at Celtics (31-24) 4/8

[alajet]

I get the feeling the Sixers are about to get put in their place today. 

Celtics hand the Sixers their worst loss of the season.

Celtics hand bla bla worst shooting game of the season, lowest scoring game of the season, lowest scoring quarter of the season, worst loss of the season..
It has been pretty much this way for a while!

ok, I'm still on tape delay and just saw Rondo hit that ridiculous turnaround buzzer beater but I'm going to jump right into resuming the tradition of post-game TP's for everyone.  sorry I haven't been able to join the threads for a few games.   I hope to keep up with most of the games the rest of the year.

Good buzzer to buzzer effort. Beat off the BtB. Daresay the club is jelling and at the right time!

THIS is where i get frustrated with doc.....sitting jjj and moore....for what...some sort of ancient punishment........he doesn't have time for practice...so play these guys when we are up by 20 with 10 left.....it is insulting to wait till 2 minutes left.....

I just don't get the fascination with wanting to play these two.  We're trying to win games, not run live scrimmages.

The rotations you have been seeing for the last few weeks are going to be our playoff rotations.  It is going to primarily be an 8-man roatation (starters + Allen, Pavlovic/Pietrus, & Stiemsma).  This is what you do down the stretch, get your rotations set and the players comfortable with them.

See my last reply...no need to answer...you either get it or you don't...i can't help you from here....

Not hearing anymore about how this is a mediocre team -- a 7/8 seed.  C's are proving to be a force in the East.  I wouldn't go so far as to say  they are contenders as I still feel Heat and Bulls have more than the C's.  But I think the C's will give one if not both a run.  Bulls with Rose are very tough.

Should be interesting on Tuesday.  Hope the C's stay with the Heat and build their confidence.

I understand that, but with 5 minutes left in a 20+ point blowout, Doc really should've kept Bass on the bench. The last thing we need I a freak injury. JaJuan Johnson is not really the point. He could've trotted Keyon Dooling out at the 4 spot for all I would've cared.

Again, we're trying to win games here.  This is not the time to be playing unproven rookies, who in the few minutes they have played contributed nothing.

I'm wondering if you get it?  But you're right, there's obviously no need to further debate this.

Too bad you can't give yourself a TP  .  I'll give you one.

Well, look, we cannot change anything...your opinion works for you, and mine for me....no hard feelings and sorry if it got out of hand.

Just about to say the same thing.  If KG goes down it doesn't matter, we're done.

This.

If KG goes down this team is finished, it wont matter who we plug in his place.
