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

[KGs Knee]

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....

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.

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.

I can accept that.

TP's have been doled out.  have a good night everyone, drive safe and don't forget to tip your waitress

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 predict Wade sits out on tuesday to provide miami an excuse for tanking the game and making sure they don't face the celtics in the 1st round.

WHO do we hav for seasoned BIGS right now...KG and steamer.....is kg   25 yrs old.....what are we going to do if he gets hurt....why, how about get the other bigs ready..just in case......duh.....and steamer can foul out too.....then what...play young tall teams with all small.....come on....you got 2 more 7 footers..get the most out of them...get them ready......we HAVE seen injuries like this before.....gotta be ready, and the time is there.....20 points.....

Who cares who plays if KG goes down?

This.

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

If KG takes a game off, I won't watch it.

Pretty sure the C's will be avoiding Miami regardless.  We're pretty much garaunteed the 4 seed at this point.  Don't see how Philly is going to catch us now.  C's are now 3 up with 10 to play.

So much fun to watch this kind of basketball. Great energy for a back to back game. It helps when the TD Garden yells "Defense! Defense!"

The way Stiemsma just grows, I really can't see his ceiling. From the beginning of the season, I thought he was just a one trick pony, but it just seems like he has never had proper big man training.

oh man, now you went and jinxed us. 

C's don't have the division locked up yet.  Philly still has the head-to-head tiebreaker and they do have an easier schedule remaining than the C's do.

Mickael Pietrus passed baseline tests. Hope we get him back sooner.

[Lord of Mikawa]

TP's for all!

[SHAQATTACK]

Wow .... ......we won and I watched the game on TV  

Man I wonder if the  KG and LBJ need motivation to play Tuesday?  I'm getting pumped already.

Fans talk of tanking already. Poor Sixers fans.

Sorry, but I'm not following your philosophy. I've heard you talk on several occasions that the team needs to practice more and you've disagreed that the vets, like KG, need the days off to rest in order to save their legs. However, now you're bringing up potential injuries and what happens if KG gets hurt. Not only do I agree with others on their opinion that there goes our season, but then I ask you, wouldn't more practice only increase the likelihood of the potential injury that we all fear?
