Sixers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) ECSF Game 1

[bostonman1]

Come on guys cannot let Lavoy Allen shoot then walk right in for the offensive rebound and score.  That is just a complete lack of effort.

Philly has 9 second chance points already!

[GronkSpike]

They have got 4 fouls already. DRIVE TO THE HOOP!

[Spicoli]

Getting beat like a drum on the glass.

i bet marquis WILL play..but sasha won't...and sasha is much better all around...md has no shot....and sorta invisibe on D...sasha shut down Joe J BIG TIME..!

[RajonRondOWNED]

They are shooting 57% AND destroying us in rebounds.

As bad as we've played, we should be down by a lot more.

Relax guys, Celtics are playing some of their worst basketball of the year, they also did this in Game 1 vs the Hawks.

Celtics dont even look like their trying, I expect that to change eventually.

philly will get up 15 plus...boston will make a run to make it close...but right now...this effort won't keep this game within 10 for long....defense is ghost...philly getting every 50/50 and rebound..boston can't score other than FTs

Webber and Stockton know nothing about our team.

If it makes you feel better, sure they don't. they are busy lying about our inability to rebound and no boxing out.

[CoachBo]

The above poster is correct: NO more jumpshots. Every time to the rim. The fouls are a HUGE advantage for us in this period.

Quis nearly cost us game 6 and possibly the series before the whistle even blew, and he logged "0" minutes in the box score. He can't be on the floor right now, IMO.

To be honest im thinking ahead the the Lakers vs Nuggets Game 7. If the C's dont care about this game im not going to stress about it.

Its a long series.

  While it worked out, end of first quarter, Hollins misses dunk and ends up on his back. He takes a while to get up and gets safely into the frontcourt because Williams is running down the clock before he shoots instead of pressing the 5v4 advantage. He then, apparently, gets bored waiting and shoots with 6 seconds left on the shot clock, giving the Celts time to get a shot off. Lucky, not at all smart.

Well, it's getting so we cannot seem to carve into the lead at all.   If Philly goes on a run we are in trouble as I am not seeing legs tonight.
