Wow really lucky to be only down five...KG (and Ray) are keeping us in this game.

Stop Evan Turner=Celtics win

[thestackshow]

One of the worst halves of basketball this team has played all year.

Yet were only down 5.

Lol.

5 pt game, very doable if they play a lot better in the 2nd half... on the brightside we ended on a run, momentum on our side

[hpantazo]

Wow. Only a 5 point lead.

we should be down 25 right now, I'll take it

[celticinorlando]

LUCKY to be down 5. wow.

gotta find a way to slow down turner

Stiesma looks so lost right now. He looks like he has no confidence on either side of the court.

Sadly true.  Hollins increased minutes have much to do with Steamer's play...because he certainly hasn't been great either.

[aporel#18]

trailing by 5... not bad after playing turrible ball.

We'll see more small ball if Bass/Steamboat can't make a difference inside.

Go Celtics!

Why is Rondo settling for jumpers instead of driving to the basket?  What suddenly changed to make him show zero lack of aggression in getting inside.

Wow Rondo is TERRIBLE tonight

Have you made a single post on this forum that wasn't an anti-Rondo post?

Why does it matter? Rondo has been terrible tonight. He deserves every bit of criticism against he so far.

**** rondo

Mind the language please.

We try to keep this site family-friendly.

That's right! The last movie Kiorrik saw was The Smurfs!

TP +1

KG taking pages out of Duncan's playbook with the banker.

Nice, patient play by Rondo there at the end.

Don't have to go full-tilt with these guys.

BOS's brand of ball has gotten us THIS far - when some here didn't even expect BOS to be in the playoffs.

BOS's got this one.

[mahonedog88]

Jeez.

I'm not really sure how to feel after that half now.

They obviously need to play better...but this is one of those games where Philly may actually go into the locker room feeling worse about themselves.

The celtics missed shot after shot, the sixers gameplan went exactly how they wanted, hover around a 10-12 point lead pretty much the entire way...then within the last 2 minutes of the half, we blink and it's only a 5 point lead.

[Neurotic Guy]

Ridiculously fortunate to be down only 5.  Seems that the refs are more reluctant to let the guys play tonight than most of the Hawks series.
