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

[bostonman1]

First 5 minutes will show if the C's are truly ready to put forth the consistent effort to win tonight.  If they get down again double digits early it's unlikely they can keep fighting back.

They need to start hot here and take over the game now.

WOW Celtics are 1-22 after being down 13 points this season YIKES

[Kiorrik]

I realize I am a little late on the uptake with this, but what is the explanantion for the fact that the 2 teams that played on Thursday play Game 1 today, while the 2 teams that already had extra rest get an additional day?  How does this make sense, or is there a formula they have to follow?

I was wondering the same thing.

[mahonedog88]

Wow that's quite the stat.

1-22 in games when they get down by at least 13.

Doesn't bode well...

Bradley looking lost out there on offense again.

Pierce has no arc on his jumper tonight.

Celtics floudering on offense early here.  Philly is giving them chances to take over.

Avery wasn't even close on his favorite shot wow he just doesn't have it now

THE

FUTURE

[bostonman1]

Finally a couple baskets here to back up the stellar defensive start.

AVERY just take it inside instead of settling for jumpers beautiful play!

Shows how much better Boston is than Philly.  They have played horribly for most of the game and are winning.  Just need to stay firm here and build a nice lead...
