Sixers ( 0-1) at Celtics (1-0) ECSF Game 2

[thestackshow]

Time to put the starters in, this bench unit cant hit a shot and hasnt been able to hit a shot for the entire playoffs.

Man, what the hell happened to Pietrus? He still feeling the concussion?

I request more small ball.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Our offense has hit an all-time low once Pierce got hurt, with Pierce and Allen both hurting and not looking like themselves we have stretches where we just can't score, they were both really good at carrying the team with individual offense when we struggled.

Ray's messing up a lot so far, Bass and Pietrus can't his water falling out of a boat, and Pierce hasn't been much better—looks like this is gonna have to be another KG+Rondo Show.

It will be pretty hard to win games if Pierce is a non factor.

People forget he is our best scorer. It hurts me to see him moving so slow, his knee is obviously bothering him.

Surprised Philly is ahead here after such an encouraging start to the game for the C's

Other than the one game against Atlanta the Celtics haven't been able to sustain their great play for long stretches.  They keep letting teams get right back in the game after building a nice lead...

If it wasn't for Ray coming off the bench, we wouldn't have any bench production... Seems like every year our bench just can't produce.

It's only a 2 point lead and plenty of game left. I know we should be up by quite a bit currently, but our guys left the 76ers open for 2 wide open threes that I think hurt us. And nobody expected Bass to miss a lot of those wide open attempts that he got after starting out hot.

Basically, the game is still early, but we need to take control, and finish out this half with a lead, preferably an 8 point lead at least.

I hate listening to Dick Stockton. He's hated the Celtics since his CBS days with Tommy Heinsohn in the 80s. Every time the Sixers start doing well his voice goes up and he has troubled containing himself.

Boston up 8 when KG sat down, and Philly quickly scored 6 points.

He made that great drive to the hoop which which seemed to give him some energy but followed it with 2 wide open misses. 

Similar to Bass, such a hot start then right back to missing open shots.

SOMEONE is going to have to step up besides KG and Rondo on the offensive end.

weak foul by Pietrus

gotta be the knee he didn't look like how he does now when he came back from the injury (shots way off, or being able to stay with his man etc.)

sucks
