Celtics (2-1) at Sixers (1-2) ECSF Game 4 5/18

[satch]

Are we being played for suckers? Is this stuff fixed?

"correct an earlier foul"

aka we called a horrible game so we let him in

[letsgoblue86]

It's kind of fitting that the Sixers would ice this game at the free throw line.

Thanks doc we're getting crushed on the boards and you do nothing

[Scott]

It is what it is.  The team got too comfortable with the lead and settled for jump shots.  Philly took advantage.

[mahonedog88]

This should've been a 4-0 sweep...and now it's 2-2.  And hell, a bounce or two goes Phillys way in Game 1, and we're down 3-1.

This is bad.  This needs to change.

[Tenacious D]

Trouble with running up those earl leads is to relax too much, look for Js.  Had already eased off before the end of the first. Blew a big chance, here.  Likely to go seven now.

[Neurotic Guy]

Our team isnt good.

Gotta hand it to the Sixers, they beat the #1 seed, and look primed to take out the Celtics and end the Big 3 Era.

They are the better team, give them credit, they have better closers then us, and overall better plears, sad end to an era.

Huh?

Doc leaving Ray Allen is to give wide open shots to Iguodala is the dumbest move of the season.

Once again, a playoff loss is on Doc's shoulders.

I for once agree with blaming Doc. What the hell was this line-up and why was Bass not in the game? Philly's strategy is to mob KG, and since Ray is ineffective with his ankles it works pretty fine. However, it results in wide open looks for Bass...who was hitting tonight. A lot. Bass in the game for this 4th quarter would've led to 3 big mid range shots and 6 extra points.

foul trouble, thank these wonderful refs

People to blame

Refs

Changed the course of the game, stared to call every, cause avery to get into foul trouble

Doc

refused to play a shot blocker, philly game plan was to dominate to paint doc allowed them to

Ray

[cltc5]

Philly earned this one.  They just refused to lose.  Nuff said.  Celtics better pray the heat/pacers goes 7 casue we sure as heck needed the rest

[tenn_smoothie]

turnovers and offensive boards killed us - we got happy and the offense went on shut-down.

Please. Bass had 4 fouls. Should have been in with 6 minutes left.

[European NBA fan]

Keeping Bass on the bench has got to be one of Docs worst decisions ever.

Bass being completely abandoned in this game is totally on Doc.
