Sixers (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) ECSF Game 5 5/21

[celticinorlando]

how does this team continue to come out flat? every game in this series they have messed around...got down....i just don't get it

[letsgoblue86]

The problem with having Ray in the starting lineup is that the offense is trying to get Ray off screens.  Paul only had 1 shot in that quarter...not enough.

Garnett getting destroyed by a 17 year old rookie.

Retirement is in his near future lol.

Really?

Lavoy Allen has destroyed him in two straight games. He cant score on him and Allen dominated KG on the offensive end.

We seem way too tentative for this being a game five. This is troubling me. Also we are having troubles with the effort plays. Lack of energy and athletic ability continues to be a concern and probably will be from here on out.

[bruinsandceltics]

Ray Allen still bringing literally nothing.

Minimal offense, absolutely no defense. Seriously, play Sasha or Marquis....

[Surferdad]

Honestly, after that epic choke last game, I won't be that upset if we lose this series. If we can't handle this 76ers team, we had 0 chance of beating the Spurs/Thunder/Heat.

Exactly.

If we lose I wont even lose an ounce of sleep over it, Celtics dont care and they are showing it in their play.

You guys need to chill. Its the first quarter and things like last game happen to all teams.

I'd like to be optimistic but that's just not realistic.  C's lose this game and the season is pretty much over. They are not bringing their patnented defensive intensity, PP and Ray are still injured, Bradley (a key defensive stopper) is out, Rondo making bad decisions ----  what more do you need?  Better luck next year.

There is no 17 year old in the NBA right now lol

[Neurotic Guy]

I can understand losing to a better team or a team that catches fire or a game when we can't hit the ocean, but losing for lack of effort in the playoffs is unacceptable

I can't believe that we'll finish this game feeling that it was lack of effort that cost us.

We looked terrible after the first quarter of Game 1 and we weren't looking great after the first quarter of Game 3.

You continue to prove your fantastic basketball knowledge.

you must be watching different games then

[celticinorlando]

losing that 18 point lead in game 4 is going to haunt this team

Yeah, they haven't come out of the blocks strong since...last game.

yea, hopefully we decided to coast the first 2 quarters tonight instead of the last 2

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

not looking good.. 

[Larry for 3]

I dont have a good feeling right now,  Philly is very confident, and Lou williams hasnt even gone off yet. I pray we dont put Ray on him again. This team has no rhythm and no flow right now,  if it want for Steamer.... we'd be down 10
