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

[thestackshow]

Take note Doc Rivers.

We lost two games because you didnt play Bass in the 4th quarter in either of our losses.

Lavoy Allen... where the heck did he come from...

kid has a nice game out of Temple. just plays good defense...active

[mctyson]

ALL WORLD 3rd quarter from Brandon Bass....THANK YOU OTIS SMITH

[Atzar]

Great quarter.  I'd love to see five more like it to push us to the ECF.  

Brandon Bass was huge in that quarter.

Ahemmmmm

So umm, all the doom and gloomers.

What you saying now/

lol

[bruinsandceltics]

Stiemsma is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than Hollins.

Sure his athleticism limits him on defense. But the whole package is just much much better.

[rondohondo]

so I guess Bass is opting out for sure now huh ?

[celticinorlando]

we need to come out to start the 4th with the same energy.

They still have a complaining tone. What can you do... At least we can all enjoy this moment for a couple minutes.

Lavoy Allen is such a skilled player. I've seen it from him since game 1. This kid is a straight up gamer, and he's so calm under pressure. He's also a very solid defender, too.

This game Bass is showcasing why he should definitely be on the court for us late in games. I hope Doc sees this and doesn't change this for the remainder of the playoffs. I think Bradley should start coming off the bench for us again. Only because it might be easier for us to get Bass his usual shots while Ray is on the court for him. I've seen Ray's presence being a pretty big deal on more than one occasion so far.

[slamtheking]

hmmm, seems like the bigs that haven't been getting much time this series in favor of Doc's love of small ball have been coming through for us this game.  who'd have thought 

[Who]

Great third quarter after a worrying start to the period.

Dominated Philly over the final 9-10 minutes.

[hpantazo]

this strangely enough reminds me of the shrek and donkey game from the finals a couple of years ago

[Surferdad]

It was just a matter of putting guys out there who were going to bring energy to the defense -- Pierce, Stiemsma, Bass, Rondo -- fantastic effort allowed them to get the ball out on the break and create mismatches fueled by Rondo's passing!

Ahemmmmm

So umm, all the doom and gloomers.

You tell em Nick!!

Ain't over but great 3rd quarter.
