Celtics (3-2) at Sixers (2-3) ECSF Game 6 5.23

[hpantazo]

The games I have watched live game 2, game 4, and this game.

Im officially a curse.  

you must be scarred for life watching those 3 games, they have been UGLY!

[BRC-14]

After watching this, I expect a very close Game 7... Heck we may not even win that game if we come out and play like we don't even want to go to the next round like we came out and played tonight. Rondo needs to play like he wants to be in the NBA, Doc needs to realize that Ray Allen couldn't guard a bag of rocks, and we need to make shots..

We should have given the ball the Pierce all night.
drive to the hoop, get a foul, easy.

Only problem is Doc has no clue what he is doing.

He's a great coach, but his in game adjustments, if any, are horrendous.
In any event, the coach can only do so much when the point guard refuses to dictate the terms of the game. Everyone should be driving inside, instead, they're settling for jumpers.

Ray hitting shots now. Unbelievable

Too little to late

Stops here stops

rondos 4 assists are a red flag

When we need him the most, he disappears. He's NOT a leader end probably  will never be.

Look at the shooting percentages of this team. People have to make shots to get assists.

I'm sick and tired of assist, numbers and stats crap. On a night like this he needs to shoot, he needs to score when he's underneath the basket, and not always looking for the extra-extra pass to make the people wow.

Translation: You need a scape goat because you are incapable of blaming all of the people who should be blamed.

Sure, you know the truth. Keep on wowing at Rondo's behind the back pass fake.

Rondo is injured, thats the only way hes this bad.

So Rondo, Pierce, Ray and Bradley are all injured.

On paper we shouldnt have made it out of the first round with our injuries.

Its been a good run, our bodies just didnt hold up.

Rondo is injured?

There is NO WAY you can use the injury excuse on Rondo.  This is just all effort and headgame for him.

Thanks for showing up about 46 minutes too late Ray

[CoachBo]

We have been absolutely DESTROYED at the guard position tonight. Thoroughly dominated.

... and it wasn't just the guards.  Not a single Celtic shot 50%.  Only two Celts shot 42%.

Not just talking shooting, Roy.

You cannot run this offense the way Rondo ran it tonight - soft and passively - and have any expectation of good shots and success. We simply aren't athletic enough.

Attack and get to the line or we lose. It's that simple, and Rondo's sat outside pounding the ball all night, and he's been absolutely obliterated defensively on the other end, with the two guard being obliterated as well.

This is game 4 all over again. We play another like it Saturday and the season's over. This may be the lowest basketball IQ Celtics team I've seen with any playoff expectations.

Some of you are going to have to get it through your heads: This offense starts with Rondo and when he's taking a night off, as he did tonight, we have nothing - no ball movement, no good shots, etc.

He has the ball, he shoulders the blame. And he deserves a bunch of it tonight.
