After looking at the entire series, tonights result wasn't that surprising. There has definitely been a pattern. The Celtics are alternating between very good showings, and horrible showings. There has been no in between. If the game on saturday goes like the rest of the series has gone, it will be one of their better games and most likely a win.

Playing against Miami is a different story entirely, but at least i feel as though we will win this series on saturday.

They arent consistent, and that will come back to bite them in the end.

At least we can use the injury excuse again this year, as we have done the past 4 years.

oh thats cool cause im not optimistic... at all.

I think they'll win game 7 since they always take a game off every other game. But this type of play wont get them out of the ECF. its over, good run

C'mon stack...must you be CONSISTENTLY negative?

Seriously?

BOS will pull this out on Saturday. Ideally, we'd be heading home for some rest, but BOS likes to grind it out.

We missed Avery a lot this game. No one really moved or cut to the basket effectively.

If he's able to play some minutes in a Boston game 7 I feel good about our chances.

I'll be positivie when the Celtics show me something to be positive about.

They have had 3 good games this entire playoffs.

Thats three out of 13 games, the other 10 games they played downright awful.

Can you be positive about that? Spurs havent lost a game these playoffs, the Thunder only one.

I'm looking forward to the end of this era. Exhausting. Disappointing. Inconsistent. OLD.

I can be positive about the fact that some of us didn't think BOS would even make the playoffs.

I can be positive that some of us didn't think BOS would make it to the 2nd round.

I can be positive that we DO have a Game 7 in BOS.

I can be positive that Bass and KG will play better next game.

I can be positive that the Lakers are done this year, and perhaps for the next several years.

Spurs/OKC? I've seen some comments about the Big Bad Spurs and OKC....tell you what:

If BOS can get through PHI and MIA/Indy, I trust BOS's opportunity vs either of those two rather than LA.

We match up better with the Spurs, and even OKC. Not so much the Lakers.

Anything else?

I was about to join you until I heard the news about Bradley.  Is this team snake bitten or what? ::)

Apparently I should be miserable, but our guys are still in it and I'm excited for this game 7.  I don't think we've had one in the Garden since the Bulls in '09.

I'm sorry, but that Philly team plays with some big heart and swagger.  I tip my hat to them for forcing a game 7.

Let's go Cs!!! 
DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson
