I bet a lot of people will come in here saying that Rondo should sit. I don't think Doc would put Rondo out there if it's clear he can't. So instead of outright stating that Rondo should sit, I'll trust Doc and the medical staff on this.
Hmmmmm, rebounds........
Very little energy exerted on D thus far.

We're obviously not a big fan of them tonight.
maybe wafer will have a big game...he can slash...he just needs to dunk a few.....he is like...an almost...player.....

Am I the only one who has a hard time understanding what meadow says?
KG getting outmuscled inside early. You see why he needed a dominate big in Minnesota. Here he has Perk and ShaQ to do his dirty work. finesse is his game.
Ray touched the ball once, get him involved. Also we need to get to the lineas long as he's getting the ball ready to shoot. in the past few trips up the floor when Ray has tried dribbling the ball, he's been a TO waiting to happen
Ray Allen greatly overestimates his ball-handling prowess.agreed. I've felt that way since we traded for him.
Hey guys quick question. For the out of market fans what do you guys do for your pre and post game?

Add more pins to my Kobe and Lebron dolls
Def miss shaq..JO...what is it with him....wonder if he will make the season...
Ya, try gody...for sure......i don't mind seeing bradley also......
Unreal, he gets ft out of that????
PP is killing us on the floor. if he's under the weather, get him out and put in either Daniels or Gody to get someone with either defensive/ballhandling skill of some fire to playTP for stating the obvious... Pierce just didnt come out to play tonight!!

Someone remind me why I'm bothering to watch this gameditto
I am usually really hard on the Celts when they play like this, but think you have to give them a break tonight. They started their 4th string center who has little clue about team defense, Rondo is playing on bad feet and a tight hamstring, and Pierce is sick. I would rather have Doc not even played Pierce and Rondo tonight, rather than play them and still lose.

I would rather have Doc not even played Pierce and Rondo tonight, rather than play them and still lose.that may have resulted in better play for the team. Doc would have to play Bradley and Gody (well, not really with Doc, he very well could ride the vets into the ground in that case) and those two, while not experience or as good as Rondo or PP needless to say, would at least hustle out there. I think that's the one thing I find hard to excuse is the lack of effort

naw...even on a back to back and their issues they should be able to beat this crappy sixer team. they aren't putting forth any effort

Sixers have won 5 in a row at home and 4 of their last 5 overall. I usually am with you, but disagree 100 percent tonight.
I've got to disagree there -- and not just because I'm complaining about the effort.I am usually really hard on the Celts when they play like this, but think you have to give them a break tonight.

I agree Vinnie. A)This Sixers team actually matches up well against the C's, with their proclivity to run, etc. Their strengths go right up against our weaknesses. B) One can't dismiss injuries, sickness, back-to-backs, etc. I think the whole not giving any effort thing is usually a pipe-dream critique and not particularly realistic or looking at things properly. I really haven't seen a lack of effort tonight, just a team not having its best night.
The lack of depth and versatility on the wing is being exposed in these small ball lineups.
Rondo is also said to be having to face with flu-like symptoms but he's still leading the team and putting on some effort... Pierce is on a slump for the last 2 weeks,its not the flu!he's just painful to watch...
Marquis is also not playing well at all! I wouldnt mind to see Harangody on the floor right now!
I think we should go to the Rondo-KG pick'n'pop and play some good D out there... and hope that Ray will get hot there at the end!
let's go C's!
(sidenote: i would've liked to see Bradley get some playing time. Rondo's been in there for 46 min!)
Great play drawn up by Doc there. Win is a win.
Most entertaining game ive seen all season.They're not all ultra quick, Brand moves like a dinosaur.
This team is incredible. Were missing half of our roster and we win vs an ultra-young, quick and athletic 76ers team on their home floor while we are playing on the second night of a back-to-back?
Amazing.
At least we have an excuse for the loss
I was thinking that Doc would go with the usual Pierce iso for the game winner so I wasn't confident about our chances of winning but it was a really good surprise to see the Rondo/KG play, although I'm not sure it was really the plan. Nice to see KG steal the inbounds pass shortly after as a bonus!

Yes, it was a nice play, but agreed, not sure it was the main play they wanted.
I hope there's more like this. The more that Doc mixes the last plays between PP, RA, KG, the better -- it will keep opponents guessing.
He'll call for the iso if we're up and/or if we're tied more frequently. If we're down he's much more aggressive.I was thinking that Doc would go with the usual Pierce iso for the game winner so I wasn't confident about our chances of winning but it was a really good surprise to see the Rondo/KG play, although I'm not sure it was really the plan.

I think during out of bounds plays, Doc usually draws up creative plays and stays away from straight isos, especially with under 10 secs to play.
