Does anyone know where I can hear the game on radio in Los Angeles? I'll be driving most of the game.. I don't think 710AM ESPN LA will be broadcasting it.. Hoping the mobile WEEI app streams it... :-\
You guys need to end this [stuff] tonight, and not [mess] around with these guys any longer. With Kobe and his idiot cousin Metta Sour Grapes gone, the priorities shift to knocking out LeESPN. And I'm afraid you guys will have to do it. I've written off Indiana's chances; the Pacers are the most hypocritial, useless bunch of [wimps] ever. They talk the talk but they don't walk the walk.
GreenFaith, do you go by a different name in the chat room or on Celtics blog? I'm sorry I don't recognize you.
I knew Bass had game, but I didn't know he was this good! Isn't it wonderful that there can be dumb people in this league willing to trade Brandon for Glen Davis?
I'm "Celtics18and19", on the blog front page.Oh yeah! I remember now!
I remember chatting with you a few times while we were both on SS and R. I haven't posted there in a few months, though. Last time I was actively on SS and R was during their Ultimate Draft last summer-fall.
I think the Bass-Davis trade worked out for both teams. Glen Davis played his behind off in the playoffs. I was impressed with his play vs Hibbert.

The Kobe era has REALLY worn out its welcome on me. The Lakers just get more repulsive every year. Andrew Bynum has become such a space case, Laker fans are warming up to trading him. And then there's Metta Class Clown. Oh, how I've grown to hate this gigantic cockroach. He's violent, he's unstable, and he's also a sore loser, saying the Lakers were the better team after being eliminated. And yet the Laker fanbase continues to cherish him and has no interest in letting him go. So I've lost respect for the Lakers as a whole because of it. And I am not posting another comment on SSR until major changes occur.
Deep breath...
The Magic were foolish to get rid of Stan Van Gundy. He's a great coach, and I hope the Clips grab him and put VDN out to pasture. He knows a lot more about how to motivate his players to play at a high level than Frank Vogel ever could.

He knows a lot more about how to motivate his players to play at a high level than Frank Vogel ever could.That would be very very nice for the Clippers. I'd love to see SVG and CP3 together. Help DeAndre Jordan mature as a defensive anchor. Get the Clips playing effective team defense. That would be a serious acquisition for LAC.
Rondo, KG and Pierce are getting double and even triple teamed this series, its really weird. Especially Pierce, double and triple teams have really taken him out of this series.
Sixers are basically telling Bass and our role-players to beat us with wide open jump shots. Lets hope they can make them, cause this swarming smothering double-triple team defense the Sixers are playing is making this series really ugly.
The hilarious thing with Kobe is that he is STILL defiant...he won't concede that changes need to be made for LA.Okay, Kobe. Keep telling yourself that. Don't change a thing, so that the Thunder can beat your wallaby asses year after year.
from Doc's comments and Sean Grande's comments, it sounds like we may have lost Bradley for the rest of the playoffs

from twitter:
Boston Celtics @celtics
Doc confirms that Bradley will not play tonight. As for his immediate future, "I don't know... Tough injury."
Boston Celtics @celtics
Avery Bradley is out for tonight & now questionable for the rest of the playoffs says @SeanGrandePBP. He and Max have Game 6 on @WEEI now.
We're screwed if Joey is her reffingwe'll be more screwed if they keep taking and missing jumpers. game 4 all over again.
Lazy offense and defense per usual, we need our bench guys to inspire the starters with their defense because the starters apparently don't see the importance in playing tough defense lately, I've seen so many lazy rotations by us in the past few games.that and Pietrus has got to start hitting shots again.
Brand is mugging KG on the block.They are letting Brand be really physical with KG but I guarantee you if KG does that in return he gets in foul trouble.
Anybody else find it hilarious that Joe Crawford is officiating this game? Sounds like Stern wants this to go to 7.yeah wasn't thrilled when I found out he was reffing but I'm hoping his ego kicks in to the detriment of the home team
Brand is mugging KG on the block.They are letting Brand be really physical with KG but I guarantee you if KG does that in return he gets in foul trouble.
brand bunny hopped like 3 times
Another awful game for the Celtics.
We have played 3 good games these playoffs.
No clue what it takes to motivate this team but its obvious we just arent a good basketball team anymore, we have got to be the most inconsistent playoff team of all time, they cant play two good games in a row. Its either really really good, or downright you dont deserve to be in the playoffs awful.
Another awful game for the Celtics.theyre good in terms of talent. they're just dumb as dirt apparently since they refuse to come out focussed in the majority of their games

We're only down three in the first in an elimination game. You can't be serious
Sixers look very up and down so far. Lot of good plays, lot of mistakes.I agree.
Celtics not looking so good but still getting good number of quality shot attempts. If they can pick it up a bit, they look in good shape.
Excellent points by Hubie on how poorly Rondo is defending.yeah, not seeing that "second team all-defense" player out there tonight

Stiesma has been so bad in these playoffs.
Stiesma has been so bad in these playoffs.
Another D-League play by Steamer.to be fair, a lot of the C's have played like D-leaguers in this quarter
Another D-League play by Steamer.
Stiesma has been so bad in these playoffs.not enough playing time - no rhythm, what do you expect. at least his making some D/O contributions not just running/jumping around like bambi hollins.lol
Ugh.
I dont like our chances in a close game with this team.
Lou Williams and Iguodala have been the best two closers in the playoffs outside of Durant.
I am not too keen to see Stiemsna back in the game.
Ray has had quite the forgettable series.
jeez -- had KG right down the middle on the break and they missed it.
great job RAy. dribble it down to 11 seconds instead of giving it up. good thing PP bailed him out with a bucketRay is once again a liability of there.
the thing is, PP should have made the pass 2 seconds sooner with KG wide open going into the paint when both of them were uncoveredjeez -- had KG right down the middle on the break and they missed it.
Pierce tried to make the pass I believe but it got deflected.
I believe that was him chucking up that way-off 3great job RAy. dribble it down to 11 seconds instead of giving it up. good thing PP bailed him out with a bucketRay is once again a liability of there.
Ray continues to hurt the team more than he helps.
man AI on espn 3 screen, so they make the screen smaller than a wrist watch....nice...."who has the ball?" CSN, TNT, ABC all suck.....agree -- who cares about Iverson
I love Ray. Love him. Huge fan.
Ray, please sit down.
Ray is absolutely pathetic.
It's gotten to the point that I'd rather see E'twaun Moore.
Sasha came in last game, in for a minute, took ONE shoty...BANG...a three.....how dumb it is to bench the guy.......???That was a garbage time basket. Get real.
Why cant the Celtics shoot? What the heck happened? Its like everyone caught the "ray allen 2008 slump" virus at the same time.
Ray cursed this team when Doc Rivers benched him.
Would be nice if Rondo would start attacking.
oh, you are right....does that mean it didn't count.....was it closer than normal.....? Was the new basket in there, the larger hoop....? oh you mean it was GREAT that he could sit ALL gamew and still come in cold and hit one righht off like that...i agree....!!!Sasha came in last game, in for a minute, took ONE shoty...BANG...a three.....how dumb it is to bench the guy.......???That was a garbage time basket. Get real.
I watch these games and I think how bad these teams are compared to the Spurs and Thunder.ya, true....very different....okla is playing at a high level..SA is very strong too...!!!
I watch these games and I think how bad these teams are compared to the Spurs and Thunder.
Pietrus!
It's a nice cap to the half, but man, that was probably the worst half of offensive basketball I've ever seen.
I know ive said this about 7 times so far these playoffs but this is the worst game ive seen the Celtics play all year.
The only eastern team left tht would win a game in the finals is Miami.
And hasn't changed a bit. TP for the comeback.The only eastern team left tht would win a game in the finals is Miami.

This a winnable game. Doc is going to have to get creative though. If Bass comes out flat again it will be time to introduce Sean Williams to the playoffs.small ball...williams ...should be given a try...if hollins is sitting......warm up another.....! Never know...
Doc, whatever you do, don't play small ball.
The only eastern team left tht would win a game in the finals is Miami.
Unfortunately I agree :(
I don't. There is just something about this matchup that is turning games ugly. I don't expect the same thing from a Heat Celtics matchup.
31% shooting and up by 3 lol
The only eastern team left tht would win a game in the finals is Miami.
If I'm David Stern, the prospect of the Celtics making the finals makes me very depressed.true..but people watch the C's......he prob wants the heat ( hakers )....
Has Bass dunked yet....if not he needs to get that inside stuff going again.....it helps..!!!

How is it that Magic Johnson is allowed on TV. He just said that the Celtics will have an edge because they "get more offensive rebounds."Yep, it sounded like he was making fun of us... ???
They are by far the worst offensive rebounding team in the playoffs!

Just for the night. Felt like hanging here.
How is it that Magic Johnson is allowed on TV. He just said that the Celtics will have an edge because they "get more offensive rebounds."but the sixers are small.
They are by far the worst offensive rebounding team in the playoffs!
We're shootin like garbage rite now nd still up lets continue da defense nd hope to get some shots to fall in da 2nd halfGettin' to the line is keeping the Green in the game. Need to stay aggressive in the next half.

There have been several god awful stretches of basketball this series.
There have been several god awful stretches of basketball this series.
Haha, wow, boy are we fortunate to be up by anything right now. Thank god for that shot from Pietrus. Still, I don't expect KG to keep missing those shots. I also expect Bass' jumper to start falling more often, and hopefully our offense is generally smoother than what it has been so far. Hopefully rondo's mid-range shot falls a few times, too, if he plans on taking it a bit more. Because they will potentially fear Rondo's penetration, hopefully something else opens up for us.The misses are frustrating, but at least the right guys are taking the shots (KG, Pierce, Bass). Still, they need to find a way to get to the rim, and that will open up their mid range game.
There have been several god awful stretches of basketball this series.
Sixers are double teaming, triple teaming, and trapping our star players almost everytime they touch the ball, when we pass, guys cant hit open shots because we dont have very good shooters on this team outside of our stars...who are getting trapped.
Sixers are forcing us to get to the foul line, or let our non shooters beat us, and its working so far this series.
There have been several god awful stretches of basketball this series.
The sixers know they can win the game if they make it a dog fight, they are the younger, quicker dog. We are the dog on its last legs, they know if they want to win, thats their only chance.
"Pacing" has got to be part of this Celtics team plan, they routinely come out flat for first halves, then flip the switch and dominate on both ends in the second half, this happens every single game.Seems to be the case so often.
New strategy. Hack-a-Iggy
at least they're hitting their FTs tonight
great C's can't hit anything yet Ray and PP decide to chuck up 3s
STOP SETTLING FOR JUMP SHOTS.it's lazy. a signature move of this team
So stupid.
i still hate to see the C's put up a shot, and just turn and run back before it even hits the rim.....only one coach in the league would be happy with that action.....
Thanks for showing up Rondo. ::)and that bucket is why some of us would have a big problem seeing him moved
And people wonder why some of us would have no problem seeing him moved.
the announcers said ray is playing with a bad ankle.....anyone wonder if this team actually has a COACH..???
This series is over.
Celtics are old, washed up, and injured. They just arent good enough.
Sixers are the better team and have been for most of the playoffs, they beat the #1 seeded Bulls, Sixers by that account are the best team in the east.

Why is Rondo so passive so far in this game? Come on captain.
How can anyone stay positive?
The Celtics didnt show up, its either they mentally didnt show up or they are a bad team, pick one.
I applaud Ray Allen for trying to play hurt.
But please sit down for good.

It has nothing to do with being positive.
You continually post how every game is "the worst game ever" or "this game is over" or "this series is over" or "this team is out of gas" or "this team is too old" etc after any bad stretch.
Enough is enough. It is pathetic. I am not being positive tonight. Ray is killing us. I am pointing it out. Calling Doc out. But the game is far from over and same with the series.
Man, this one is so hard to watch. Just get it going. I think Doc should also consider putting Pavlovic in. He's such a good player for us, and would help us out so much in this game.TP, him or peitrus..why is peitrus sitting when ray is hurt..?
How can anyone stay positive?
The Celtics didnt show up, its either they mentally didnt show up or they are a bad team, pick one.
rondo still only has 3 assists. very weird.
Guess Steamer is in the dog house again. If that kid makes a mistake, it's over. Good way to keep someone's confindence up.doc-o-nomics...!
Honestly, how many players in this league are worse than Ryan Hollins?
I really don't think I can watch this anymore. This is extremely ugly.
Rondo with stupid flashy play down by 5, you have to be kidding me
I hate Ryan Hollins.Doc has just banned you from the forums.
Hopefully, Dooling can come in and keep things going. ;)dooling has done some good things......you forgot sasha on docs list....he must have wenty after too many rebounds.....and hit that late 3....
OyIf he could hit a wide open shot, we'd by up with a food lead
Come on Bass!
What is the deal with these horrible rotations? Doc is smart so I have no idea what his problem is right now.Well, who is in charge of the rotations..?
Doc Rivers is an awful coach when it comes to making adjustments.it is opposite day for doc..LOL..TP....
He keeps players that are playing well glued to the bench, and increases minutes for the players that are playing badly.
We are actually shooting under 30 percent as a team right now.
We are shooting 29% through almost 3 quarters. This is amazing.
It's games like these where we need Rondo to be aggressive and score in the lane.
Yet he refuses to drive the ball with any consistency. Absolutely ridiculous.

Are you watching? Everytime he has went to the paint it has been an absolute road block. And everytime he kicks it back out it's led to a brick.
Please get Hollins off the court, he is doing NOTHING.
Get ready for Game 7..
Get ready for Game 7..
Nope
who would put in hollins instead of peitrus...? Steamer after his last game...? Doc has $$$ on philly......no, he wants to WIN IT AT HOME...just like the championship we almost won vs the lakers...!
Get ready for Game 7..
Nope
Ditto. The Celts are going to come through down the stretch.
Who else do we have other than Hollins? Steamer? SUCKS. Ray? SUCKS.wasn't steamer 5 for 5 last game..?
All things said. Only being down by 4 points shooting 32% for the game, is pretty encouraging.
peitrus....sasha.....Who else do we have other than Hollins? Steamer? SUCKS. Ray? SUCKS.wasn't steamer 5 for 5 last game..?
You know, I'd be willing to bet Sean Williams understands our system infinitely more than Hollins. Id kill to see him get minutes over that dude.

Ryan Hollins is a [dang] embarassment.
How are you 7 foot tall and athletic but can convert a wide open alley oop?
I swear this team is so frustrating at times, its like they play bad on purpose to play possum, I dont get it. I really dont.
How can some of you have championship title hopes for this team?
Compare the Spurs to us, were trying hard and cant even score over 20 points in a half.
Philly are one of the worst teams in the league the closing stretches of a tight game.
The Celtics have the advantage in a close game in the final 4-6 minutes. Philly will panic offensively.
Great defense and great offense. Game 7 here we come, I think.
It's over. Tihis is the worst game I've ever seen us play. Period.
Rondo getting totally outplayed tonight, when we need him the most...
It's over. Tihis is the worst game I've ever seen us play. Period.
It appeared to me that pierce was frustrated with Rondo when he was talking to him on the bench.
sure could use a guy that protects the rim right now.. anyone know where we can find one?? Oh yeah... Hollins was playing in his place for some unknown reason. Steamer is one of the big reasons the Celts were the #4 seed. Now suddenly Hollins is better than him? He couldn't get time in Cleveland!! Then got cut. I don't get it..doc.....ugh...tp...!
When is someone in the media going to call out Doc for his awful decisions?Doc is too likeable, I think Magic the other day said that Doc is one of the best at in game adjustments.
Rondo doesn't want to win... Plain and Simple.
Still a ton of time.
Feed the Captain
Rondo is atrocious tonight.
Paul Pierce, the only one playing how this entire team should be playing.
I never want to see Ray Allen in a Celtics jersey again. :-X
Rondo is atrocious tonight.
Everyone but Pierce is atrocious tonight.
What are the options for this team?
Get smoked in the ECF?
Get smoked in the Finals?
Somehow win this series?
For any of you that have any confidence in this team next game. I'm humbled by you.
So, um...I think we're going to win this game
For any of you that have any confidence in this team next game. I'm humbled by you.
For any of you that have any confidence in this team next game. I'm humbled by you.Yeah, no one should be confident about a game seven. Anything can happen and it probably will.
Rondo is atrocious tonight.
Everyone but Pierce is atrocious tonight.
And? It is Rondo's job to lift the team up when they are sucking.
For once could you just stop passing the blame? Jesus.

Ray "Im still a contract player and starter in this league" Allen everyone.Give him credit for trying but I really think that if Bradley is out for game 7, C's will be in a dogfight to win that game. only reason I think the C's aren't a lock to lose is that they shoot much better in the Garden
For any of you that have any confidence in this team next game. I'm humbled by you.
You mean Game 1 of the ECF?

This game has not getting out of the ECF written all over it... if they get there at all that is, I have my doubts now
We have been absolutely DESTROYED at the guard position tonight. Thoroughly dominated.
Ugh, Daniels has got to be sharper defensively.

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.
doc got it so wrong should of had a lot more dooling on williams/holiday, and played a shot blocker in steamer in the paint philly wanted to penetrate and own the paint doc allowed them again

game over, we deserve to be eliminated after this performance
Never thought I would say this but not having bradley is why they can't close these posers out.
The games I have watched live game 2, game 4, and this game.
Im officially a curse. ::)
We should have given the ball the Pierce all night.Only problem is Doc has no clue what he is doing.

Only problem is Doc has no clue what he is doing.
I agree completely. They have NOBODY who can protect the rim! Their shotblockers suck! (actually, they don't really have any)
The fact that we've been outscored so horribly in the paint by them is pathetic. Bad coaching, and bad playing. KG needs to stop acting like he's allergic to the paint and go down on the block. Rondo needs to drive to the hoop more and stop blowing layups. And what happened to Bass taking it inside and getting dunks?
i believe
Ray hitting shots now. Unbelievable
Too little to late
Would it be better if he missed them, just to justify your ridiculous criticisms?
a good shot, a good stop
Why didn't we play Keyon Dooling more than we did? He's proven to be able to run our offense when Rondo decides to play like poopoo..
I hope Ray Allen never wears a celtics uniform again.Never understand the personal attacks, especially when Ray is clearly hurt.

Ridiculous criticisms? *Haha. The guy is shooting like 15%. ::)
ray allen fouls out.
I can't even wrap my mind around how bad Ray Allen is. I have never seen him this bad in his entire career.

So you judge players based on one game's stats? Try forming a reasoned judgement that transcends your knee jerk blather and perhaps you wouldn't embarrass yourself on message boards while generally annoying everyone else.

Only fitting to have Ray foul out of the game lolyup, just when he starting hitting shots
Just mad they are being pushed by a jv team like the sixers.
This should surprise nobody. Boston is going choke away this series to an inferior team.

Sixers arent a JV team, they are a young, contender that just took out the #1 seeded Bulls in 6 games, now look poised to take out the old injured Celtics in 7.
Give them credit, they played terrible and still won 3 games, they are the better team.
for the sake of the NBA, both teams should be eliminated after tonight's performance

Is it even worth it to win game 7?
Id rather lose now and play the injured excuse then get slaughtered in the ECF by Indiana or Miami.

It really is embarrassing how bad these teams are
Game 7: Who will refs and Stern choose? Wjether that is the casr or not watching refs manipulate games to keep it close in the playoffs it feels that way. ::)

I never said they did! I meant for a few games this playoffs, they helped to extend series.
i l;ove how espn is already pitching boston vs miami
Watching this game though, I do wonder if Rondo was totally plugged in.
It just simply didn't seem like "Rondo".....

Thats Rondo for you.
Plays like a superstar in some games, plays like hes not even on the court in others.
This is a travesty. The Eastern conference is an embarrassment.It seriously is, and say we do win the next game sadly without Bradley we got no shot to beat Miami we'll win 1 game maye 2.
Eastern Conference would have been fine had Rose and Noah not been injured. Bulls were likely the best team in the league.This is a travesty.

It'll be injuries yet again (Bradley, Jeff Green, Wilcox etc) that do us in year after year.
