This is getting maddening. I know we're a little thin but there is no excuse for this effort

[ejk3489]

Yikes this is such a maddening game...we should be blowing them out right now.

[snively]

Ray with one of the worst oop passes of all time.

Erden is killing our team D.  Constantly out of position.

[slamtheking]

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 play

TP for stating the obvious... Pierce just didnt come out to play tonight!!

[angryguy77]

Someone remind me why I'm bothering to watch this game

[snively]

Arghh

[slamtheking]

wow, just no effort or intelligent play out there.  It's like watching a game from the second half of last year. 

Where's Sheed?     he's a Philly guy---did he stop by the locker room before the game?

Pierce has the flu. Probably should not be playing.

As far as the defense goes, with Semih on the floor, the whole concept of team defense disappears. Also, it is clear Rondo cannot move well enough to guard anyone.

Probably will take a miracle to win this one tonight, but longer term I am extremely concerned with all of these injuries, especially Rondo's.

truth. pierce didn't come out to play, semih is looking bad, and davis really hasn't been himself either. that, combined with letting the 76ers get whatever shots they want, has led to a pretty ugly game.

[celticinorlando]

nice effort tonight Boston. letting a very bad sixer team run all over you has no defense

[slamtheking]

ditto

it's games like this that remind me why I don't buy regular season tickets any more.

[celticinorlando]

i had to turn it off. they make me very angry on nights like this...and i dont want to be angry tonight

[vinnie]

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.

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
