I just don't want to see us get blown out. As long as we compete and play tough I'll be happy. Miller especially really needs to stand up this game.

Cassell will officially make his debut tonight.

I think my kool-aid is running out.

Get Evans out of there.

Not a good start against the most over-achieving team in NBA history. I just don't think the Celtics are that good, and I don't care about their record. I can't see them getting out of the first or second round.

Anyway, the Sixers are beating themselves thus far. They need to calm down.

i guess they feel like making a statement?

Wow they need to call a play that doesn't involve Sammy down on the block.

great start
in the last few games every time they go to Sam in the first few minutes
its not working. not in the last few games and not today, all it does it make Sam taking bad tough shots

well good job Mo

Yes they do and I really don't want to play them in the first round. We have to get back a lot faster and defend the three pointer on the break.

Thad would have looked a lot better in there. Why didn't we just try to put him on KG?

I told you all that a good defensive team that reads the scouting report would shut that pull up jumpshot of Iggy down.

GET EVANS OUT OF THERE

Nice move by Iggy

Damn Iggy that was NASTY!

This start is just fine .... the Celtics will be prancing ... while the Sixers are grinding ...

Remember, the Sixers do not give up ...

I love Mo's heart. But there will always be times that I question his brain. Whats' going on inside there? 'hmmm Thaddeus isn't a great start against KG. I should go with Evans.' Ok, I get that.

But why in God's name does that warrant starting WG over Thad? Why can't Mo think outside the box? If you really want to use Evans at the 4, then start Iggy & Thad together on the wings.

How could you possibly bench him the way he's been playing? In my mind, Thad's been the primary reason for this season's resurgence. You're already at a disadvantage up front... Why not use your advantage on the wings? WG doesn't scare anybody. He's so vanilla.

^^^

So in other words.... If you're already at a mismatch in one phase of the game (up front) .... Why not create a mismatch for the other team at a different position (wings)? Create an advantage for yourself somewhere. That's good coaching.

With this starting lineup, the Celts hold an advantage in almost every phase of the court. Be creative, Mo!

I see that Iggy has made an early adjustment, he's no longer pounding the ball attempting to lull the defender to sleep for his pull up jump shot because the Celtics are playing him for that, so now he has his drive and dish game going on.
