    Missed the game. My Celtics fan friend was just mad at the Celtics. Mad at Rondo for wasting his talent and the Celtics for not caring.

    He gave props to Philly for not giving up and pulling it out though.

    Looked at the box score and wow Evan Turner was terrible

    Yeah if Rose was still playing the Celtics wouldn't have much of a chance either. The Bulls healthy would have been the clear favorites out of the East at this point.

    Bradley has been playing on a dislocated shoulder that can pop out at any times. This hurts the Celtics though because Ray Allen is not normal with the bone spurs in his ankle

    Man Celtics starters are too damn good. They can without a bench.

    I'd probably prefer Celtics advance but like the commentators are always biased as hell for them against the 76ers, it's disgusting.

    Yeah, on the Celtics 3rd quarter run, they got away with a ton of grabs and clear fouls.

    Great run by them though

    It seemed like the Sixers couldn't play their defense without getting a late whistle on every play and they were freely getting abused on the other side which explains the large FT disparity. I would see Celtics in the Conf Finals sooner so it's not majorly upsetting me but I do dislike it.

    Great to see Iverson give the game ball. Really hope he can make a comeback to the NBA.

    Allen Iverson still look the same. He must be rolling in his grave when he see how these dudes dress in the NBA now.

    Was that not an obvious travel by Evan Turner?

    Is it just me or does Iggy's shot selection leave much to be desired? It is great when he is hot, but 18' contested jumpers seem to happen too often.

    Yet, they are very much in close contest.

    What does that say about Boston?

    With these bricks being thrown, they're gonna have to paint the rims before this one is over.

    Very hard to watch.
