Celts are in one of those gorgeous basketball zones right now. Smart playing great. When they drive consistently to the net it forces the other team to eventually collapse and that opens the perimeter 3's. That is how our offense plays championship basketball.

So - Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Bam, Herro, Vincent, Strus and Martin. Bring it on. Herro is likely out for the series. 23 days ago-Herro underwent successful open reduction and internal fixation surgery on the third and fourth metacarpal of his right hand Friday and is expected to miss at least six weeks.

Like I said I finally got home to sit down and watch the game with under seven minutes left so take this with a grain of salt, but Tatum certainly did appear to salvage the game with the barage of late 3's. Maybe what your saying is akin to a closer in baseball can't get a save if he created the save situation himself?? We all know that the refs were in concert with the league to give this game to the Cs. A 7 game series is what the league wants to maximize revenues. Am I right? So the Cs do not deserve credit as the outcome was preordained. At least this is what I have heard here. I'm not saying this proves anything but it is certainly interesting www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37649189/76ers-doc-rivers-disappointed-game-6-officiating-errors

Digging up old posts is clown behavior. Not to mention this is what I said after the game 6: “He deserves a ton of credit…not just because of the shots he hit late, but he had a great floor game outside of shooting. At the same time, he’s had several slow starts in a row now, and it’s been putting the team in a tight spot. He needs to be better from the jump on Sunday.“ So words don't mean anything now? Or do you just not like being held accountable for what you say? I know even championship teams look terrible some game, I've been there and know that and act accordingly and choose not to hurl inflamatory comments and demeaning insults when they do, afterall you are supposed to be a fan and believe in the team otherwise why would you follow them? I'm not claiming they are above criticism either. Moving on, I'm expecting a long series, I don't think the Heat have as much talent as we do HOWEVER they are very well coached, work their asses off and relentless and provide max effort. I think they get everything they can out of the talent they have. This is going to be a tough series so I hope out West they beat each other up. We should make it back to the Finals this year.

Williams has butterfingers. Refs having a bad game so far. At least 2 incorrect calls Good god they are having a worse game than anyone, can the refs foul out. They have missed multiple EASY calls and we are a few minutes into the second. We better start seeing that even out and quickly.

Not impressed. We are not playing fast enough, and playing poor defense. And shooting poorly. I think White is having his worst game of the year, leaving men wide open and seems hesitant in every action.

That is NOT what you heard. If you are going to drudge this up then at least pay attention. I have no complaints the past two games, although I have only watched the last 7 minutes of game 6 so who knows. We lost game five and I don't think the Zebras had anything to do with it. If you'd like to mock others maybe you shoud watch the documentaries or articles written about it first and not take my 'word'. Researching something is always a good thing. The long and short of it is that the league does not "RIG" any playoff game, however they will influence them. According to Donaghy, former NBA ref, before series starts the league sits down with the refs and instructs them to enforce certain rules which of course helps one team over the other, and it tends to extend series so the league makes millions more in profits. Sometimes even when this occurs teams play so well they overcome it anyway. I'm sorry but I don't think an NBA came up with this on his own, it's a brilliant way to cheat and next to impossible to get caught. Before you respond do your research and you can respond directly and keep it off the board. My friend, I don't have such a jaundiced or conspiratorial view of the league, refs or people in general. I have greater faith which you might decry as being naive. Thank goodness tho or otherwise I would be continually angry and mistrusting of so many things that I have no control over...Oooff. My view though reflects what ACTUALLY occured. I'd like to put on the rose colored glasses too but I can't deny reality no matter how blissful the alternative maybe.

Seems weird to not give Tatum any credit last night. There was the glaring bad shooting for 3.5+ quarters but he also had the mental toughness to close the game like a killer despite that and he contributed in other ways despite his struggles and had the right attitude after the game. I mean sure, focus on the bad but all that good shows maturity and growth as a player. One of the team leaders in rebounding and assists and the leader in steals and blocks. Criticism, sure, but no credit at all? He deserves a ton of credit…not just because of the shots he hit late, but he had a great floor game outside of shooting. At the same time, he’s had several slow starts in a row now, and it’s been putting the team in a tight spot. He needs to be better from the jump on Sunday. I agree and conversely Brown gets off to terrifc starts, often, and deserves more credit. Brown has been a more efficient scorer than Tatum his entire career. The whole credit and criticism angle, both can be in play.

Tatum really did play a crap game and those couple threes at the end don’t really salvage it.

Wow, now I'm pissed I missed most of the game. I know a lot of people hate close nail-biters, I love them. I like being so nervous I have to get up and walk around to burn off that nervous energy. This team can certainly be maddening but they still can be World Champions at least they can be, until at least Sunday, and for that I'm thankful.

It’s game 6, it’s tied late in the 4th quarter, and Jayson Tatum has the body language of someone who wants this to be over. That’s the problem. That certainly didn't age well at all.

Sorry I was at an event for work, made it back home with about 6 minutes left seeing if I can bring some of the Irish luck with me. I think I'm glad I missed most the game, checked in to see them leading by 12 nearly every time

Get Marcus off this team and fire Mazzulla into the sun. What an absolute failure of a team. I can finally agree with you on something. I've been advocating trading Smart since he won the defensive player of the year award, figuring you could get back more than he's worth. That and while I do appreciate his immeasurable abilities its his measurable abilites that leave me drained, taking way to many shots way way to often.

A cure to many of their ills is hitting some more of their wide-open shots, way to many missed.

I thought you were told to knock it off? I'm offering something other than how terrible they are and whining about it. and then when the team comes back claims it worked as if the team is reading this board during the game. Philly is likely to blow their shot in the first quarter. Seeing the overall scoring and how when we won we won handily and the Sixers scraped out 2 (ahem) games. So far I think we clearly are the better team. I don't expect to see any outside agendas other than at most one more game in the series. I record all the games and often start them late so I can fast forward thru commercials so that effects sharing in game commentary. You were told to knock it off not me. You've also not answered my question of how old you are. I'm guessing 16? It was addressed to knock off referee talk. You brought it up again.

And you are asking me about my age?. There is a very good chance I'm older than you. I used to work on an Army base in Watertown as a kid and the facilites guy working there allways whined all the time about the Sox. Sound familar? I told them I'd rather be wrong a thousand times and have my heart broke each time, than miss the ride when they win because I was bitching all the time about how terrible they are. That shut them up. In real life that'd likely work here too but behind keyboards I know it won't.

One of the 3 announcers is so pro-Philly with his hyperbole etc it's obnoxious. Do you ever have anything to say about the game, or is it just refs or announcers? I thought you were told to knock it off? I'm offering something other than how terrible they are and whining about it. and then when the team comes back claims it worked as if the team is reading this board during the game.

This team has zero leadership, and it shows. You mean the team that won several game 7's last year and if anything is a better team this year, that team?
