Game Thread: Celtics At 76ers, 7:00 PM ET, February 5, 2014

[Brahmsian]

I and many other Bostonians will welcome a chance to get our minds off our latest snowstorm!

Celtics come in 16-33, 22.5 games behind in the conference, 7-18 away.

76ers are 15-34, 8-16 at home.

How many minutes will Rondo play tonight? While Pressey has looked good in Rondo's absence Rajon isstill my favorite Celtic. Jared Sullinger will probably become that if Rondo leaves but the less I have to think about that possibility the better.

Celtics can be counted on to keep playing hard all game however things are going. Can Philadelphia? I'll leave it to their fans to post on my question.

GO CELTICS!

I think will win and Rondo will play 30 minutes or so. I wanna see Rondo have a big game tonight.

I think will win and Rondo will play 30 minutes or so. I wanna see Rondo have a big game tonight.

And I want to see an end to the talk about him being traded or leaving as an FA.

That crap is not aging well.

 

[Brahmsian]

Rondo is stating the game, for whatever that's worth.

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

3 rebounds and a block already for Sullinger 4 minutes in!

Talk about keepers!

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

How many other Celtics fans plan on watching the OverHEATed game on ESPN after this and pulling for Doc's team to beat LeWrong Shames' team?

 

[Brahmsian]

1 corner 3 made by Bayless followed by a miss from more straightaway.

Don't settle for straightaway 3s, Green Team. Those are NOT percentage shots! For ANYBODY!

 

[Brahmsian]

Don't you love the way no one walks up the court when Rajon's in he game?

Any Sixer fans going to post in this thread?

Rondo looking good with 9 assists at the half. Even though he's not 100% this team is so much better to watch with him

 

[LogicMan]

sure is

 

[Brahmsian]

5 Celtics ahead of Rondo in points scored, but he's ahead of all of them on +/-.

That's doing what a PG is supposed to do!

GO BOSTON!

 

[BobGnarly]

Green is on fire. 30 with 3:30 left in the 3rd 5/5 from beyond the arc

 

[Brahmsian]

Rondo's played 22:34 in 3 quarters, taken only 6 shots in that time but has the best +/- on either team!

SOMEONE has to take a shot every possession but it shouldn't be the PG all that often.

WAY TO GO RAJON!

 

[Brahmsian]

Too soon to bring Rondo back in but Pressey for Bayless looks like a good idea to me.

GO CELTICS!!!!

 

[BobGnarly]

8 pts 9 reb 11 ast in 32 minutes for Rondo. Not too shabby

 

[Brahmsian]

Not saying Jeff Green didn't have a good game but he's going to get more than his share of the publicity tomorrow.

Right team won and that's the important thing.

If Doc Rivers' Clippers can cool of the OverHEATed in the game starting about an hour from now
it will be worth staying up for. It's on ESPN, FYI.

Who else plans to watch it?

 

[BobGnarly]

I'll be watching from the west coast.

Nice game by Sully and Green last night. Sully is becoming a favorite of Rondo
