-----------------------------------------------

Philly showed some grit and toughness beating down on a psychologically drained Baby Bulls team. And I think they will prove a tough gritty matchup for the Celtics. But Boston will take these guys out in 6 games. HOFers Pierce, Garnett, and the young Rondo will put up the points for Boston. Where will Philly's come from consistently?

KG is playing of his mind. don't even need to mention rondo. just wait till paul pierce and ray allen are healthy.

celtics in 6

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Philly. Couldn't care less though honestly

[Panthers128]

Philly is going to run Boston out of the gym. This will be the end of the Celtics run. They'll be rebuilding for years after this modern Boston Massacre they'll incur.

Philly in 4.

[Kakarot]

Tough series to predict, can honestly see it going both ways. I like Philly in 6

[Kevin Greene]

Luck of the Irish in 5.

KG is playing of his mind. don't even need to mention rondo. just wait till paul pierce and ray allen are healthy.

celtics in 6

yep, out of his mind*

[Kevin Greene]

Look out, the Old Guys are warming up.

[King Taharqa]

76ers upset Celtics in Boston in Game 2. Series is now tied 1-1. Philly now holds homecourt advantage.

[nickzz]

if paul pierce gets healthy i think boston should have no problem winning this series

[King Taharqa]

Boston up big early in Philly. They lead the series 2-1 and look to take a commanding 3-1 lead tonight before they head back to Bean Town.

[King Taharqa]

Philly pulls off the W at home to even the series 2-2. Game 5 will be in Boston on Sunday.

[Kramerica]

What a fun game to watch. Still think Boston takes this in 6...possibly 7. But the Sixers made one hell of a comeback.
