LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog: Fiddlin' and Diddlin'

Herald Philly has no love for C’s
FL's Take: Boston vs Philly used to be one of the biggest rivalries in the NBA, right up there with Boston vs LA. There has been a lot made of the renewed rivalry between the Celtics and Lakers and possiblity of a LA/Boston finals. But, the Sixers have quietly been building and their record over the last 27 games is the same as the Pistons. We could see a Boston/Philly finals. Wouldn't Barkley have fun then.

Garnett: Lesson learned
FL's Take: The Celtics have seen the best from teams all season. It isn't like it is just starting now. But, teams are now going into panic mode as they are playing for playoff position and the Celtics stand in their way and if the Celtics don't match their intensity, we are going to see more losses like the last 2.

C's lack the necessary intensity
FL's Take: It did seem like the Celtics just didn't bring it last night. They started off fairly well, but just seemed to fade after that. Whether it is Sam playing without really knowing the sets and disrupting the offensive flow, or fatigue from the road trip, the Celtics just didn't bring it last night.

Assist of the night - Rondo to Perk
FL's Take: I just love this play. It shows just how far these two young players have come. Rondo is doing things we didn't expect him to do for years. Perk is finally coming into his own and the best thing about it is that both are still very young and are just going to get better.

Hoopsworld 76ers beat Celtics with 19-0 run
FL's Take: That 19-0 run was inexcusable, even if they were tired and even if Doc was experimenting. The Celtics have built their record on their defense and last night they just didn't get the stops. Philly, on the other hand, did. It certainly looked like Philly just wanted that game more.

FL's Take: Two 4th quarter collapses in a row certainly makes for a bit of worry. The Celtics should be peaking now and beating the teams they may see in the playoffs. Instead, we are seeing them fall apart at the end of games. Definitely worrisome.

FL's Take: Doc says he is going to keep playing hard and not slack off but then he keeps the subs in for much of the 4th quarter last night. It seems as though he is saying one thing and doing another.
