1. Celtics Stuff
* Horford averaging 11 shots a game
* Horford 6 shots / Baynes 7 shots
* Rozier at home in the playoffs – 22.8 a game
* Rozier on the road in the playoffs – 12.8 a game
2. Sixers Stuff
* TJ McConnell has been profiled – even McHale was throwing little white guy comments out like – “he’s gritty”
* Love Simmons going behind the back pass in the playoffs for a turnover
* Ebid still chirping
* Simmons in series 20-44 (45%) / 26 assists to 20 turnovers (1.30)
* McConnell – 15-18 (83%) / 12 assists to 2 turnovers (6.00)
3. Refs
* Somewhere Tim Donaghy is saying – I told you so
* The refs controlled the game with getting Celtics in early foul trouble – at halftime – 16 fouls on Celtics – 8 on Sixers
* Why didn’t they look for a flagrant for the elbow by Ebid – back of Smarts head?
* Calling travel on Celtics when Simmons travels every time he gets in the pain is ridiculous
* At one point I backed up the DVR to count Saric in the lane for 8 seconds
* Saric and Belinelli are European soccer whiners
* Stevens should get on the refs on Ebid moving picks – he knocked out Larkin and almost concussion on Smart
4. First round picks last year – must kill Philly fans watching Tatum knowing he couldn’t have been theirs
5. Celtics are 11 for their last 43 from three point land – 25%
6. Bird 9 playoff games his rookie year vs. Tatum:
* Bird – 21.33 a game – 9 games
* Tatum – 18.33 last nine games
7. Amazing Stat – Celtics at the point:
· Marcus Smart in seven games has an insane 21 turnovers in 216 minutes (one every ten minutes)
· Terry Rozier over the last seven games has 8 turnovers in 262 minutes (one every 32 minutes)
8. Old School – How absurd is three point shooting in the NBA right now:
* Aron Baynes took six three pointers Monday night
* Larry Bird didn’t take six three pointers in his last 65 playoff games
9. Just a Little Bit Outside – Charles Barkley comment of the night when being told what Summa Cum Laude means – he said “oh that’s when my tutor who did my homework got.”
10. Randomocity
* McHale going over the top to not seem favorable to Celtics?
* Larry Bird was 24 his first playoffs – Tatum is 20
* Marcus Morris was putting the 3-0 series lead in Ebid’s face – he better not let them come back
* Toronto should be relegated to the WNBA
