With 11 minutes left in Game 1 the 76ers has a 10 point lead, and a chance to take control of the series. Instead, Rondo and KG crushed them and I believe the 76ers will look back at Game 1 as the game they should've had.
The 76ers and Celtics have now played 4 games this year, they have split it with the home team winning every game. Actually, last game was the firs time a game was decided by less then 10 points.
There is a big reason for that. These teams really couldn't be more different. Celtics are a half court veteran team that plays suffocating defense. The 76ers are a fast break teams that likes to try to run you out of the stadium. If the 76ers are able to play their game they could beat the Celtics by 20 points, but if the Celtics play their game the 76ers don't have the post guys or the shooters to stay in the game.
The difference in this series is KG and Rondo. The 76ers have no answer for them and we saw that again last game. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce combined to shoot 7-21 last game, I don't think that happens again and the Celtics take care of business.
Celtics win 98-88
Tommy Award: KG
Game starts at 7pm
