Sixers take game 2 in Beantown. Garnett thinks hes a Linebacker.

Last night the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 82-81. It wasnt pretty. Actually the game was hideous, but YOUR Philadelphia 76ers pulled it off. They showed me they can finish games unlike what they showed in-game 1 of the series. This win ties the series at 1-1. Makes you wish you had game 1 back, but how terrible we played in that game and then took game 2 I know the Celtics are nervous. The 2 plays that stick out in my mind that turned out to be crucial were Lavoy Allens banker and Evan Turners crazy lay-up. Both shots took place in the 4th quarter when points were needed the most. The Sixers only won by 1 point, what helped them out big time was hitting their free-throws at the end of the game. Evan Turner, Lou Williams and Jodie Meeks nailed all of their free-throws, going 6-6 in the remaining 12 seconds of play in the game. (See picture of final 12 seconds of scoring.)

The most controversial call of the game was the Kevin Garnett offensive foul on what would have been the last possession of the game. KG, trying to set a pick looked more like he was shedding a block like a linebacker. (See illegal screen here) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Eg99HojYA The only reason this was controversial is because of the timing of the foul. If this play was a no call and the Celtics hit that bucket and won in overtime you would be hearing Sixer fans bitching about the no call. The refs are put in a catch 22 situation, damned if you do damned if you don’t. They got the call right but from a lot of the former players your hearing them say “Let them play”. When Boston’s head coach Doc Rivers was asked what he thought of the call he was quoted saying “I wasnt fond of it.”. No shit Doc.

Series tied at 1 game a piece. Next 2 games are in Philadelphia. Boston is old and has no legs. Philadelphia can run, lets just hope they can finish. Show your luv Philadelphia. Passionate. Intense. Proud. Your Philadelphia 76ers are here and their not going anywhere.
