76ers young, dangerous

WALTHAM — It will be cheesesteaks instead of prime steaks. It
will be the unexpected eighth seed instead of the team with
the best regular-season record in the Eastern Conference.
But Celtics [team stats] followers should certainly not get
comfortable now that the team of their affection is playing
Philadelphia rather than Chicago in the second round. Instead
of dealing with the City of the Big Shoulders, the Celts will
go against the place you got sick of watching in those
Southwest Airlines commercials — even though there is “a lot
of culture” in Philly.
But even though the 76ers were aided in their quest for
advancement after Derrick Rose went down for the series in the
last minute and a half of Game 1, you overlook them at your
own peril.
“Other people can,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said yesterday.
“We’re not.
“This is a difficult matchup for us — probably in some ways
more so (than Chicago) because they have more athleticism. The
athleticism is what’s bothered us in the past. They have
speed and athleticism and youth. That has been just as deadly
for us.”
Speed and athleticism and youth...sure. But the 76ers don’t
have anyone who does sneaker commercials.
And while that fact may diminish them in the eyes of the
shallow, it may actually serve to make the Sixers more
formidable. You never know where it’s coming from a team
whose sixth man — Lou Williams — is one of its most lethal
weapons.
“It doesn’t matter,” said Ray Allen of the sneaker snub. “
I think people get caught up in that, but it doesn’t matter.
“You’ve got to respect them 100 percent. You can’t (be)
thinking this is a team that nobody knows who exactly is on
the team that can play well. They’ve got guys that play hard.
They’ve got a deep bench.
“You go into a playoff series, and these guys are playing
well together. It’s not about one guy taking the shot. Those
are the teams that are more dangerous, because you have an
all-around attack.”
An attack that is aimed at some of the Celtics’ weaknesses —
the bad turnovers, etc. This is not a great matchup at all
for the Shamrock-ing Chair A.C.
“They will be (a tough opponent),” Rajon Rondo [stats] said.
“They’re a very young, athletic team that causes a lot of
turnovers, and they’re a unique team — kind of similar to
Indiana. Not just one guy is the star. Five or six guys score
in double-digits, so it’s going to have to be a great team
effort from us just to slow those guys down.”
And as Paul Pierce [stats] pointed out, it’s a matter of the
math.
“It’s the second round,” he said. “Teams get better.”
While the Celtics get more pained. Allen, Pierce, Avery
Bradley and Mickael Pietrus are hurting, and the fact they
have to answer the Game 1 bell tonight could be an issue
against a team that may also have finished Round 1 on Thursday
but is walking into the Garden on younger legs.
“I’m not real thrilled about it,” Rivers said, “but,
listen, we both have to play on Saturday. You look at the
Miami series; they don’t have to play until Sunday. I don’t
get the whole thing, but it is what it is.”
Well, then you should have taken care of things in Game 5 on
Tuesday in Atlanta. Then you could have watched the Bulls and
Sixers bump and grind to the buzzer while sitting on a couch
eating popcorn.
“Yeah,” Rivers said, “we should have won Tuesday. We should
have done a lot of things.”
And by all regular-season rights, the Celtics should be facing
Chicago in this second round. Before the playoffs began, they
were fully figuring to be running with the Bulls if they got
through Atlanta.
“Of course,” Pierce said. “I mean, they were the favorite,
the No. 1 seed. But you can’t take (Philadelphia) lightly.”
Allen agreed.
“They’re here for a reason,” he said. “You know, Philly’s
here for a reason. You can’t look at a team as an 8 seed and
say one way or the other. You’ve got to come out and be very
particular in how you approach this game and how you focus on
trying to beat this team and move on. I don’t look at any
seed.
“Chicago, despite being injured, you look at their record
without Derrick Rose and they played great basketball all
year. Philly still beat them and beat them convincingly.”
Now the Celtics have to convince their subconscious that the
76ers can run them out of the building tonight. If the
Bostonians don’t play with aggression and urgency, Philly is
more than capable of driving a cheesesteak through their heart.

Doc Rivers: 別人可能會小看七六人，但我們不能
這個對戰組合對我們來說很嚴苛
某些層面來說比對戰公牛更糟，因為七六人的運動能力更好
對手的運動能力相當困擾我們，
七六人有速度 年輕 體能也好
是我們的罩門

Ray Allen: 七六人是值得百分百尊敬的對手，
你不能以為他們是一整隊的無名小卒，
他們每一個人都能打、打很兇，而且板凳深度也好
進入季後賽，他們的團隊運做得相當好，是支危險的隊伍
並不是守住一個關鍵球員就沒事了
他們的攻擊點很多

Rajon Rondo: 他們會是難纏的對手，非常年輕且運動能力好，還會製造對手失誤
有點像溜馬，不是單一球星的球隊
有五六個人得分可以上雙，
所以我們必須發揮團隊戰力盡量拖慢他們的速度

Paul Pierce:數字很重要。這是第二輪，每隻球隊都會有所提升。

Rivers: 我不是在恐嚇你，但聽好了，這系列在周六開打，
但你去看看熱火的賽程，禮拜天才打
這不合理，但沒辦法
是阿，我們應該在周二結束上個系列，我們有很多應該完成的事
: “Of course,” Pierce said. “I mean, they were the favorite,
: the No. 1 seed. But you can’t take (Philadelphia) lightly.”
Pierce: 當然，我們原本是預計要打公牛，他們可是第一種子耶
但也絕對不能小看費城
: “They’re here for a reason,” he said. “You know, Philly’s
: here for a reason. You can’t look at a team as an 8 seed and
: say one way or the other. You’ve got to come out and be very

: year. Philly still beat them and beat them convincingly.”
Ray: 他們是打贏第一輪才到這裡的，你不能用第八種子來看低費城
你必須要全力以赴、拿出看家本領、針對對手的優缺點出擊來打敗他們
我是不看種子順位的
公牛隊輸給傷病，但回顧整年他們在ROSE缺席的比賽還是打得非常好，
而費城還是能夠打敗這樣的強隊。
