What the fuck?!? The Philadelphia 76ers just beat the Boston Celtics!.. In freaking Boston!

Yes people, it happened.

As the 2007-08 NBA basketball season shifts towards the postseason, something happened right then and there on the basketball court that even the basketball gods should find disrespectful.

People, the Philadelphia 76ers just defeated the No.1 team in the NBA, the Boston Celtics. Shocking huh? Oh yeah, get this… The Sixers did it at the TD Banknorth Garden right in front of the Celtics fans in freakin’ Boston. How’s that for the shocker of all shockers eh?

The 76ers came up with a remarkable, 19-0 run to bring them Andre Iguodalaback from a double-digit, fourth-quarter deficit and beat the powerhouse Boston Celtics team, 95-90, last Monday.

The win moved the 76ers above .500 for the first time this season. But of course, getting above .500 shouldn’t mean anything but beating the freakin’ Boston Celtics in Boston will.

Andre Iguodala scored 10 straight points in the final quarter to help his 76ers engineer such a devastating loss to the No.1 team in the NBA. He finished with a game-high 28.

‘’It shows how hard we’ve worked to get back,'’ Andre Iguodala said.

‘’But I think we still have to have that mentality like we’re a team that’s still under .500 and still fighting. It’s not over yet. We’ve gotten to a point where we want to be, which is over .500, but we still don’t have an ‘X’ by our name,'’ Iguodala added, referring to a playoff berth.

‘’It’s huge when you come in here and win a game like this against Boston, it does a lot for us,'’ Philadelphia 76ers head coach Maurice Cheeks said. ‘’We still have a long way to go. This is just one step to try and get to where we want to be.'’
