I got nothing, just shat all around. Although a properly called flagrant 2 on Tucker might have made a big difference.
Game 1 vs. Philadelphia—Just Win
- Thread starter RedOctober3829
- Start date
younger Boston sports fans who came of age around Vinatieri's first kick are getting a taste of per-2001
This is the least surprising thing ever. They can still win the series, but the Cs are such an immature, soft team.
Okay, but Harden hit a step back 3 with Al's hand in his face. Can't do anything about that unless you think another player would have blocked it.
I hate Philly with a deep passion, but they earned a shit ton of respect tonight
Good thing there's plenty of time for the Celts to learn their lesson

It’ll go 7 so we can blow it at home in the most excruciating way possible. That’s what we do!
Us being marginally less sloppy, and being less lazy on D would have made a big difference. This is on us.
They made the finals last year. Do you remember the Bucks series? Like at all?
Jesus the narratives here are such loser shit.
I don’t know what this team expects to happen in these games when they approach them like this. Like, what is their approach to this postseason?
yeah, i think he's fine, it's not on the coach that they throw the ball away, it's not on the coach that they put no effort in on D for 3 quarters. Not much he can do with that if his stars won't lead
Sixers 12-12 from the line, won the turnover battle by 10, lead to 14 extra shots.
I still think I would have tried to make the last shot, rather than go fast.
Same shot that beat us that Trae hit.

And yet the Celtics never seem to do that, because Philly's worst defender is worse than Boston's.
Our best player can’t create off the dribble like other best players can. We can’t slow it down because he can’t dominate in that particular way and as a result we end up taking awful shots. It’d probably be fine if we would just acknowledge it and play to our strengths
Celtics shoot 58.7%, go 17-18 from the line, get 39 from Tatum (and 11 boards), only commit 10 fouls, have 26 assists, 23 from Brown on 8-10 shooting, and even get 20 from Brogdon off the bench....and lose to a 76er team without Embiid.
I remember the Finals. And the many ECFs. They often lose in key spots. I said they could still win this series. But they are who they are.
These guys should have honorary PhDs for the number of lessons they’ve learned the past five years
What did he do wrong today? Not get the ball back from the PG? He took it to the rim to get the lead back before the Harden three..
Guy can never win regardless of what he does I guess...always his fault.
No reason to have any confidence. The defense is ATROCIOUS and only got some stops when Maxey was playing a bit selfish. They are going to drop coverage their way to the Bahamas unless Embiid comes back to slow down Philly’s offense.
Coach isn’t going to suddenly change the scheme and we sure as shit know they aren’t going to take care of the ball or play we’ll close and late.

Good - it's the truth.
Go watch the last few minutes of this one.
You show me this is the guy that's carrying his team to victory.
If you do that - and still say yes - you know nothing about NBA playoff basketball.
To be fair, he had 30 with 9 minutes left in the 3rd. Did not a lot the 2nd half.
