I was hoping he'd play more minutes during the regular season, but was always thinking he'd be a deep bench guy during the playoffs. If anyone was going to contribute, it would be Gallinari if he was WAY ahead of schedule.
In theory, Muscala would be perfect against Embiid as a change up. Draw him out of the paint on off , and lean on him and wait for the double on defense

I feel like if the Celtics trade PP he has a real chance of being a 20/8 assists guy on a bad team. that's not criticism---it's more a statement that for all his limitations there's some real game there too.

Statement game, blowout despite the best player with a subpar performance.

The couple in that reggie Miller commercial clearly aren’t basketball fans. If they were, they would try to get him arrested to they didn’t have to hear his commentary anymore

It kind of sucks having Pritchard stapled to the bench. He’s really good, just not as good as the sixth man of the year. If we could trade him for the wing version of Pritchard it would be great.

We know that Joe is a bad coach because he denied us the White and the whites lineup, even a single minute of it would have been great.
Bill Bradley (I think), once attributed the old Knicks' success to "a bunch of black guys and a white coach named Red."
(Obviously an earlier celtic couldve said the same)

Justin Champagnie now has more fouls in the playoffs in the NBA than I do.

It really did not take him long to pass me.

So today I embarked on a pre-game tradition that almost always works: I had a Philly cheesesteak-style pizza. Devour their souls in consumption as the team does on the court.

My goodness that defense was stifling and strangling the second half. Beautiful.

Wish Sixers could Have missed some of these shots in game 1 or they judge the series on point differential

If I told you guys that Tatum would play 19 minutes, go 1-7 from the field and score 7 total points....

what would you say the final score was
Throw in Horford's brickfest, and the outcome is even more improbable.

This is a super talented team and they're so fun to watch. Great game on the defensive end, that set the tone and once the 3s started raining, it was goodnight.

Damn I wish Pritch was bigger, he's so talented, tough, and brings the intensity.

Same. He brings energy and intensity on a team that needs it a little too often. Tough being the 4th guard on the Cs
Agreed. I wish he'd play a bit more, mostly when they are slacking. I get why he doesn't---he isn't as good as the guys ahead of him--but he has a certain kind of game and is a huge win for where he was picked.

Well, other than that Bane was there too....

Sports are funny and kind of dumb like that sometimes. If you had told me Tatum would go for an extremely efficient 39 and Tatum/brogdon would combine for an even more efficient 43 AND it was against an embiid less sixers team I’d guess celts won about 121-87.

Hope you weren't watching your weight for the next week or so, because on behalf of everyone I demand you get another cheesesteak pizza on Friday night.
