I think it was a charge, but I also don’t know what a charge/block is anymore…..however, the foul on Marcus for being on the ground and that big galoot stepping on him is insaneThey don't call the offensive foul Smart was trying to draw on Embiid - fine, that's borderline. But then they say it's a foul on Smart because Embiid chose to drive and jump where Smart was laying on the ground, adding insult to injury.
I was just thinking that I'm amazed that he grabbed Jaylen from the bench and we got no advantage out of itI'm pretty shocked that Niang was allowed to grab Brown's knee without getting tossed
I don't think so, it wasn't the same call. Unless they think that Embiid landing on Smart was a charge.Challenging a block permits them to call a charge on review.
You missed the kick ball and backcourt violation.The Harden no touch foul
The double T
and Embiid stepping on Marucs to earn a foul (possible charge)
Are all so absurd
Thank goodness JT showed up. LFG
My guess is that it starts to favor the Celtics going forward. Refs are normally pretty predictable in that.I keep expecting the refs ease up as the game goes on, but who knows in this league.
I keep hearing that the C's need to flop to get callsThat’s not getting changed to a charge. Marcus flew back like he was shot out of a cannon.
Agreed, Embiid is dragging already physically. He can grift for a while, but he'll run out of gas. Keep attacking the rim and forcing him into the play.They need to keep attacking Embiid on offense. Yes that will result in the occasional block but it should also bring up his foul count and tire him out, and should open up more 3PA as others come down to help.
They can toss him. I don’t think we would get a FT since I don’t think you can pick up two Ts for the same act.I don't know if NBA rules allow for it, but any chance Niang is tossed (with maybe a tech FT for the Cs) once footage is reviewed during the half.
Totally agree. Don’t shy away. Make him work.They need to keep attacking Embiid on offense. Yes that will result in the occasional block but it should also bring up his foul count and tire him out, and should open up more 3PA as others come down to help.
And the replay just now on the Embiid block on Time Lord showed a clear foul that was uncalled.You missed the kick ball and backcourt violation.
Defense picked up and they were clearly energized off of it. Gotta keep pushing there.With about 8 remaining the Celtics started pushing the ball ferociously. That’s when it turned around.
Sixers saying that about the J’s.Hopefully, Embiid and Harden are getting worn out, and the other guys won't beat us.
The Jays are both in great shape.Sixers saying that about the J’s.
We’re younger though.
Hope to see some teammates step up and share the load.
Feels like it could be a dogfight all the way yo the end.
NBA just greenlit that behavior, all Brown did was recognize & call out the offender. He didn't push or even go after Niang.I was just thinking that I'm amazed that he grabbed Jaylen from the bench and we got no advantage out of it
Pennsylvania says hello[I still cannot fathom how Niang is still in this game. I mean, what the fuck was that call? You HAVE to eject someone for interfering with a play from the bench.
They looked at the footage already. Before that there wasn't even a technical calledI don't know if NBA rules allow for it, but any chance Niang is tossed (with maybe a tech FT for the Cs) once footage is reviewed during the half.
Well there was, just on the wrong guy.They looked at the footage already. Before that there wasn't even a technical called
I meant reviewed back in NY and called in.They looked at the footage already. Before that there wasn't even a technical called
Wait…I wasn’t near a tv at the time….they LOOKED AT IT AGAIN?!?!?!They looked at the footage already. Before that there wasn't even a technical called
He didn't look too tired to me. I hear you, but we really need him in this game. This is what all the load management was for. Game 7 is when you ride him a little more. He can rest before the next series.Timelord played 20 minutes in the first half. I’m a little worried about how he holds up on that pace after averaging 23.5 this season and under 22 in the playoffs so far.
I suspect they know they shouldn’t have called the T on Jaylen but did it to save face. Jaylen would presumably need to do something really bad to get a second one.
- Scott Foster really should rescind that T once he sees the context of what's going on. If Jaylen doesn't call attention to what happened there, they get away with the dirty behavior. What are you supposed to do?
- Watch out for PJ Tucker starting something with Jaylen in the second half.
I predicted 35+ from JT today, and they will need more that 10 second half points from him. 50 would not be a surprise.Tatum may need 50+
Call on the floor was a technical on Brown. Then they stopped play to look at it and called a double T with one on Niang as well, nothing else.Wait…I wasn’t near a tv at the time….they LOOKED AT IT AGAIN?!?!?!
Stephen A = idiotStephen A: Jayson has to get others involved.
Tatum assisted on 4 of the 12 non Tatum first half buckets.
zero bench points from Boston. 0-3 for MB and 0-2 for DW, who was minus 7 in 8 minutes,
#2 is a certainty. Let’s hope Jaylen has the Draymond “Anti-Ejectability” Cloak

I hope the refs realize they already made up for whatever bullshit the 76ers were whining about pre-game.That is one of the worst officiated half of basketball that I have seen in my 40+ years of watching.
