11/8 - Giving Sixers fans a case of the Wednesdays

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

It sucks when games are on Wednesdays because I have recurring meetings on Wednesday nights and so I'm only semi-present in those meetings, as the Celtics are more important to me than whatever is being blathered on about in the meetings. It's made me feel like Wednesdays are my Mondays, and I dread them a little bit, which led me to think about having a case of the Wednesdays, instead of a case of the Mondays, but then I looked that phrase up on Urban Dictionary and that's not really what I'm getting at.

However, I decided to put it in the title of the thread regardless because I liked the absurdity of it, and I'm quite confident that once Sixers fans get a load of the fully functional battle station that is the Boston Celtics tonight, they will have a case of the Wednesdays.

Go Cs. Smash the Sixers.

Filet the Phillies

Trust Brads process

White was not at the shootaround today...

We'll struggle again without DW for a third straight game.

 

[RorschachsMask]

White was not at the shootaround today...

We'll struggle again without DW for a third straight game.

He was listed as probable despite that, they expect him to play.

ESPN indicates White will play. Pillage Philadelphia.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

"In Philadelphia, its worth $50..."

Win today.

 

[mikeot]

Submerge the Sixers!

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Shot selection is really puzzling right now

 

[Helmet Head]

They are missing wide open looks. You would think those will fall eventually.

 

[hellborn]

Embiid with the push on Tatum and then the egregious flop.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

How did Tatum not get the call on the rip through, after not getting the call when Embiid took out his legs?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Like last year, Joe Mazzulla feels like the weak link of an otherwise strong Celtic squad.

 

[Ale Xander]

Deep Six the Sixers

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Like last year, Joe Mazzulla feels like the weak link of an otherwise strong Celtic squad.

I like the Holiday on Embiid strategy

 

[SteveF]

The only points they've scored are on layups and dunks.

 

[benhogan]

Jrue is a bad man

 

[Helmet Head]

Jrue on embid just completely flummoxed the 6ers. They didn’t know what to do

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Embiid must absolutely hate playing Boston. Jrue is clearly bothering him, even if Embiid can shoot right over him.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I like the Holiday on Embiid strategy

Me too, actually. Joe does a weekly radio interview with Zolak on 98.5, and he always comes off as a bit of a dolt. I'm probably biased by it.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That's the possession I love. Spread the floor, get Embiid out there on KP, pump fake and right to the rim.

 

[Helmet Head]

I think I say this every year but embid does not look like he is in good shape. Not sure how he holds up all year

 

[The Mort Report]

DWhite really is the straw that stirs the drink

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Don't give me that olé shit, Kristaps.

 

[SteveF]

Offense looks fine. Shots not falling, but whatever.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

The Boston Celtics and shitty player movement leading to out of rhythm threes. Name a better duo!

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Offense looks fine. Shots not falling, but whatever.

They look good in transition but the halfcourt offense is total dogshit.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That halfcourt possession was total dogshit.

 

[benhogan]

Furkan hunting Hauser is catnip

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Taste it, Cov.

 

[SteveF]

I never like putting unnecessary fouls on your best player.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Korkmaz trying to take Hauser in isolation is like the definition of insanity.

 

[Manzivino]

They really need to develop a bread and butter play between Brown and KP that they can spam when Tatum sits.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Korkmaz trying to take Hauser in isolation is like the definition of insanity.

I hope Nickles keeps going to it

 

[radsoxfan]

I never like putting unnecessary fouls on your best player.

Tatum intentionally using a foul to give with 8 seconds left in the 1st quarter is the single dumbest thing I’ve ever seen watching nba basketball.

If Joe called for that, Brad may need to fire him at the half.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

$ammy Hau$er!

 

[bigq]

Big Al!

 

[m0ckduck]

Sixers are good, but they could really use an Immanuel Quickely instant-offense-type guy off the bench. I can't put my finger on it exactly but they need more of an x-factor on offense. Everything feels very "known commodity" with them.

 

[bigq]

Maxey can fly.

 

[benhogan]

PP lost his man on D, needs some pine

 

[JCizzle]

PP…yuck

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

PP lost his man on D, needs some pine

And then threw up an unnecessary 28 footer which predictably wasn’t even close.

 

[Manzivino]

Got real sloppy after they pushed it to 11

 

[JCizzle]

PP lost his man on D, needs some pine

That three was pretty awful too.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Yeah Pritchard is clearly pressing. Joe may have to adjust this rotation at some point.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Di$co $ammy Hau$er!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That shit was over the cylinder!

 

[Helmet Head]

If Prichard isn’t hitting shots, he is pointless to play.

 

[JCizzle]

Nick Nurse being insufferable as always plus Philly. A match made in heaven.

 

[mikeot]

Oh Nicky Nicky Nicky Nicky!
