Celtics defense has been pretty bad.
But doesn't matter because PHI is playing worse defense and the Celtics offense is an inferno (playing well too, not just hitting shots)

Grant Williams on Harden? Just because no one's been able to guard him yet isn't a reason to give up.
That's what I'm talking about.
After Harden makes a bucket, Smart pushes the shit out of it up the floor and gets an easy dunk for Rob.
Run this fucking team off the floor.

This Sixers team is playing ZERO defense. Basically conceding the game. But the Cs D really isn't much better.
Off the Melton 3, they push it again, Jaylen gets to the rim, kicks out, extra pass, wide open 3.
Celtics are shooting 85% from the floor 67% from 3 and only up 7 because the D has been... terrible. Shooting is going to cool off, need to play real D at some point.
Boston's shooting won't cool off much if they keep getting layups and dunks like this.
It's easy to shoot 90% when they're getting uncontested layups and alley oops.
It'll still cool down some, 6 of the 20 shots are 3s and they made 4 of them.
Be still my heart Brogdon took it straight to the rim instead of holding for a bad shot and they didn’t give up a bucket the other way.
I love that Smart is pestering him all the way up the court every possession. I’m calling a Harden tech by the 3rd quarter.
I don’t think I agree…the Celtics D has been bad but the difference in shot quality between the two teams is massive. All of Harden’s 2s have been contested and he’s made all of them.
If that quarter happens 4 times in a row the Celtics win by about 25
The Cs D hasn’t been great but it’s not terrible either. 76ers are taking harder shots and won’t make them at this rate over time.
By contrast, the Cs have been running a layup line and taken a few wide, wide open 3s. Their offensive success seems more sustainable if the game pattern continues.

LOL it looks like the offense could just be TL standing under the hoop for an alley oop the rest of the game
Played all 12 minutes that quarter, and the ancient PJ Tucker played 10.
They can't keep up with this C's team if the C's just keep fucking running.
Tatum should be coming back in now, Jaylen played the entire 1st. Hopefully, he doesn't go into his ISO mode with Marcus.
