Game 6: The Beginning of Philly's End

[OnWisc]

This is going to come down to the Celtics down one with 8 seconds left and I trust precisely nobody on the team to take the shot…

Not a problem when they won’t get a shot off.

 

[Helmet Head]

How about they call the foul embid gets 200% of the time down the other side?

 

[Cellar-Door]

18 turnovers for Boston, 14 live ball.... that's not a recipie for success.

 

[McBride11]

No brainer reversal here.

Embiid gets a foul call there 11/10 x

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

It's breathtaking to see such ineptitude in tight situations. Unclutch is not quantifiable, but you know it when you see it.

 

[Mloaf71]

He didn't? Who did, Mazzulla?

no one the announcers are morons. Dorris can’t stop drooling over embiid and the other guy yells random stuff like “Friendzone!” “drop the clutch!”

 

[jose melendez]

Tatum is just scared. Not even trying to make shots either passing off or praying for the foul.

Al too. Brogdon and Marcus aren't scared, but everyone else is.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I mean, you really feel like watching another series right now?

Nope.

 

[Ale Xander]

Tatum and Al 2-22 and they have 18 turnovers

 

[8slim]

Great post.

Thanks. It wasn’t my best, but I’m proud of it.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

So maybe Tatum isn't an adult.

Maybe he isn't worth it anymore.

Dude only cares about individual successes. He is not a leader and just doesn't have it in him to rise to the occasion on a consistent basis.

It might not just be time to blow it up, if they lose, but to sell the team. I'm not convinced this ownership will ever win another title.

This is awfully dire for a game we’re down by two in.

 

[ehaz]

Tatum is like the Benjamin Button version of Jimmy Butler.

Dude is like a less efficient Kyle Anderson in the playoffs.

 

[benhogan]

The Celtics with 36pts over the last 24 minutes

 

[kfoss99]

The difference was being up 14 and then transitioning to Hero Mode mid second quarter. As it has been all season.

All this team's flaws have shown up in these playoff losses...plus a new one of Tatum unable to shoot.

 

[Coachster]

Fun stat: Philly has attempted more 3’s than us.
We can’t win if we don’t win from 3.

 

[TrapperAB]

Both Tatum and Hartford are afraid to shoot, so Philly can collapse on Jaylen when he drives. Only way that gets better is if they hit a couple.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Not a problem when they won’t get a shot off.

Too soon

 

[Just a bit outside]

I don’t even know who they should play. Just so lost.

 

[luqin]

Tatum's thinking about his next commercial shoot

 

[j-man]

Honestly, I only remembered it because it flashed as a "new post" when you first posted it, so I didn't even know what thread it was in. lol

oh i forgot about that lol to be fair noone saw fla coming and i also know hockey the least

 

[AlNipper49]

RW acts shocked every time he gets the ball.

Probably because he’s surprised that the pass didn’t break one of his bones

 

[Auger34]

Does anyone have any confidence the Celtics pull this out? Anyone?

 

[MannyRam]

Forget what's happened - just need to execute in crunch time here

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

no one the announcers are morons. Dorris can’t stop drooling over embiid and the other guy yells random stuff like “Friendzone!” “drop the clutch!”

That's what I get for having the sound up. Thanks for the correction.

 

[Caspir]

Down 2 but feels like 7. They can’t get out of their own way.

 

[EddieYost]

I do

 

[PedroKsBambino]

What would make the clock wrong based on that play—-it still went out of bounds at the same time.

Odd.

 

[gammoseditor]

Tatum has a look like he already lost.

 

[Cellar-Door]

well at least they had to burn their challenge on an obviously wrong call

 

[jose melendez]

Multiverse.

Based on this game I don’t think he seems to care about individual successes

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

he is mr glass!

 

[Auger34]

They just showed a close up of Tatum. He ain’t helping to win this one folks.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

What??

 

[RSN Diaspora]

I’ve never seen this before.

 

[shawnrbu]

Clown show.

 

[bigq]

This delay is bumming me the fuck out. Please give Embiid more time to rest.

 

[Auger34]

I have the game muted. What happened

 

[soxin6]

What the fuck is going on?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

WTF? Nice job refs.

I have literally never seen that after a play is long over and the game continued.

 

[Patriot_Reign]

this game is just.....wild

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Well that was a fun waste of a minute.

 

[scottyno]

These are the best of the best refs... just not knowing the rules

 

[Auger34]

What in the name of fuck is happening

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Remember when Grant had a role in this series? 26 minutes average in their two wins. 8 minutes on average in their losses, and that’ll be down after tonight’s DNPCD.

 

[worm0082]

I’ve never seen this before. Pull points and redo the free throws?

 

[McBride11]

LOL Nice job refs

 

[Ale Xander]

JFC Al

 

[Cellar-Door]

I have the game muted. What happened

they changed the take to a clear path, which should have had Maxey shoot, Embiid took them as he would have on a take technical, so they re-do them

 

[103mph Screwball]

My sports fandom over the past year and a half has made me so numb to this sort of BS that I'm weirdly just accepting of the inevitable sadness
