Celtics (2-0) at 76ers (0-2) Round 2 Game #3 5/5/18

I really expect a big philly win today. The fact it is close this late makes me feel even more confident for game 4

If we lose this game, even in a nail-biter, Game 4 could very well turn into a rout for the 76ers, imo.

Better to win this one then rest players in G4.

AL really needs to score 8 pts in the 4th.

1/2 way there!

What's Brown's number? 25 minutes max?

McConnell is moving into celtic killer group. Guys like Rashard Lewis, Jamal Crawford...etc.

Yeah, we need to stay the hell alert because he’s running on on the boards and going for steals.  Can’t afford to be lazy out there.

Jalen has had an impact on this game defensively.  A steal, two blocks, a few times getting his hands in the passing lane.  It has helped, even if he isn't 100%.

Jaylen is 12 and 7 in 19 minutes!

imagine the antics if our center was cousins- embiid and cousins would be fighting nightly! And no, dont want cousins..

I don't think so. Felt Boston gets a split here.

Through almost 16 quarters, it's clear that we're the better team.  Without this foul discrepancy we'd be in control of this game.

I mean, he is normally in the game against Larkin.  So, go figure.

[Beat LA]

Its amazing how much of a more heady and hearty player a one legged Jaylen Brown is than a fully healthy Ben Simmons.

Celtics are just a smarter team than the Sixers.

Unfortunately, I'll have to disagree with you on this one, here.

[RGow8]

What manner of logic is that, go home
Negative nancy.

[liam]

CALL it both ways REF!

I think outside of Al, he's been the single most important player we've had in these playoffs.  We're just a different, more composed team, with him on the floor.

This game means nothing for the next one.  That said, they would be favored in the next game no matter what so all that matters is win or lose.
