[Silas]

Let's go Cs!

Is Brown okay to play? He had a thigh contusion in Game 1, was seem hobbling out the arena after the game

Listed as probable.

[LilRip]

Let’s go C’s!

Hayward’s minutes and shots are up for grabs. Hopefully Smart doesn’t jack them all up. I’m hoping for a Kemba surge this game!

[tstorey_97]

My guess is Semi will get 20 minutes and Wanamaker might be close to 30 minutes.

Robert looked fine in game 1 and one of these games Kanter will get 14 points on one shift...he's streaky on those layups.

Be cool if Theis could hit a few 3 pointers while Embiid stares at him from underneath.

Grant gets minutes tonight also, he's reliable.

In the bubble Romeo is 4/15 from the floor and 0/4 from three. Besides that he's looked quite good on defense and makes good hops for offensive ribbies too.

I wish the Celtics had a "bench scorer."

Smart didn't shoot much game 1...

Injuries are opportunities for guys, it'll be fun to see who makes a mark against the dreaded and wounded 76'ers.

I’ll be the 1st to say, I’ve seen a Celtics team complete destroy a team in game 1 and get swept after that. This game will show who we really are.

Yup, like last year's East Semis. I thought the Celtics had it under control after winning Game 1 in Milwaukee. But boy was I wrong. Lose Game 2, and lose the two games at home.

Fortunately, these 76ers are no Bucks. They don't have Giannis and his fast athleticism.

We also have nobody like Kyrie. Nobody on this team is going to tank a series

[jpotter33]

Let's go C's! With Smart and Thybulle taking the place of Hayward and Horford, respecitvely, in the starting lineups, it'll be interesting to see how this dynamic changes with them having much less of a height advantage now.

[jpotter33]

And poor Horford. As much as I despise him for making the decision to join Philly, I still feel bad that he's riding the bench at the end of playoff games and now is not being replaced in the starting lineup. He's still good enough to be starting and playing at the end of games in the right situation. Just a terrible fit with this team.

Great financial decision for AL but a terrible basketball one.

[jpotter33]

Ugh, not SVG 

[gouki88]

Ugh, not SVG 

God I wish someone would hire him as a coach (and Mark Jackson)

[blink]

Tatum and Brown need to stay out of foul trouble.

[gouki88]

Theis not shooting open 3s is really frustrating sometimes
