Sixers (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Round 1 Game 2 8/19/20

Kemba is going to have to show up. We been letting him side for a while, but today’s the day he needs to let people know he’s an actual winner. 

[PhoSita]

Theis needs to take the open shot, attack space, or get off the floor.

You can't have guys on the floor in the playoffs who the opponent doesn't have to respect.  They're giving Theis lightyears of space and he's just standing there.

So we get years of first hand experience of Enes Kanter giving Al Horford nightmares year-in year-out, including a 17 point 17 rebound game and a 16 point 19 rebound game, all for us to not use the advantageous matchup we've got. Far out. Brad yet again over-complicating things

Our defense is just not there, and it has little to do with Gordon absence.
Guys need to pick up intensity.
Good thing here is that Brad usually is able to fix it quickly.

Yeah, and when he does shoot it he has no confidence it seems. Really frustrating

well their shoot % isn't going to stay at 80%, so we got a chance

[coco]

If I am completely honest; this Philadelphia lineup can beat the Celtics.  Richardson, Thy, Milton are hungrier...

I am concerned.

Nice pep in our step after the timeout. And good D by Kanter there.

[Phantom255x]

JAYLEN!

[Rikibellevie]

We really need an historic Tatum tonight I guess. Not entering this match like a playoff game (just Tatum does)

[jpotter33]

Brad is right. Embiid is just flopping all over the place, and the dumb refs are falling for it.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Can we get Timelord in there instead of Kanter?

[jpotter33]

There you go, Brown! Noticeably more energy from him after the timeout.

[Jvalin]

Neto makes Philly a more functional team on offense. They finally have a ball handler who can play pick n roll/pop with Embiid. He already got 3 assists in 5 minutes at the end of the 1st quarter.
