76ers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Game #1 10/16/18

Kyrie is 0-8, being guarded by fultz most of the half

Really annoying when posts get eaten by the error message.

Is it just me or does anything else, think the NBA refs are letting Philly play and foul our guys ?
It looks to me like they are trying to manufacture a rivalry by making this game closer than what it is with calls bailing out Philly and allowing them to foul us without any calls.

Kyrie is shooting poorly but I think the refs have been horrible.  Guess it will never change...

Somebody convince me that Covington isn’t trash.  Dude is awful every time I watch him play unless he gets hot from three... which isn’t often.

he had 1 good season from 3 so he thinks he’s Ray Allen

I agree he’s an average player at best

I'd rather pay Kyrie 50m a year for 5 years than Rozier 20m a year for 4.

If you'd told me that Kyrie would go 0-8 and we'd still be fairly comfortablly in control of the game, I'd be thrilled.

Our offence is scary. It's working and we look good. We're just missing point blank shots. We have a team.

Brown must see Tatum sailing past him.

Jaylen should have more than 2 free throw attempts, that's for sure.

that one bit where he got hacked 3x in a row and no call was egregious.

Has anyone noticed that Tatum has been destroying Covington every time they play ?

[SHAQATTACK]

Uncle Drew gonna take over when it counts

[CelticsElite]

What is wrong with Barkley? I can’t understand this guy

“Shaq: Jayson Tatum wants to be a superstar. If he keeps playing like this, he will be“

I think they've been fine.

The refs missed the push in the back by Simmons on the fast break, and I thought Jaylen got fouled on the possession where he missed two point-blank layups.  But in 24 minutes of basketball, that's acceptable.  And I'm sure a Philly fan would point out a couple of plays where the Celtics got away with a foul, too.

Is this the first time you've listened to him? This is always the way he is, for better or worse

I was laughing when they said Covington was all NBA defensive.

I would settle for some buckets at this point.

On positive note, Hayward looks better than the preseason.
