Celtics (2-0) at 76ers (0-2) Round 1 Game 3 8/21/20

Philly needs to blow it up. All that tanking and nothing to show for it. Embiid should go to LA and team up with Lebron, AD, Klay, Bird, Wilt, Magic, Shaq, Jordan, Dr J, Barkley, Duncan, Wade, Bill Russell, and whoever else LeBron can convince to take the min.

On to game four for the sweep!

Just finished watching on league pass. Tatum was ice cold (didn’t even convert both FT in the clear path!) but I’m glad he still played terrific defense down the stretch.

This seemed like Philly’s best punch. On to the sweep! Let’s go C’s!!!

I don't like how much he trusts players in foul trouble, as it gets you into the Tatum first half foul troubles we had tonight.

That’s funny. That’s always what I’ve liked most about Brad. What is a coach trying to protect against by sitting a player in foul trouble? Him fouling out and MISSING MINUTES. But by sitting him he’s missing minutes anyway. I know minutes at the end of the game are more valuable than earlier minutes but not by that much. I love that Brad understands this.

I think the coach has to know his personnel. There are players you cannot leave out there with early foul trouble and some that you can. I mean in game 2 Tatum had 2 early fouls, Stevens left him in and turned a deficit into a blowout. If that was Brown I think you'd have to be more careful and if that was Mikki Moore? You take him out right away.

I think we can all agree that Kemba Walker has contributed more to our playoff success than Kyrie Irving did, right?
