UPDATE:

Looks like Embiid has been further diagnosed and has a torn radial collateral ligament in the fourth metacarpal in his left hand, not just a dislocation and there is currently no timetable for his return.

Man I really wish we were playing better. I am not sure what is happening with our team the last few games.

Which is why I am expecting a big win tonight .

I'm going the opposite. Sixers will come out charged up - usually happens first game when you find out your star is out for a while as everyone subconsciously feels like they have to pick it up.  If the Celtics come out flat again they'll get blown out.

I say we are going to play a lot better than last night.

Is Tacko playing is ALL I want to know.

Random thought Dept:  Last night was the first game in a while with our 8-9 top guys available.  Would be nice to get that first win with what should be the regular rotation.

Does it count as a back to back when you don't really play the night before?

[blink]

Kemba's jump shot looks really good tonight, lots of pop and energy, moving really well

[Surferdad]

Better start, hot from outside

LOL

Great start offensively...defensively, not so much. I am expecting good things from the bench tonight. I think our bench should be able to perform better than Philly's.

We really need to get into Simmons' airspace before he gets a head of steam moving to the hoop.  Giving him way too much room to work with.

[blink]

great play by Tatum

[ETNCeltics]

Holy cow, Marcus. Don't ever take that shot.
