Posted in the wrong thread, but yeah down just 3 with zero points from Horford.  I'll take it.

BROWN!!!

Love the push back to close quarter- all we want is a chance to steal it at the end!

Not bad, only 3 points down at half time on the road.

If the Celtics can come out strong in the second half we can steal this game.  And then a mountain of pressure will be on the Sixers if they go down 3 games to 0.

Up and down but I'll take that half.  Worried about foul as I expect the refs to tighten up a bit in the second half.  But we are in Philly and have largely weathered a series of good Sixers shooting and poor Celtics decisions.  Refill your drinks, fasten your seatbelt and prepare for a blistering second half!!!

he GOT'S to step up

Big 3 by Jaylen to cut it to 3 at the half.  We can win this game.  Just gotta bring the def in the 2nd half, stay attached to their shooters, and not give away off possessions by throwing the ball away.  Smart had 2 or 3 horrible turnovers, Tatum did as well.  We can't have those and win on the road in the playoffs.

Good lord...I can only hope that in some alternate universe, sports history will eventually look back at all this "Process" crap and accurately define it as what it is: "Tanking for a decade"...you know, that thing the Marlins are rightfully getting trashed for right now?

[Surferdad]

This is a winnable game.

Great way to end the half with a set play.

That run really started when Tatum picked up that third foul, which was a textbook charge by him. He has to be smarter on the fastbreak; he's so valuable to our offense right now that he can't be making those types of mistakes.

Also, no more Average Al in the second half. He has to show up and we can take this thing.

Ya, he has 4 turnovers and 3 fouls. He needs to A) Stop losing the ball on drives and B) Get better at reacting to double teams.

All in all, not too upset with where we are right now. If even one of Rozier or Horford show up we can win this game.

This is a winnable game.

absolutely.

This is a winnable game.

Very much. I'd be pretty disappointed if we let this one go.

There is nothing I want more than for Brown to yoke one on that cocky overrated Emiids head.

[keevsnick]

I would make a comment about Jaylen Brown looking much healthier then last game, but i dont want to jinx things so I won't.

3 point game at halftime is pretty good.

The Celtics took 42 shots in that half and 22 of them were 3's. They've gotta find a way to get things moving to the rim.
