Celtics (2-0) at 76ers (0-2) Round 2 Game #3 5/5/18

Pretty amazing what has happened in this series. I thought all along that we would win, but I thought it'd be in 6 or 7.

But one thing is clear - this Philly team was incredibly overrated based on that late season run against primarily tanking teams. And unfortunately, too many people on here drank the Philly koolaid and overrated them, too.

I'm really starting to get this feeling in the back of my mind that we might actually make a Finals run without our two best players.

Brad Stevens has been and the best coach possible for this rebuild now going forward. So [dang] good.

[Sophomore]

Ben Simmons really does crumble

Embiid too.  26 shots for 22 points and that key turnover.

Yep. And mostly facing single coverage. And never getting travels called while he hops on his pivot foot. If he wants to shoot that inefficiently, he can keep doing it the rest of the way.

Regardless of the outcome of this series, I think it's amazing what Philly was able to accomplish this season.  They are well ahead of schedule and this is probably their most successful season since Iverson.  That said, they should consider hiring a real coach after this season.  It's great that Brett Brown had that win streak with them, but he's been awful in these playoffs.  It's rare for a coach to survive post-tank.  Probably time for them to bring in someone real.

I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all on this thread! 

I was outside with family so couldn't watch the game, but had this forum game thread up almost the entire time (lol). Was frustrating at times with connection errors on the site and occassionally my 4G/LTE going slow depending where we were, but was great to follow along the game with everyone's posts here!

Throughout all the frustrations, raging at refs, raging at missed FT's, praising folks, celebrating makes, it was a hard fought win and a battle that we won at the end. The end of the 4th definitely gave me a heart attack as connection problems hit again on this site, but I was seeing some folks like Kaufman and others on Twitter talking confetti, "OH MY GOD", etc. lol

Tonight proved why making the playoffs and losing early is still better than losing and sucking on purpose.  If you preach a losing culture, when you finally do get on the bigger stage this is what happens.  The 76ers were LUCKY to get the scrub Heat in the first round.  Our younger guys knew what it took to win under pressure.  The Process is a joke and Philly will forever be in our rear view mirror.

The perfect coach for Sixers was actually on the other sidelines today-

[tstorey_97]

Stat watcher would look at this.........6 rebounds...2 assists...13 points

Gee this guy had an "average night."

Horford owned this Embiid kid when it mattered.

Do I dare ask what is being posted on Philly forums now?

Brown is still teaching these guys and they have $ coming up. I stick with Brown unless they can lure LeBron or another real FA to actually be contenders. They got no shot against a healthy C''s
