Sixers (22-12) at Celtics (19-13) Game #33 12/25/18

Hayward has to become that second big scorer. If this happens, Boston will be a tough out.

If Morris leaves next year...very big shoes to fill for Hayward...hopefully by that time, no more excuses for Gordy. We all know how good he was. Just so awful he is ATM.

beat this team in 5 last year without kyrie or hayward

i am more concerned with raps or bux

They got JB, but Kyrie is bigger...man...

butler does not impress me

we beat his ass in 6 two years ago

exactly!!!!! when hayward come back and can shoot, this team wins it all! no one can stop them.

i loved the defense in overtime. great team!!! and great tps for everyone, merry christmas folks!!

merry christmas

This. Christmas W was the only thing I asked for.

Marvellous, super happy. Even with the 5 mins of free basketball. Love it. What's that now? 4-0 in OT situations?

[Rosco917]

We look like the Isaiah Thomas Celtics at times.

I will never complain about a win, but the offense cannot die without Irving.

This is true ^

Philly could have played better, especially in terms of taking care of the ball.  But the C's could have played WAY better.  Missed tons of open looks and we got little contribution from many players, yet still managed to win.

It's just a matter of time before we start putting everything together.  Nobody wants to face us in the playoffs.

[bopna]

Without Kyrie, this team would be screwed.

All hail Kyrie!

Our record will probably be the other way around.

Win for the good guys.
Go C's
Merry Christmas

Wow! Amazing finish. Kyrie is a superstar. We need Hayward to come out of the witness protection program. Jason was fantastic. Morris Sr. was solid and we needed Horford who actually played Embid better than I have ever seen him.

He won't care...he will get paid like one in the summer

Butler is pretty awesome.  Kyrie scored over him quite a few times but otherwise Butler was everywhere defensively and put together a pretty good shooting night after a slow start.

It's Simmons who is overrated.  I remain unimpressed by his play.

I'm talking this year. Can't just score 10 or less most nights. Maybe he isn't close as we think he is but the guy has to get it together. Kyrie needs some help. Mook and filled in for it but Gordon is too good to be a non factor

[Kiorrik]

Came in this year, not thinking much of Kyrie.

Saw the first 10 or so games, wasn't much impressed at all. In fact, told my friends he looked dull and uninspiring.

He's won me over since. Games like these... what a dude. When you absolutely, positively have GOT to get yourself a bucket: Kyrie's the man.

Touché. TP.

The Celtics defense was outstanding in the 4Q after giving up 38 in the 3Q. Anyone complaining about Al should watch games like this a bit more carefully.
