Sixers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 2 Game #1 4/30/18

[keevsnick]

Well if this playoffs proves anything its that Brown and Tatum would have averaged a lot more than 14.5 and 13.9 points on a team where they are featured.

Philly are shooting terribly, but I think they'll take only down 11. The Celtics shooting will cool down, at least from the field, and Philly will heat up, but hopefully not enough.

[SHAQATTACK]

Nice half.

When we’re down to 4 healthy players, will Brad go with the “my team is on the floor”, Norman Dale routine?

Can Brad suit up?

i can .....i d knee Embiid in the nads

How would you get your knee up that high?

[BitterJim]

We could make a decent lineup with the former Celtics there today. Ainge/Scal/McHale/Tommy (I assume he's there)/Bill Russell

Smart is fine now. Got kicked in the balls by Embiid on that final shot. He's been taking a beating there the last few games after Thon stomped him out.

thank god.

He always shake his hand when he gets hit in the balls, u think something wrong with his hand ...

Couldn’t have asked for a better first half. If we keep playing like this and Philly keeps underachieving we seriously might steal one of these games.

gah. Forum ate my post cause of disconnect.

The upshot of it was that our home court advantage + strong perimeter defense has gone a long way to making Philly uncomfortable.

Not saying that this is gonna be how it is, but this success, to at least some extent, is repeatable.

Rusty start from both sides. Sixers shooting poorly from 3 while C's did fairly well. Celtics defense certainly giving Sixers some problems, but Sixers also missed a ton of open looks in the 1st quarter. All in all, great first half and should set up for an exciting 2nd half!

Oh, and Horford + Tatum have been insane today! Pure domination. Rozier too. 

[SCeltic34]

A few good passes aside, Smart has been terrible this game.

[Vox_Populi]

Smart with continued poor decision making.

i guess he was keeping his hand busy .....distracting his mind from the hit .

[ozgod]

Oh no Smart why’d you foul him 

[jpotter33]

Ugh, bad shot by Smart, but it went in. Now let's just hope no heat check is coming.

I really hate the 76ers' antics. I think they're clowns. I think they should paint their faces, clowns.

That said...dayum, Embiid is a monster, looked like Shaq there on the post up.
