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

The refs have done well this game. They're letting a lot go, and they're consistent

Yep. Other than some travels that Simmons has got away with, I think this has been a fairly well-called game, which is surprising given that Ed Maloy is one of the refs. 

Literally everyone gets away with travels in the NBA. If you are waiting for officials to start calling them you are going to be waiting a long time.

We can't blow this game. We got them were we want them with Jaylen out, we just have to close this out and stay aggressive.

Ainge is clowning Hinkie. Tatum lighting it up while Fultz is burning on the bench.

Saric looks average as usual

[Chief]

It's a fun style of basketball being played.

[hpantazo]

It's Morris time

Fultz is Collangelo's pick, not Hinkie's

Sixers definitely don’t look as fluid as they have recently.  Not sure if it was the 6 day layoff, our defense, the culture shock of playing in Boston compared to the joke of a Miami crowd, or them just not coming into this one with much energy after the high of their round 1 victory... but I hope it continues.

We've gotten away with some stuff, too (like the Smart double dribble). As long as the refs don't play favorites, I'm happy

We just have to play smart basketball. No horrible ISOs that end in contested or off balance midrange jumpers.

[Boris Badenov]

We have some men on this team. This might be the toughest Celtics team I've seen...we are down our three best players and with other key guys injured, and we are playing like we believe we should go to the conference finals.

VET ROOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LarBrd33]

I have never loved a rookie as much as I love Tatum.  Best prospect we’ve had since bird.

Big Al is just a solid, smart basketball player. Love that he's a C!
