Win this. Wanna see big games from Theis, Tatum, Jaylen.

Its not like we lose quite often this season.
But yeah, less L on the column would be nice.
No Kyrie, so that means, what, Smart will start? And take 20 shots, making 5 of them? ;D
I'm just gonna go ahead and assume the L tonight—seems like the safest route emotionally.
No Kyrie, so that means, what, Smart will start? And take 20 shots, making 5 of them? ;DCome on now....they will overcome. Remember the game in London? 39 point swing. I am expecting the young guys to pull this one out.

Yes Smart is starting. They need Al, Tatum and Brown to be scorers...Morris off the bench with Rozier

Lol. Used to be the same way many years ago but if the 2004 Red Sox, Game 5 in 2008 against the Lakers, and generally the Pats have taught me anything, is a win is always within reach until the game is over.

I'm just bracing myself for a bad outcome so a loss won't be as disappointing ... and if they win, great!
The game started earlier than usual. Usually nationally televised games start 7-9 minutes after the scheduled time.
Tatum might have one of the most effective inside-out dribbles I've seen.
Jaylen Brown...you have to be better
Jaylen Brown...you have to be better
Jaylen needs to finish.

Jaylen pouts a little bit when he doesn't get calls. I'd like to see him break that habit.
There is ZERO reason to play close to Simmons on D. He might be an even worse shooter than MKG.
Jaylen Brown...you have to be better
Jaylen needs to finish.
More assignment for him in the off season.

Get Morris out of the game.
Get Morris out of the game.
Take him out and no one else can score in the current lineup.
Rozier with the air ball... ouch!
losing streak to 2
Embiid with his constant flopping, lol.
Embiid with his constant flopping, lol.
Embiid with his constant flopping, lol.
I'd still say he's one of the few true tough guys in the NBA though LOL.
Boston has no idea what they are doing on offense tonight. Wrong guys getting the ball and turning it over.
And here comes the dreaded second quarter
At least you guys and gals can WATCH the freaking game!! TNT is blacking out the game here in NC!! I called Spectrum Cable and they told me TNT is doing it and they are working on it.
I notice that the Sixers did NOT commit EVEN ONE freaking foul in the 1st quarter. Almost UNHEARD of I would say!!!!!

Yeah, I don't get it at all. He doesn't seem tough in the slightest, just big. Baynes is much tougher than Embiid isEmbiid with his constant flopping, lol.

Where is this Embiid tough guy narrative coming from? I've seen it posted on here several times the last few days, and I'm simply not seeing it at all.

When people wonder why Irving is a legit MVP candidate... show them this game film
They're playing tight defense and it looks like no one on the floor knows how to counter that.
Is Brown hurt? I just don't see any other reason to keep him out so long or let Nader in the game.
The funny thing is we're playing about as bad as we ever have and have no Kyrie.....and the 76ers still can't really do anything to pull away LOL. Pretty much shows how overrated they are.
They are finally calling the travels!
Cs have some serious offensive problems this year, with and without Irving
The sad part about this game for as bad as they have played: somehow only down 7.Philadelphia aren't very good
True. But they didn't have Hayward last year and they had like a top 10 offense.Cs have some serious offensive problems this year, with and without Irving
Yeah, a lot of that is on Hayward being out, though. His shooting, scoring, and playmaking would do wonders for our offense.
Could be much worse. Hopefully Tatum and Brown make some shots in the 2nd half, and Rozier finds a way to tap into his frontal lobe. I'm confident we will pull out the dub.

Celtics haven't even gone to the FT line and it's not the refs fault.

And Covington didn't do that. It was a blocking foul. Tatum didn't do enough to earn a charge, such as lowering his shoulder.
We need Rozier to go nuts. Maybe Larkin too.

Yes he did. If you slide your feet and keep your torso in front of the man without using your hands/arms to help it's 100% perfect defense. Again, it's called "legal guarding position."
Tatum needs to learn how to take over.
Good freaking Lord these refs are terrible yet again. Amir's left foot was still in the restricted zone. 13-5 on fouls...
Tatum needs to learn how to take over.
He's not ready yet. People on this forum go on and on about how he's being held back, doesn't get enough chances to dribble. He's just not there yet.

Guess we'll agree to disagree. I'd wager in most instances that type of play would go down as a blocking foul.

We can only blame the refs so much. Jacking up 3s doesn't help you get to the line.
Larkin will light a fire.
If they get it to 10, Philly will hear the footsteps and choke.

Why can't this team play from ahead? Every game they are down double digits. I just don't get it at all
This Philly team is not good

McConnell is powning Rozier now ::)

Rozier has been almost a non factor. He is never reliable for more than 3-4 games at most in a row.

I wouldn't mind having McConnell on our bench to be honest.

And yet again.
God, Embiid is so annoying.Amen!
The more I watch Jaylen Brown the more I dislike him.
Rozier gives McConnell a wide open lane to the basket. Not sure what to say about that.Rozier have a low BBIQ. That's all.

Please tell me that Kyrie Irving is over on the bench area tonite. Please tell me he didn't stay home again because he is hurt. I don't see him over there ?

Philly are fun to watch when they have things going.Embiid's showboating is kinda annoying, tbh.
Terry is having a rare awful game.

I'm pretty much censored from mentioning him on the blog now, but if that's true... not cool.
I guess. I just find it funny, I don't find it in too poor taste. At least he's clearly the best player on either team. It annoys me when guys like Stephenson do it.Philly are fun to watch when they have things going.Embiid's showboating is kinda annoying, tbh.
McConnell is finally doing something in a game against us and Terry is having a rare awful game. And people actually think this is the norm? McConnell would AT BEST be our 5th guard. He's basically Larkin getting more minutes. Nothing more to see here.

I'm pretty sure even if we lose this game The Celtics will still have the 2nd best record in the league.

He shot 3-11 and 1-7 last game. I call that AWFUL and that was JUST TWO DAYS ago!!
http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400975396
Smitty77
Yes. It's still rare when it doesn't happen that often. 2-6 games out of the whole season qualifies as RARE.
This team lacked energy and focus tonight right from the tip off. Weak down the bench, the only exception is Shane Larkin.

I do not understand why the ball is not going into the hands of people who can actually score.
Where was this urgency a long long long time ago?
I think all of those comebacks have spoiled these Celtics and made them think they can "turn it on" and win games by just playing halves at a time.
So, you say he is at the game......................exactly where is he, cause I don't see him over there in the bench area anywhere ??

It's consistently bad that's for sure.. he plays zero on ball defense, it's actually kind of pathetic given his athleticism.. I'm just pretty much done with rozier at this point, same with baynes he doesn't provide anyrhing..McConnell is powning Rozier now ::)
And yet again.
Rozier's D is as consistent as his streaky shooting.

I knew I would take a few smart alec comments from my question, though lots of regular members here have their own little obsessions with this team (Roy & Terry Rozier, Half the Board & Marcus Smart).
So........... Kyrie leaving early and then not attending the subsequent home game when he had the facial injury was not a good look for me. This is an important issue because this group thrived on chemistry last year and much of that chemistry was traded and Kyrie is not exactly famous for being a great teammate. He seems to have put some effort towards that this year, but I'm afraid his basic nature is that of a self-centered person and that ain't what the Celtics are about.

He's in the bathroom. Third toilet on the left in the 300's. I think it's a big dump. I read on twitter that he had a feisty burrito before tonight's game.
Tatum/Morris etc. People who can actually create their own shotI do not understand why the ball is not going into the hands of people who can actually score.
Honestly: what are you talking about? Who is not getting the ball that you think should? Everyone is seeing it and not making aggressive moves, not getting open, not back cutting. No one is being froze out.

You're making a huge deal out of nothing. He could be watching from training room/locker room area as KG frequently did when he was here and missed games. I mean, Gordon has the boot off. Why aren't you freaking out about him not sitting on the bench?

As I remember, KG was on the bench the entire playoff when he was hurt in 2009 - he was on his feet and cheering at every opportunity. KG is the one responsible for changing the culture of that group when he got here in '07. I also remember KG flying cross-country in the middle of the off-season to be at Shaq's introductory press conference in 2011.

I knew I would take a few smart alec comments from my question, though lots of regular members here have their own little obsessions with this team (Roy & Terry Rozier, Half the Board & Marcus Smart).
So........... Kyrie leaving early and then not attending the subsequent home game when he had the facial injury was not a good look for me. This is an important issue because this group thrived on chemistry last year and much of that chemistry was traded and Kyrie is not exactly famous for being a great teammate. He seems to have put some effort towards that this year, but I'm afraid his basic nature is that of a self-centered person and that ain't what the Celtics are about.
So, you say he is at the game......................exactly where is he, cause I don't see him over there in the bench area anywhere ??
Gee, how dare he stay home after he broke his face? I'm sure that bright arena lights and loud crowd would've been a lot of fun to sit through with your face throbbing. So selfish.
You're making a huge deal out of nothing. He could be watching from training room/locker room area as KG frequently did when he was here and missed games. I mean, Gordon has the boot off. Why aren't you freaking out about him not sitting on the bench?
Jo Jo White is also not at the game.
What kind of a sick comment is that ?
Anyone who refers to someone in conversation as "dude" automatically loses credibility with me.
As I remember, KG was on the bench the entire playoff when he was hurt in 2009 - he was on his feet and cheering at every opportunity. KG is the one responsible for changing the culture of that group when he got here in '07. I also remember KG flying cross-country in the middle of the off-season to be at Shaq's introductory press conference in 2011.
He wasn't on the bench the entire regular season after he was hurt. Maybe you weren't watching back then. We are watching a regular season game right now .
Wow dude losing credibility with you is a shame.
A little too late for them to play with any sort of effort.
Celtics are still fighting...Too little. Too late

Horford just standing around letting that pass go right to Simmons. Pretty dumb to not go ahead and foul him once he had it.
I guess you can't win them all...
He's clearly getting abused in the post by embiid all night..same with baynes he doesn't provide anyrhing..
Clearly one of the best post defenders in the league doesn't provide anything?

Lots of uncharacteristic mistakes from Horford tonight. I'm not concerned about it because he's a solid vet, but we really needed more from him especially with Kyrie out.

I would say that 95% of bigs get abused by Embiid.He's clearly getting abused in the post by embiid all night..same with baynes he doesn't provide anyrhing..

The last 2 games have been 2 of the worst losses of the season. Not so much the losing part but the effort. They look listless.
Better hope Kyrie is not out for several games.
Chicago was bad. But sometimes you have clunkers. Just disappointing is all, especially after the poor game vs NOP.The last 2 games have been 2 of the worst losses of the season. Not so much the losing part but the effort. They look listless.

I'd say the blowout loss against Chicago was the worst. Otherwise I agree - these past two games have been horrible to watch.
Rough one. No urgency till the 4th. Yuck
I agree. Stevens has to get these guys out to better starts and figure out that 2nd quarter.I guess you can't win them all...
Yup. On to the next. Although if we lose to Orlando then we have some real reason for concern.

Looking for 20+ from Tatum. While it ain't happening, a cameo from Fultz would be entertaining.
Okay, I find Embiid annoying, but that denial of Rihanna now that he's an All-Star was epic lolI agree. It's nice to know he has standards
I disagree. Unless we are playing a drummond/jordan/Adams type player he's pretty useless on defense. Can't stay with anyone outside of 5 feet and is pretty awful in the pick and roll game especially when he switches onto the quicker guys. Offensively I thought he had a pretty knockdown midrange shot but he hasn't been as effective with it lately and recently has dabbled with a 3 pointer for some reasonIt's consistently bad that's for sure.. he plays zero on ball defense, it's actually kind of pathetic given his athleticism.. I'm just pretty much done with rozier at this point, same with baynes he doesn't provide anyrhing..McConnell is powning Rozier now ::)
And yet again.
Rozier's D is as consistent as his streaky shooting.
Wait what? Baynes hasn't been good at all this game, but overall he's been great for us this year.
I'm all for a big and bench scorer before deadline. Can't depend on smart and rozier for bench scoring every night. We are in dire need of that iso type scorer off the bench who can create their own shot. To be honest Larkin is pretty decent at creating his shot off the bench. Might be time to give him a bigger role with the second unitHe's clearly getting abused in the post by embiid all night..same with baynes he doesn't provide anyrhing..

Glad that MANY on this board think that we do NOT need a big!!:-))))))))))

Well done once again, loser.
