Do you still believe

[A Future of Stevens]

Yes I do. When they are locked in, they look like the best team in the league. I will ride this one all the way down.

Hard to believe when you have a sequence like this

That's cause for Joe to go Bobby Knight on these fools.

Ridiculous that Horford got no help on that one Harris drive; like a 36-year-old is supposed to be able to chase a guy all around the court by himself.

And those turnovers were mostly awful. And the guys mostly reacted like, "Eh, whatever."

Every passing day I believe less and less with the p----poor effort I see from them- no defense, no adjustments, chucking 3's, careless ball-handling, walking the ball down the court + dribble till 3 secs left + Tatum ISO 3 that fails miserably.

I don't know if this team can come back up from an 0-2 hole should they lose Game 2. You'd then expect them to do the impossible and win two straight at a hostile environment with Embiid back healthy and another two straight. We haven't had that since 2017 during the Isaiah Thomas days and even that team had the heart and mindset!

[Silas]

Yea, I still believe and so do half the folks that responded to the poll before the first game.  70 predictions and 48.6% of the responses said Celtics in 6 games.  I think they will get their sh** together and win in 6.  Go Cs.

[Goldstar88]

Yep. I expect the C’s to respond in game 2.

We’re the most talented roster in the league, so I do. Just gotta ignore bad advice

[scaryjerry]

The path couldn’t be any easier but to be honest - No. nothing I’ve seen post all star break or since the start of the playoffs has shown me they’re gonna win the title. They still could but as of right now I think they’re pretty overrated, even nationally getting credit for being better then they actually are.
Hopefully that can turn around and they can win 18

[Atzar]

Not really, no.  I'm not counting us out.  I fully believe that the talent is there, and there's no titan to hide from in the NBA right now.  But I think our bad habits will eventually take us out. 

[Banner18now!]

Unless this team realizes how important defense is and starts digging in again then, no. I mean look at Miami, how much talent is on that roster right now compared to the Celtics? But they buy in to playing hard and playing defense. Imagine if a roster like the Celtics bought into that the way Miami does?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

I’m just gonna wait and see. This team is so much better than Philly. Need to see a huge improvement tomorrow

sixers +10 at my sportsbooks now. Think i will take it

Same with me. This team is very frustrating but I think we can definitely bounce back, as we always do. For what it’s worth, the oddsmakers still look at the Celtics as overwhelming favorites to win it all. I hope they are correct.

[SparzWizard]

Silver lining to this is winning Game 1's don't win the series. Last year the Bucks won Game 1 at the Garden. Celtics won Game 1 in GSW. Heat won Game 1 at home.

But I'd have to be very concerned and less inspired and dejected if they drop game 2.
