Game 2 will be much difficult. But if we win, I think we can control this series.A very brutal piece of illustration in the header.
This will be either a Sixers blowout or a close Celtics win. Hoping Boston can figure it out one more time.
Up two on this young sixers team would be big
I think the fans will respond to Embiid challenge and make some noise tonight!
I DONT KNOW WHAT I THINK ANYMORE
If the Celtics win tonight and Jaylen Brown doesn't play, then I would sit him out until game 5. If the Celtics happen to win one game in Philly too, then I wouldn't bring Brown back in the series unless there is a game 6 or 7.
I am not optimistic with a hamstring injury that we would see Brown until the next series if we can manage to get by the 76'ers. One hard stop at full speed is all it will take to re injure a not fully healed hammy. We need to be careful with this for sure.

Ironic post given your handle. I'm confident that Brad and the trainers will do their due diligence, and I for one hope he's on the floor tonight.
Tonights game beveridge on ice........

OLDE ENGLISH 800 ......perferred NBA stock item for playoffs
if we win great ....if not NO pain :)
looked on one site and C's are 4.5 point underdogs ha

They were 5 point underdogs in Game 1.
And get this, the Celtics are 8-0 when they are considered underdogs at home this season (playoffs included, like Game 1) :o 8)
Brown upgraded to “probable”

Ernie Johnson called that "the kiss of death" lol
Those feet have turned my red wine yellow🤢🤢
Is Charles brain damaged? This TNT show is beyond difficult to watch. Who likes this nonsense?
Nervous and excited at the prospect of Jaylen playing tonight. Jaylen coming out healthy maybe as important as the outcome of the game.
Terrible start. Terry can't go back to his old, poor-BBIQ ways if we want to win. He can't be taking those quick, dumb shots then slack on the other end.His iq has been the same all the way through; not good. Only difference is making shots.
we are playing like raptors facing lebron 😁 We just need to settle down

Please, Basketball Gods, don't let Jaylen get hurt anymore tonight.
JAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I guess that's how you test it. Heart in mouth on that leap.

Saric sucks. At least two people on this board were arguing with me that he would average 20,9 and 5 and make all star games. Hope they are watching this...
Is it just me or did Jaylen look like he was in pain when he landed?
He should sit back down.I think you’re right.
What a play. He looks like he's hurting and that's less lift than he usually has, but that was beautiful nonetheless.

He's a good supporting player, but that's about it.

Saric was on the line. Need to review that 3.
ok...gettin worried
Pressure from smart causes turnover
Starting to get frustrated with Morris.Put Yabu in ;)
Morris is playin like garbage.
Morris is terrible right now. Just terrible. Stevens cannot allow him to do this.

no tellin whats in dem thangs
Why are we not running our offense through Horford as much so far this game?
Baynes needs to get physical. He's playing like he's stoned.
Cs are getting creamed on the boards.
Embiid misses lots of bunnies.You made him hit that fadeaway you know ;D
we are done. we have to resort to threes from baynes down 16????
Put in MOOOOSE!
we are done. we have to resort to threes from baynes down 16????
Done? Come on.
I think this is time to try Monroe for a few minutes. We need somebody who is willing to do work on the glass.
It's amazing how you can tell whether the Celtics are going to win or lose a game in the first 24 minutes.
Baynes is not horford... can we please stop trying to use him as a facilitator and stretch big, hes just not skilled enough for that role
We've come back from larger deficits. Baynes should not play the rest of this game. Morris either. Use Semi and Monroe.
When the Celtics play bad, there are no silver linings. Just general mediocrity.
bk say nuggets

jus nuggets

Aaand that's the danger with Monroe. He can't find a way to the rim on offense and then completely loses his man on defense for a wide open three.
We had to try it - I don't fault the decision, and in fact I called for it - but this is why he's fallen out of the rotation.
Digging themselves a hole they can't get our from.
It's one thing to lose. It's another to just look so listless out there.
Philly looks like the hungrier team.
I'd sit Jaylen the rest of this game. Game's pretty much over.
well at least the 36-0 when leading by 2-0 will be safe after this game...because we ain't winning this game and its gonna be 1-1 by half time.
PATHETIC effort by everyone.
I can't ask for it directly but if someone would just glance at my numbers you may be able to have an impact on this game.
**** Robert Covington
Rozier drives me freaking nuts. He is so inconsistent and it's so maddening.But he makes Kyrie expendable right?? ::)
Alright get Monroe out. He can't shoot, and can't defend embiid
Alright get Monroe out. He can't shoot, and can't defend embiidSo basically the same as everyone else tonight
Nice foul Greg!
A few pages earlier, it was all doom and gloom. C's down by 4.
Never say die with this group.
That was pretty hard to believe. Cut from 21 to 4 in how long?like 10 second lol
I would like to apologize to my fellow fans and the team.
Holy Moly!!!! We are rocking-not over!!!!!!!

Sadly, this is what I was expecting. They're making the open shots.
We need to keep it close, and execute better in crunch time. Don't let them to take a big lead.
Also, we're gonna need more out of Morris in both ends of the floor. If we want to win this series, we need everyone playing at a high level.
Holy Moly!!!! We are rocking-not over!!!!!!!
THIS FRICKING TEAM IS BI POLAR
I HAVE SAID IT FOR AGES
So excited aftee those last 4 minutes
Sixers players were celebrating like they won the finals-How about that response-😁
we are done. we have to resort to threes from baynes down 16????Lol. Love going back and looking at post like these.

about tree fiddy
That was a run!I'm having a great time reading all the sixers forums cry
76ers can't be happy. They played perfect basketball for 20 minutes, then lost their **** in the last four minutes of the half and are only up four at the break.
Hope we bring this same energy to the second half. Can't win playoff games without effort.
I'd sit Jaylen the rest of this game. Game's pretty much over.
We're not even half way through the second quarter. Geez.
No one has addressed my unfortunate stat to the left and still the C's mounted a remarkable comeback. Lots still to do to keep this a game.

I'm watching with the sound off, but I am assuming that Smart's last 3 was called a 2. Right?

Who gives a crap..He is actually our lucky charm as long as he keeps cussing this team down, we are good.
Omg Rozier lol You are so hot n cold.

Why doesn't Barkley answer his phone?
No ring.
All of that without Tatum on the floor.

He's a New Englander. We know who he's rooting for.

Ignited by Smart. THAT's why he's the heart and soul of this team. He does whatever it takes to win and positively inspires the guys around him.
Unbelievable they are within six after that
Barkley still gives us no credit
Screw Barkley
I give credit to Moose. He didn't put up the numbers but he came in and played hard. I loved that hard foul on Embiid.

the team must keep up the pressure in the second half.

Ahhh relief. Back at ya.
Anyone notice simmons is nonexistent on defense and isn't rebounding? He's like hiding or something lol
Smart so mad his three pointer was ruled a two, he came out and received justice!
body language of sixers changing big time
LEAD!!!
Ben Simmons is virtually useless offensively in the halfcourt set.This. He isn’t nearly the playmaker people make him out to be (yet)
Smart is going to be in Simmons' nightmares.
Does Marcus Smart impact a game or what?
Ben Simmons is virtually useless offensively in the halfcourt set.
I honestly don't know how any Celtics fan cannot love Smart. Dude is so important to our team and overall identity.

For a team that's basically a hodge-podge of bench guys and near-rookies, this team displays remarkable patience and willingness to move the ball on offense.reminds me of that championship spurs team that beat the heat with horford playing the Duncan role and brown playing the kawhi role
Horford has a lot to do with it, but other guys are buying in too. These guys look like they've been playing together for a decade.

No...both had great rookie years despite having ZERO jumper. After that it was down hill as teams knew how to guard them because they sucked as shooters.
DO NOT go ISO Morris on offense.
we did! again!
Put Moose on him!
Morris had a guy ahead with 4 seconds left. He should have passed that ballHe refuses to pass. It's extremely annoying.

Moose needs to Greg Kite him!
Embiid made contact with Tatum on that drive there. If you're gonna call what little contact Baynes made with Embiid, at least be consistent. Tatum should have been shooting FTs.
Pretty amazing game so far. Tatum is my favorite rookie ever.

Simmons is watching all this from bench.
Do we have another burst in us...

They need to move the ball like they were in the 3rd. Covington has made some tough shots that you have to live with.
Simmons is watching all this from bench.
McConnell much more effective tonight.

Say what you will, but simultaneously fouling two people in the same play in different ways is impressive. 8)

Simmons + Fultz = 1 point

Yep. Love Smart. He has to shoot sometimes. But that is exactly the kind of thing he has to stop.
BIG ALLLLLLLLLLL HORFFFOOOORRRDDDD! Makes it even better on an Embiid defensive mistake, too! ;D

I almost had heart attacklol

Embiid simply can't guard Al out on the perimeter.
Smart caught napping on that.
No timeouts left for the Sixers. They needed a 3 there.Network announcers never tell you that.

Nice win, but we have yet to win a road game in these playoffs. That needs to change on Saturday.
Horford burned by Embiid on that last layup. He's no defensive player of the year.embiid has 5 fouls. from that point on he ceased to play defense and that changed the game in favor of the celtics.

Embiid was already looking worn out and looking for a way out after picking up his 4th.
CBS should play combos with big, strong and heavier lineups (Horford, MM; Baynes with Monroe) and make him work on the inside. He's not "enjoying" the contact and it affects his willingness to play on both ends of the floor.

Whether we win or lose this series, I'm proud of this team. No quit, all fight! ;D

Obviously still a LONG way to go in this series, but dang it sucks that we could play Lebron in the ECF again but w/o Hayward & Kyrie... :(
The Sixers got no calls tonight. I absolutely expect this to even out.Ben Simmons just finished that game with 1 point, having gone 0-4 from the field. Wow.
The refs are going to give him a ton of help next game. The NBA can't have their next superstar looking so bad.
Maybe they will realize that Tatum and Brown are the NBAs next superstars!
Can’t wait to read the Philly blog tomorrow.
Wonder what the next excuse will be and what great improvement they will sudden make against Boston next
wanna beat down lebron so bad but we need kyrie and hayward
I'm not concerned about losing to LeBron. I'm concerned about losing to everyone else he's playing with -- and that was a lot easier when he had Kyrie Irving.if it is us and lebron in ECf again

ORLANDO!!!

What it up my man?? Always great to see you posting again. My dude!
This team has far outpaced my expectations. Just unrealIn all fairness, though, we're about evenly matched with Philly with the injuries.
Its even...The 76'ers got the calls the last game.The Sixers got no calls tonight. I absolutely expect this to even out.Ben Simmons just finished that game with 1 point, having gone 0-4 from the field. Wow.

in terms of talent, yeah. celtics have more atheletes. but philly has embiid.This team has far outpaced my expectations. Just unrealIn all fairness, though, we're about evenly matched with Philly with the injuries.
Wonder what the odds were that Cavs and Celts would be up 2-0?Hope the raptors don't quit. For whoever plays the cavs the more fatigued the better.

tp for the link. my favorite one was...
"The celts are just a better team. They are all athletic. They can all shoot. Their coach is great. They play hard. I think our future is great but the celts are just better."
Looked at Jason Tatum today and it is clear his body has not fully developed yet...he still looks like a teenager and you can tell he has not participated in some of the strength and conditioning used by young folks now. This kid is going to be phenomenal once he grows into his body and gets an NBA strength program.

It's always interesting to see other blogs that allow swearing and rampant personal attacks. It definitely makes me appreciate the rules here.
90% of the comments in that thread are pure garbage. There's like maybe a handful or so of actual insightful comments. I realize it's not a fair comparison to compare the forums here to the game thread over there, but even the front page on CB has a better tenor and more substance than that crap.

Now that is an astute fan.
This is insane, I was hoping for a comeback when we were down 22 but thought we would fall short at the end... and yet we made a massive comeback and got all the plays we needed at the end. Wow. Morris hit some huge shots, it was way overdue ! Kudos to Tatum and everybody, really, especially JB and his crazy dunks considering his health. I think we have the mental edge on the Sixers now, you could tell in Embiid's and Simmons' postgame pressers that they are saying all the things they're supposed to say but look shaken.Great win!
Getting game 3 would definitely put the hammer down on them, I hope the troubles we went through in Milwaukee will have the team prepared to get their "killer" mentality from tipoff. If Philly is running after the score all game long we should have a big advantage - and I hope Brett Brown doesn't play McConnell more, he killed us in game 2 and was way better than Simmons.

Jayson Tatum (20 years, 61 days) is now the youngest player to ever score 20+ PTS in 4 straight playoff games. The previous youngest was Kobe Bryant (20 years, 272 days) who accomplished that feat in 1999. @EliasSports
When asked what sparked the shift in the second quarter, Smart was ready to respond with a confident answer: “Greg Monroe.” After not playing in Game 7 against Milwaukee or Game 1 against the Sixers, Monroe logged six minutes off the bench and tallied four points.
But important contributions don’t always come via scoring.
“He checked in and instantly had an impact on the offensive end,” Smart said of Monroe. “We were real stagnant on the offensive end, not moving the ball. He came in, got the flow of the game going for us.”
"Unfortunately, he couldn't really stay in much, because he made Embiid look like an express train passing a small train stop".QuoteWhen asked what sparked the shift in the second quarter, Smart was ready to respond with a confident answer: “Greg Monroe.” After not playing in Game 7 against Milwaukee or Game 1 against the Sixers, Monroe logged six minutes off the bench and tallied four points.
