Celtics (0-0) at Sixers (0-0) Game #1 10/23/19

[SCeltic34]

Relax.  It was a frustrating game (mainly because of poor reffing), but it's the first game of the season and we lost to one of the top two teams in the East on the road.

30% shooting from our two big guns.
I guess Kemba will be apologizing to the team for his play tonite after game, just like Bill Walton Opening Night for the '86 Celtics vs New Jersey. Hah !!

In other news Kyrie had 50Pts 7 rebs 8 assists and Brooklyn lost by a point

Blame this one on Brad Stevens

No net presence

Simmons destroys in the interior

It's Brad's fault we have no good interior defenders...?

I guess you didnt watch the game

Robert Williams made the 76ers at least think twice . Didnt get min in the 2nd half because CBS must play the regulars. Where is the strategy?

Why not give Porier some mins?

76ers kills the Celts on the interior (offensive end)

[slamtheking]

well that sucked.  shot ourselves in the foot the entire last half of the second quarter through the second half

[bopna]

Kemba's first game as a Celtic is a disaster.. Can't shoot lick.

We do not have a Center.

JB is overpaid.

Tatum played meh.

Our rookies are... Well rookies.

This was a winnable ball game but for some reason we played just sloppy.

Only bright spot was Hayward.

whose fault is it?

[tstorey_97]

I know it's off topic but Nets lost to twolves...Kyrie had 50 pts

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Tatum has been atrociously bad. Like wow. He looked like he learned absolutely nothing last season, and didn't do anything to improve his game in the offseason.

I mean, that's not really true. Instead of taking bad midrange shots, he's taking bad shots at the rim now. That's at least somewhat an improvement lol

Joking aside, id take that.

There will be games where if he keeps doing that, he's going to be at the line a dozen or so times. Hope he doesn't get dissuaded by this game and keep attacking.

Unreal

I am done with Brad, yall can cut him as much slack as you want, but I have seen enough. DONE. He is going to have to win back my trust.

He sat these veterans for the last preseason game. He must have thought they were ready. Huge fail.

It’s going to be a long season for you Ogaju if you’re giving up after one game

That happens when you relegate him to the fifth option on offense every time you go down the court. I'm really not sure why we didn't run some sets where he could handle the ball-he looked very comfortable doing that in FIBA and preseason.

Hard to feel encouraged after tonight. A lot of the issues tonight were literally the same issues last season too.

Hopefully they improve, but they need to do it fast. Otherwise, it'll be like last season where we just hope it comes together and it never does.

yeah yall made excuses last year too. Its not the loss. You cannot win every game. The team just plain looked bad.

whose fault is it?

Who's fault is it that we don't have interior defenders? The roster is put together by the GM, so...

But, of course, everything bad that ever happens is Brad's fault
