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

[blink]

The refs and the horrible shooting and poor play from Kemba and Tatum really sunk us tonight.  It sucks because the 76'ers were primed to be beat tonight.

Hayward needs to be the guy for them along with Walker.  Tatum needs to defer or they need to move him.

LOL Tatum is barely 21 and Brad cannot control him. What a joke.

Yep, it's Brad's fault when Tatum inevitably loses the ball on drives 5 times a game. Give me a break.

This team might be less fun to watch than last year. At least Irving was fun to watch

Yeah, he was real fun to watch in the playoffs when he gave up on his team. Poor character, faux-intellectual hack is what he is.

I agree.  I wrote that earlier.  Brad needs to establish a pecking order.  Hayward needs to creat more and Tatum less.  Hayward keeps the ball moving and finds open guys.  Tatum holds on to it stopping the movement and then only looks for his own shot.

Hayward only positive..Kemba a big zero and rest of team looked hung over..Sixers are not cream of the conference either..Bucks are licking chops now...Only one game but [dang], we had no alpha disruptor

Tatum isn't nearly as good as many think he is.

Kemba will play better.   I don't miss Kyrie haha.

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.

[tenn_smoothie]

Oh Sorry, Walker & Tatum 12 - 40. Whatever was I thinking ??

[ozgod]

If they hit a normal percentage of free throws and Jaylen doesn’t get into foul trouble we would’ve been fine. Most pleasant surprise was that Embiid and Horford weren’t a huge mismatch.

Embiid looked very rusty.  I don't think you can read much into this game on any side.  It was just an ugly awful to watch basketball game.

I know there’s always a lot of histrionics in the game threads (which is why I love them  ) but I agree we can’t take much from one game especially one as disjointed as this. Things I will take though:

- Hayward looks good, drawing fouls and much more aggressive
- Kanter looked solid
- Tatum is trying too hard to be the Man needs to settle down
- this teams shooting woes from distance haven’t gone away

[azzenfrost]

Not too high, not too low. I hope Brad got enough data. On to the next.

Blame this one on Brad Stevens

No net presence

Simmons destroys in the interior

[jpotter33]

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

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