76ers (31-18) at Celtics (32-15) Game $48 2/1/20

That T on Wanamaker looks super weak. Embiid stares down players more than that on literally every score

and every nonscore...

[coco]

Not enjoying Gordo’s disappearing act. 

yeah, needs to hit a couple of up close buckets to get a rhythm.

Important 2nd half for him.   He's been on fire the last few games -- I think it will be great for his confidence if he can turn the bad shooting 1st half into a solid 2nd half.   Do it Gordon!

I just want more effort from him.  He doesn’t look as engaged...

[blink]

Wannamaker had a great first half.

Gotta assume Embiid will have a big second half so we need to shut down the fast break points and offensive rebounding. And Smart and Hayward need to make some shots.

Overall good half of basketball given the quality of opponent and lacking Kemba and Enes.

It was a very odd half. The 1st quarter was all Embiid slowing the game down in the half court and creating points from fouls; while the 2nd half was all Simmons blowing by guys for lay-ups and creating (incredibly) easy looks for his teammates. I also assume Embiid will have a big half, but I'd certainly rather see them struggle on each possession for tough points than Simmons making our defense look like swiss cheese.

Hayward having a tough shooting night. He’s been taking good shots just bricking them. Let’s hope he doesn’t go into his shell and just stand in the corner in the 2nd half

agreed.  it's not like he's just missing.  he's missing badly.  like he's got a cast on his hand level of bad

[Sophomore]

Great sequence for Theis!!

[nickagneta]

Wow....Philly coaches felt Embiid wasn't playing hard.

That's not good.

[SCeltic34]

Jaylen's midrange game is insanely good.

[Sophomore]

Yikes. Hayward has missed some easy looks.

[slamtheking]

thankfully Sixers are still shooting poorly or C's would be in real trouble right now

[SCeltic34]

We're dodging bullets.  Philly is missing wide open 3's.  We're going to have to do better.

[BitterJim]

This second half is ROUGH so far

There's been, what, 1 made shot?

[slamtheking]

wow, even Hubie Brown knows not to keep shooting 3's when you're shooting like crap as a team.

[jpotter33]

Philly is just an inherently flawed team. Simply not enough shooting in their main guys.

And I think it's pretty clear at this point that Ben and Embiid are oil and water and just don't fit together.

[Sophomore]

Philly’s missing shots, so are we.
