Sixers (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Round 1 Game 2 8/19/20

[Phantom255x]

Tacko Fall played 20 minutes less than Horford tonight.

And he finished with only 1 point less and 1 rebound less than Horford LOL

Kanter - 10 pts
Wanamaker - 9 pts
Grant - 7 pts
Romeo - 6 pts

Kanter was 1 for 5 from the line, but went full beat otherwise.

Since March 6th, Romeo has attempted 6 three pointers. He got one and it was tonight.

Marcus was 1 for 7 from three...he'll break out one of these nights. On defense he was on fire as usual.

Comment from reddit that had me crying laughing: "A friendly reminder that for $300 million USD, you can either buy an entire Hawaiian island or get a combined 17 points on 18 shots in an NBA playoff game"

Brad deserves credit for this one. Good adjustments, rode the hot hand, trusted Kanter. All-round good stuff

Stevens vs Brett Brown is just unfair. Brown is very likely gone from the NBA after this series.

For real. it'd be like Garry Kasparov taking on an 8 year-old in chess

sorry, couldn’t resist. 



edit: for the uninitiated, that’s bobby fischer.

I also consider it a huge win that none of our guys had to play heavy minutes tonight (36+)

Tatum had the highest with 31, which is great.

Hey, that Kanter 3 was enormous for us in the 1st quarter. I'll take the lame misses from the line...although, he better get some FT practice in tomorrow. I don't think we can count on downtown Kanter consistently!

Definitely glad Marcus didn't waste one of his "on fire" games in a 27 point rout.  Save those for when we really need them.

Haha - I was actually bummed when he made that last one. It will all average out in the end for him and I wanted him to save as many makes as possible for when it really counts!

Since I can't watch the game I've dropped by the game thread for the first time since this was over at Celticsblog.  Feels like home, and not a bad night to come back.  Not bad at all.  And thanks all for the commentary, I'm living vicariously tonight!

Your username probably has nothing to do with this song, but I thought you might at least want to know about it!

Hell yeah, now I've got a theme song!  Thanks!

You're welcome!

Great that we have a 2-0 lead. Now we need to win on the road, don't want this turning into a 2-2 series.

Wanamaker has been a very nice piece off the bench this season. Really glad to have him in these playoffs. He's got a vet presence together with the aggressiveness we need from the bench.

Can't tell if tongue-in-cheek or not

Horford another 2 point, 1 rebound performance in the 2nd half after the same stat line in the first half.  He did have one block in the 2nd half.

I'm sure Philly fans are losing their crap right now.

It really is bad.

Like, I think he'd look better in a different role on a different team, but I'm not so sure anymore.  He's gotten worse as the season went on and has been worse yet in the bubble.

If we had Al instead of Theis starting..im pretty sure he would perfectly compliment our current group of guys..he isnt needed for scoring anymore but angchoring the D....I still think his pick n pop game hasnt abandoned him...he is just useless in the Sixers schemes.

Missed the game, this will be a fun one to watch on DVR 

In hindsight Brand stealing Horford from us and Danny doing nothing to stop it was a Danny masterstroke

Nah... he is cooked...dont underestimate the genius of CBS making people better.
