Horrible final possession for the half but we got away with it

That was NOT a foul on Kanter.

Just nonexistent. Jeezus. 10 fts in a half for Embiid, he's probably deserved 4 of them.

[SCeltic34]

That was NOT a foul on Kanter.

The sideline ref totally made up that call.  Complete garbage.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Boston seems out of sync—guys missing open threes, and a few layups too. And missing defensive assignments.

[jpotter33]

Terrible, terrible last possession.

[Phantom255x]

I'm not worried. Our best player sat much of the half due to foul trouble, PHI started to make a lot of shots in the 2nd half and we're still up 2.

Did smart get fouled?

[Sketch5]

Refs gonna keep this one close and give Philly a chance. C's need to star hitting shots. But on the bright side were up with Tatum sitting mist of this game so far.

[keevsnick]

Celtics are 5-20 from three, Tatum has played 8 minutes, and the C's are still up by 2 at the half. I mean if the 76ers can't even get a lead with that happening....Oh and add to that 22 points in the half for Embiid, hard to count on that.


Also Jaylen played 22/24 minutes, which shows you how much Brad trusts his backup wing options.

[blink]

Just keep grinding C's.  Get Jaylen and Marcus some rest at half time and unleash Tatum in the 3rd

Did smart get fouled?

I think he just got blocked. But they messed up the double screen opportunity

[KGs Knee]

All that and we still lead by two.  They're giving us their best shot and it's questionable if that is enough.  This is an annoyance and not much more.  We got this.

[jpotter33]

But, yeah, after that incompetent display of reffing in the first half leading to Tatum playing only 8 minutes in combination with our poor shooting, to be up by 2 at the half is a major win for us.

[Rikibellevie]

We really need a better Smart, today but more in the rest of the playoff. If not we will really miss Hayward.

The good news is they can't do so much better, as Embid is allready exploited at the maximum. But we can do a lot of things better, especially with Tatum on the floor and Smart playing a little better offensively (because it coast also points). Love the attitude and the approach of Brown

[Greenality]

I would say it was kind of a disappointing 1 half. C's should've been way in front with how messy they started the game. And now Philly are engaged and actually trying to play D. At least Tatum is well rested
