Celtics (8-5) at 76ers (10-5) Game #14 1/22/21

[Somebody]

Tobias doesn’t seem overpaid this game.

He's still a very good player.

[Kuberski33]

I mean if Rwill is still having covid problems I feel for him,  but it's the same stuff he has always done.  Watch him run in transition.  his motor is garbage.   can you fix motor?  it doesn't seem like he has done much to improve it.

You obviously haven't watched too many games this season.

There you go, Semi.

Though it makes me physically sick that GWill's play is making me long for Semi to play 

I mean to be fair Semi is Jordan compared to GWill

[Ogaju]

We need more talent/depth, point blank. We have guys in the game right now that probably couldn't sniff the jock straps of 2nd teamers on other contenders also rans.

There fixed that for you. This is not a contender.

Excellent, that should temper your expectations then.

why?

It's just that you tend to whine a bit. If they're not that good then bemoaning them for not being good seems a little redundant.

calling out garbage play and garbage coaching is  not whining. Do yu think this team is a contender?

[SCeltic34]

Ok.  So we get the rebound, and Smart goes iso on one side of the court while everyone else stands around?  What are we doing Brad?

[Atzar]

Foe a team who lives and die by the 3's why it seems that the opponent's 3 point shooters are much better than ours?

Because the Sixers' three point shooters are actually better than ours.

We're giving minutes to guys like Smart, Teague, G Williams, Green, Theis, Thompson.  Which of these guys are you afraid of as shooters? 

Credit to Philly.  They had no shooting around Embiid last year, they addressed the weakness and came back better.  At some point we'll have to do the same if we want to give Brown and Tatum a chance to win here.

 i watch every game.   you obviously don't watch williams enough.

This surprised me. I always considered his issues to center around mental lapses, not motor/effort.

[PAOBoston]

Brutal shot by Smart

How good I think the team is has nothing to do with what I said.

i mean, it's a little of both.

I will take that as a No, thanks for playing.

[Scottiej23]

I'm still waiting for Philly to have a cold spell shooting....looking more and more like that may not be until their next game at the earliest. Which does not bode well for this game.

Imagine if Embiid REALLY got hit. Given his disproportionate reaction to pseudo contact, a legitimate bump could actually make him physically implode or something.

[MICeltsfan]

To be honest I can’t believe we’re only down 12. I mean 9.

Take it how you like, you always do anyway.
