76ers (15-15) at Celtics (15-15) Game #31 12/20/21

no reason we should have lost this game.

Did you not see Embiid

We need a 7 footer that can play. Call the Magic about Lopez.

Tatum was in front of smart coulda thrown it to him and let him drive and take a long shot.  Both lazy efforts

Good Lord, JB. Way to choke that one with an awful pass.

Not much effort by Tatum to come to the ball either.
Our two cornerstones in a nutshell, one dumb and the other passive.

[Silas]

Payton played a solid 21 min.

Why so he can rot on the bench?

[liam]

Smart with a terrible pass on that last inbounds play too. He could have gone to Pritchard near half court who was wide open.

No, it was a good pass, but Kanter was in the wrong spot.

Of course people blame Smart again. Jeebus.

Half court pass was the wrong call. It's probably on coach.

[slamtheking]

Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again. was that???!!!!

They were saying the plan was to get Embiid to the other side of the court but Kanter was too close to Brown so Embiid just stole the ball.

Apparently Brown was angry at Kanter?

that's what Scal thought they may have been trying.  just clueless offense all game

[Silas]

On the offensive side Freedom played a good game with a double double.

He would've played in this one.

[blink]

oh man I missed this game.  I saw we were up by 7 with 4 min to play.
did we completely blow this game, or did the 76ers really play well down the stretch?

Took out Pritchard and it fell apart...

well that sounds like an unlikely ending.
we were missing a lot of front line guys, so i guess it was good good that we even had a chance to win.
but this team is what its record says at this point.  barely a playoff team if things go well.  incredibly inconsistent.

I guess you can blame injuries, covid, bad luck...take your pick.  we are up and DOWN.

It was a set play.

Kanter was supposed to drag Embiid away but was on the wrong side of the court.

I'll try to grab a screenshot.

You can see Brown be angry at Kanter after the play.

So far but a long way to go.

so we didn't have a timeout when we were down 3 with 4-5 seconds left and Marcus had to throw the bomb pass just to try and get a shot?

[Silas]

Fun game except for the loss.

[Jiri Welsch]

Another embarrassing closing to a game. Our veterans that are healthy need to be much, much better than that.

Pathetic.
