Celtics (33-25) at 76ers (34-22) Game #59 2/15/22

Every time I see Hauser play I like what he brings.

Could he be turned into a Duncan Robinson like weapon? I think maybe so with some work, because he has good height and length, a fast release and is almost deadeye when open, even if only by a little bit.

TP

He has other facets to his game behind shooting too. I think Duncan Robinson is his ceiling. Good model to emulate. His release needs to speed up to get there.

Yeah, Hauser has hit 4 NBA 3s so far. Three in this game.  LOL

Premature much? LOL

Lol, probably but there is definitely something there to work with. I see more potential in him than I ever did with Max Strus or Garrison Mathews or Tremont Waters or Taco Fall.

Agreed.

Everybody who played tonight for the Celtics played really hard the whole game. That is the difference that is leading to this streak.

[Celtics2021]

This game is making me nervous. We are shooting unsustainably well.

Narrator:  It was sustainable.

I love when The Celtics make history against the hated Sixers:

"The margin of victory was the largest by the Celtics over Philadelphia in a rivalry that has been played 457 times. Boston's previous biggest win was a 124-87 drubbing of Philadelphia on Dec. 20, 1987.

Joel Embiid had 19 points and nine rebounds for the 76ers. The NBA's leading scorer entering the contest averaging 29.5 points, Embiid had his string of games with at least 25 points end at 31 in a row."

If somebody told me before the game that Robert Williams wasn't playing and Smart would leave the game with an injury halfway through the 2nd quarter, and the game was a blowout, ya I don't think I'd picture this.

Most fun Celtics game of the past 2 years, at least.

[nickagneta]

Found this interesting, if you took all the Celtics points away from them after the 5:23 mark left in the 3rd quarter, they would still have won the game.

How about if I tell your past self that Embiid got 14 free throws in the first half, and the Sixers went to the line 17 more times than the C’s?

If the Jays got the same foul whistles Embiid got, they would easily have 10 more wins.

Last time Marcus sprained his ankle, he missed like 3+ weeks.

[hpantazo]

Say what you want, this win was [dang] satisfying!

[Celtics2021]

Last time Marcus sprained his ankle, he missed like 3+ weeks.

Luckily there’s a week off in games, and then a soft stretch of opponents when they restart, so the C’s should be okay if it’s 2ish weeks.  It’d be nice to have him for Memphis on March 3rd.

They are the #6 seed and yet they are only 3.5 games behind the #1 seed. What an interesting Eastern Conference
