Celtics (43-17) at 76ers (39-19) Game #61 2/25/23

Need to give Embiid credit he is one helluva a player and makes his free throws.

Celtics own Philly. What a great play Mazz drew up at the end. Give credit where credit is due.

Brown gave us that cushion in the 4th.  He had that one terrible turnover, but otherwise got us 10 points, some defensive stops, and a hell of a pass to Timelord.  White solid all game.  Tatum showed up when it mattered most.

We were due for a win like this.

White and Brogdon kept us in this game.  Rob and JB had good games also.

And Al

Yeah, I mean, the Sixers missed a 3 to go up 16 and then Al just went unconscious from 3. He is the main reason we won. He deserves more than a mention.

everybody giving the C’s playoff intensity games and the C’s finding ways to win, even if it’s ugly at times. pretty impressive.

Very impressive.

Kinda handy having two timeouts... Just saying..

And Al

Al was huge tonight. He's going to be running through Embiid's head throughout the series if we end up playing the Sixers in the playoffs.

I think that just about clinches at least a Top-2 seed for us for sure. We are 4 games up on PHI AND we have the tiebreaker over them. Basically we only have to worry about MIL the rest of the way, with the prize being the 1 seed. If not, we're very very likely the 2 seed. Probably don't have to worry about PHI in the standings now, as PHI also has a tough March schedule. CLE is too far behind us as well

extra sweet Tatum hitting that in Philly where they must still be crying over the Fultz for Tatum trade

Remember when we were supposed to be afraid of the process?

Yeah, me neither.

So true.

[celticinorlando]

Missing 4 starters…beat Philly
Tatum plays poorly, get down by 15…beat Philly

No fear of the sixers whatsoever

i have zero respect for guys whose entire game is built around bully ball and get away with it. plus, embiid has horrific footwork and gets away with traveling on 25-30% of his possessions. he does make his free throws, though.
