Celtics (54-24) at 76ers (52-26) Game #79 4/4/23

Kornet May be the softest 7 footer in history. Why he even gets playing time is beyond me. Play BG over him or Musky.

My God, Joe, does Embiid have to put up 50 before you realize that GWill on him isn’t working??

Not a lot of options with Rob out. Can’t imagine Kornet or Muscala doing any better, unfortunately..

Al is the clear best option. Embiid has hit a few tough shots over him, but the amount of pressure Al gives just swamps GWill’s minimal pressure. Embiid easily gets past him or just shoots right over him. With Al, he clearly has to work much harder to score over him.

I agree, but we can’t expect 36 year old Horford to cover him the whole game. Someone else needs to step up and that’s supposed to be Grant. Folks keep saying that he’s a $15-20M/year player. I don’t see it.

Don't just send Kornet down to the G League. Send him back to Junior High.

Is Mazz just resting Griffin for tomorrow? Kornet is getting his lunch money taken out there

Missed the 1st half, anyone want a TP for a quick summary?
No JB and no timelord is disappointing.  I was hoping that we would wait for rest days until after this game.

Didn't catch the entire half either, but for the most part the C's shot poorly, refs dominated the 1st quarter for PHI and Embiid, and Kornet continues to be garbage on the boards. To be down 7 though probably is a testament to the fact that we own Philly and they need a lot of things to go their way just to have a lead.

I think they are rotating rest. Mazz even said JB and Timelord will play tomorrow, where I'm guessing Tatum and Horford (and maybe 1-2 others) will rest tomorrow

Thanks Phantom, TP!

bricking from 3.  Embiid doing whatever he wants.  inconsistent effort on D but not completely checked out.

thank you Slam TP!

[Phantom255x]

Yeah I mean, Embiid can put up 50+ in a winning effort for PHI. I'm still not fearing them

[blink]

Embiid is a clown.

+1...when we play Philly that fact just hits me over the head

[Phantom255x]

Got to go on a run right now with Embiid on the bench

[slamtheking]

great up court look by White

[ozgod]

How can these refs look at a player with a straight face after a non call like thst

Especially when on the other end they are calling people for breathing on Embiid and harden

[SCeltic34]

Let's go.  Gotta get over the hump

[ozgod]

That bucket was all Blake’s

[slamtheking]

Blake hustled more for that one rebound than Kornet has done for a rebound all game

[Silas]

Just noticed the fur under Blake's nose.  Has it been there all along?
