Celtics (1-1) at 76ers (1-1) Round 2 Game #3 5/4/23

Celtics 113
Sixers 105

Tatum bounces back and has a takeover game scoring 36 points. White has a great game with 20+ points, and I predict Horford bounces back and has some big buckets in the 2nd half to help us win. Speaking of Horford, did people see his exchange with the media today? I think Horford will want to prove some of the doubters wrong tonight and he'll shoot well. It also feels he's very due for a productive night, including with the scoring.

Wasn't too far off! Tatum iced it for us late, and Big Al hit some big buckets in the 2nd half

Horford did shoot very well. 6-8 from the field and 5-7 from 3. Needed them all 

Elite shooter he is lol

Love the post game graphic showing pics and stats for Tatum and Brown beside Embiid and Harden - but Harden’s picture was completely missing. I have to know if the espn person responsible for that did it intentionally.

The narrative around Embiid is nauseating.
Every time the playoffs come around he’s completely gassed, he still got his numbers but frankly I thought he was awful and he doesn’t make anyone better. Idk. Not my mvp. Media still slurps it up and talks about how great he is.

While I don’t like his theatrics, Embiid was the sole reason PHI didn’t lose by like 40 tonight. He’s showed some heart. Problem for him is no one else on his team did though.

PUT EMBIID AWAY IN 5 AND DORIS CAN GET OFF HIS JOCK THEN WE CAN CRUISE TO THE FINALS

MAYBE SHE WILL PULL FOR CHEF CURRY OR LEBRON BUT WHO CARES

CELTICS ALL THE WAY

Kudos to Doc for not resting him in the 3Q. I thought he gave it his all but the C's tired him out.

So annoyed now with that game 1 loss. Could have been closing this out on Sunday if they tried in game 1.

The silver lining:

The taste of Sixers fans' tears after we gave them false hope

I'm also annoyed by the Game 1 loss, but taking the next two including Game 3 on the road sort of takes the sting away.

The Celtics are capable of beating the Sixers in blowout fashion even when they aren't playing great, whereas PHI literally needs everything to go right just to win close against us (just like late regular season with Embiid putting up 52 and us missing two starters, AND Game 1 with Harden, Melton, Maxey all going off with the C's simultaneously puking all over themselves). And look, to their full credit, they did that Game 1 and took advantage. But they still only won by just 4.

C's are way better. They should wrap this up in 5 or 6. Harden already is starting to show signs that he's quitting and thinking about his next destination.

Harden 3/14 and there's a pie joke in here somewhere...

Mike

Hopefully his bad play goes on forever

Did you hear how saddened Doris was at the end of the game? It was beautiful.
