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

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

Mike

Defending Harden...easy as pi

The Celtics played excellent D for the 2nd game in a row. Maybe a few too many fouls but their effort was consistent throughout.

Hopefully his bad play goes on forever

Credit to the Celtics defense as well though. They've been picking him up much higher and keeping the pressure on him after game 1.

They didn’t shoot particularly well but they made clutch shots when they needed to. Phillys 45% from 3 on lower go,Ime was because we left Melton and Tucker open on the corners too much

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.

Philly were better without him. Embiid makes Philly so much easier to defend against for this Boston team.

So far, Celtics are 3-1 on the road in the playoffs? They love playing well on the road I can see that lol

It's very weird. Same with the Bruins. I think I read a stat somewhere that in the last 14 combined games for the B's and C's in playoffs, they are 7-7. And in just the last 5 games, they are 1-4 lol (B's lost Games 5 + 7, Celtics lost Game 5 last round and Game 1 this round before winning Game 2).

But they play well on the road and look much better too

Last year in the C's run, they lost 2 games at home in the ECF, and 2 in the Finals.

Weird.

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

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

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

I'd hate to be her therapist tomorrow

Signing a player that bad to another contract would be irrational

I loved it. Was miserable like the crowd

PHI needed to take both at home to have a real chance this series. Now the C's have full control and momentum. Refs did everything they could too. I know the C's are prone to letdowns, but I just can't see them not closing this series in 5 or 6 now. They are just much better and I also think we'll see some elements of "quit" from the Sixers, notably Harden. Already saw some of it today

[ozgod]

Harden 5-28 the last 2 games and by the 2nd half of this game he was pulling a Simmons giving up shots at the rim

JAylen was in his head
