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

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.

Because the rest of the team plays better when he’s not in the game? Everything runs through him and he’s not a great passer and doesn’t make anyone better…just my opinion

Nice win!

Yes it was. And a TP for you too Potter

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

Mike

Signing a player that bad to another contract would be irrational

That's the one I'm looking for!

TP

Made me work!
But back at ya brotha

[King] Horford said he’s gone through ups and downs shooting all season. Said it’s a part of being “an elite shooter.” One media member laughed at that label. Horford: “You’re laughing? You don’t think I’m an elite shooter? My numbers don’t support it?” Media member: "Yes they do."

Good for Horford. Backed it up with his play tonight and shot very well (17 points, 6-8 from the field, 5-7 from 3 and a bunch of timely buckets). Wasn't terrible on defense either and looked solid there.

YUP

SHAQ SAID IT BEST

WE GOT LAZY WITH JOEL OIUT

WITH HIM IN WE ARE FOCUSED NOW AND WILL KICK THEIR BUTTS

CELTICS IN 5

Isn’t it ironic that it was Scott Foster who called the 5 second inbound violation? That was huge.

That was strange.

He threw us a bone only once the game was out of reach. They love to even things out once it doesn't matter anymore

He wanted to silence the arena after they trashed him for that one year. I see they always bash or threaten his sister for whatever reason too. Horford has always been a spy working for the C's. Helped derailed The Process in 2020 and made them dysfunctional so much they get swept and fired Brett Brown

JOE AT THE PODIUM ON NBA TV POST GAME

What did he say about Rob Williams ?

Didn’t say anything on the NBC Sports Boston presser coverage

Can't believe it wasn't one of the first questions asked.

I'm back on NBA TV now, different Sixers speaking. Who dresses these people ? How hard is it to put on some nice khakis, a decent shirt and a jacket if you want. I know you gotta be cool, but they look like clowns.

Agree 100%. He mucks up their whole perimeter offense.

His rim protection, rebounding, and free throws more than even things out, but it's hard to win close games without a real offense.

Jimmy Butler all the way. She'll faint every time he refers to himself in the third person

But at least that means she won't be talking
