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

I know we are worried about Rob's arm, but why doesn't he play more minutes ? He has such a big impact on both ends and regularly makes big plays. He plays hard and keeps so many balls alive for us. The defense is obvious.

Great win. Loved the ball movement on offense and the switches on defense.

Weather the storm in the first half Sunday and if we can take Game 4, I think they roll over in Game 5 and Celtics close out.

Game 4 is next. Keep doing what they did in the last two. Hopefully Rob (and Grant) is ok. They will be desperate Sunday. Match their intensity and they will cave.

MB is ice in interview. Big praise to JB for turning the series around.

And classic Brogdon when asked about rough start:

“I’m not a guy who’s gonna lose confidence”.  Brogdon!

IF WE CAN WIN AND GO UP 3-1 THEY ARE DONE LIKE DINNER

[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.

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 

Sixers could have had Jimmy AND Al if they moved some money around. ROFL

Good night 

Sox on a 7-game win streak.  Didn't see that coming.

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

Philly won 50+ games this year and had a great offense statistically. It’s not Embiid’s fault Hardne turtles in the playoffs to the point he looks like Ben Simmons.

Keep foot on the defensive gas pedal from here on out. Expecting a monster game from Tatum.

Celtics 116
Sixers 103

TP for getting eerily close!!

Their biggest mistake was paying and keeping Tobias Harris.  For 190M, he really doesn't do much for them anymore lol. I often forget he's even on that team

If only us fans could be the same after the teams rough start to the series…it’s hard though [dang it]
