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

[kraidstar]

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!!

BTB is actually Scott Foster.

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.

I suspect it’s probably because they’re worried he might break down if he plays longer minutes so they use him as an impact player

It could also be he doesn’t space the floor so they can’t play a 5 out offense

Tatum played 43 minutes, while everyone else played 35 or less.

I just hope if they go on a deep run that that doesn't come back to bite them like it sort of did last year in the Finals (potential fatigue/wearing down)

[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

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 

Yeah that was a blunder for the ages

And moving that pick with us and they get Markelle Fultz while we got Tatum at #3 and that future first-rounder (forgot who they drafted with that or was it traded)

I agree but Tatum barely played last game!

So if Philly loses this series, Doc Rivers is good as gone right?

I fully expect C's to win game 4 and then LOSE game 5
