76ers (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) Round 2 Game #5 5/9/23

This is why I said after Game 4 it's not worth my time to stress about this team.

Look at their performance and body language. They are an unserious team. Even in the interviews, they just say the same thing over and over, but repeat the same mistakes every time. I bet you even after this game they'll be like, "oh we just got to play better. Big game coming up" without feeling urgency 

WE NEED A NEW hc

NEW gm OR

NEW OWNERSHIP

OR ALL OF THE ABOVE

Horford would be a fine bench player for us going forward as he ages, but CBS needs to get another starting big here. Timelord is also injury prone. I don't mind keeping Griffin as like the 4th big, but they need to consider using Timelord/Horford as rotational bigs off the bench and get another one here. Maybe consider trading Smart + picks in a package to acquire one this offseason IF the C's don't reach the Finals

C's should be down more. What's wild is if they hit their FTs, it's a 5 point game.

Embiid looks tired. They spotted the 76ers a lead but it is within striking distance if they get it together.

for this team, those are some big “ifs”.

Game 5 against ATL showed all there was to know on if they learned any lessons last season. I've been on cruise control ever since then mentally watching this team.

76ers are playing well enough but still stink. Celtics should still win and if they don’t it’s solely on them and they’ll still win this series in 7.

I wouldn’t mind giving Houser or PP a shot. At least when they go zone

YES! We have 3 excellent shooters getting no playing time. Hauser PP and Muscala.

[Dchuck]

Well, hopefully the team shows some pride out of the break and shuts us up.

I feel old, like "back in my day the players played hard throughout the playoffs and cared about winning".  Guys like that seem few and far between.  They might not like losing, but they don't HATE it.  And yeah, I'll admit, seeing Tatum with a huge smile on his face while down double digits in the first half irritates me.

That's why I don't understand the narrative of Tatum having a "Mamba mentality".  Kobe would be ripping someone's head off in the locker room right now.

[celts55]

The thing I’ll never understand is how in the bonus and you continue to shot 3 after 3. Take the ball to the basket

I'm just watching the box score occasionally. I'll tune in in the 4th quarter if they managed to retake the lead

I AM DONE WATCHING PERIOD IF WE LOSE THIS SERIES AND JOE OR BRAD IS NOT CANNED

ENOUGH OF THIS GARBAGE

I WILL BOYCOTT UNTIL ONE OR THE OTHER IS FIRED

[Phantom255x]

If we are going to lose today, I hope it's by 12+ and not another last-minute heartbreaker. I can't handle that

NO ARGUMENT FROM ME

U ARE RIGHT

THEY HAVE MADE SAME DUMB MISTAKES SINCE WHEN?

2015?

What if this roster actually had a real coach?

I said earlier that Tatum needs to get freaking mad.  He needs to take this personally.  You are supposed to be an MVP caliber player.  You and JB put the team on your back and bring us back.

[hpantazo]

We're shooting 36% and somehow are within 9. Live by the three, die by the three. Tatum, Horford, White all have to hit a few of those looks.
