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

[CelticSooner]

In a way, I'm happy they are getting wrecked. They went into the playoffs thinking they could take games off like Game 5 in atl and gm 1 this series all because the other team was down a guy.

For that reason alone, they don't deserve a title. They got lazy and cocky. Compound that with an complete moron of a coach, and you make it impossible to win it all

I agree. They do not deserve to win a title much less this series.

[Who]

PP and Hauser should definitely get some spot minutes next game. But I'm sure Mazz will just shelve them again unless it's a blowout 

I would start Hauser next game instead of D White. Get another shooter on the court.

I do not see any way this team wins game 6.

SERIES IS OVER BUD AND I AM NORMALLY THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST

NOTHING IS CHANGING

[Phantom255x]

Even with a big lead, Doc used timeouts wisely in the 4th and they only have 1 left, but with a big lead

Then there's our coach...

the bench is more likable than the starters. i’d rather be a play-in playoff team and watch these guys hustle and play fast for 48 minutes than watch the prima donna starters.

[Who]

Little Melton with the tap-in offensive rebound.

[celticinorlando]

For the most part of this series the sixers have just played harder and smarter

[Indocelts]

 PP alway brings energy, the thing that the Jays and Joe sorely lack.

OUR COACH?

NOT A DOCTOR

NOT A NURSE

JUST A BUM

[Roy H.]

Emptiest 36 point playoff performance ever?

[PAOBoston]

One more game before this torture is over. Hope Philly finishes them off in game 6.

[RJ87]

Tatum has 34 points, but on 26 shots and with the aid of 11 FTs. The stats make it look better than it is. And that's not even including the no-show in the 1st quarter when PHI gained steam

He deserves his share of blame for the slow starts, but it's going to be compounded by our 3 guards going 7/22 and Al going 0/7.

Yeah, this wasn't an all-time great Tatum game, but it was good enough to win. Before he started actually scoring, he was gifting our guys wide open 3s which they just kept bricking. I am not going to question Tatum this game - there are a lot of others who deserve far more blame. I mean, just imagine if Horford hit a couple of those 3s when he was launching over and over again and the lead was in single digits.

Tatum only started scoring after the team was already down big and the pressure had gone.

When the game was close, he wasn't there.

He started scoring in 2nd when it was still well within reach.. But I gotta ask, lol... You think the pressure lessens if they go down in a game 5? In Boston? With this media and fanbase?

Really?

[blink]

Horford, White, Brogdon:  5/22 from the field.
Not enough from those guys.

Bad def from the whole team, but absolutely NO adjustments by Joe.

It looks pretty grim.  I don't know how we are going to get a win at Philly in game 6.
