This is worse than the bucks game last season in game 5. Celtics at least played hard in that game.

And I don't see anyway possible Tatum going off for 40 plus in game 6 in philly like he did last season to save their season.

TEAM HAS QUIT IT APPEARS

DUMB COACH

DUMB PLAY
LET'S GO CELTICS!

Brad will be like "because Joe didn't get a full offseason to work with the team, it's not right to just terminate him. I'll keep him for another 2-3 years"

I was shocked he extended him at the all star break.  Why was it necessary to do it then?  Why not wait until the end of the season to address it?

Tatum is trying but he still feels peripheral out there. Like the game is happening around him with him trying to react to it rather than him dictating things.

Tatum has got all the stats and records he wants. Why should he?

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.

I expect a better second half. Missed a ton of threes that we should make.

Bad first half. Hopefully Philly won't shoot as well next half.

BOS need to get some offensive flow going. They have no rhythm out there. Trying to out-talent Philly with one-on-one play rather than teamwork. Trust each other & move the ball.

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  ::)

gee, the c’s made runs in every game this series when they push the pace and run. i know i’m expecting too much from joe, but why don’t they try something other than threes?

Exactly.  We're making it so easy for them.  They need to put them on their heels, particularly Embiid and Harden.

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

Half of our shots are threes and we're shooting 26% from three.

I'm sure Joe's takeaway will be.... we need more threes.  ::)

Missed open looks from 3, midrange, and at the hoop. 

Hate that they are down 9 but not counting them out.

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.

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