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

Game 6 on Thursday is 7:30 PM on... ESPN. So probably Doris Burke again (UGH)

I do not think Philly can play better in game 6
Philly will be tight as hell in game 6
Philly acting like they have won the series already

Celtics can't play any worse and this team seems to like it when it is tough sledding.

OUR COACH?

NOT A DOCTOR

NOT A NURSE

JUST A BUM

AND THAT IS ALL IT TOOK.

A HAIR FROM BEING UP 3-1 WITH ALL MOMENTUM TO NOW BEING DOWN 3-2.

DIGUSTING

FIRE THEM ALL

[Chief]

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.

Or Grant Williams

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

Yeah let me just enjoy my birthday on Mother's Day in peace. This team is pure garbage.

Last I checked these are basically the same core of players with 3 different coaches.  At what point…again is this on the players, especially….AGAIN…the Jays.

Oh maybe the Celtics can play any worse than today and Game 4. You haven't seen it unravel yet!

[Phantom255x]

I'm a pretty optimistic guy, but I don't see them winning Game 6.

But oddly enough, I do feel very confident they can win a Game 7 IF they win Game 6 (like last year's 2nd round). But Game 6 of course is the big one. And idk, PHI just wants it more and is playing with heart, plus they are at home. Kind of feels like PHI will just put us out of our misery Thursday

Emptiest 36 point playoff performance ever?

Nope - not even close. Tatum was playing hard tonight. Setting up wide open 3 after wide open 3 early only to have his teammates miss. And then being the only player able to do anything in 2nd half. His points didn't come in a 30 point blow-out, they came down 7-15. Literally nobody else could score and the team as a whole couldn't get a stop. It's ridiculous to point the finger at him tonight.

[Who]

Embiid played very well today. His jump-shooting & floor spacing created more opportunities for others. 33pts on 23 shots and 11 FTs. Protected the hoop. Got 4 blocks. Impressive.

Harden with another strong game. 17pts 10ast 8reb.

Maxey with an explosion late in the game. I think he only had 15 at some point in the Q3 but finished with 30pts.

Tobias Harris with a big first half and steady 2nd half. 16pts and 11rebs.

Philly are near impossible to beat when they all 4 of their big name guys to play well at the same time. They deserved it today. They showed up and took it from Boston.

They played with hunger and believe. BOS didn't.

i’d take that bet.

[celticinorlando]

I fully believe if the celtics win game 6 they roll in game 7

I just do not see a 40 point night from Tatum again like vs the bucks

[Phantom255x]

Curious to see what Mazzulla says in the postgame. I hope he gets grilled by the reporters.
