Celtics (2-3) at 76ers (3-2) Round 2 Game #6 5/11/23

[SparzWizard]

Timelord just brings us to that next level defensively.  We need to start him every playoff game moving forward.

Amazing we won this game with 17 turnovers and a lot of bad plays.  We got fortunate that Melton, Harden and Tucker were cold from 3.

Clearly we have to on Sunday. It'll be interesting to see if we advance what happens.

Let's just wait till we finish Game 7 first to see. I still like to think 76ers have the edge on the road. TD Garden is cursed

So, what time is game 7 on Sunday?

Still TBD. It may depend on the other games. Because there's 3 games scheduled that day if it goes Game 7 (DEN-PHO, GSW-LAL, BOS-PHI). NYK-MIA if it goes 7 games is on Monday

Ha.  I'm sure they've enjoyed reading our comments the last few days.

IM DRINKING NOW. JUST WON BIG MONEY ON CAROLINA CLOSING OUT NEW JERSEY. NEED HEAT TO WIN TOMM. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

ALL the pressure is now on Philly. Doc Rivers choking again. Harden as well. Embiid looking gassed and was mostly a non-factor late.

But most of all, the C's didn't play well and JT was garbage most of the night. And they still lost by 9 at home. C's should take care of business Sunday. I know the "TD Garden curse" but I don't feel that way about them in home Game 7s. They usually show up in those moments. They did tonight as well when they absolutely needed it.

anyone backing off the notion that joe should have benched tatum is drunk on the emotion of the “win.” if hauser or pp or grant replace jt during the game and hit just a few pedestrian buckets, the c’s win going away and they don’t need his last minute “heroics.”

this was bad coaching and if the sixers don’t completely melt down in epic doc fashion, the c’s lose handily. 

our future super max finally hit a few shots, after disappearing for most of the playoffs, including last year’s finals, and suddenly he’s the man? go sell crazy some place else.

i’m glad the c’s won and everyone can revel in the moment, but this isn’t sustainable, winning basketball.

Defense wins second round series (hopefully).

For the love of God, hopefully Joe can finally recognize that he has to pay attention to this side of the floor, too. We won with both of the Jays having terrible to bad offensive games, and we did it due to our superior defense. The defense has always been the key with this team; we're built for it. Let the dang defense feed the offense. We've all been begging for it all year.

Keep begging. Joe is too dumb, too stubborn and too petty to start emphasizing defense now even though it's right in front of him.

So, what time is game 7 on Sunday?

It depends on the results of tonight and tomorrow's games. It'll either be 3:30, 6:30, or 8pm.

Thanks. Hopefully a later time

We GOTTA give big kudos to Marcus tonight.  What an excellent balls to the walls leave everything on the court performance.
MVP of our team tonight.

Been frustrated with him all year.  But we're headed to Cancun right now if not for Marcus.  He showed up when we needed him most.

[SCeltic34]

Horford with just 2 points total in the past 2 games.  He's got the toughest assignment in guarding Embiid, but he's gotta space the floor.  I hope his 3 pointer is locked and loaded for game 7.

Our kindred spirits - every bit as miserable as we are when our team loses. lol

Cs fans miserable when they win. 76ers fans miserable when they lose. A true ying/yang of total negativity.

Thank You for telling the truth.

Good old-fashioned score.  LOVE to see the 86 on the board for Philly.

JOE IS AN IMBECILIC CHILD

I WANT HIM FIRED NO MATTER WHAT

Are the C's gassed or what? Noticed every game this series has been every other day, except between Game 6 & 7. Maybe that's why they couldn't capitalize wins properly either. Just something to think about, too.
