76ers (3-3) at Celtics (3-3) Round 2 Game 7 5/14/23

Gotta keep Al on embiid

White and Brogdan have to contribute

[Kuberski33]

This game has been kind of crazy so far. The sequence following the Harden flagrant really changed the momentum.

The ref's have been uneven...to say the least. The C's role players have not showed up, at all. Yet a three point lead.

As Scal pointed out, the opportunity for them to make shots should present itself 2nd half because Doc is likely to focus on trying to limit Tatum. Whether or not they make those shots may be difference in the game.

We are going to need something from Brogdon and White, either some key def plays (D White had one)  or some off production.
They can do it.  White has been a bit gun shy with his great floaters with Embiid in the paint.

Tatum will see a lot of double teams in this half I think so we will need guys like Smart Brogdon White and Horford to hit 3s. A bit concerned that they will be a bit cold after not shooting much the first half. That’s always the concern I have when a star player has a great first half. But let’s see I have faith they seemed to wake up and Horford coming out of that half with only two fouls was really big! Actually thought that was a good move by Joe there although agree that Grant should have came in instead. Will need him to be fully aggressive this second half.

Yep, expect to see double teams for JT every non-fastbreak possession. Role players are simply going to have to make their shots. I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen it yet.

GWill needs to play a few minutes. Embiid is just gonna take advantage of the Smart matchup

[Vermont Green]

The one time I remember them doubling Tatum smart got an easy basket. I wonder how they will play it in the second half. I suspect more doubles. It might be time to put grant in and have him hang in the corner.

[SCeltic34]

Keep attacking Embiid.  Make him play D.  He'll tire out.

[keevsnick]

After a hot shooting start from phili the 3's have stabilized a bit. 5-16 from Phili, 5-13 from boston.

Would like to see the c's generate more threes.

[SparzWizard]

Got the halftime lead, but we need to capitalize and do better in the 2nd half. Im nervous

[hpantazo]

I bet Brown's tech gets rescinded after the game. Not that it makes much of a difference though.

[SCeltic34]

Cheating way too far off the corners

[jpotter33]

Why are you helping so far off of Harris in the corner, Timelord?! He's not PJ Tucker!

[jpotter33]

Too slow. Don't like it. Got to pick up the pace.

[jpotter33]

Why are we going so slow??

[SCeltic34]

LETS GO JT
