Celtics (5-1) at 76ers (5-1) Game #7 11/8/23

[SCeltic34]

76ers crapping the bed.  What a shot by JB

[hpantazo]

Unbelievable that we have a shot to send this OT right now

[CelticSooner]

The days of slapping around Philly are over unfortunately. They have an actual coach now and appear to be playing as a team.

[Who]

Wow, can't believe they have a chance to tie this here.

[Neurotic Guy]

 JB with the 3 and the block. 

[Silas]

Seen this movie before...need a 3 to tie.

[jpotter33]

Brown finally decided to show up, though probably too little too late.

[SCeltic34]

On the positive, we've shown so far that we're a good 4th quarter team.

[radiohead]

Wow. Good timeout Joe.

[Goldstar88]

Great timeout, Joe! Excellent!

I should be used to it, but honestly it’s like people here have never been through an NBA season. Terrible shooting this half - just terrible. It means zero in terms of telling us what this team will be this year.  Two road losses v. very good teams. No conclusions from me - they might be ‘OK’ as someone said above or they might be a contender. Let’s see what happens next time v. Philly.

People always have trouble dealing with a loss 

As terrible as tomight has been it’s just one game. Im waiting till end of December before passing judgment in the season. I’m happy to pass judgment on tonight’s effort though 

But it's not just the losses; it's how we're losing them. Between the Minny game and tonight, several of our awful habits from last year are creeping back up.

Poor end of game decision-making (from players and coaching) cost us the game in Minny, and we have no identifiable offense when our threes aren't falling tonight. These were the two biggest issues we had last year, and even with a substantially better roster, we're still suffering from these issues.

That's what we're freaking out about.

I get it, that’s why I said I’m happy to pass judgment on this game. I’m not prepared to extrapolate the performance to the rest of the season yet though.

Brown with the 3 and then with the block on Maxy

[Silas]

Tough loss after a nice comeback. KP had the shot.

[ozgod]

Had our chances, we got a lot closer than I thought we would but left the run too late. They need to look at how they played in the 2nd and 3rd quarter which is where the game was lost

[Goldstar88]

If only we had 1 more timeout…
