76ers (33-26) at Celtics (39-20) Game #60 3/1/26

Baylor was a 40% shooter from 3 in college, going out as the most closely watched shooter on that Creighton team. He's just having a poor run.

His defense makes him a serious trade asset.

Baylor came into the game tonight at 38% from 3.

Yeah, last 4 games have been bleak. When people say "Baylor is shooting too much", I just categorically disagree. He should always shoot when open more than 4 feet.

He has a broken thumb. He shouldn?t be shooting 12 times while Pritchard has 4 attempts.

Pritchard didn't have it tonight though, his 4 attempts were all on the perimeter, he didn't try and attack the basket like he usually does. They came prepared for PP defensively as well. If you're open you have to shoot, especially as Scheierman has been shooting 38% from 3 this season. Like you, I wasn't a Baylor fan after his first season, but he's playing more within his limitations this season which is why he's been getting a lot more playing time.

It was like most of our guys where scared to shoot because Philly were playing them close....weird game but I will take the Win.

PHI's primary big was Drummond.  The right game plan was to attack with our bigs.  They did.  Queta with a huge game, but it is also the guys looking for him, aware of the match up advantage.  Vucevic was fine.  He gets his points and rebs but still does not get out to help on the perimeter off screens, which allows guys like Maxey to get shots.

I did not see enough of the game to understand what might have been going on with Pritchard.  The parts I watched, he was dribbling around a lot but not getting shots.  PHI no doubt had made defensive adjustments and the BOS game plan was to feed the bigs.

Celtics just keep rolling along.  Winning games they are supposed to win, which at this point, the expectation is they should win pretty much every game.   They seem ready/prepared every night.  This game exemplifies the whole season.  Quite a season.

Wouldn't it be wise for Baylor to just get the procedure on his fractured thumb. Playoffs are still 7+ weeks away.

He is top of three of Hugo and Jordan Walsh do you think he wants to give that up or risk losing that?

I guess, that still seems a bit excessive playing through a fracture in the regular season. A sprain would be one thing.
