76ers (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 1 Game 1 4/19/26

[celticinorlando]

Sixers being kept in the game by FTs and lucky pull ups.

and being allowed to be really handsy on defense.  a lot of grabbing, holding and pushing going uncalled on them

Watched Edgecomb literally holding PP by the jersey as he tried to stay with him and no call.

Glad the Celtics are so good so deep into the end of bench guys because the way these refs are going both teams will have their top 7 rotation players foul out

Scott Foster loves to blow...

he thinks that proves he doesn't just suck. 

Did you guys see the clip of him getting mad at a mic operator and telling him to "do his job" in the first quarter? 

What a jerk...

Last time I heard that vs the Sixers they won game 1 in 2023. Boston needs to set the tone in the second half.

[slamtheking]

C's 6-18 from 3 isn't great nor giving up 10 offensive boards in just the 1st half.  thrilled they're ahead but they're lucky to be that far ahead

[celticinorlando]

Cs can't rebound because every time they go up and try for on they get called for a foul.

[Phantom255x]

The Sixers without Embiid are kind of like the Rockets. Offense is a struggle for them and setting plays. A lot of individual dribbling, passing to guys who are defended and just relying on making tough shots. Both teams have very talented individual players like Maxey, Sengun, etc. but it's not enough against other great teams

[celticinorlando]

First 5-8 minutes of this third quarter are going to loom large. Cs cannot afford to give the Sixers any life.

[Billz401]

Im cool with Garza being the 2nd big at this point. Vooch has butterfingers and terrible rebounding positioning and isnt making up for it on the offensive end

[slamtheking]

White more aggressive on offense.  I like him drawing fouls early in the quarter

[Phantom255x]

LET THE BUFFALO ROAM

[Phantom255x]

I didn't realize you can just cry to an official and they'll change the call for you

Meanwhile if a Celtics player did it I'm sure they'd get a technical 

[slamtheking]

forearm on Tatum should be a foul.  of course refs have to give Philly every break, even make some of them up

[slamtheking]

Hauser gets tackled and no foul.  the fix is in.  what's the spread?

[Billz401]

Trash refs calling every little thing for philly but letting them smack us all game. I cant stand this league
