13-47 from 3 is just awful, not just the percentage but how many we still attempt...

White's subpar play has been a problem for a significant time now, despite him largely escaping criticism. He needs to step up and be better.

My only worry would be the team sees their 32-point win Sunday and just falls asleep thinking they can take it even if they play around 60-70%. That has burned them in the past, even the 2023 series against the Embiid/Harden Sixers where they ended up splitting the first two, went down 3-2 in the series and went a full 7 games when they really shouldn't have. And they had a blowout win early that series but then played with their food a bit.

I knew they've never changed...always the same complacent Celtics and classic Joe being outcoached by Nick Nurse this time around.

But ofc, I did have Celtics in 6 with the home teams splitting.

Now Game 3 is a must-win game for Boston cuz you don't wanna be down 2-1 as opposed to being up 2-1 lol. And plus, they may likely get Embiid back by Game 4 or 5.

What an all-around miserable game !!
What happened to our ball movement - felt like we just dribbled around the perimeter or into traffic all night.

It can be White stepping up as the #3, it can be Pritchard or Queta or Vuc or Hauser, but it can?t be nobody.  Somebody has to hit shots outside of the Jays.  Nobody else even in double figures.

Philly got the road win they needed.  Celtics have work to do now.

This team when it gets behind in the playoff panics and just keeps taking 3s even when they are not falling. Just turns into hero ball.

Tonight just was what we all were afraid of might happen.

Got it to 2 and then blown out. Goodness. Better figure something out for Friday. Philly has all the momentum now.

Predictable tho. Game 2 choke job once again.

Where did your "Master of Panic" moniker go? Because I think you're earning it back tonight lol

Philly rightfully wanted Boston because of this, a clap back at the C's.

Classic Celtics playoffs underperformance under Mazzula's so called coaching brilliance. 

Our players deserve most of the blame for that embarrassing performance.  But I've come to expect poor playoff performances under Mazulla.  Mustered 97 points with Mazzula ball.

I mean Philly just put it to Boston, took home court and is heading home confident. They def. have the mojo now. I am just tired of the same crap in Game 2s at home. It happens every playoff series.
