Unraveling now

[Surferdad]

That offensive foul on JB, just about says it all.  Tied series

[scaryjerry]

Playing like garbage and only down 2.  This philly team really isn't good.

And neither are we

Your shtick is so tiresome. Absent from threads for wins, yet like clockwork you show up in games we underperform.

Haven?t posted much this season here, have moved more to Reddit but couldn?t help myself tonight?hey man I loved this years team, probably my favorite in years but this narrative that has taken over that we are a juggernaut title favorite that the 6ers shouldn?t stand a chance to win a game against has taken all the fun out of it for me.
We have been a scrappy hard playing underdog all year, not some media darling title favorite?this loss was as predictable as they come

[radiohead]

I'm not worried about the series, but man this series going 6 games isn't exactly a confidence boost for our potential playoff run

Philly isn?t a bad team. I actually voted Boston in 6. What?s frustrating is how we?re playing. It?s like we?re just coasting.

[slamtheking]

it's only one game but Joe and these guys better figure out how to play defense in game 3 and send out a search party for someone on the team that can provide some support for the J's.  other than Q, no one else doing squat

[jpotter33]

Is Vuc really better than Garza? Honestly, I don't feel like Garza was ever taken advantage of this much defensively, or this useless offensively.

[celticinorlando]

Good news is there is no chance in hell Philly shoots the 3 this way again.

Bad news is the Cs are just fools gold.

[slamtheking]

well Vuc is playing his way on to another team next season

[Phantom255x]

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

[radiohead]

Good news is there is no chance in hell Philly shoots the 3 this way again.

Bad news is the Cs are just fools gold.

I see us taking game three, and game 4 becomes a dogfight.

Marc Davis...

[Indocelts]

We gave them open looks expecting them to miss the 3s like in game 1. Has been going on for years. Opponents adjust, the Cs don't.

[ozgod]

They lost this with their lackadaisical complacent attitude at the end of the 1st and during the 2nd when they started chucking up bad (airball) shots once they had a lead of 13. They thought Sixers would fold again and stopped playing Celtic basketball. PP in particular had a horrible run chucking up 2 airballs and not passing the ball to open players. Then Joe's tactic of leaving other players open to overhelp on Maxey killed us with Edgecombe making 30 points on 12-20 shooting and PG13 19 pts on 7-13 shooting.

Jaylen also had a terrible game, he picked up Tatum's habit of dribbling the ball for 20 sec and trying to iso into a crowd of 3 defenders and trying to milk a foul and then complaining when he didn't get it.

Deserved loss, maybe this will make them realize this isn't going to be a cakewalk.

[Goldstar88]

Philly is shooting 47% from 3. Frustrating loss, but you
can?t win them all.

[celticinorlando]

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.
