Celtics (3-2) at 76ers (2-3) Round 1 Game 6 4/30/26

With the line up like that, why didn't Joe put Walsh to guard Maxey instead of White or PP?

game 5 gave them all the momentum

we came back from bucks in 22, hawks and sixers in 23

but this is just bad.

looks like we going 7 games.

see if the can play like game 7 against bucks in 22 and philly in 23 or do we play like we did against heat in 23?

we will see soooooooooooooooon which version shows up at home in game 7

Not sure they will win another game in this series. They inability to put inferior teams away that has plagued them for years is catching up to them.

This performance tonight is so on par for this group.

Are the Sixers inferior?

They were in Game 2 and Game 5 when the Cs gave them life. The Sixers were ready to go on vacation in the 3rd quarter in game 5.

I would suggest that Embid changed the series. But the Celtics support guys - who contributed so much during the season when you can outhustle teams - are struggling when the other team shows up to play. Plus Vuc has been pretty much useless.

If they manage to get through this series they're gonna struggle vs the Knicks too.

If JT and JT don't play like all-NBA players and get at least 3 other players to provide some scoring and defensive help, they're not winning this game or the next.  They're going nowhere if either of the J's underperform or no one else steps up.  This team just does not have the depth of the past few years where they have other players that can step up to fill the gap.

Baylor 3 mins in the first half. Way to go Joe LOL

[Phantom255x]

Embiid is one thing, he's an MVP-caliber player when he's healthy. But Maxey outplaying Tatum and Brown? That can't happen. Maxey is a great player but still

GENIUS COACH!

[celts55]

Well, to be fair, most expected this to maybe be a play in team at best.

[Phantom255x]

This is probably one of the easier paths to the Finals maybe even more so than 2024 from the East, and the C's are blowing it badly

[celticinorlando]

It seems to all be catching up to the Celtics at the worst time.

I guess it was a gap year after all because this team does not look anything like we saw even previously in the series.

The only series that is probably going 7 in the East is going the be this one. What a joke.

Where are Hugo and Baylor? Energy hustle guys. The bench got us here and Joe won't play them. Harper Jr brings it hard but Joe won't play him. Williams is the only center that can match Embiids size and length Williams is 7 foot tall with a 7'6" wingspan. Do something Joe...

I really think they're getting exposed. That said they're still in it. They need a couple of guys not named Tatum and Jaylen to get hot and start making some shots.

Tatum missing bunnies and launching 30 foot bricks, shocker

Of all the players tonight, Tatum is the least person to complain about lol He's doing his job  with 15, 10, and 2 already on 50% shooting.

I guess it was a gao year after all because this team does not look anything like we saw even previously in the series.

C U in bawstin for game 7!

our past history of choking in game 5 has made it tough

bucks 22, hawks 23, sixers 23
