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

Tatum's supposed calf injury right now feels ominous like the ankle injury he suffered in the first minute of the 2023 ECF Game 7. Even if they manage to win tomorrow, how good will he be for the future round/games. I worry he could be compromised now to a bigger extent, not that he was 100% from his past Achilles tear yet but this could be another lingering issue.

This team if they don't make 3s just mopes and quits. Zero mental fortitude.

JB has been a pumpkin in this series. White has been a rotten pumpkin. Hauser and Vuc do nothing. Waste of space.

If JB and JT aren't on they do not have anyone else to contribute. No Kp or Al or Jrue to save the day.

Brown's game 6 was one of the worst I have seen.

Cs look slow and unathletic. Unfortunately, they look now how we expected them to look this season. Team totally has been exposed.

Why not go to small ball with JT at the 5?

This of course is the concern with him.  They kind of managed his minutes in the regular season, but in the playoffs, you play more minutes and the minutes are more stressful.  I don't doubt that he will be fine and I am not that worried about anything lingering.  I am more worried about just general wearing down, Tatum and Brown.

BOS gave up on game 6 pretty early.  Maybe Tatum goes back in if BOS closes the gap some at the start of the 4th.  But they didn't and it wasn't long before all the starters were out.

A lot now riding on Game 7.

Spot on. Expect you missed one thing. When stuff starts to go bad it?s the coach?s job to make adjustments and try at least try to stem the tide. Joe does none of that. There is no reason for him to be here then. Just horrible coaching.
