76ers (3-3) at Celtics (3-3) Round 1 Game 7 5/2/26

[ozgod]

Well, we survived without him most of the season so we'll see what happens. I don't want them to die wondering 

[ozgod]

They should know how to play without him at least.

Welp...this season has died within one week.

Cs are going to get blitzed tonight. I don't know how they score any points having to have JB carry them.

Losing Game 2 at home without Embiid has cursed this team.

Can't wait to see Walsh start and do absolutely nothing.

Well Derrick, if there was ever a time to break out of the funk, now would be it

Going to need White and Sam to actually do something. Can't start 4 guys who contribute nothing.

[Who]

I have no idea what to expect from this game. From either team. It is a mystery box.

I am looking forward to it. Hopefully it'll be a good game.

[BringToughnessBack]

We need 3 over 20 and one over 30 and 25 minimum and if White is invisible again, we will need 4 over 20 to win.

If Tatum is out, Brown will need one of his 40 plus nights. Pritchard has to be on fire too if no JT.

Somehow, I see a win. 133 to 107. Call me crazy! 😂

Welp. Tatum is OUT tonight according to Shams

Boston's Jayson Tatum is OUT for Game 7 tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers with a left leg injury.

Not that bothered about JT not playing.

I'd rather have him than not have but I feel other guys will play better when he is not around. The ball will move more and more people will be involved offensively. That will make other guys more comfortable and play better.

[BringToughnessBack]

[dang], no JT. Ok, Brown, its time, 44 points tonight and you need to get rebounds and assists too. PP needs to be huge too.

[Who]

Pritchard should start with JT out.

They need another scorer in the starting lineup. Go back to the Pritchard & D White starting backcourt they were using prior to the trading deadline.

I am more inclined to Hauser or J Walsh at forward over Scheierman. Keep Scheierman in that 1st guard off the bench role. I worry about 3 guards + Jaylen + one big against Philly's lineup. I'd like a bit more size. It would be great if Walsh could make some shots because we need his defense & rebounding at forward now with JT out. Hugo might get some bench minutes in this one now as well. They will need another rebounding forward. A hustle player. To make up for the loss of JT on defense & rebounding. I wouldn't start Hugo because he hasn't played in a while. Bench role.

I just don't see anyone getting over 25 points tonight. JB will try to do way too much and turn it over. He has been awful. Hauser contributes NOTHING. White has fallen off a cliff.

That leaves PP, who Joe seems to forget about. Vuc, Baylor, Hugo, Walsh and Queta aren't scoring more than 10 points.

Going to be ugly.

Really hurts them on defense and rebounding. JT is so much better than Brown in getting other guys involved. Brown is a blackhole on offense.

Agree about starting PP. Play him big minutes tonight. Would be nice to have Simons off the bench instead of the unplayable Vuc.

[BringToughnessBack]

Pritchard should start with JT out.

I agree and Q needs to avoid foul trouble too and Vuc needs to wake up as well.

[celticinorlando]

This time last week Boston was about to go up 3-1 heading home for game 5.

A week later JT is hurt again and the series is just about over. What a hard way for this season to end.

One bright spot was DWhite appeared to have his 3 working last game.  Need a big night from him.
