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

[celticinorlando]

The volume 3 offense even when the Cs aren't close to making them is something that is not sustainable.

This group are so mentally soft that when they don't fall they quit.

DWhite back to being hot garbage

This is who the team is. They shoot threes, because they've never (even when Tatum is healthy and at his peak) had that truly elite can't be stopped offensive player.

Again, they have ONE guy who can pressure the rim. ONE on the entire team when Tatum is out.

the obvious change to how Philly has fared in this series, other than Embiid's return, is the level of D that Philly plays.  They've been all over the C's before they hit half court to slow them up and the C's aren't getting their usual open shots (and missing them when they do).  The C's aren't pressuring Philly at all.  They get the ball up the court as they please with more than enough time to get into their offense.  C's apparently can't get through Philly screens whereas Philly can draw offensive fouls on C's screens. 

this is on Joe.  C's can't hit shots when they're open but Joe has no variations on offense other than bomb away so they're dying by the 3 under pressure.

Sixers are going to get dog walked by the Knicks.

No way in hell the sixers shoot this well in that series.

Maxey has done a great job of playing through foul trouble. He has played 33 out of 36 minutes.

Again, this is not only wrong in a basketball sense but at a base statistical level. You CAN NOT stop shooting because you miss shots. If you do so you are doomed. You may also lose if you keep shooting, but this team WILL LOSE if they stop shooting them.

Man, Dwhite now 7 for 20 after a really good start.  Back to struggling.

[BringToughnessBack]

Is Embiid done? Give Vuc a few minutes?

Literally same thing last year in the Knicks series. Brunson/KAT had games where they got in foul trouble and the C's never attacked them in the 2nd half. Morons

Garbage defense.. everyone sags off and ball watches its infuriating to watch

There has to be a balance when they are not falling. You have to have a plan B to pivot to.

A chipmunk would've won the title in 2024. That was essentially Manifest Destiny with how that group played together, let alone the path we got.
