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

[cltc5]

Go get us a point guard and center

[Neurotic Guy]

Got multiple stops in the last 5 minutes and these idiots just chucked dumb 3 after dumb 3 instead of taking advantage of the bonus

Missed chance after chance.  A couple of those threes were wide open.  But anyway - this is high up there in terms of disappointing end to a season.  I loved the team this year and though I didn?t see them having l my much of a chance v OKC I would have loved to have seen them in the finals.  But not even out of the first round puts a huge damper on what was a blast of a season.  I am pretty sad.

I give Philly credit, they could have easily folded after Game 4 and didn't.

Celtics choked hard. It's on them. ZERO excuses. This philosophy isn't working and the roster needs upgrades. Doesn't matter Tatum didn't play tonight, they still lost Games 5 + 6 with him too

[Csfan1984]

Choked badly. The series and the last 3 Minutes. They got no clutch ability. That goes for Tatum too who basically pulled a Kyrie today.

[SCeltic34]

Lol well I take it back. If that's the ATO that Joe draws up, I guess there's no point in taking a timeout anyways.

Just send him back to the second row already. Three out of four years he has now failed to get this team to meet expectations. What an absolute joke.

His ATO plays the entire series were complete garbage.  Doc Rivers would take him to school (who actually was pretty good at ATOs)

[Who]

Jaylen scoreless in the last 5min.

Still, a great effort by him in the 2nd half to pull the C's within shooting distance of getting this win. 20 huge 2nd half points. Defended Embiid. Took the challenge. Gave the team energy. Made big buckets. Unfortunately ran out of steam at the end.

[Billz401]

Gotta get rid of DWhite and Hauser in the summer for sure. Completely crapped their pants in the playoffs

[celticinorlando]

Philly was ready quit down 13 in game 5 and boston let them off the hook.

[Indocelts]

There is a big different between an easy two or an open wide three in crunch time. Always take the easy two.

[Phantom255x]

I thought there was a chance we lost to NY in the 2nd round or DET/CLE in the ECF. But boy, to go down in the very first round is a massive fail. Sorry. I don't care JT missed most of the year and it was a "gap year", they choked badly

Reminded me of Game 4 of the 2022 Finals. Blew that half and the rest of the series went downhill. Except we were only up 2-1 and not 3-1.

Now the Celtics will be the butt of 3-1 jokes
