Sixers (0-15) at Celtics (7-7) Game #15 11/25/15

[Quetzalcoatl]

On the plus side, this game could help our Nets pick

[Neurotic Guy]

I think Avery hurt his shoulder on that last play!

I thought he was hurt too. 

[YoungOne87]

just one way to sum this up: awful

[GratefulCs]

Well, on the plus side, maybe ainge will speed things up with a trade

[PhoSita]

The turnovers have dried up, and not surprisingly, the offense has dried up too.


The Celts aren't very good right now.  Pretty awful, actually.

Well I thought it would be better to start hunter with Isaiah when smart went down.  Just in terms of size in back court.  We know that Bradley has bad shoulders but is [dang] tough.  He was standing like shoulder dislocated

[Quetzalcoatl]

Man, now the Nets are playing OKC even so far.....

Pretty sure the Sixerd had A half time lead in their last few games.
We still have a good chance .

The C's are intimidated at the rim and in the paint. The two 76er bigs have like 7 blocks. That leaves taking your chances at the 3 point line, where we're really streaky, or contested 2's.
The Celtics are playing like they just met.

This was my point when Smart went down. Even though he was bad on offense, losing him would hurt our defense because our best offense was off turnovers. When we reallocate Smart's minutes, it means giving more minutes to inferior defenders. It doesn't take many poor or average defenders to kill rotations.

Agreed. We could very well take them apart in the second half.

so, this is all a dream right?  RIGHT!?

We can't get stops; thus, we can't get running on the offense, which is where we prevail.

[jpotter33]

I hate to say it, but I am really not a big fan of IT.  He does get hot and there are times I love him, but there is so much cost to his game that I am not sure how much overall benefit we get.  He gives good effort on D but he's too small to be anything more than occasionally effective.  He slices in the lane with abandon and sometimes pulls it off miraculously, but too often he loses control of the ball or his body.    I'd like to see him back in the spark plug role.  Reduced minutes; change of pace player.

Yep, same here. His decision-making is just not starting point guard material.
