Celtics (23-21) at Sixers (6-38) Game #45 1/24/16

[Neurotic Guy]

Posssibility for 4 guys over 20.   I bet it's been a long time since that's happened for the C's.

It's heartening to see that Smart can score against this opponent, at least.

who cant? 

David Lee and Evan Turner

ha, ha...good one. tp for you sir.

[BitterJim]

WE HAVE A GAME TOMORROW. No excuse if we're up 30 and the rookies only get 50 seconds at the end again.

For real, if Brad can't get at least a quarter worth of playing time for Rozier and Hunter in a blowout against the Sixers, then it's never gonna happen.

Are they both active?

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

OT: did you guys see David Lee so frustrated a practice yesterday? He was so mad he couldn't make a bucket against KO or Zeller. Poor guy must be thinking, "I can't even score when guys are just half-heartedly playing D!" He was soooo mad.

Link?

There is another angle of him on a practice report haha. He's upset.

I'm actually kind of scared now of when we're actually a good team three years later and Brad is running Ben Simmons and Kevin Durant to the ground by giving them 82 starts at 36mpg.

You're scared of this wonderful scenario in which the Celts have Durant AND Simmons?

[CelticsBR]

Every single Celtics player has at least a steal!

To the extent that one can be concerned about a team with Durant and Simmons coached by Brad Stevens, yes.

Let's be fair he did drop 20 on Dallas. I think his offensive game is starting to come along, he's actually taking what the d gives him and is scoring in a variety of ways unlike last season. The 3 will drop eventually but this is the type of offense that will allow him to average 15+ at some point in his career

Agreed ....everytimemthe guy makes progress .....he gets injured .....that summer league finger deal was brutal ....he was in fantastic shape ......if the guy can just play 25 games and stay healthy ......we ll see huge growth .    Everybody forgets how AB struggled with injury after injury , for so long.

[Surferdad]

That sequence by Turner is just so typical of him. He make a great dribble drive to the basket for the easy bucket, but then fouls the guy shooting the 3 on the next play.

hi guys justwokeup to watch the closing of the game

are things as easy as expected?

[BudweiserCeltic]

Call a time out.

[Chief]

Put in the rookies. This is pointless.

[celticsclay]

Stauskas is lowering his 35% shooting percentage this game

[oldtype]

If Rozier, Hunter, and Young are so bad that they do not merit minutes in this situation, then we just flat-out made bad picks. There's no way around it.

for a second i thought carlos boozer grew a beard and joined the sixers lol
