76ers (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Round 2 Game 2 5/3/18

Barkley still gives us no credit

Screw Barkley

Why doesn't Barkley answer his phone?


No ring.

LOL took me a minute.

All of that without Tatum on the floor.

I hate to say it, but I wonder if Tatum has the combination of strength and "stones" to play in crunch time against a physical team like Philly. Until he gets some more muscle/weight on him, I think he'll continue to struggle in these tightly contested physical games like this.

[BlastFromThePast]

So, someone want to explain to me why Brown didn't call a timeout there? lol Good Lord, are all of the really good coaches lacking in that area? I don't understand it.

He's a New Englander.  We know who he's rooting for.

To be fair, CBS let some games get out of control during the regular season by not using TO's either. 

Seasoned HC's like Pops, Phil Jackson, etc. always shut down runs after a 6-0 run regardless of whether they're on top or losing.

Unbelievable they are within six after that

[jpotter33]

CELTIC PRIDE MY GOD! 

Ignited by Smart.  THAT's why he's the heart and soul of this team.  He does whatever it takes to win and positively inspires the guys around him.

TP. Dude's energy is just infectious.

He is so salty lol.

TBH it's not just him though. Pretty much all the national media has downplayed our players.

Simmons is God's Gift to Basketball and yet he looks visibly intimidated by Marcus Smart.

Maybe that means Smart is pretty good, no?

[Phantom255x]

We still have to come out and make a run IMHO. Can't let them settle in again to start the 3rd. I don't think Reddick will stay that hot so long as we harass him.

[CelticsElite]

Anyone notice simmons is nonexistent on defense and isn't rebounding? He's like hiding or something lol

[Celtic Fan Forever]

I give credit to Moose. He didn't put up the numbers but he came in and played hard. I loved that hard foul on Embiid.

This. Would love to see him get some of Baynes’s minutes in the second half

The guys on the team know that Smart will run thru a brick wall, scale it with a hook and ladder or dig a tunnel underneath if that's what it takes to win.

Fortunately, Danny does too and how much Smart means to THIS team.   

[Neurotic Guy]

Brown looking a bit rusty early on but has some how slowly getting his mojo back.

the team must keep up the pressure in the second half.

keep the energy up  guys!!!!!

I just hope he survives the night without re-tweaking. 

[SparzWizard]

Last I check the score was 51-31 76ers lead.

Surprised the Celtics cut it to 56-51 at the half. Knew they were gonna somehow get blown out in Game 2.

[PAOBoston]

Need to come out with that same energy to start the 3rd. Worries they expanded a lot of juice to get back.

[kraidstar]

I give credit to Moose. He didn't put up the numbers but he came in and played hard. I loved that hard foul on Embiid.

He was great. IMO he was almost as important as Smart during that run.

Seems like Embiid is a lot less effective and aggressive against guys his own size.
