76ers (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) Round 2 Game 5 5/9/18

[Surferdad]

Looks like Brad is prepared to let them score inside as long as he can take the three-point line away that’s the only conclusion I can draw from our defense

Brad actually said previously that that was their strategy.  The problem in this game is sixers are hitting 3’s.

Time to get Al back in there, Brad. He's been out too long already.

Semi should be on the floor only if he's tasked with shadowing someone exclusively. There's no one like that to use that on the Sixers. Keep him on the bench until eternity.

[BringToughnessBack]

We need three close quarters and one super strong one.

Sixers have kept our crowd at bay so far. Embiid is on fire.

Come on Celtics- lets turn it up like our lives depended on it.

[Neurotic Guy]

Philly shooting 60% to Boston's 47% and only up 2.  That's fine as long a they cool off at some point.

[GreenEnvy]

Like the energy.

Embiid is lights out right now and a few of their ill-advised shots have fallen. If we keep making them take the shots they’ve been taking, we will be in good shape.

[BudweiserCeltic]

[dang], Tatum now hurt.

Embiid will be running on fumes by the 4th quarter.

[Beat LA]

I like that offensive set with Tatum in the post.  can go over or around pretty much any of the Sixers

Ayyyyyyyy .

You don't need to shadow Simmons.

[jpotter33]

How the eff is that not a travel on Simmons?? Good Lord, refs.
