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

[liam]

Called that in 5 and now I'm calling that Cavs series in 7!

[umpacu]

This team is in the Eastern Conference Finals without Kyrie and Hayward, after trading more than half of the previous year's roster. Yeah, we didn't play particularly well, but this is amazing. Simply amazing. I love this team.

This is fun.

[blink]

So proud of this team. If you'd told me a month ago we'd get to the ECF with both Kyrie and Hayward out I would have laughed at you.

It's getting really hard to think of a trade for Tatum or Brown that can be equitable. Every appearance that Ainge went 2 for 2 with those picks, big time.

Yeah leading scorers in a close out game to get to the ECF
Tatum - 25
Brown - 24

That pretty much says everything about how much they have improved.

[CroCorvus]

Amen to that!!!!

Wow, Smart. He makes few dumb plays at the beggining of the fourth, and as usually makes it up big at the end. Big Al also with tha 6:0 run.... Tatum,Brown, T-Ro, maaan I love this team!

Now let's get thoes Cavs!!!

Go C's!!!!

[Neurotic Guy]

I am ecstatic.  Just cannot believe that this shorthanded team just beat the Sixers 4-1.   Sixers will whine -- but truthfully, they should be embarrassed by this.  Sixers will be better next year as will the C's -- who knows which team will ultimately emerge as the better team, but we can remember this as one the Sixers should have won.

Did Embiid really just leave the court without either waiting his guys or talking to C's players?

I've lost a lot of respect for him this series, both from his behavior and his bball IQ

Simmons too...he has a ways to go.

Ben at least showed good sportsmanship at the end.

Yeah, Simmons has flaws in his game but was classy throughout. Embiid is an immature jerk with low bball IQ

6AM here
Absolute happiness

Last prediction I made was last series in clincher so here it is:
Celtics 113- Sixers 102


Just saying—- both celtics predictions in deciding games, one point off...a bit wrong from Philly...but in the end, we are going to our third round!!! unreal...optimism wins out tonight!!!!

Second prediction, both 1 point off for Celtics!!! A bit wrong with Sixers but trust  this, we are onto to thw 3rd round. Dare to dream, dare to believe...I love this team, love our fans, even the one’s where the sky is falling 😁

Did Embiid really just leave the court without either waiting his guys or talking to C's players?

yes but i am ok with it


I was glad KG and RR did it in 2012 at miami

They were accomplished veterans playing against the best player in the World. Maybe they didn't mean that, but it was a compliment to Lebron.

Embiid is a talk-too-much cry baby who was supposed to be a superstar in this league but could not do much yet and that has been eliminated by a bunch of yougsters that by the beggining of preseason were supposed to be bench players

[Atzar]

Embiid didn't shake hands lol.

too fragile!

Big man, lil punk..

He got fouled on his last attempt. Refs were on the C's side tonight it looks like.

Tatum was fouled on his layup on the possession prior.  It was a foulfest for the entire game and then they put the whistles away in the last couple of minutes like they do in almost every close game.

[KGs Knee]

Tatum and Brown aren't the future, they're the present.
