Celtics (35-21) at Sixers (36-20) Game #57 2/12/19

That Rozier play WAS SO predictable!

[bknova]

Actual advice Kobe gave Tatum that he seems to have taken to heart.

“Shoot every time,” he recalls. “Pass if you have to. But if not, shoot it.”

[SCeltic34]

Good half, all things considered.  We're taking care of the ball and the defense has been pretty solid.

No 3rd quarter letdown, please.

[ozgod]

Not a perfect first half execution wise but they’ve come out playing hard and with the right attitude

[Big333223]

All things considered, a good first half. The defense looks solid. The offense... fed off the defense.

[PAOBoston]

Man, would it kill Stevens to call a timeout and run an actually good play? What a travesty. This guy is so afraid to anger his young players he has become a nobody this year.

[cltc5]

Mook and kyrie are right!  The problem are the [dang] kids!  Not a one of them Tatum, Brown, or Rozier for all the accolades they got last year are worth a dam tonight.  When they buy in, this team will be great.  Their chance to shine and turrible.

Can we just cut Rozier now

+14 Rozier

+/- is so dependent on factors outside of one players control that it's pretty useless to compare individual players with it. What's your point?

Half way to the 12 point win

I'm watching tonight. Guaranteed there will be a 3rd qtr meltdown.

[Fierce1]

Nice 1st half by the Cs.

Now let's see if they can follow that up with a better 2nd half.

Rozier needs to step up.

Stats dont mean Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. when the guy sucks.  Might as well wipe your butt with them

[Who]

Tatum has to stop.  Everyone knows when he's going to shoot. Try to take him off the dribble.

Especially when it's 1 on 1 with someone you publicly worked out with a lot during the summer. Ugh.

He worked out with Kobe for what, a few days? I doubt that shaped his entire game coming into the season. It's time to start holding Tatum accountable for his questionable shot selection.

Tatum playing now more like he did when he was at Duke.

[Neurotic Guy]

Unwise play by Terry but nice job by the C's to close out the half.  Sixers are really good.  Embiid is a monster. 

All-star Al is playing tonight!
