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

STUPID shot Jaylen.  HOLD THE BALL.  FINAL SHOT.

His offensive IQ sucks. He's been shooting better over the last month, but this fact hasn't changed at all

I disagree.  I WANT Jaylen taking it to the hoop.  He has the advantage in transition, go to the rim.
Embiid with the other worldly block.  It happens.

I'd agree if there hadn't been a player ahead of him on the break, or if we had the last shot in our pocket had he not forced the break.

I don't think he had a passing angle, but he had a path to the rim.  I think if he scores everyone here is like, great play.  But it was the right decision, Embiid just made a great play.

JB is a taller, less explosive (more finesse) Westbrook. Stevens is just trying to wean the bonehead out of him.

That's about as good a look as you are gonna get. I mean Embiid had to goaltend to keep it from going in, so ya. Take that opportunity 100/100 and hope the refs make the right call next time.

Oh yes. I didn't mean this in a disparaging way.

Jaylen needs to drive. Against mismatches especially. That's where he's at his best.

No doubt. Both he and Tatum for that matter are at their best when they are aggressive. That Tatum dunk, and that Brown finish being great examples.

I know he's not playing tonight, but if we're being honest, this Sixers team truly looks like they'd have no answer for Kyrie, unless you think McConnell is.

[nickagneta]

Except for Wanamaker the bench has Benn outstanding on both ends of the court

[Ogaju]

wow, nice bucket by Brown

How he didn't get a foul call is beyond me.  Embiid made significant body contact on that.

Jaylen gets no calls and he drives a lot!

It would  help if his coach spent a T on him one time.

[SparzWizard]

If Hayward really has turned the corner this will be a different team come playoff time. We didn’t make a significant move like the other elite East teams but a healthy Hayward is on par.

Still need a bruiser to back up Horford and Baynes.

If only Smart and Rozier were making their open shots.  Because they've had a ton of them this game.

Smart and Rozier 3-16. That's the starting backcourt.

[jambr380]

It's gotta be time for Embiid to start breathing hard and leaving every shot short. We are in the 4th afterall.

Would have been nice to push that lead higher, but good effort from this Cs team tonight, nonetheless.

yea people in this thread talking about Stevens' coaching being better than before

Hayward is scoring a point a minute!

Having to coach an injured-recovering player is definitely tough.

Now we have a sneak peak of what we'll look like with All-Star Hayward back.

How he didn't get a foul call is beyond me.  Embiid made significant body contact on that.

Jaylen gets no calls and he drives a lot!

It would  help if his coach spent a T on him one time.

Playing him more minutes would help too.

AMEN! ALA POP!

I know he's not playing tonight, but if we're being honest, this Sixers team truly looks like they'd have no answer for Kyrie, unless you think McConnell is.

You can only say that if he can get on the court. Looks like they have an answer for him tonight.

[keevsnick]

So I think this is the first time Hayward has scored more than 19, but less than thirty points.  Of course still time to get to thirty.
