Man, Proactiv really lit a fire under the team with that dumb ejection.

Jimmy at PG is THE FUTURE. I just wished he was 2 years younger because this team isn’t going anywhere without him creating plays.

Not sure if you understood that I was not serious.

Big picture.

Im glad we won this. Im glad we will very unlikely face them in the playoffs. Im glad they change the built of their team by trading for AD. This Celts team is just built to beat us.

Who the hell can have two banger centers on the court at the same time??

So.... Are we officially good in the clutch now? It sure feels like we are winning a ton of these close ones that we used to always lose.

Trading for AD will only help Embiid.

In our matchup they might be worse, but against everyone else they will be better.

Idc how we win these games, as long as we keep on winning.

5 in a row and we essentially locked up the third seed.

But I was told after the playoffs last year that Embiid wasn’t a superstar!!

Yup true. Thats why im just glad this may be the last time we face this team. EVER.

Also have that impression when after the game our guys were friendly over the Celts squad. As if they are telling them “guys its ok.. you are the best team that can beat us out there and we want you to know you did well”

Will check it. Either because of cross matching or Butler hunts him.

Jimmy was hunting the poor Hornets defenders last game

Wow, what an ending. Glad we won, wish there wasn't a caveat (injuries, ejections, etc). Gotta say, Butler did a lot at the end to change my perception of him.

Love what Redick brings to the table, but this offseason we need to look for his replacement as a starter. He can't be such a liability on defense, especially if he's not hitting shots.

Smart should send Embiid a thank you card after the game. The fact that he restrained himself likely literally saved Smart's life. One punch from Embiid would have likely killed him. Smart is soft and when I think of people in sports who can't fight, he's one of the first that come to mind. I hope he's appreciative that not only is Embiid a great player, but he's a life saver.

Although the Celtics are not a very good team, they are able to create better shots than us and much more effortlessly.

The team desperately needs a guard/wing that can create for himself and others in the halfcourt.

Also it is unfortunate but Simmons appears to be a non factor or even a negative against all top teams in the east.
