Celtics can win 3 games in Philly. It's all about how the Celtics play. Celtics are the more talented team. Will they give the effort and execute on offense and defense? That's the question.

Ok I’ve calmed down and looking forward to tomorrow and getting back on track. But what in the HELL is wrong with this team???? Go look at last years playoff run. They were tipping balls, clogging lanes. None of that this year. In like 4 games they won by plus 30 points. Nothing near that this year. They lay an egg tomorrow and it’s over.

Mazzulla said that they have def DNA and they always played hard. But he said we are at our best when we managing games with our offense.
I live in another world cause the last 5 games we have 122 DRTG the worst of every team in the playoff.
In RS we had 111 more or less

They will in spurts. Enough to overcome a 0-2 deficit against a really good team? Not likely. Hopefully this scenario will be irrelevant though and they just win game 2.

I imagine Embiid Will be back Game 3. Honestly. It could be a blessing. I don’t see how he will be moving well. Then again, we are so bad defensively he will still punish us on that end.

Celtics are trying their best to give embiid extra time to rest. Blew a game against the hawks and lost game 1 against the sixers. You're welcome embiid. I still say he is done for the year as far as being anywhere near his peak level.

Why don't you preach some defense while you're at it too.


Lol, Joe said there's nothing wrong with the offense and defense is fine. If they're open, just jack up 3's . Who cares about if we have a play or not...just keep passing the ball until someone is free to shoot. This year is wasted imo.

He didn't try to block a Sixer player from making a running tear drop shot. Rob just backed away while the player was driving forward. I have no idea why he didn't try to jump and block the shot, its just weird cause he usually try to block everything that comes his way...not this time. Maybe this "no defense" thing is contagious.

They're trying to save Embiid for the upcoming match against Miami. They gained confidence and don't respect us anymore.

We should still win this series, not convinced healthy Embiid is coming.

Celtics favored by 9 points so I guess they are OK.

Yes. That. Al should just spell him to give him rests. He's feeling good and good things happen when he's on the court.

Must win game. Very curious what kind of “adjustments” Mazzulla does tomorrow.
