Not a fan of how they're calling this one so far. Hopefully they ease up on the whistles.

I'd love to see Kemba get a layup to get started and settle in.

Edit: thank you
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

If Theis is afraid to shoot that shot then take him out of the game

Zach Zarba always has a quick whistle.

Celtics have to run at every opportunity. It will always be 5 on 4 because Embiid won’t run back

Jaylen needs to hunt for his shots. Tire Horford and Embiid out.

Our bench may be shallow, but we don't have a clear best player like they do with Embiid. If we keep pace with them in his minutes, we should have them when he sits.

Theis needs to start shooting threes. Make Embiid respect him.

Might want to at least make Embiid work to wear him down.
