Game Thread – Sixers (11-10) @ Celtics (11-10) – 7:30PM, Wed, Dec. 1, 2021

[Fierce1]

Celts finally beat the Sixers after getting swept by the Sixers, in the regular season, last season.

[Celts17Pride]

This is a gritty, grinding, junkyard team. And I’m ok with that.

Nah we suck bro.

Agree but Philly is worse

[Ill News]

They need to sit Jaylen again. He was clearly grimacing at the end there. They need him back at 100% if they want to fix their offensive struggles.

[Marvel]

Jb is not right, he's wincing.

yeah because he denied the hell out of embiid on that last play. they thought they got an advantage for embiid down there but brown did excellent there.

He still not right. If he was healthy he wouldn't be pulling that face.

[Hal14]

Rob Williams is the BEST 3 point shot blocker of all time!!

is there even a close second.

We have 2 bigs who are really good defensively. Props to rob and Al

[reload141]

Easy win, never in doubt.

[Larry_Russell]

Jaylen aint right.

Can see it in his face at the end there

he was wincing all game, from the first shot he took.

That drive to the hoop early amd he grabbed his leg as he stubbled into crowd under the basket

I was being sarcastic lol, we’re 12-10 despite a ton of injuries. Have the 10th best net rating (non garbage time edition) in the league, and a top 5 defense.

There’s definitely issues, but I’m pretty happy so far.

[Marvel]

So if JB aint right which i think we all agree on why is he playing?

[BRUNiNHO91]

I take it back, Jaylen is definitely hurting bad lol.

You see his face there at the end?

Why are they playing him like this? Dude is a 30ppg assassin and is barely hitting 8 points in these games. Sit the man. Thought he did a fantastic job defensively in the 4th though.

30 may be a stretch lol, but he clearly isn’t right.

His defense was freaking excellent, he’s much quicker on that end. That’s where I think the mental aspect plays into it, because defense you just react, offense is a lot more thinking.

Could be wrong, but wasn't he averaging around 27-28 the day he went down? Either way he is a 30pt threat in any game and looks so bad offensively. Appreciate the effort, specially on those Embiid switches but we need him to heal up..

Celtics just have to find someone who makes shots

He looked much worse tonight than the last few games, I think he re-aggravated it at some point during the game.

I know the Jazz are tough, but you have to sit him Friday night. I wouldn’t even fly him on the road trip, personally. They can tread water without him, and then hopefully he is all good in two weeks.

Think it was 25.6, but this is just me being stupid with semantics lol. He’s absolutely a 30 point threat anytime he’s on the court and healthy.

They should give him the road trip off, IMO.

[Hal14]

So if JB aint right which i think we all agree on why is he playing?

because the training staff knows more than we do.

Ok chief got it.

[Curmudgeon]

They beat a crap team at home by one point thanks to a nice play by Rob Williams. Let's all jump up and down with glee.

[Fencer reregistered]

Stuff happens.

Last season was the first in 20 years that the Sixers went deeper into the playoffs than the Celtics did.

You're killing my buzz! Get lost with your negativity! We won. Let us real fans enjoy the win.

the lowly magic have beaten the knicks...twice! The lowly thunder beat the lakers...twice! the Jazz just lost to the Pelicans.

The Bulls who were just at the top of the east standings, lost to the lowly rockets and got blown out by the lottery bound pacers.

when will you people ever learn? The NBA is more competitive than ever from team 1-30. please stop trying to downplay wins.

Every win is a good win. especially vs a philly team that had the best record in the entire eastern conference last year, made it to game 7 of the eastern conference semi-finals last year, a philly team that is a veteran team with good veteran players - no simmons but Maxey is having a breakout year, went from 8 PPG last yr to 18 PPG this year which is an insane jump.

This is a good win.

To call call philly a crap team is laughable. Embiid is easily a top 10 player in the league, harris is a borderline all-star, some are even saying Maxey could make all-star team this year. lights out shooter in Curry.

We won the game - let us enjoy it - especially since we just lost to the Spurs the other night, jeez.. Any win, we'll take it.

As a Sixers fan, I can confirm that we are indeed crap atm

Nothing against the Celtics whom I personally like but watching us recently has been brutal and nothing will change until Voldemort is back or traded
