Considering this is an artificial postseason, the intensity is good. Hopefully the offense peaks at the right time.

Brown and Tatum carrying us offensively. Only ones who’ve played well so far in my opinion

Theis is the best in the league at that seal screen.

Say what. Sixers have 11 turnovers. Celtics should be up by 15 with 11-1 turnover advantage.

Still the perfect player for us. For the right price. It always came down to price.

He should've retired a Celtic! I'll never forgive Philly for stealing him from us :nonono:

Was this intentional? I love the "7 - 6 ers" as a nickname.

What was he holding? Is that for therapy? I though maybe it's an anti-covid gun.

Boston will win the game by 10+ points.

Their amount of turnovers seems like it should regress to the mean, that's the consolation if you're a Sixers fan.

But so far it seems like part of the reason why there's so many TOs is that they're predictably feeding the ball in. It's not just luck but partly a product of their gameplan.

If they want to win, they need to run more action at the perimeter and make our guys work. Not pack in around the key like this.

That was my intent. Glad someone got it!

Philly with 10 turnovers already. This is how we're going to beat them. Frustrate them to no end

Sixers have this guy named Embiid. He's pretty good. Maybe you've heard of him.

Celtics shot quality so far is amazing. Doesn’t bode well for Philly

Let's see if the 76ers go back to pure Embiid on offense.

If not then it's time to point fingers at Embiid. It's the second **** quarter, he can't be gassed already.

Embiid is already huffing and puffing as our great Tommy H would say. Dude looks like he just ran a marathon.

themoneyteam2 · Post #499 » by **themoneyteam2** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 11:29 pm

Surprised there have been very few FTs. Embiid averages 10 FTA vs us this year

What a weak touch foul on Tatum.
