Game Thread: Sixers (34-16) @ Celtics (25-25) – 7:30PM, Tues. 04-06-21

Either Embiid is tired or he's legit afraid of Tacko.

Last time Embiid played against Tacko he did the same thing. Shot from the outside and refused to go inside against Tacko

Ya I’m sure an mvp candidate is scared of tacko fall

Sixers team had a major issue last year with shooting and they addressed it with green and curry. They somehow got rid of Horford ans rhat horrendous contract as well. Philly really did a good job improving their team in the off-season and it shows.

Game went to **** when we scored 2 points in a 6 minute stretch

[Wes-J]

Where are you Jayson Tatum?

[CeltsFlow]

If Tatum explodes in the third like last game, we can turn it around

[Festurs]

Tatum and brown need to score to be effective. They don’t do much else well.

[Ben-N1ce]

Game went to **** when we scored 2 points in a 6 minute stretch

They turned over the ball like 6 times in 8 possessions

[Kalela]

Game went to **** when they doubled Embiid. Let that big bitch score his 2 pts over letting Green score 12 in like 2 minutes. His first three was literally because Kemba doubled off him. Like give me a break man. That's just dumb.

You can barely call those half-assed attempts doubling. If they actually doubled they could have at least forced Embiid into one turnover.

This strategy worked in the playoffs. Team has gone stupid since the bubble ended

It literally happens every single game when they play a competent team

[Hal14]

I don't understand why are ball movement comes and goes. Move the damn ball, make the extra pass. And take the ball to the basket. Awful half of basketball.

And, Danny Green with 14 pts? Give me a break. He isn't even good.

He's good at one thing - spotting up for 3's. We're making it too easy for him to do his one thing.

[JimmyFromNz]

Dodged a bullet with Embiid resorting to bad habits in the final 3 minutes.

Positives, well would have been a it easier to focus on if they hadn't had that final run. Individually Jaylen has provided some much needed spark, but overall everyone has been patchy.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

Kemba can’t even beat Seth Curry of the dribble anymore

Just stating facts

[SLCceltic]

we had a 3min lapse in D, taking care of the ball, and committment to offensive principles

other than this we are playing pretty well, syphillys' D is very good...

It worked in the playoffs because the sixers didn't have anybody that could shoot. If the Celtics continue to double embiid they're going to lose by 30.

I'm still not convinced he's the answer to Embiid, but if he forces Embiid to shoot from outside I'll take it. Embiid might just be fatigued a little there and decided to just hoist up some threes.

[Celticfan_N_FL]

This team just panics when they get down against good teams. It was rare the last 3-4 years to see but it's now typical of this group.

Did we play like 12 guys?? Unbelievable Brad.

[CeltsFlow]

Maybe rest Kemba the second half and have him play against the Knicks
