Horford is old and Rob is permahobbled. Should'nt have wasted all those mid FRPs on busts!

Turnovers are ultimately what's going to kill them. Boston has 10 philly only has two

Anyone on the Celtics interested in playing any defense tonight?

How about rebounding?

Pathetic game by the Celtics. Only Tatum, Brogdon, and Rob have looked good.


Coach Joe riding the cold hand in White and Horford.


Meanwhile Brogdon and Rob play limited minutes on days they are performing way better. Mazzulla just doesn’t get it. Not a good coach at all.

The thing that irks me is that we will see the real defense when there is like 5 minutes left in the game. But it’s risky playing that way...

No one to blame for not having a 20 point lead here except Mazzulla. Tatum was a monster, the refs are a non factor and you have them without Embiid at home.

This guy truly **** sucks

shot attempts: 57 - 44

Difficult to win like this. Brown has 4 turnovers, Sixers 2.

He's not bad for a rookie head coach, but that's just not what we need right now.

The defense is so bad the TO's are mostly irrelevant.

You’re gonna see harden, maxey, or Harris go off because the Celtics gave them too much confidence by that point

Defense? If wE lose this series, not because of Embiid or Harden. Now you just gave Sixers confidence just like you gave Atlanta.

Disturbing. You knew we weren't going to shoot it like in the first half. These dudes need to guard their **** yard if they expect to win.

Celtics -18 in DWhite's minutes. +15 in Brogdon's.

This suggests they're about flat in the 7 minutes both played, and hugely up in the 9 minutes Brogdon played w/o White.

Smart is such a dumbass at times. You have Tatum open yet give it to brown there not to mention the turnover in the previous possession.

Turnover out of the timeout. Nice.
