Celts getting some humble pie these last few games. Hate to say it but our ball movement was better last year with Cobra and Brogdan . Obviously it’s early, but this offense has been struggling a bit.

Tatum’s fault. It’s his team, he needs to call for the ball instead of literally taking 2 quarters off this game

Sixers are defensively what I thought Boston would be. But we just care about letting them triples flyyyy..

He’s taken 6. Still not enough, but the Sixers don’t want to let him beat them.


He has 1 in the 4th.

They were the harder playing team tonight, which really sucks. They deserve the win.

I'm glad we've reduced our superstar to a role player tonight. Wouldn't be a good idea to get that guy the ball or anything

Celtics are shooting so bad you have to wonder if Philadelphia adjusted the height of the rim ? :noway:

Sixers aren’t respecting anyone on the floor besides Tatum. And he’s not forcing anything, which I wish he would.

This is not working. This is basically the same thing as every other year. We need to make a change.

If only they could fire Mazzulla and trade Brown after this game.
Really bad and disappointing performance.

It's over.
