Not sure, but we're definitely making it harder than it has to be.

Such an annoying game so far. Just need to clamp down on defense for 5-6 minutes and take care of the ball and pull away but they just aren’t putting in the effort

Brogdon over White in the 4th please. White is a confidence player. If his shots are not falling early it's over.

Too much finese. Gotta play with force around the basket.

After the Bruins historic choke,
it was one for the ages,
I can't take the Celtics being down 0-1 to these Sixers.
This is a game, with no Embiid, they should easily win...

Sixers have 4 turnovers. Great example of the Celtics defensive intensity or lack of it

The Celtics are so mid at home during the Jay era. Filled with so many bad losses. Please don’t make this another one.

Can’t stand smart when he plays bad he does everything bad like in the finals when they would go on massive runs against us. Team needs to settle down and lock in.

It’s disappointing the best we’ve seen from the Celtics was game 1 the first half against the hawks. They haven’t played at that level since especially defensively

Tatum playing soft, euro stepping and dancing to the rim ain’t working. With his size advantage, he should be dunking the ball in their face.

DWhite having a poor game.
No D.
Constant TOV.
JT has cooled off.

Unfortunately bazooka Joe has turned them into a D'antoni team.

On the bright side Jalen McDaniels looks like the worst player to have played tonight.

Best way for a player to come out of a slump is to play Boston's defense
