12 minutes is a long time for these Celtics. Don’t play the scoreboard. Keep running it down their throats. Dunno what “it” is!

My stream is a couple minutes late, but Oh, hell yes. What a quarter.

Officially gonna take Tatum’s 7 point as a positive because of how dominant the Celtics can look even when he’s struggling. You just know he’s gonna bring it in Philly. The question is will the Celtics play this hard defensively? Everything starts with defense, 99% of the discussion should be about defense. We know this team can score but the defense is the difference from winning it all or a disappointing exit.

This is a shellacking. I'm afraid to check the three-point disparity, I'm scared for Philly lol

I mean, all teams gotta do against us is keep playing and they'll dwindle the lead down pretty quickly. Philly might quit though.

Celtics actually match up so much better with them when Embiid plays.

Thank god White’s shots are back. We need his offense to make it harder for the opponents.

Brog + White are 8-13 from 3!
Picking up for Jayson.

Sixers have slowed the game down a ton with him.

I mean he’s incredible and makes up for it, but it’s all halfcourt offense against a defense that is locked in.

Celtics outside of Horford finally started making the open ones. White and Brogdon are hard carrying right now

That's called the championship quarter for a reason. Clearly a completely different attitude to the last game.

either Reggie or Harlan called him 6'3" in the 1st quarter
I'm very happy with what Grant's giving them tonight, and would happily offer him $12M per this summer
