Under no circumstances should you be giving up 41 points in a quarter..

All that falling down putting a strain on his knee.

They got everything at the rim and wide open 3s. It's not even that they're hot. Mostly great looks.

If anything, Celtics are red got from deep. Hopefully they can figure it out. It would be a shame to lose a game on a road when you made 15 3s in the first half.


Defense in the paint reacts late when the Hawks are able to penetrate the perimeter defense. Happened several times with no adjustments from the Celtics.

Embarrassing to allow 75 points in a half
They better clamp down in the second half

I Never seen it, either.
Scal said that the Record is 75pts. :-?


Scal is wrong. The Heat just gave up 81 points in the first half a few days ago.

EDIT: Maybe the record for the Celtics is 75.

not even convinced the nets can beat them once without embiid. the nets are a bunch of role players playing 2-3 roles above their abilities.

dinshittie is a lead guard and he's more like a 3rd or 4th guard. Bridges is the franchise player & he's a #3 at best. it's just a **** team all around

Still hope they win a couple of games while Embiid's out. Don't want to give the Sixers too much rest especially if this series against the Hawks get extended with the way the team is playing defense.
