PLAYOFFS: Rnd 2, Gm 1 – Sixers (0) @ Celtics (0) – 7:30PM, Mon, May 1, 2023

I think our biggest challenge moving forward in the playoffs is our coach’s lack of experience. Spoelstra and Tibbs are both better coaches than Mazzula.

. I certainly agree, But Boston knew they were hiring somebody with a Lack of experience which will be very frustrating If we get so close and do not win it.

Better not sleep on the sixers even with a 50 percent embiid.

Supposedly, when Embiid is out, everybody else plays better, which is why Philly is 12-5 in games without him.

Yet the +/- story with/without him is rather different.

Kinda believable for a lawyer...

The Sixers start 3 huntable players, but Harden is the most easily breakable.

I say this, but damn does this last series still leave a bad taste.

well, we definitely didn’t make much of a concerted effort to go at Trae specifically with Tatum or Brown, but like you said, they have a lot of poor perimeter defenders that will be starting on Tatum and Brown most likely.

I could see this series going either way, and I have no idea how we’ll guard Embiid (in the sense of coverage) but I think we’ll mostly be okay if we can keep them away from offensive boards.

Yeah, the Celtics haven't really been hunters even when Brad was coaching, but one of those three should always be involved in a play

Beats me. I've pretty much always been an atheist, and it's possible that nobody in my family has been Catholic for many centuries.

My point exactly.

This Celtics team struggles when the opposing team is without one of its stars.

[Shamrock23]

Embiid better play or else Celtics lose. We can’t seem to beat the opposing team without their stars…Celtics are not one of the smartest team in the NBA.

Joe doesn’t talk much about defense, huh?

This Celtics team struggles when the opposing team is without one of its stars.

Have struggled at times where they are expected to win, and performed better when underdogs, or at least in a dogfight.

They need to mature quickly on that, because the chip is there for the taking this year.

[Ben-N1ce]

Embiid no Embiid. They should beat the 76ers in the series.

DeJounte Murray isn’t a star.

They weren’t hiring anyone really though and that’s why I give them a pass in the aspect of not having veteran guys on staff for mazz…most teams already have their coaching staff lined up already by the time he was ready to takeover. If they went into this year with this staff after a legitimate coaching search and hire I’d be pretty pissed

While I still have so many question marks with mazz and I don’t really like his personality- I believe going into next year his staff will look much more experienced. Believe we saw some of that selling going on with stevens and Silas being at our game a week or so ago.

Exactly! Playing down to opponents is stupid! These guys just lost in the finals, and several conf finals already. You would think they would know already. It’s the playoffs already. Stop fooling around. They need to be dead serious and focus on the task at hand. JT will be judged on how he does in this playoffs. He got a pass last year, but this year is different. Just get the job done. No drama, no poor body language. Just play hard.

[FlatearthZorro]

Hopefully win games 1 and 2 and then figure the rest of it out. No letdowns or walking around on the court, pls.

[Celts17Pride]

I’ve been saying it all week, I fully expect Embiid playing Game 1 tonight. No doubt in my mind
