Maxey averaged 29 without Embiid. I know he’s a gunner but that’s a higher number than expected

I would have been surprised if embiid played tonight. Not sure why some people were so convinced he would. That was a bad injury.

Celtics wings size gives Maxey fits. Maxey can have a good night but I don't think he can go off in my opinion.

All the “Doc playing mind game” takes were kind of hilarious, can’t lie.

Godamn can this team have a killer instinct for once? If Embiid doesnt play tonight, Celtics should destroy them. Tatum should stop playing like Deuce.

Just don't foul Harden on those stepbacks please...

This obviously should be a blowout but this is the Celtics we’re talking about unfortunately. Hopefully they come in on a mission and see they have a great path to the finals and don’t have to play 6-7 games every series to get it done

You can say what you want about Doc as a coach but he’s always been a class act and even after leaving the Celtics he still has a lot of love for Boston.

For sure. Without question he's just a good dude. Nothing but love for Doc

This board is already whining, toughen up little babies.

We're going to come out hard and focused. I expect a comfortable double digit win.

Celts17Pride · Post #178 » by **Celts17Pride** » Mon May 1, 2023 11:22 pm

Keep Harden, Maxey and Harris to 70 points or under and the Celtics will be fine.

I thought the same exact same game 5 against Atlanta. That's exactly what they did for the first 4 minutes of the game lol

Don't waste this clear & present opportunity. Draw first blood. Assert dominance over that team.
