Shot poorly, but thought Maxey showed up defensively this game strangely enough.

Really felt they were going to get at least one in Boston, and it had to be this one. Play with house money on Wednesday, and bring back the big fella in Philly.

10/24 FG%, 2/9 3PT%, 50% TS, bad defense.

Yeah way to play both sides of the fence because you did nothing but whine most the game

Harden is here to beat the playoff choker allegations.

Paul also was crucial in that last play rotating to stop the Smart drive.

I'm starting to believe one team is gonna throw stupid money at him

Ok guys enjoy the victory, I will go back to my cave, see y'all in two days!

To those who said Harden did not play D, if he put too much energy on D, his O would suffer. I'd rather him converse his energy when Biid is out.

He played a career high minutes tonight. Smothered Smart at the end without fouling and comes up with the ball. Really curious what his FA market looks like. Would love if they can re-sign him and experiment with him in the Tucker role next to Embiid in the future.

Tatum down the stretch is a myth.

Btw, the league should review all those Smart drives and screens. Those should be illegal.

Not sure why I'm replying to a troll, but he played really good D tonight. Got his hands on a lot of basketballs and led team in +/-

Hopefully we are that team.

FWIW, I think we still need a bigger backup C to play when we are struggling to protect the rim/rebound like we were tonight.

Backup PG, depth at F, and 3rd C are our needs this offseason, win or lose.

Do Celtics fans really believe the players aren't locked in because Embiid isn't there? Lol

Negrodamus · Post #419 » by **Negrodamus** » Tue May 2, 2023 1:59 am

Maxey, strangely enough, looked elite on defense tonight. Love how hard he played.

But he made his shots when it mattered most.
