It was certainly dumb. They were down 2. If embiid hits oh well. You get last shot.

And yeah if you really want to get into it Tatum 100% pushed off on that 3-pointer he hit. Should have absolutely been an offensive foul.

I wonder if that's on the L2M report. Looks pretty egregious, but in fairness I didn't see it live and it's so zoomed in you can't tell if this video is even the correct play. Wouldn't be the first time we believed everything we read on the internet.

Tatum can't have as many rebounds as everyone on the team combined minus Brogdon. That's inexcusable. Everybody talking about how we need to push the ball and score quickly but we can't do that when we don't secure the rebound and when we do, 50% of the time it's our leading scorer who's grabbing the defensive board. We absolutely have to get bigger and push Tatum back out to 3.

Ticky tack stuff? Huh? He picks up his dribble THEN moves his pivot foot THEN passes the ball. That's a travel at any level, at any time of the game.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

And if you want to get into that, Harden does that on 75% of his looks, Embiid too.

No way that travel gets called, but playing that game is disingenuous.

Hey I'm all for calling every single push off if that's the case then Philly would struggle to score 80.

But regardless these calls tend to even out and that travel was hardly the reason why Boston lost.

If i was the Celtics, i would honestly be encouraged. The sixers have barely won 2 games where Harden played out of his mind. If Celtics stop making mistakes (Brown double team, slow offense, stupid turnovers), they have this series wrapped up in 6.

Let's remember we suck at 2 for 1s and everyone hates it when we do it.

Celtics fans are not discouraged, we know the Celtics are the better team and will most likely win the series. Just frustrated with the mistakes and lack of execution.

If the Celtics missed and Philly got the rebound then you foul and at worst Philly goes up by 3. You would have 5-7 seconds to shoot a 3 and tie the game.

This is common sense. Coaching 101.

The Celtics are not going to stop making big mistakes.

We may win it all.

We may lose this series or the next.

But the big mistakes will continue. This is who we are.

Yeah you don't play for the last shot unless it's tied. When you're down 1, you go immediately.

Why was Tatum on Embiid though? Does Jaylen double if Horford was there instead of Tatum? I don’t remember how JT got that matchup, but I couldn’t believe it when I ssaw it.

So dumb playing 4D chess. Or trying to. What are they going to do? Sub Maxey for Melton? Melton is a bit better defensively but who cares.

Marcus, JT, Jaylen and Joe all contributed their fair share to this loss. Just no discipline or direction from these guys in these situations

It was by design. Joe wanted Horford as the help defender.

Horford was there, as the help defender. He was keeping an eye on the passing lane to Tucker because unlike Jaylen Brown he was aware of the clock and the scoreboard.
