2023 East Semifinals | (2) Boston Celtics VS. (3) Philadelphia 76ers (PHI leads 3-2)

[AussieCeltic]

Those who value Tatum over Brown, why is Tatum so bad when it matters the most?

You say this all the time and countless times I showed you he stepped up in the biggest games of the year.

Bucks game 6 last season in the face of elimination
Same with Heat in game 7,
Big game to close Hawks out this year
Also big games to close out Sixers/Raptors in the bubble…

He’s not the problem

Why didn't you mention about the final against the Warriors? Did Tatum do well?

First finals at 24 years of age. He played poorly as plenty of young stars do in finals series under 25 years old - if they get there.

Heck, Lebron James wildly considered top 2 of all time had worse finals at age 26.

At least he got there. Something older superstars should as Embiid/Jokic haven’t even done yet.

What happened, chief?

Who cares

Celtics were down 3-2 last year too and won the series vs bucks.

Doc has blown 2 3-1 series leads, 3-1 not 3-2

Hes blown a few 3-2 series leads as well

Celtics are favored game 6

Philly hasnt and wont be favored in any game this series lol

Its just a script playing out here

Take it how you want

People like you are so weird. Keep moving those goalposts rather than admit you're wrong.

People like this guy are incapable of admitting they are wrong. Full of bluster and smack, but when it blows up in his face what do you get?

Crickets.

Either that or he'll just plow ahead...NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE HE IS WRONG (that is how people roll these days - right?) and keep firing. The only way to deal with posters like him is to simply ignore them if they can't respect the board and keep it 100.

PJ Tucker is the King of the East. 30-14 Career Playoffs record in Eastern Conference, 6-1 in Playoffs Series since 2021. I can see him hounding Butler all game in Conference Finals. It's inevitable that we will have AD versus Embiid in NBA Finals.

Sixers in 6. Tyrese was due a big game and he performed like he should have. Jayson Tatum is a good player but Brown should be taking more shots. Embiid is playing like he should and Harden has been a threat all series long. The Sixers just look like the better more cohesive team.

[jfs1000d]

Celtics are stunned that another team has decided to play hard. Effort. SMH.

Hold on. Celtics are the better team. They lack.

1. A coaching staff
2. Need someone with an edge other than smart. Everyone else is too passive.

congrats philly fans, the defense was swarming and impressive, hardens on a redemption tour. Hope you guys take it now that warriors are cooked and I love jimmy but they aint winning a chip.

[DusterBuster]

If I’m Boston, I’m making PJ Tucker shoot 10+ times next game.

Unlike Marcus Smart, Tucker knows his role and doesn’t try to be someone he’s not by taking 10+ shots.

They lack a superstar alpha. Brown and Tatum also are not yet at the stage of their career to want the championship over getting a supermax.

[robbie84]

Ughhhh gotta give philly credit. This series is coming down to 3 point shots.

Agreed. Embiid wins league mvp and finals mvp, that would put him in some elite company as a true big man.

Brown is young too. And he plays way better in big games.

Not Embiid Jokic?

[76ersForLife]

it was just great to see Embiid getting healthy and back in game shape. That come from behind block on Jaylen Brown showed that Embiid is getting back to his usual self health wise.

Bro. He does not play better in big games. Go find me a close out or elimination game in their careers where he’s played better other than the NBA finals last season.



Brown is also the beneficiary of getting the weaker defensive assignment

They combined for over 70 today. Issue is the Celtics are better than 76ers, but they aren’t roll out the ball better. Boston gave away game 1, and game 4. You have to at least split those row games .

Celtics, should have swept this series already. But, they haven’t.

Well. that has consequences. Just an abysmal effort by Boston.

It is t about alpha this, or alpha that. It is about attention to detail

Boston completely sold out to stop Harden this game. In a way this was Harden's most dominant game this series.
