Game Thread – Celtics @ Sixers – 7:00PM, Wed, Nov. 8, 2023

Tbh if Pritchard struggles continues; I’d turn to Svi instead of Banton first. Pritchard his problem atm is that he’s trying to be a pg while sharing the court with Tatum. I’m sorry but that’s not what we need. Be a floor spacer and tertiary creator of the attention Tatum gets when you’re in with him. Save the pg stuff for garbage time or full bench lineups.

Thats a role Svi is perfect for; I always thought Svi was more of an alternative to Pritchard than hauser tbh

PP is doing way too much. Just stick to catch and shoot threes or threes off screens

The last time Cs played the Sixers, our MVP did this:

Watch on YouTube

I expect him to double that output.

This would have to be the first time a Celtics/Sixers game wasn’t nationally televised since the IT days ?
I get the Wemby appeal but a Warriors/Lakers game would never get a back seat for him so why should Celtics/Sixers ?

(This coming from an Australian if anyone was wondering why I don’t just watch it on NBC Sports)

Very Early Stat to Monitor:
• Jayson ON, Jaylen OFF: +23.4 net rating
• Jaylen ON, Jayson OFF: -15.0 net rating
• Both ON: +21.8 net rating
• Both OFF: (negligible sample)

Cs have 76 games to figure out the non-Tatum minutes. This has been going on for years.

Crunch Time Heroes:
• vs. New York: Porzingis
• vs. Miami: White
• vs. Minnesota: Edwards

Yah, it's not right, as ESPN will air two 3-4 teams over a game with two 5-1 teams. Wemby's viewers already dipped in week 2. Someone in the league exec office didn't realize most fans want to see top players on top teams, and the rookie's appeal will wane quickly when casual fans realize his team just isn't good.

Trust the process LMAO, how about "Who's Your Daddy!?" Fultz over Tatum blahahaha, a gift that keeps on giving!!!!

Pressing that button late works even better with JoJo is predictably gassed. So many things open up later in the game when that happens...

Move the ball. Celtic's ball movement has been trash. Not a problem against bad teams because they have so many elite weapons but against better defenses this will be an issue. It starts with Tatum and Brown, both have been awful in that area so far.

[Green89]

Is D. White back?

[shackles10]

Another basketball practice tonight right when the game starts so I'll miss the beginning of this one, and skipping commercials and pre-game to try to get to live by halftime. The bright side is team is undefeated when we have practice, so maybe we'll just keep practicing into June when the kids on the team have already moved onto baseball season.

Used to be the best way to beat Jokic as well, make him run and attack him late. Now it looks like he stopped living on soda and nicotine though.

Honestly, it’s the best way to watch. Fast forwarding through 30 min of commercials and all the other nonsense and catching up by 4th quarter is my favorite way to watch.
