Oh yeah we got thoroughly out classed in this one. Oof.

Will we break 100 this game?

Getting Nick Nurse was huge for them.

Maxey made more of an impact on Sixers offense than any of our guys did on ours.

Also, hard to win when you miss open shots.

I hope Brad wises up and gets this team a decent coach before the playoffs start.

Game over. Anybody expecting otherwise with the way the Celtics are playing are deluding themselves. Nobody except Zinger can hit a shot and on the other end nobody even tries on defense.

Every good coach exploits us and plays this angle. They limit Tatum's offense, especially late. He has 1 shot this quarter. Bravo, Nick Nurse.

Would help if his teammates could hit some shots.

Philly is just sending bodies his way anytime he gets the ball. He has no choice but to give it up.

Not going to sweat the losses all that much, just need to get through the reg season healthy and a top 3ish seed. Homecourt doesn’t matter that much to us.

11 Less Rebounds and 3 more Turnovers with 3:44 to go is not the way you win a game, especially if the Celtics are shooting 28% from 3 and 37% overall.

Not surprising. Road game. Just a bad shooting night.

Another game where inability to get to rim had us shooting 3s. Really miss Grant’s shooting. Hauser, but he gets exposed.

Instead of whining b whining about a game or two, we do have holes at guard off the bench. PP, I like, but he is unplayable right now.

Because he sent Pritchard's weakass joke of a layup back without making illegal contact.

XXXX nope thanks for playing though

No rim pressure at all by the Jays.

This would probably be close right now if Doc was still there. :nod:

Tatum’s fault. It’s his team, he needs to call for the ball instead of literally taking 2 quarters off this game

Hmhm. Should have just sat him if he wanted a night off.

This is silly lol. He has like 15 boards and probably 12+ potential assists. Has worked really hard defensively.

Sixers just are selling out on him, and both he’s not forcing anything, and other guys aren’t making the Sixers pay.
