JT earned those techs.

In the last two Celtic possessions, they got to the line on a JB elbow to Bev's face and Jrue getting cleanly stripped


Did Beverly not deserve techs for his reactions all game?

Refs should be consistent, but this is that same dude who ejected Tatum from a preseason game, so.

Link me to the specific reactions you're talking about and I'll let you know. :dontknow:

I can't say I've been paying much attention to Pat Bev on dead balls

Right guy initiated our I in key sequence, DWhite - player of the game, but would not have worked w/o Holiday awareness and PP movement, IMAGINE MOVEMENT

Otherwise woulda been a JT iso 3

Take away the 3 and make it a 3 possession game.

He also didnt go all hero ball on us in the 4th and that might have been the best stat of this game for us!

I was worried. he actually just minded his business while the players playing well did the thang!

That was a predetermined foul by JB to ice the game, good coaching (don’t say that often)

Solid game for Pritchard.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Joe pushed the right buttons in this game.

Also take away credit for the absurd Kornet stint! :lol:

Clearly this is not last season's Celtics because Cs would've lost this game when JT got ejected.

Refs uneven Kobe Melton and Rat Beverly hitting everything

You’re the only one then lol, this whole board was calling for multiple techs on him.

I don’t think expecting refs to call techs evenly is a tough ask.

JB had an awful game, but down the stretch his defense made a difference. I also thought the team ball in the last 2 minutes was resfreshing as opposed to give to Tatum and get out of the way. Of course 9/10 times….giving it to Tatum is going to work best.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Yeah, it's a great win, no doubt about that.

But this shouldn't even be this close without Embiid and Maxey.

What's worse is JT lost his cool and got ejected.
