And that's with playing mainly a fully healthy roster against the bunch of bad teams or teams missing their players..

And that doesn't even mention our defense..

3rd on defense surprisingly during that span.

Are JB and JT literally both injured right now or just taking on too much outside of work or what? As a fan the inconsistent ball is killin' me, Smalls.

Another 3pt brick, while the other team attacks and gets fouled

I **** hate this offensive philosophy. At least have a backup plan if your 3s aren't falling. The backup plan: shoot more 3s. SMFH.

That's just horrible shooting.

Maybe we need to get used to the pattern of WLWL.



No way we settle for the WLWL pattern
We are the most talented team in the NBA
We need to streamroll every G-League team like PHI

This is a disgrace

I agree with everything you said, but this is the reality now.

We are just a WLWL team right now.

There’s no switch for this team either. This teams played more than half of its games and we’ve seen too many performances like this.

These Celtics got a ring last year and now they are no longer hungry.

So what?!
This game is a disgrace
They should be ashamed the way they are playing

We have a full roster
76ers are without their top 10 players
We are the most talented team in the league

Playing dumb and lazy basketball without urgency or fire
If this is the case - play the bench. They need the playing time

We're missing shots at the basket. Al missed a shot at the rim. So did KP.

The offensive philosophy is spacing the floor. Moving the ball, getting good shots and attacking mismatches. It's worked well..we've been one of the top offenses in NBA history under Mazzulla and won the 2024 title.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Guess it will depend on on your tolerance level.

Time will come when you have to turn off the TV when a game that's supposed to be entertaining is becoming a mental health problem.

If this is the reality maybe I should quit until the playoffs

I wake up in the middle of the night to watch this crap (actually losing sleep)
They disrespect us fans with the way they are playing

Hope Brad makes a move to shake things up. This team is not working

Honestly, none of this makes any sense on paper. This team should be better than it was last year for the simple fact that Pritchard is a potential 6th man of the year.

They’re about to lose to a 19-28 Sixers team that has like 10 players out
