Game Thread – Celtics @ Sixers – 6:00PM, Sun, Feb. 2, 2025

[ConstableGeneva]

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.

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

Being 3rd on defense during that span just means we're more inconsistent than terrible. Defense has been okay tonight. It's our offense that's sorely lacking -- hitting just 1/3 of our shots, 26% from 3.

Celtics have become the digital version of melatonin...

[ConstableGeneva]

Can't take this team serious this regular season.

Brad can't watch the past two months and be okay with what's happening.

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

Bringing back essentially the same team that won the title should've made us stronger. It's only Horford that's no longer spry in that rotation. We've been mostly healthy during this stretch that we've struggled so injuries are more of an excuse for teams we've faced.

We did lose one of our top assistants in Charles Lee and our top bball operations consultant in JVG.

Defense is OK?
Are we watching the same game?

Being cooked on the dribble
Simple P&R breaks the defense
Losing the rebounding battle 36-23
Allowing 10-19 from 3
Giving up 61 points in the half

This doesn't look like good defense to me

[PierceFan4ever]

Ugh I’m not liking Mazzulla at all rn. It’s starting to get concerning. The only reason the house isn’t burned down is because of the defending champs label

[King Of The 4th]

Point of attack defense continues to be awful

[PierceFan4ever]

If Tatum can’t take yabusele then who can he take

[phincsfan]

Gotta get consecutive stops. A bunch of them

[playa-hater]

I want Boston to get blown out if it will lead to actually making a change. And I'm not talking end of the bench player

And I'm talking about Brad Stevens

[playa-hater]

I literally cannot remember the last time I saw KP in the so-called dunkers spot..

[phincsfan]

Looked like JT just barked at Joe

[Parliament10]

Springer is the Best one to Guard Maxey.
Otherwise, this Game is over.

[ThePigeon]

Jrue -32
Get him out already
He isn't himself

[Red2]

Wtf is with this team?

[Red2]

We need major changes.

[leper-con]

Bench the starters

[playa-hater]

Jrue -32
Get him out already
He isn't himself

Like I said with horford that would require a coach who holds players accountable for not being able to play well..

Useless or clueless Joe stinking up this organization.

[Fierce1]

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.

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

Yeah, Al and Sam are not having the same production from last season.

Al is old, so that's a given.

Sam is looking more and more like a specialist and nothing more.

Not saying trade Sam, but he's just limited and that's not gonna change.

Brad needs to make a trade that will improve the Cs ability to finish at the rim.

[playa-hater]

We need major changes.

I stated this a while ago and caught so much flak from so many green Kool-Aid drinkers.. it's like there is never enough proof to make a change..

[reload141]

If you guys can’t see the writing on the wall then here it is.

The players are tanking so Luka becomes the new HC/player for us, taking us to the championship.

Duh.
