Game Thread - Sixers @ Celtics - 7:30 PM, Thu, Mar. 6, 2025

[165bows]

Get the win. Easier the better. And more importantly, no one get injured.

Is it too late for the 6ers to waive Yabs so we can sign him for the game tonight?

Those ping pong balls aren't going to accumulate by themselves.

Didn't know where to put this, But 99.8 % of the time I avoid the General Board. Started a first ever thread there on PP. Going well so far but what the Hell is going on with the SGA vs Tatum Poll?? To even make that comparison (on accomplishments etc.) is a joke but somehow SGA winning with a landslide last I checked.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, that for remainder of the Regular Season, we should be able to keep the #2 Seed.
We just need a combination of 3 of our Top 6; 4 of our Top 8; and 5 of our Top 10.

If we can alternate them, and keep that ratio, then we're golden.
April 19th, here we come.

In the Regular Season, we don't need all of our Starters at the same time, and we don't need all of our Top 9-10, either.
We have a Comedy of Riches. Too many mouths to feed. We don't 6 Starters. They're tripping over each other.

What we do need, is everyone as healthy as possible, going into the Playoffs.

Injury Report for PHI: Embiid, Maxey, McCain, Lowry, and Gordon are OUT. PG and Edwards are QUESTIONABLE.

No official word from BOS yet. I'm guessing Tatum plays and Brown sits. Craig likely plays too. Hopefully we get KP back but no need to rush either him or Jrue. Horford OUT on 2nd night of B2B.

Tatum and Hauser are QUESTIONABLE while Horford, KP, Holiday, and Brown are all OUT.

White | Walsh | Craig | Tatum | Kornet
Pritchard | Peterson | Tillman | Queta

Whoa-Wait-What??? = Down 4 Starters?
We're like 22.5 Games ahead of the Sixers.

We should Win this Game, with None of our Top 6, and a piece of Bubble Gum.

Yabs gonna score 40 isn't he

not mad about Queta getting some more run in this stretch. Or Walsh <-- do something, bro!
But mostly, get ready, everyone, for The Torrey Craig Game!

Wonder if JD and New Guy might be active too?

Yabs gonna score 40 isn't he

by halftime

[Froob]

Pritch should go for 50 this time

[Gant]

Hauser's probably out, but other former Maine players will see the floor. Kornet, Queta and Walsh for sure. Maybe Scheierman, Peterson or Davison too. Miles Norris could play for the big Celtics before he does for the G League Celtics.

You knew there would be a game where it would all come down to Jordan Walsh vs Ricky Council IV.

[Celts17Pride]

Yabs gonna score 40 isn't he

That's OK, Sixers will probably score 70 as a team.

[Celts17Pride]

Pritch should go for 50 this time

Pritch 50, Norris 40, Queta 20 (before he fouls out after 8 minutes).

[Gant]

Paul George is now officially out.

[165bows]

Pritch should go for 50 this time

Pritch 50, Norris 40, Queta 20 (before he fouls out after 8 minutes).

Bring up Davison and let him and Queta work the lob magic I say.

Davison/White/Peterson/Tatum/Queta with PP and Walsh coming off the bench. PP scores 50 and cements 6MOTY award.

Unless Tyrese Maxey plays and scores 60, which is something he is quite capable of. Wish he were a Celtic. Hard to believe he was a 21st pick.

I don't know what that poll is but is there a ring or trophy next to SGA's name?

[tfribs45]

Laker fans are full of themselves..... Their humbled that we are resting our entire team tonight for Sat matchup LMAO, can't wait to see them get bounced in rd 1.

[phincsfan]

Paul George is now officially out.

100mil buckaroos between Embiid and George for 60 games played between them so far this season.

1.6mil per game.

If George plays the rest of the games after this one, Philly is on the hook for 1.25mil per game.

Imagine being a 76ers fan?

Paul George is now downgraded to OUT.
Tatum and Hauser are still QUESTIONABLE three hours before tipoff.

I wouldn’t mind White and PP both going for 50 this time around. Fun matchup vs. mah boy Grimes and Celtics legend Lonnie Walker.

The Tatum discourse on the GB is bizarre. I used to get all fired up and defend JT, but I've made myself not even click on Tatum threads lately (unless there are reports and I have to ugh). Finally realized I wasn't getting anything out of people who don't watch my team and player telling me all about them lol.

That said, it seems like there are finally some non-Celtics fans over there sticking up for our guy, at least more so than before. The hating on JT got so over-the-top that there's been a little bit of a backlash now and turned some people into fans.
