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

[Fierce1]

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.

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.

Totally understandable non-Celtic fans hating on Tatum.

But Celtic fans hating on Tatum because they want Tatum to be like SGA?

As if JT didn't lead the Cs in scoring, rebounding, and assists per game in the postseason last year.

Only a handful of NBA players were able to accomplish that feat and JT is the ONLY one to not win Finals MVP.

how tf is KP hurt again

I don't think it's an injury.

Cs know the Sixers are tanking, so why risk getting hurt?

It will be interesting to see who the starters are in this game.

Luke
JT
Craig
Walsh
White

That's my guess.

[Fantaxp7]

Kinda sucks the Sixers are a dumpster fire it's always fun beating them.

[Fierce1]

I hate to say it but the Sixers will most likely be in the Cooper Flagg race.

This will be a fun game. After the huge energy expenditure last night, I hope White and Pritchard get light duty tonight. That means a pinch of JDD and maybe a little point-Scheierman.

Gonna be fun!

10 assists for Tatum -- under/over?

[Fierce1]

Still waiting for Rico's big game.

This could be the game.

Over.

If guys make shots, I’m taking the over. If Walsh and Scheierman and Torrey Craig are chucking up bricks, it’s gonna be a long night. But I think guys are ready to seize their opportunity. I am predicting JT is 25-10-13 triple double

I hate to say it but it’s good for the league. Watching Maxey and Flagg play every game vs Embiid and whoever else for 50 games is a lot better.

I’d love to see Peterson get 30+ minutes tonight, so would his agent .

True.

But Flagg ending up in Philly is not good for Celtic fans.

I prefer Flagg ending up in Washington or Utah.

A win now and against the Lakers and a 60-win season will be looking doable.

Right now Cs need to go 16-4, but when it becomes 14-4, it will not be so far-fetched anymore.
