Don't you just love defense to offense?

Simons says BANG

Simons instant offense.

We have to stay in the moment because Sixers do a lot of coming from behind. Not too high, not too low!

Simons would be killer paired with JT and JB.

Fierce1 · Post #107 » by **Fierce1** » Fri Oct 31, 2025 11:55 pm

14 points in 12 minutes for Simons.

Up 20 Pts. = Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep it going.

No lead is safe, in today's NBA.

He won't get much credit but Tillman has done well against Embiid during his short stint. Minott on Maxey has been pretty effective in slowing down Philly offense too.

Embiid is moving like he’s 60 years old

Love this style of play. We used to just out talent teams. This is a really eye pleasing way to play.

He should be Starting.
Payton off the Bench.

This is the Celtics I envisioned after Brad got Simons.

Scoring was going to be a problem without Tatum, but Simons is filling in nicely.

This team is playing so well right now. I’m not even sure what is happening.

He looks like he's trying to be Hugo, which, is not so bad, but he loses his focus on D. If he can keep it up and get some offense going, that would help, but it still seems like the game is too fast for him.

When you lack the talent, you gotta make it up with defense, energy, and hustle. Only one who still has that "too cool for school" vibe is Baylor. He needs to get with the program.

Is he on the Bench?

I guess I shouldn't question pp's toughness..

Garza messed up Minott's Dunk.
Foul.
