Just a comment. Seems like a d-bag - smirking and complaining and playing keep away and such. Non-playoff game and non-injured thumb, Smart may have taken a swing.


As a sixer fan, and I'm sure most agree, I love it.


Oh, don’t get me wrong, he’s amazingly fantastically great. Personally I’d say he’ll far surpass Embiid and anyone else as best player in the L in 2-3 years. Truly special. Wicked annoying looking.

*yawn*

Couldn't be anymore arrogant, huh? Guess the first half didn't go the way you were claiming it would. What a talent gap.

The Celtics were taking him either way.


That's the point my man....you don't make that kind of a trade with a rival especially when it was kinda known that the Celtics/Ainge were interested in Tatum....Colangelo got played big time


I wonder what Hinkie would've done? The Sixers ripped another hole in Hinkie before he was fired... err resigned.

Put him on Rozier and let him figure it out.

I'm Canadian so I'm superior to fans of both teams. It's a great place to be.

Your team celebrated beating the Heat as if they had just won the title tho. Short memory?

We're one step from playing Danny Ainge and Scalabrine and still win halves. :lol: I'm surprised we can fill the player sheet. Just let the people enjoy the good start here yes? :)

Very bad first half by the Sixers. Both defensively and offensively.
Still expect sixers to win series in 6.
There won’t be many halves with Celtics hitting more than twice threes then the Sixers.
Even if the Celtics win this one, Sixers in 6 or 7.
So far Celtics dominating. Very impressed.
I don’t think Sixers can make a comeback in this one.
Sixers fan since 2001. From Russia.

Look back in this thread and see how many Philly fans disagree with you. They are even saying Celtics aren't contenders with Kyrie and Hayward.

It's pretty obvious how this first half has gone though given the circumstances, Boston are in rhythm coming off a short break (they will probably tire out in the 2nd half)
Philly has been cold due to such a long break and will catch fire in the 2nd half, it'll come down to whether our offense can keep you guys at bay...

Not a big enough lead IMO. We need this win though with Brown sitting.

Not sure, he couldn't be worse than Anderson even without a outside shot. Not sure if he played in the last series.

1 year left on deal, he has a good chance of being dealt. Before the Kyrie injury, Boston probably could have had a chance at a reasonable extension. His end of year and playoff (more so) performance have elevated his value to a completely different level. That is great for trade value, but bad for team friendly contract negotiations.


Aige might just dump kyrie. Ainge is ruthless.

Brad cannot rest Horford and Terry for so long. Sometimes these rests are baffling to me.
Good assessment:

That said, Celtics fans deserve to tak right now, but the overreaction to 1 half is real)))
