I thought Philly cracked the code; have so many 3 point shooters that even if one of them shoots poorly there's 2 more that can make up for it. Seemed like a fool proof plan, but they're all shooting poorly.

Expect a much better game 2 from them.

Thats actually the literal definition of an excuse.

Moments like this you see why Philly needs a guy like LeBron. A guy who can create offense out of nothing and can't be game planned against. Celtics taking Philly out of everything they like to do.

I can’t believe how much I love Rozier man. Dude just has that aura about him.

Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA not named Popovich.

I know a lot of it is on Rozier himself, but Stevens has done something to get Rozier to play like a well-above-average PG here recently. It may just be lighting in a bottle that will fizzle out by the end of the series, but Stevens deserves plenty of credit because he's an elite coach.

Man, the Celtics really have an embarrassment of riches in their back court.

sweep the east

Not sweep, but most likely would get to the finals. As Cavs and OKC have all ready proven this year it doesn't matter the names in your team if they don't know how to play together. Hayward was former Stevens player so there is a good chance he would have played quite well, but can't be certain.

Just unbelievable what Celtics are doing. Congrats to them. Sixers are not a team that needed the week rest. They look so out of sync and rusty.

If the Sixers going to leave Al open to keep Embiid protecting the paint, it's not going to work out well for them.

life_saver · Post #1615 » by **life_saver** » Tue May 1, 2018 2:21 am

Celtics have gotten way too many open looks from 3 point range

CelticsLV · Post #1616 » by **CelticsLV** » Tue May 1, 2018 2:21 am

Celtics abusing Embiid's slowness.

Brad Stevens is the coach of the year. End of discussion.

Please, please leave Al Horford open some more. :nod:

I don't think Boston can shoot better from 3 in Game 2, then again a lot of them are wide freaking open. Of the two teams, Boston has defended the 3pt line well tonight.

Series Prediction
