For now. Tatum is gonna be great but who even knows where Simmons ceiling is if he can hit it.

Simmons is 2(?) years older than Tatum and actually has a year of training with pros under his belt.

If we gave the Celtics Norman Powell for free I'm pretty sure he'd be a superstar.

I am happy to not have to watch Middleton light us up. We can let the 76ers 2nd best player shoot all day.

I think the Boston crowd would have a chant to destroy whatever little confidence he has left.



great point. fultz is a basket case. i feel awkward at how they obviously prop that guy up. its almost like he's "challenged". no offense intended. fultz does not seem mentally healthy. that interview where he refused to answer any questions was interesting human behavior. think the construction work there needs to be done on the human, not the shot form or "scapular imbalance".

Yeah probably, but if we can take game two it won't matter


Agreed, and the Sixers will obviously play better in game 2, but if people complained about rust tonight they cant be happy there isn't another game until Thursday.

Stevens going to continue to take the shooters away, but I'm curious to see if they use Saric more.

He's the number 1 pick that can't get off the bench and the guy he was traded for just has 28. The trade looks worse by the day and should be brought up when he can't even get garbage time minutes.

Boston was definitely the more ready team tonight. The 6 days off were not good for Philly and their shooters, I fully expect them to bounce back.

Should be one hell of a series, on to game 2!

Sniping and homer commentary aside, the Sixers better find a way to defend Rozier and Tatum if they want to win this series.

Celtics crapped all over the the Sizers tonight. 8-) They had the lead almost the entire game. I think I saw my plumber come off the bench.

Damn Celtics just spanked the mighty Sixers that features Magic, Kareem, and Gordon Hayward! All without Kyrie, Hayward, and Brown?! Imagine that...maybe everyone not just Sixers fans stop overhyping some of these Sixers players because outside of Embiid, I wasn’t impressed and like I said the Celtics would sweep the Sixers in 4 if everyone was healthy. They better hope they land Lebron or else Boston is going to be the team dominating the east for the foreseeable future. Tatum, Rozier, Brown, and Smart are all terrific young talents that deserves more attention. Maybe winning this series without our 2 best players will do.

And lmao to any Sixers fan all year saying Covington and Saric > Brown and Tatum. What a joke

We were the best defensive and best team defending the 3. Put some respec on our team.
Good assessment:

That’s cool Rozier likes Drew Bledsoe. I was a big fan and was kind of grumpy when you know who got his spot and stopped liking the Patriots. Lol - I guess it ended up working out for them though...:(...
