Lol this mod. I'm not even a sixers fan and I can't help but respect the Celts resilience but he's a pretty big troll. Not sure if I've seen another mod like him.

Of course, it looks bad now since Fultz got a case of the ultra-yips.


Would Hinkie make that deal? I think not. Thus Colangelo screwed them


The point is, that no matter what, the 76ers never have Tatum instead of "Bustz" as you originally wrote. Cs just pick him #1.


Yes, but Philly would have Bustz and the SAC pick. They just lost the pick for no reason

I think most expected a good series. Steven's is too good of a coach to not get the most out of his guys.

I personally think philly will figure it out and win the series, but I expected this to be a pretty entertaining back and forth series.

Getting on Celtics fans for enjoying a blowout win over a favored Sixers team without Hayward, Kyrie, Brown and Theis just looks salty.
Lol salty. I'm a **** kings fan bro. I have no horse in this race I just want a good series. Rozier is balling out of his mind, and next game if philly wins by 20 then so be it. Its 1 **** game is all I'm saying, half of you are making it seem the series is over. And stop including Hayward, you guys got the 2nd seed without him all season.

Stupid Colangelo. He destroyed my Raptors, hopefully he won’t do the same with Philly.


Ainge was underrated for quite some time on here. Non-Cetlic fans are starting to recognize his genius.

It doesn't matter how good Fultz looked.

It made no sense at the time either.

You don't give up an unprotected first from a terrible team to move up 2 spots unless its a generational talent.

Nobody in their right mind thought Fultz was that type of player.

Even if Fultz ends up an all-star it was still a bone headed move.

The whole idea behind the proccess was to always maximize value. Hinkie would have never done that.

Let the Celtics take Tatum at #1. You probably end up with Fultz anyway.

Uh I'm not disputing this. You originally said imagine Tatum on the 76ers as if that was the outcome of the trade. It wasn't, because Celtics would have picked him first if Ainge even smelt BC looking at Tatum.

If your original contention is that BC screwed the Sixers by losing the Sac pick, we'll okay, but that's not what you wrote and what I responded to.

R-E-L-A-X

Why would we eat crow? We’re the underdogs in this series and should lose if Philly are who their fans think they are.

And forgive us for getting excited. We’re missing 3 of our starters. We really have no business even being 1-0.
I understand, my comments weren't directed towards every Celtic fan. But at the same time rozier and Tatum are playing at a level they wouldn't be sniffing if Hayward/Irving were here. That's not to say what the celtics are doing isnt amazing, but you guys were the 3rd seed without Hayward all season and kyrie for a big portion. So I would say that you guys should win at home, and game 2 will be the test. Need to protect home court.

Kind of disagree with Tatum as he plays a different position and has been pretty efficient. Rozier wouldn't be getting near the usg though that's true, that's also why he'll prob get traded if Irving gets extended. But this is why I don't get to hyped over players who put up big points unless they do it efficiently.

Yeah you're right my bad. I forgot Ainge loved Tatum so much lol. Just feel for PHI fans having to see Tatum while Fultz sits. Meant to stress BC screwed PHI

Do you think celtics resign smart and move rozier this summer? If so what would you target for rozier?

I expect no less. All day long. I’ll read every post on here no matter how painful.

If Horford, Tatum and Rozier are that on fire for the rest of the series, that's too good, nothing 76ers can do about it. But I doubt all 3 will stay that hot all the time so... I'm not too worried.
