Triple M wrote:this might be a reckless thing to say but have Horford, Tatum, and Rozier been the best 3 players in the series??? don't get me wrong a lot of that is match up orient but with Embiid struggles from the field and Ben mentally checked out at times it might be the 3 C's player that are having the most impact.

Without Redick the Sixers would be completely broken. He may not be helping them defensively at all, but the only time the Sixers look good is when Redick is firing and allows the stars to get comfortable

Morris, pulls up and misses but thank christ for that TO. I sincerely hope he's gone this summer, would be willing to lose him for a second rounder. Kyrie, Brown, Hayward and Tatum will need enough shots and Morris has the worst tunnel vision I've seen in a long time.


That was a great timeout BUT I disagree with you regarding Morris, he's bailed you guys out quite a few times this season and playoffs.

Could I interest you in Portis, Payne and Holiday for Ojeleye and Morris? :-?

I like Portis a lot tbh but bad deal for the Celtics. Payne and Holiday are fillers that wouldn't help at all and Portis is part of the same 2019 FA with Rozier/Kyrie, so tough to keep him. Morris has the same problem as well but Semi we have locked up for a long time


How dare you disrespect Payne like that!

Thought this was very interesting

This series, 67.4% of the Celtics' field goal attempts have been uncontested

Only 56.6% of Philly's FGAs have been uncontested

Okay, Celtics fan, congrats, you almost did it, one game from ECF. In my previous posts I was wrong. I predicted 76ers in 6.

I will say this: the only goal that every team has is winning a title, and I am 100% sure Sixers will win one earlier than the Celtics.
I would be pleased if Celtics fans use my words as a signature.

Neither the Celtics or Sixers were going to win one this yeat. You are on the verge of winning the battle of nothing.

Its sucks to lose, it does.

Listen, you have an amazing coach, you have nice players, depth, culture and GM, whatever. Argue about Tatum/Fultz and any other things as long as you can.

But. In this league talent wins TITLES. Boston Celtics have no player close to the talent that Embiid and Simmons have. No one. No, Tatum is not on the same on the talent level as Simmons. Use that a signature also. But please use also that I am talking about talent. Not current success, talent. In 3-4 years we will see. Not earlier.

Sixers have a lot of ways to improve over the course of next two summers.

I don't belive that Celtics will win titles in
2018 (injures)
2019 (GS/Hou still better)
2020 (Baynes/Rozier/Smart gone, no room for players)

Everybody keep talking about Ainge being a genius. Listen, he is a genius at what? In 15 years the celtics won 1 title. ONE.
That's one thing that matters. Okay, throw me a lot of Colangelo have not one. He will. Use that as signature also.

Coaching:
Brad Stevens outplayed Brown like a child. He did. But as I've told before:
Stevens was SWEPT in his first playoffs series.
Stevens lost 2-4 in his second playoff series.

Listen, its only matters to win titles.

Sixers will win one before does the Celtics.

Enjoy the ride, while you can Celtics can.

Yawn

Celtics fans have an exclusive right to cockiness. Their suffering is unjust.

You can't send out a line up in the playoffs with Reddick, Bellinelli and Ilyasova and hope to contain anyone or get easy buckets.

Add to that Amir Johnson and we (the Sixers) are just to slow footed.
