He screwed up every single two for one and can't even figure when to shoot a one :lol: :lol: :lol: usually he just wastes the clock and launches his customary long 3 at the buzzer. That was way worse.

I'd have been ok with that tbh. Giving them 6 seconds to score is inexcusable. Almost cost us 3 points and some momentum going into half.

**** you Joel. Too **** bad.

Like the effort for most part.
Tito & Gordo have been very good.
Mook hit some big shots.
JT is trying - improve your shot selection.


Please please please bring same intensity in the second half. PLEASE.

Honestly should just remove ball handling duties from him unless we're extremely shorthanded

Rozier needs to stop trying to be who he isn’t and just be who he is and he will have a fine career.

I know this team is better with Kyrie, but the drop off without him never seems as bad as it should be.

Tatum bitches to the refs too much for my liking, but he's got every right to be pissed tonight.

Nice first half. Despite some boneheaded plays by the usual suspects, that was some gritty basketball with very good defense.

Now brace yourselves brothers. Here comes the third quarter...

All those All stars and the Sixers half court offense is still terrible.

I hate that TNT group.
Player's Only doesn't seem any better.

Thank God for NBC Sports Boston.

Horford and Hayward are the closest things we have to a PG without Kyrie.

We should be winning by 12-14, but well who cares, sixers would make a comeback in the 3Q.

At least it's safe to say we've conquered our 2nd quarter demons from last season :)

Good half. I like our defense. Physical and connected after giving up 129 and 123. Sheesh. We are too good defensively to suffer like this.

All for Hayward handling the rock the entire time he plays with Rozier.

You mean a 24ppg type of elite killer PG like Kyrie?

Even better..imagine us with Rozier in instead of whatever Wannamaker is. That would be great.

Some bad shots aside, that half was more reminiscent of last year's playoffs squad than this year's. Here's hoping the Celtics have gotten their awful 3rd quarter stretches out of their system.

Did you not see the play when he drew in the whole Sixers team and kicked it out to an open Al for a three? That was a brilliant play

Cool, he had an assist



he had 4. rozier isn't scoring but he isn't playing poorly. had that bad end though.
NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!)
