Must suck being a Sixers fan never having your team back you up after your trash talk.

0 all-stars on this roster just beat a team with 4 of them in their starting lineup for the 2nd win on the road against a good team.

Between last year's playoffs and the times we've seen it this regular season, it's very clear this roster synchs a lot better with ball movement and equal opportunity offense. As well as having every single player play tough, endless energy defense and gang rebounding.

Irving just doesn't fit for this roster.

That's okay though, either he won't be on the roster next year, or this roster won't be here and it's traded for AD.

Just sucks for this season as his lack of fit with the current roster has really made this a disappointing year and held all our other players back.

Sorry Joe.
You didn’t get your “solid” “guaranteed” 20 point loss.
Wrong for the 10000th time in the last mother **** decade.
Doesn’t your pathological negativity ever ever ever EVER get old??

We should all be encouraged by Hayward, he is clearly getting back to himself. I was worried for a bit.,

Talent wise, don't see 1 position in the starting 5 where I would choose a Celtic. On offense, the Sixers no longer have any weak links. On defense, they are too long and strong and not even a cohesive unit yet. LOL

They are winning on talent alone right now. And share the ball better than most teams in the league. Bench has acquired more reliable veterans & improved at the backup center (Boban) wing position (J Simmons & J Ennis) & power forward (Mike Scott) positions. They are not world beaters but can hold the fort enough, as they were not getting much of anything before from the bench, offensively or defensively.

Right now, it's hard to get a big run on this team, as there are 2 all stars types on the floor at all times. Basically, they take turns scoring and distribute the wealth pretty evenly because they will exploit your weakness as the game develops. I see a somewhat tight game here til half time. Sixers pull away by end of game with a 15 point victory. This will be a demoralizing loss for the Celtics. You will learn tonight that things are different now in the Eastern Conference.

Not so different, it seems.
We still own you!

Another case of the little brother jawing and talking trash to the older brother. And then the big bro handles the business. They never learn :lol:

Ben Simmons is arguably the MOST OVERRATED player in NBA history .. his making the all-star team is ludicrous !

Yeah I'm giving this to Hayward.

offense always wins it anyway.

no matter what Al did, offense wins the day in the nba.

Toughest decision of the year for me. Horford's defense on Embiid was huge.

True and that is hard to see in stat sheet

Where are all the people now saying this was a loss? You know who you are. Most of us didn’t think it was a guaranteed win but all of you were so definitive. Of course you will crawl back into your hole until the next Celtics loss. So pathetic and predictable.

He needs to be the lone star on a team going nowhere. That's where JB shines

Hayward hit open shots and I'm happy for him having one hot shooting night.

Horford did that and is still owning the entire real estate in Embiid and Simmons head.

He was at least 5x more important tonight to the W then Hayward. Totally going Horfie.

Horford is Philly's Daddy.

You spelled Kyrie Irving wrong.

That win not only keeps us in it for the 3rd spot, but being our best win on the road this season, without Kyrie and with Rozier playing terrible, it gives us more confidence that maybe, just maybe, we can overcome the lack of HCA in the playoffs.
