Dude, most our players aren't playing defense in this game. It's not just Redick. Redick sat for almost a quarter and we were getting pummeled! Is Redick playing from the bench? You act as if we made a run or were up when Redick was off the court. We were pathetic then too.

So you're now 0-1 instead of 1-0 so you can increase your odds from 10% to what 33%? And if you beat the odds you're now 1-1, which is the same 1-1 that is now the Sixers worst case scenario. Like I said, flawless logic.


Even at 0-2, they still end up either the 3rd or 4th seed, same as they will now. Every game is not created equal.


Well I think there's a difference between the 3rd and 4th seed. But I'm sure throwing a game all to prepare for this game and still losing would have been a great confidence boost for the squad.

assuming they lose...4-17 last two years against the Raptors and Celtics....I would fire Brett Tomorrow....let Monty Williams finish the season....We'll get to the 2nd round with or without Brett

Im taking solace is the fact that if Horford has a huge playoffs he will probably opt out of his deal for one last big pay day and therefor he will be gone a year early.

Reddick is not the problem defensively, thats laughable. The Celtics play good offensively, they look for the mismatches and for open shots. At the same time the Sixers often look lost.

Need for Jimmy to be a playmaker and let Ben be the scorer


Or do we just need Jimmy to start making shots?

Sure but both are struggling while Ben’s shots are higher %s and I’d have Butler have his turn in the 4th quarter

Each game we lose to celtics it becomes a more of a mental thing.

Even Reddick said that we have to win the game against celtics to get confidence back. Our lineup is missing a player who can defend the guards like Kyrie, Russell, Bledsoe. Elton brand did not fix this weakness and this will come to haunt us in playoffs.

the problem is they look for mismatches and we dont even resist. "switch everything" might be a option in regular season to save energy, but you cant do that in the playoffs. i hope BB knows this

Embiid at least has been solid against Horford.
