Nice win. That 2+1 that Simmons got definitely helped to change the dynamic of the game.

Yet another tremendous game from the franchise player.

I expected us to win both. Charlotte stinks and we were favored tonight at home with a rested Embiid.

Yo the salt is flowing on the general thread.

No doubt. That's a play he doesn't make previously.

These games catch up to players, especially big guys like Embiid.

Brett played this game with a playoff rotation.

Glad for the win, but it was wayyy too many mins really although we don't have much choice.

Imagine having to pay off the refs and still lose. Hate to see it.

How many FTs do you think Embiid would have shot if the game was called fairly? 60? They fouled him in every position.

Are Celtic fans really under the impression that the refs favored us this game?

Their city is so used to cheating, because that's all their teams ever do, that when the favoritism isn't insanely blatant, they aren't used to it, and they can't handle it and it eats them up because they know deep inside that they have to cheat to accomplish anything in all 4 sports.

They are Celtic fans after all. Don't expect much from them.

You might play wings and guards 40 mins in the playoffs.

Not your 7'2'' big man. Even in the playoffs.

They're not the sharpest lot.

Marcus Smart proved by shoving Embiid that the Sixers live inside the Celtics heads. They stay awake at night and have nightmares about us. If they were confident and secure they wouldn't have melted down like that. I'll give Smart credit for one thing, he has a hell of a Crosby impersonation. Shove someone and hide behind your teammates and officials.

HAHAHAHAHA

They shot nothing but jumpers outside of Irving. They weren't physical at all.

I don't care. We beat a team we never beat on the 2nd half of a back to back. There really isn't any circumstance, outside of an injury to Kyrie, that could take away from that win.

Brown letting Jimmy cook & iso like that better be a preview of the playoffs.

FT disparity. Its ok, part of the game. We also experienced that when we play at their home. And we would have won the last game against them if not for Hayward having his best game as a Celtics ever

Well the bench had 8 points, not much there.

In the playoffs, we might not get 8 from them.

No more JJ-Biid DHO in crunch time. Can't wait.

Suck it, Boston. We're better than you now and we're going to be better for a long time

Celtics fans, evidently, are not familiar with the rules of basketball. When you're fouled on a shooting attempt, you're awarded free throws. Apparently they've never witnessed this in an NBA game before tonight. Not surprising since their superstar only averages three free throw attempts per game.
