Well in the beginning of this thread I said the two towers would hurt us. Never thought we wouldn’t bring playoff intensity though.... wake up boys!

That was so poor. Holy ****. Now you allow the biggest front running team with the biggest front runner superstar to play with a lead in the 4th. All because you're two 'stars' can't hit an open ft line jumper.

Foh.

I'm old enough to remember we had a 9-pt lead and seemed to have figured out how to score against their defense. With Embiid on the floor, even.

I hate that it's true, but we've got a couple of the worst max contracts in the league.

Way too much hands in the air and ref complaining. Play the damn game, this is the playoffs. Stop with the childish stuff. We really need a playoff vet on this team. These guys are too inexperienced and Brad isn't a tough enough coach.

To be fair, Hayward has hit some shots. Kemba is the problem here.

Max contract for this **** lmfao

Not really though. Embarrassing Philly only up 4 the way the Celtics have missed their open looks tbh

Just so I'm clear, jaqua92, and not the team is the one who is shook and soft for calling a spade a spade. Ironic.

Team will get desperate and pull this one out. Philly is a bad matchup but man they need to get their **** right.

They wasted those minutes when Embiid was on the bench. Unbelievable.

They were getting some good looks though, just kept missing them.

Sad but funny!

That’s two stretches in a row that we failed to capitalize on Embiid being on the bench.

Smart, Kemba and Hayward no-showing. Theis' unwillingness to shoot. Not the start I was so hyped for.

Still think we take it, though. Just got a lot to clean up.

Every team has runs. Hope Philly enjoyed that.

Kemba needs to move the ball more I don’t care if he has clean looks, he’s off right now. It’s not the time to get into form right now

Bully ball. Not sure why brown isn’t employing more of that. Terrible coach.

I remember when Kemba was playing like an all-star

themoneyteam2 · Post #937 » by **themoneyteam2** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:24 am

Yeah I mean if Philly makes more threes than us we’re not gonna win...

Celtics offense stagnant for a good 5 mins and what does CBS do? Keep Tatum on the bench.

Triple7 · Post #939 » by **Triple7** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:24 am

We’re playing with no energy and passion. It’s like were juat doing the motions. Stevens can you PLEASE tell your guys this is the playoffs already. Wake up!!!
