I would sit Kemba and Kanter for a short stretch just to see how our defense can amp up this thing.

Richardson and Milton combined are 11-20 FG and 28 pts. That’s really the only worry is if they play well it’s gonna be tough to beat the sixers

Philly's a worst-case matchup for us stylistically. Their size narrows the talent gap a ton. Expect us to continue looking labored against them the whole way, even if we ultimately win in 4 or 5. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see us look better against a "better" team in the 2nd round.

Someone tell Kemba he's wearing Celtics green and not Bobcats puke yellow

I feel like as long as we avoid a 4 minute scoring drought we will win this game.

Tatum having an awesome game. He's also the only Celtic without an assist.
