He has been enormous defensively despite being frozen out on the other end. He's playing at kawhi level. Give him the ball Brad.

I know Jaylen hit a ton of big shots, but Tatum was by far the best player on the court tonight.

I won’t fight anyone who gives Jaylen the VC though, we don’t win if he didn’t get it going in the 4th.

Philly turned the game around in the third when Tatum went to the bench.

I was negative throughout this thread but **** all that, this is a good, tough playoff win. And for all the **** people gave Kemba and Hayward, they weren't actually bad. I hope Hayward and Brown are good to go next game.

If the Celtics get the same looks they are winning by double digits next game. They need to figure out how to get the switch when Tybull is on Tatum or set a pick. He had trouble.

Which is funny because next round the **** has to leave for his baby. If it's not one thing it's another.

He feels he may actually see the 2nd round of the playoffs. Let him smile. :lol:

Shame. Could have been a genuinely great series were Simmons healthy. Just wasn't meant to be this year.
. This will be a 4-2 Sixers series I’m positive

Too big
Too strong

Embiid can't even get through Kanter. :lol:

Philly still little brother until further notice.

Tatum will end up with 33 in honor of the 2nd greatest Celtic after him.

Brad deserves some heat for calling this game like it was game 50 of the regular season. Too cute. Tatum has proven the post all star break out burst wasn't a fluke. He's a bonafide stud. Do what all the others teams do when they have a stud. Give him the **** ball.

I’ll take the W no matter how ugly. We’ll do better next game.

Mentally I know it's a playoff game.

But **** fam... without the fans this still feels like a weird version of Summer League.

Yep

4-2 Philadelphia I bet

themoneyteam2 · Post #1379 » by **themoneyteam2** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 1:07 am

32 and 13 with a game high +19 for Tatum. I’d say that’s solid

Good win. The injuries suck, but at least we gutted it out.

And I gotta say, I love the Doris Burke-Mark Jones commentary team. Burke's analysis is always spot-on and insightful, and Jones' voice is just soothing for some reason. Give me this duo over that JVG-Mark Jackson nonsense any day
