Gonna be a dogfight, Brown seems a bit too lackadaisical rn

[PierceFan4ever]

Makes sense the Celtics are turning it over so much since they generally don’t like passing. The ball isn’t really sticking but the passes have got to be way better. Plays like Jaylen and Grant being casual when getting the ball in the post is stupid. Sixers play elite defense and have one of the best records, be effin ready each play.

JT and JB passing is not natural to them. A lot of times they are late with the passes. That will all change in a couple of years. 25-26 years old Jaylen and Jayson will be beasts

[Ben-N1ce]

11 turnovers like 4 from good D.. Good stuff

[zoyathedestroya]

Jaylen has Grant wide open for three and waited 2 seconds to get him the ball..

I don't think he'll ever get it. It's an instinct thing. He always misses the passing window. Passes once the defense recovers.

Refs calling travel on the 76ers:

[PierceFan4ever]

We could really use Fournier right now

Big time. No TT to back up Rob blows too

[Bill Lumbergh]

We've had so many BAD possessions.

Philly looked like the faster, longer, taller and flat out superior team in every way and you look at the score board and it's a 1pt game lol

We haven't even touched the paint in this game.

I look at them and am not that impressed. We get a healthy Fournier, and we have a legit shot at beating them in a series. Now, Brooklyn is a whole nother beast.

[Bleeding Green]

Maybe Brown should stick to the tunnel vision and stop passing.

Stevens needs to play Tacko against Embiid tonight to see if that could be a possible scenario going forward. If he doesn’t it’s an epic fail

Sure, play Tacko for one possession, then after Embiid rams through him and dunks all over his head (which is gonna happen), take him out immediately.

Tacko doesn't have the speed or strength to contain someone as skilled as Embiid, let's not delude ourselves.

You mean like he was doing to Kornet?

Kornet's lateral movement and footwork is way better than Tacko's, who moves like he's got cement blocks on his feet. Embiid will just go around him. And besides, Tacko will be useless on the offensive end, unlike Kornet who can space the floor.

I mean, we've all watched Tacko in garbage time. He's two years away from being two years away.

[Ben-N1ce]

Another unforced turnover

[zoyathedestroya]

12 turnovers in 17 minutes.

[Kalela]

12 turnovers by the Celtics. No one can this team can catch a pass?

Eh, I don’t think Jaylen will ever be an average playmaker. It’s just not natural to him, like zoya said above.

He is a scorer, through and through.

[radcot]

The gang that couldn't pass straight.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Thought that last turnover from JB looked like a kickball.

Celtics have been awful though.

[GotDaSauce]

The whole team is drunk!

[CeltsFlow]

I think that possession was the first time Romeo touched the ball lol

[Ill News]

All these turnovers are frustrating. The Sixers are all over those pocket passes that our guys keep trying to pull off.

[Celts17Pride]

Good block Kornet
