Every Philadelphia starter has a positive plus minus and every Celtic starter has a negative plus minus.

I don't understand why are ball movement comes and goes. Move the damn ball, make the extra pass. And take the ball to the basket. Awful half of basketball.

And, Danny Green with 14 pts? Give me a break. He isn't even good.

Tired

This is sad. Would sure have
Iiked to have seen what we would have looked like with Fournier against them. Our ball movement seems way better when he plays.

Problem with this team is when they get behind they generally don't come back.

It’s interesting the Celtics looked better when it was just Tatum, PP, Grant, Wagner, and Semi. Celtics weren’t doing gimmick **** on defense like doubling certain players because there was no clear miss match. There wasn’t any turnovers either during that stretch.

Once the Celtics started panicking doubling Embiid and leaving Danny Green open. It just opened up a floodgate and then the Celtics started doing stupid **** on offense and then the offense started looking like the old offense with players taking turns shooting.

We have played 12 players too, which is ridiculous.

Last time Embiid played against Tacko he did the same thing. Shot from the outside and refused to go inside against Tacko

If this isn't the game you play Tacko 10 minutes, there is zero reason for the experiment.

His talent is shooting 3's and our defense is letting him shoot wide open 3's! Reggie Miller could have left the announcers booth and dropped 12 on us.

Game went to **** when they doubled Embiid. Let that big bitch score his 2 pts over letting Green score 12 in like 2 minutes. His first three was literally because Kemba doubled off him. Like give me a break man. That's just dumb.

Celtics are shooting 48% when they actually shoot on a possession..

Hal14 · Post #515 » by **Hal14** » Wed Apr 7, 2021 12:49 am

That was a really really bad 1st half. And yet we're in the game, only down 13. If we come out with a run in the 3rd quarter we're right back in it, only down 6 or 7.

Can't get much worse than that in terms of leaving their shooters wide open, running really bad offense that resulted in forced shots/turnovers, Time Lord contributing nothing, etc.

I like what Tacko brought to the table. He scored easily on Embiid and held his own on D. Embiid kept settling for 3's with Tacko guarding him and he kept missing those 3's. Let's keep forcing Embiid to brick 3's and we can get back in this game.

CelticsPride18 · Post #516 » by **CelticsPride18** » Wed Apr 7, 2021 12:49 am

We should stop doubling Embiid because it’s pretty obvious we are not going to recover to defend the 3’s or produce TO’s

True but I have trouble putting much of this at Kornet's feet. Marcus and Jaylen combine for 8 turnovers in the first half.

The team over helping is the whole reason the defense sucks this year!

Sixers are good defensive team you have go get good ball and body movement to score consistently against them. Simmons, Thybulle and Green can all D up. Embiid and Howard protect the rim.

We've started to settle because it's not easy like it's been.

Not closing out to shooters.

I think it's more an effort thing. And to be honest it's Tatum and Brown effort on D that's most troubling right now. Kemba and Smart try at least.

Tacko actually made a positive impact there.

Tatum 2 for 9, 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assists. Someone let him know there is a game tonight
