Get inside the 3 point arc Mr. Tatum.

What a lazy player.

Better ball movement the last couple of possessions.

Kemba really having a hard time against the bigger Sixer players.


Brown is the one getting destroyed by everyone on the court.


Yeah, but you can see the bigger Sixer players are bothering Kemba.

Kemba just doesn't look comfortable out there.

Fournier and Rob alone solved 75% of our problems.

When one is in foul trouble and the other is not playing we pretty much have no shot out there.

They are the guys that move the ball.

How good a coach is doc rivers? Down to 15. Calls timeout.

I like brad, but he is way too analytical with his feel sometimes.

Langford driving and dishing. Imagine if Brown did this more often.

That is why the NBA is not dominated by big men who are 7ft and bigger. They are basically too immobile to be of any real value. Dare I say it, even Shaq would struggle these days given how the game has changed.

This guy absolutely has no place on an NBA roster and he is **** awful.

LoL at having him AND Kemba Hot Trash Walker in the game lolol

He was decent in there. Didn’t get destroyed. Didn’t have any dumb fouls. What is wrong with y’all?

What is the expectation of Tacko?!?!! He’s basically a rookie going against the MVP of the league...at least he didn’t foul out in 5 minutes. WTF. He’s actually keeping Embiid out of the paint.

Tacko has been somewhat useful

Marcus Smart has not
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Tacko hasn't been a complete disaster; he's actually been pretty effective out there. That's a win.
