The only bad possession so far and of course it’s Smart. Celtics are getting good looks easy unless Smart plays one on one

So the the Celtics are still shooting red hot from the 3pt line. The 76ers need to do something to slow down that team from the 3pt line, or this could get bad.

I'd like to see Tobias step up and be the 2nd option...not the entire game but he needs more shots.

How did Tobias Harris end up so much richer than Jeff Green?

Foul trouble on either Brown or Tatum should be a must now for the Sixers or this can easily turn into a blowout.

Celtics being able to switch 1-4 and even sometimes 1-5 just kills the Sixers

I don’t think that’s how that kind of foul works. Smart read him right. That was a good call

Foster only called that a charge so Jones could have the opportunity to say, "Recent Hustle Award winner, Marcus Smart." It was a block. And that's (part of) how you become the league's premier referee. Every game is a painting.

Philly’s only hope is to try to get as many Celtics possessions as possible end in Horford and Smart 3s.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

this 76ers team is going nowhere for the same reason as always - Doc is not an NBA coach
I mean, if Horford is trailing the play and gets an open 3 top of the key that means this team isn't coached

Embiid is under the basket, that means someone else is supposed to be covering Horford there

Celtics don't have a paint plan at all.
