Celtics/NBA 2023 Playoffs Round 2 - Back to Boston for Game 7 - Sunday 3:30 PM on ABC

well that’s a statement

Embiid coming back might be a good thing for the c's. With his knee they can try and hunt him on the perimeter and he slows their offense down. When it was just Harden he was cooking the bigs and it was open 3s all night for them

Embiid just cannot help himself with the flopping. It's honestly impressive how committed he is to it.

HOW DARE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hope he is OK after this:

I was saying it to a friend, the Celtics always play better with Embiid out there in the playoffs. They keep going at him and they make him work- by the end of the game he’s sucking wind and shooting jumpers. Has happened in at least half the playoff games they’ve played each other in.


You can tell the Celtics felt embarrassed by the first game. Defensive intensity was on a different level. Good bounce back from them and good to see Mazzulla had them ready + not panicking

Seems like they are back to doing the same stuff as last season though and havent learned. They can only put their best effort forth when their backs are against the wall.

He also threw way more small lineups at them and had them attacking more. Philly can never handle when the Celts play that way.

Someone on here had that but I don't remember who.

:exhausted sigh:

Great retort... well thought out and put together

 

[JRull86]

wow what a flop

Not even the worst one from last night.

 

[EverettMike]

I mean, it was obviously not meant to be either of those things. But it perfectly conveyed what I thought of your post, so a huge success all around really.

Anyway, how bout thos adjustments by Joey Mazz!?

Finally, a game that the Celtics should play all the time. Defense Defense

Let's see what they deliver on Friday in the 76er's barn. Defense first, I hope.

Go Celtics

Brown was the driving force last night, but we're going to need the real Tatum to show up if we're gonna win games in Philly.

[lextune]

Hopefully sitting through this MVP presentation will get Tatum worked up.

 

[EverettMike]

LOL there was nothing on that "foul."

 

[EverettMike]

It doesnt seem like a big deal because of the scores, but the officiating has been so one-sided in this quarter it's insane.

 

[JEM28]

Get outta here Harden

That’s a nothing foul. Holding him like a child. What’s 76ers wigging out about.

 

[EverettMike]

Celtics can't get a call no matter how many times they attack the basket. Embiid and Harden drawing phantom calls all over the corut.

 

[lextune]

The NBA refs almost make the NHL refs seem competent.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Who's the official they were talking about on the dbag show earlier? Foster or something. Not sure how much it affects the game, is that the Celtics Rooney or something?

The refs completely flipped this game.

I'm going to lose my f***ing mind.
