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

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.

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.
 
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?
