GT: Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers

I hope not but this could be the last time these two teams face each other this season.

What is Horford's status?

EmChoke ain't killing shit especially in the playoffs he has choking in his DNA :oldlol:

[fourkicks44]

Tobias came to play.

[Derka]

Embiid in Smart

[Proctor]

So fun to see poor little Embiid get punked. :oldlol: :banana:

[dazzer87]

Nice flop by Embiid..............:lol

[CelticBaller]

Smart is an idiot

good thing he got ejected

[zizozain]

4 pt game :lol

late bad call

[CelticBaller]

The Cancer putting the 76ers on chemo :lol

[CelticBaller]

I hope Marcus Smart enjoys being the reason why we lost

[Doranku]

Kyrie got absolutely shredded on defense the last few minutes of the game

[NBASTATMAN]

Great game..

I would still take The Celtics to go to the finals..

[NBASTATMAN]

Kyrie is a great scorer but defense has always been his weakness..

[Derka]

43 free throws needed to eek out a win :applause:

[Indian guy]

Butler has always been clutch. Dude was fearless even in his early Chicago days.

[BigShotBob]

Morris was the biggest issue on both offense and defense. Shouldn't haven't even been on the court.

And all it took was over 40 free throws and a Baynes injury/Marcus Smart ejection in order for them to win.

Crazy.

No smart, hayward or baynes either lol

[dbugz]

Good job Sixers for avoiding us in the 1st and 2nd round.

Congratulations to the Sixers for finally breaking that hold the Celtics had over them.

This should build their confidence and help solidify their hold on to the third seed.

The Celtics will be fine, because they are still a balanced team that does not require homecourt advantage as much - just that they can be overpowered by stronger teams in the Eastern conference. Horford no longer seems capable of controlling Embiid, given the 37 point and 22 rebound performance tonight.
:cheers:

[fourkicks44]

Simmons, clutch.

Joel, clutch.

Jimmy, clutch.

:cheers:

Morris has been a straight up bum since a little bit before the all star break. He had a nice hot start to the season and got way overrated. I have no idea what he has on Brad and why he won't play Brown and Hayward more (I know hayward is out, but this goes back to before this) and just sit Morris' ass down. He's by far the worst non guard defensive player on this team and does nothing else but chuck up shots like he's Michael Jordan on offense. If the Celtics are going to do anything in the playoffs he needs to be benched and his mins given to Hayward and Brown.

What fans fail to see and what coaches see always comes down to things that were promised or said or other things beyond on-court production. Perhaps Jaylen Brown can't play with a certain guy on the floor due to an ongoing feud, or perhaps Morris has the respect of the others that Hayward and Brown don't. These sort of intangibles that never come out until decades later in a biography or something. :confusedshrug:

What a bunch of nonsense. Morris being on the court so much has done nothing but hurt this team for awhile now. Period.

That must explain why Brad Stevens is an NBA head coach and you're some genius on the internet.

My favorite thing about Celtics losses is checking how much urine Bill Simmons has leaked on Twitter.

Bill Simmons can eat Cameroonian dick :lol

Baynes out 4-6 weeks with grade 2 ankle sprain, things are not looking good for Boston :(

Without a defensive presence like Baynes the Celtics will have a harder time winning but they are deeeeeeep.. So they should do be fine up until the second round of the playoffs.. They will need him in the second round..

[Prometheus]

Eat shit, Boston.

[loadingthelife]

It only took 43 FTs, 2 injuries and 1 ejection to beat the Celtics, release the confetti.

[superduper]

Where have all the Embiid haters been lately? :oldlol:

7'3 300lb dude guarding the most prolific scoring guard of this era and one of the best isolation scorers + clutch scorers in history out on the perimeter and shutting him down in the game deciding possession.

Em...Choke :rockon:

What about you? Always talking shit saying we should trade Simmons. He gave us the lead that Embiid protected.

Not bad!!

Simmons is a great Draymond esq role player type player don't get me wrong. Slightly better on offense and slightly worse on defense. But you aren't winning if he's your #2 option on offense, which he no longer is :rockon:

[Prometheus]

"slightly better on offense"

moron

:facepalm
