Watch Thybulle. He will make All-Defensive team within the next 3 years.

You heard it here first, folks.

Celtics win this game leggo :rockon:

[fourkicks44]

Could this be Joel's first 50 point game?

Kanter gets in foul trouble early and Embiid could feast.

Could this be Joel's first 50 point game?

Kanter gets in foul trouble early and Embiid could feast.Kanter doesn't start. Embiid should have a big night but the Cs may luck out and have him drift out to the three point line.

[fourkicks44]

Kanter doesn't start. Embiid should have a big night but the Cs may luck out and have him drift out to the three point line.

If the Sixers put the game away relatively early ( big IF cause it never happens), Joel will probably sit.

A lot has been said about how Joel struggles historicaly against Horford but Kanter always has big games against him. Kanter always punishes the Sixers on the boards and big strong bodies are always a challenge for Joel. Getting them into early foul trouble is always a key.

Not much has been made of it but in recent times Kemba ALWAYS lights the Sixers up. Can't wait to see how JRich matches up with him.

[Prometheus]

Kemba, and other scoring guards, have been lighting us up when we have been forced to throw Redick and McConnell at them. It's going to look a LOT different with Richardson and Thybulle on them.

Boston is basically never an easy win for us though. There's a psychological edge they have due to the last few years of them beating us so consistently. It's like an older brother dynamic. We need either a winning streak against them, or an emphatic blowout win.

Here's to hoping Horford can help change the dynamic of the rivalry :cheers:

[Smoke117]

Sixers have a size advantage, but Celts have a huge speed advantage. That's what they will use against the Sixers. They will try to run them out of the building. Embiid will be gassed by the 3rd instead of the 4th like he usually is.

[tpols]

i didnt even know boston got kemba...

kemba
tatum
hayward
brown
*insert big man*


theyre better than i thought. Especially if Hayward looks good.

[eliteballer]

Should be a great game.

[Sportal]

Another wicked game that I'd actually watch if I was home... That's 2 in 2 days.... And I'd watch the Portland/Nuggets too. I think I watched 3 regular season games last year..

I told you in the OP, Smokie...Thybulle.

Watch this kid he gonna be a game changer on defence.

[Manny98]

Boston about to get demolished :oldlol:

No more Kyrie to save y'all

Gyals are pretty fricked these days. I just broke up my gyal a couple months ago so seeing what these young chicks do is nuts :lol

[Real Men Wear Green]

Kanter is starting. My badness.

[fourkicks44]

Horford ringing the bell :rockon:

Let's go!

[LoneyROY7]

Enes Kanter is a starting center. :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

[LoneyROY7]

Big Bucks Brown with the AND1.

[insidehoops]

Reminder: Jump to way-too-early conclusions about the entire season in the SECOND HALF of Game No. 1, not the first half. :no:

[Rudeboy3]

the sixers offence is trash

[fourkicks44]

the sixers offence is trash

Well look who showed up.

I thought you were dead.

[TommyGriffin]

Philly has no idea what they're doing in the half-court.

[DoctorP]

JRich knockin it down

[fourkicks44]

I haven't seen Brett Brown go so deep to his bench in the first quarter since he was trying to lose games.

[Matppak]

Why is hubie brown still announcing??

Dude is a ghost in a bag of skin.. this guy is a guy... shut up hubie

[Doranku]

Yeah I've always disliked Hubie. Such a boring, lifeless announcer.

[TommyGriffin]

This game sucks. :lol

[Real Men Wear Green]

Small ball is killing JB. He won't be able to stay on the floor with all the fouls he'll pick up in the paint

[RealSkipBayless]

No JJ. No finals.

2nd round exit. Cya Sixers.

[coin24]

Both teams looking so rusty:lol

Losing redick will be huge for the Sixers, they have no shooters.. they should grab melo for some bench scoring

[dazzer87]

EAST bball...... :sleeping

[CelticBaller]

Kemba :applause:

[fourkicks44]

For his first game ever, Thybulle's Defence on Kemba is awesome.

:applause:

[Rudeboy3]

No JJ. No finals.

2nd round exit. Cya Sixers.
JJ made their offence more dangerous with his constant movement and Butler gave them that guy they can give the ball to get buckets. With both gone, their offence is awful in the half-court.

[Manny98]

Philly ain't winning shit :roll:

[fourkicks44]

Ben Simmons has been by far the best player on the court so far.

[CelticBaller]

what a shit show on offense

[DoctorP]

Philly ain't winning shit :roll:

they are winning at the half

[fourkicks44]

they are winning at the half

:lol

Manny never gets tired of ALWAYS being wrong.

[fourkicks44]

Joel definitely looks like he has dropped a heap of weight.

[Real Men Wear Green]

JB might as well go home. Sure, call it a flagrant.

[Pushxx]

I like how the team doctors leave the blood there for a while to make it look worse than it is lol it's basketball

[Pushxx]

It looks like the Celtics have never practiced together lol

Also that's definitely an offensive foul on Simmons lmao what's the complaining about

[CelticBaller]

Celtics might as well go home. Sure, call it a flagrant.
Fixed

[Manny98]

Kemba 3/11

Tatum 4/14

Jaylen complete non factor

Hayward trash

[Kblaze8855]

No energy out of this crowd.

[RealSkipBayless]

Could've had Kawhi, Butler, PG etc..

From dreams of Kyrie/AD/Brown.

To whatever this shitshow is. Thanks Ainge! :banana:

:roll: :roll:

[Matppak]

This game is unbearable..

This is some of the worst basketball I've ever seen from two east conference "contenders"

[Doranku]

This Thybulle kid is putting the shackles on Kemba.

[fourkicks44]

Gotta say it is pretty comforting to have Horford come on for Joel when he is in foul trouble.

[Smoke117]

Hayward has looked good tonight. The rest of the "big four" have been awful. Well Kemba and Tatum have been awful, Brown has mostly just been in foul trouble.

[insidehoops]

These two teams did NOT earn ISH mentions tonight. Not a good showing by either squad.

:whatever:

[CelticBaller]

Celtics offense is shit Meanwhile Kyrie will probably score the most points he has scored in 2 years on his first game outside of Boston

Meh I wouldn't sweat it.

Kyrie will be injured within the next month.
I know the Nets aren

[LoneyROY7]

That Kemba vs. Kyrie graphic.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

[Smoke117]

Hayward needs to stay this aggressive all season long. I'm not really surprised about Kemba. He's always been a hot and cold guy prone to games like this. His efficiency last season wasn't anything great. He shot 43%fg and .558%ts. You are just going to have these type of games. Tatum is the one who annoyed me all game long. He was forcing the issue so much out there. He's also still a complete disaster when he's dribbling around any traffic. Like I said during the off season, it was a bad omen when he said a goal was to average 20ppg this season. That's basically saying you are going to force the issue all season long to get your points.

[Manny98]

Kemba :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[CelticBaller]

Kemba :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
The nets lost...

[fourkicks44]

Hmm remember Kemba was putting up huge numbers the first month of last season and the Hornets were losing every game

Like for like swap. Kemba just isn't a straight up c#nt.

Hayward must have leverage photos of brad or something, he doesn't belong on the floor..

Solid collection of losers jaylen, Tatum, kemba and penes..

Hayward was the Celtics' best player. What were you watching?

[Manny98]

Kyrie 50 points 17/33

BumBa 12 points 4/18

Boston fans "Kemba is an upgrade"

Just wait until Kyrie comes back to earth and scores 15 on 6-25 shooting. :lol

[ronniec]

Yes, Celtics played bad last night... but I don't worry about the L

20/34 FTs... this is unusual for Boston. It was a really bad shooting night for them.

The players had a lot of forced attempts, and not in sync. I understand.. they have quite a number of new players on the team. This takes time.

What worries me most is, we are still undersized and missing a big man or two. Last season with Horford we were already undersized, and this season is not getting any better. Poirier was not playing and Fall was injured, but we can't rely on 2 rookies to solve this problem.

WE NEED A BIG MAN.

[Prometheus]

One of the most annoyingly tightly officiated games I have ever seen.

I'm happy about a double-digit win over the Celtics. That is just something that we have sorely needed.

But MY GOD, the refs made that game unwatchable. Everything was a foul. Everyone was in foul trouble.

If every game was called that way, I would never watch basketball.

[sixerfan82]

A few things I saw/liked

Finally beating Boston, we needed this. Had we not won even WITH Horford, I'd really question our team

3 players are in new roles: harris has the green light to shoot, Horford and Richardson. Seemed like it took a half to get settled in before some chemistry happened.

Lots of fouls

Joel needs to be more aggressively(in spots) with double teams

And holy smokes, Ben is fast!
