Comments From The Other Side - vs Philly, Game 1 Playoff Semis
http://celticsgreen.blogspot.com/2018/05/comments-from-other-side-76ers-game1.html
by FLCeltsFan
My expectations ARe that we Lose one in Boston. Embiid and Ismmons will get frustrated at some of the defensive looks that Stevens throws at them. Similar to the heat’s strategy, but with better players.
I expect this to be a 6 game series only because Stevens coaching ability.
I think we're gonna spank the Celtics in 5, maybe even sweep. They just won't have the firepower to keep up with us
Love lurking on the Celtics board. The insecurity and fear of us is real. We came up overnight and they just can't handle it lol, I love it! Sixers in 6 at the latest
This is going to be a good series but I just don't see the C's winning more than 2 games with their current rotation. Fully confident going in...
I would love if we will be able to sweep them so that we can say that their great Brad Stevens was not able to squeek atleast 1 game to a supposedly inferior coach.
This should be a 4 game sweep. Maybe Boston gets one at home.... Maybe.
THey will be clutching and grabbing and hand checking and everything else they can get away with. From what I've seen so far this playoffs the refs refuse to call fouls on guys mugging the ball handlers. If that remains true, this will go a couple extra games unfortunately. If they call it tight, it should be 4 or 5 games.
Baynes and Horford wont be able to challenge Biid vertically. Biid used to have a tough time on Theis.
If Jaylen Brown is injured, this should be a clean sweep by double digits every game.
This is Stevens one shot to beat the sixers. By next year Simmons and Joel will be more developed, James will be here, etc. So if he can't beat us this year, they should really replace him, since he'll have missed his best shot lol
Without Brown game one should be a damn blowout. I wanted Milwaukee because I think the Sixers would have swept them EZ. But now that its Boston.....mmmmmm. The Bill Simmons tears are going to be mighty tasty.
I feel like we lose this one due to rust and not being ready for the higher intensity
I don’t know how Fultz will fare in a hostile environment in Boston. I say play him. If he can play well with fans jeering him he will show me a little something.
It took them 7 games to beat a 7th seed bucks team that plays horrible basketball. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Sixers sweep them. If browns out tonight it will be a double digit win. (MY NOTE: He's right, it was a double-digit win. Heheh)
Smart is trash against everybody except us
76ers in 6. I'm concerned about rust in game 1. Turnovers against more persistent defense (Smart) and the possibility of a couple hot shooting games from the 3 point line from Tatum and Horford.
Going to have to win by 10-15 points. If it comes down to a close game the Celtics will get all the calls. This is their home court advantage.
The Sixers will definitely get a few BS calls against them from Marcus Smart flopping.
Brown is out, hopefully we can steal this game.
Not so excited now Jaylen Brown is out. Its like playing the Heat but Dragic opts to sit out lol
Their catch phrase for this series is "Beat PhiLA" So we've become a team good enough to have opposing fan bases chant "Beat" before us now. We've officially made it, folks!
I feel like tonight is what "The PRocess" was all about. You don't tank for three seasons to win 50 games. You don't tank for three seasons to win one playoff series vs. A non contender. You tank for three seasons so you can say "big deal" during the three seasons you lose and "HAHAHAHAHAHA" when for the next decade you kick the everliving dog $h******* out of the hated Celtics.
Damn Kevin McHale calling
Sucks about all the injuries for Boston, but we can't do anything but play who is in front of us. Get the W!
Expect this **** to get violent tonight. Horford, Smart, Baynes, Morris....these guys play physical. They're gonna try to body Embiid and Simmons.
Smart starting. Interesting.
This Celtics starting lineup is barely playoff caliber. We need to win this.
The Celtics should not be underestimated but when about half your cap space is hurt there’s only so much that can be done. They have a good system and were the 2nd seed, but still only barely got by the very poorly coached Bucks.
I so badly want the Sixers to crush them tonight, 40 pts+. Rip their damn hearts out.
Boston will be more ready because they have yet to rest. But wait util the 2nd quarter. I just don’t see the Celtics transition defense stopping the 76ers.
Boston really struggles with running teams Might be hard for Celtics to keep up
Sixers in four and As always Losers blame refs
McHale already sounding like a homer.
Wtf we stink
Jayson Tatum is so nice. Would have been nice to just take him at #3. (MY NOTE: Oh, this is just too funny)
Tatum looks pretty good
Started off rusty, but the Sixers defense is quite good and I think Boston will struggle to score against us. We'll get warmed up as the game goes on.
We're playing like trash and still ahead. We're just better than this crippled Celtics team.
Stevens isnt doin them a favor with the baynes/horford lineup...allows jojo to stay inside on d
Bad call. I'll take it. Morris didn't touch Covington lol
This is why I wanted Milwaukee Boston has too many athletes are us it appears
You have the Celtics who aren't going to give open 3's, like ever... Then Philly has the Simmons/Embiid/Cov trio of defenders against a team who cant score who is missing their best playoff scorer in jaylen brown.
4-14 but up one, I have a good feeling about this game
BB's going to have to play Fultz To counter Rozier.
This is going the Celtics way thus far They should prefer a game in the 80s over a game in the 100s.
Rozier is for real yo
Who?
Stevens >>>>>>>Brown
This is the exact start I expected. Rusty as **** and the **** that got us by Miami isn't going to work as easily.
I’ll take Marcus smart isolations all day
Man they have no one who will stop Ben Simmons
Down 3 after 1 while shooting horrendously isn't bad at all. We won't keep shooting this poorly.
Rozier has come to punish us for years of memes
Rooting for you guys. Celtic fans are absolutely unbearable. (from a Bucks Fan)
Our shooters better start doing their damn job. They suck too badly defensively to be brickin it up dammit.
I don't wanna let Rozier hustle plays get the crowd going. We need to own the glass with our size.
We all know that was a shiity quarter for sixers standards, and we are only down 3. Should be an easy win moving forward
Tatum thinks he’s a star. He’s not.
Homecourtrefs they got
Celtics offensive game plan is basically to get our bad defenders on islands and shoot long 2s
Morris complains about every foul. By every single player.
Foul Baynes out and the games over.
I know it's early, but Celtics are showing why it is stupid to say this was going to be an easy series for the 76ers The Celtics are an excellent defensive team and they are a very balanced team. Pretty much everyone who plays significant minutes for them can score. And they are playing with a chip on their shoulder, since most everybody wrote them off
They are playing Celtics basketball. Great defense. Good offense. Play well against them or lose.
TNT announcer can't tell Marcus Morris from Marcus Smart?
Rozier looks really good. He is a problem
Have to give the Celts credit, that Rozier to Morris alley oop was very pretty Rozier is all over the place right now. He already has 5 rebounds
Personally, I think it’s the Earth’s axis; somehow it’s only affecting us.
Rozier out of his mother****ing mind right now,
He’s a pit bull, he will do this all game. Hopefully we can just use our length to disrupt him…
Gotta keep reminding myself we never led at half against the Heat either.
Rozier looks GOOD. Honestly given the fact that he plays defense I’m not sure it’s quite as huge a drop off from him to Kyrie as people think.
We're going to after overcome the coaching mismatch. And make no mistake it is a mismatch
Anderson was flopping before Smart was even near him.
Belinelli is not a great defensive player Boston should attack him.
Oh they are and will continue.
Beli guarding Horford was hillarious
Worth a participation trophy for the effort….
Is it me, or does Horford always kill the Sixers?
Redick cant guard Tatum at all
We can't continue the garbage turnovers, this isn't the Heat
Not sure Celts are missing much without Kyrie with how Rozier is playing.
Rozier is garbage, not sure I could handle losing to him
Boston is a deeper team without Kyrie and Hayward
McHale thinks this is a Celtics telecast
So far advantage Stevens. Step up Brett
The clock is struck midnight I've seen enough 4-1 Boston takes this series
I think beli and redick will be marginalized this series by Stevens because he’s smart. Sixers have to take advantage of mismatches. Brett has to adjust.
Can’t wait for a Terry Rozier vs LeBron ECF
Why is Ben on fat **** Marcus Smart. Its a travesty that ben is not guarding Tatum.
How is that not a foul on Smart????? My god these refs. He hit him so hard he reinjured his hand.
I’d rather smart be ok. He’s the only one bricking shots.
Ben has been passive
Boston's defense has cut off his driving lanes
Are you kidding me Baynes hits the 3
Rozier annoys me.
So annoying watching tatum
Ainge is just laughing! Fultz Lol
If Smart is done we might get a Nader sighting, and that generally means very bad things for the Celtics.
Tatum can win this series
This is what worries me about Rozier and Tatum, shooting great from 3 and they're strong dribble drive threats that break down the defense. They're better offensive players than what the Heat put out there. Cov can only guard one of them, Redick and Belinelli are getting killed by the other.
Sixers are in for a battle. Whoever said Sixers in 5, kiss that goodbye
Refs all from Southie
Celtics are playing good disciplined defense.
Why is a guy who shot 39 percent from 3 shooting an open 3?
Because the coach sucks?
The coaching disparity is pretty clear
This team ain’t ready. Pathetic. It’d be an entertaining game if we weren’t jacking up bricks and settling for 3’s and creating for each other.
This team has a ways to go. As you can see playing against Celtics backups
Why isn't that a technical on Tatum for hanging on the rim? No one was underneath him
Whitey Bulger Had all the refs brought in from Charlestown
Can you imagine if we had drafted Tatum instead of Fultz? I still have hope Fultz can develop his potential but man does Tatum look good in this first half.
I love tatum. Hate the Celtics, but I’ll give them credit. Dude is a stud.
Look at how the Celtics Move the ball vs us.
You have to give Fultz another chance this series he’s the number one pick. Man up get his crap together and go out there and defend Rozier. Don’t baby him
Embiid and Simmons are the only players on the team who actually are difficult to guard. Everyone else relies on defensive breakdowns and Simmons playmaking to get their points. That strategy is harder to execute against the best defense in the league.
Fultz is a mental midget, the Sixers are hiding him for a reason he would crack like an egg against the Celtics.
They r doing nothing but jacking 3s and making every jumper they take. Laughable. We beat them by 30 when we go to Philly
This is the series Fultz needs to come off the bench and give us a spark on offense and use his length to be active on defense....too bad he is mentally weak and wont be used.
The Celtics just beat a Bucks team that has a player that is dramatically better than anyone on the Sixers. Anyone who though a Sixers team that has 2 young, untested stars and a roster of average role players was going to run over the Celtics was drinking too much coolaid.
Yes smart. You’re a goooood shooter. Keep shooting.
Marcus Smart is our second best player right now
We will still win this game. The Celtics won't play like this forever.
Donaghy in disguise Has money on Celts
Without jaylen brown, or even with him, the talent disparity between the 2 teams is overwhelmingly in Philadelphia’s favor This will come down to coaching and execution
I hate the Colangelo’s but atleast they have the sense not to sit court side like that ass Ainge
Horford is dirty Watch how when he closes out on a three he always ends up under the guy’s legs.
Can someone please kidnap Kevin McHale and keep him locked up until the end of the series?
They're in trouble in this one if Smart is gonna be hitting 3s. He's a terrible shooter.
Baynes and Smart are hitting 3s? **** me.
I don't care how how they've been I don't want this bench nack next year. Bunch of mismatches for the Celtics everywhere.
Baynes is a ****ing 14% 3pt shooter and he's hit 2 from the wing.
I still think we got this game.
We can still win this game and the series should go at least six. But if we can’t beat them without Jaylen Brown, I no longer think we will win the series.
Big 2ND half coming. We got this.
Pfft it’s 11 points at half. We have played horrible. We always come out third quarter a different team. We got this!
Oh Smart got kicked in the balls and hurt his thumb?
Separately I would hope? (MY NOTE: )
Entire Celtics team is shooting unconscious
It helps that they have been wide open on the majority of the shot attempts
Considering the history of these two teams Am I wrong in thinking a pretty hard hit on Rozier to slow him down and shake him up a bit is a bad thing?
No, but you can do what Marcus Smart does to guys. Ride him hard and run him into screens.
Honestly ….. don’t even recognize our sixers. Starting off on the road in Boston Gardens is like playing in center court Wimbledon against Roger Federer.
Not much you can do when Baynes and Smart are shooting better from three then JJ and Beli.
Sixers cannot guard Horford
Some of y'all were waaayyy too confidant in this team. Lol at those saying we would spank them. This team is not ready for a playoff game in Boston against this talented roster and fantastic coach.
Embarrassing playing a weak team who is tired, starting a rookie, down it's 3 best players, and some dude named Baynes is trashing Embiid.
This game will be tied in 4th, I am sure of that. Than we just need to execute.
The only reason Fultz even played this year was because his head coach called him out in the media. he's content to sit on the bench for the entirety of the playoffs. Scared and zero desire to play
Sixers cant handle a real crowd
We 100% need Paul George/LeBron/Kawhi
Boston fans are going to be so boastful... To be honest they have a right to... Cs have come prepared...
Boston is playing around JoJo's rim protection really well. They haven't really challenged him at all.
Shane **** Larking hits a contested three. What is this.
Sixers watched to many pundits this week all picking them and believed they were going to just walk over this team.
I'm putting this on all the posters. The ones who made fun of the Bucks the other night. It’s karma.
Aron Baynes has made 2 three-pointers in this game. That's only one fewer than the 76ers have as a team
Baynes has hit 4 total three pointers in his career before tonight. That’s like putting your hands up to make sure Tinkerbell doesn’t score. You don’t need to defend against mythical beings.
Baynes, Smart and that other guy with no neck are making 3s. It's ridiculous. (MY NOTE: Semi?)
In 4 of 6 games so far, we’ve shot 25% or less from three. Its worrisome.
Hey look Someone for the Celtics is wide open
Shocked that Ed "Everyone in the NBA thinks he is the worst ref in the business" Malloy was given this game.
That is definitely not Ed malloy’s reputation
Not a rookie chants, that’s fantastic.
Not worried. Just wondering if maybe we missed on Tatum. (MY NOTE: You're "wondering"? What will it take for you to figure it out?)
The Celtics turn every game into a rock fight, but are literally incapable of pulling away and putting a team away. They have a trash offense, and they make sure you have a trash offense too
Horford is the main reason Boston is killing the Sixers tonight The guy cannot miss….or he gets fouled
Man, maybe the Bucks aren't that bad afterall. No KI, no GH, no Brown now Still playing well.
Marcus Smart's stupidity might allow the Sixers to get back into this. That possession was laughably awful.
His last name reminds me of when you call a fat guy "Tiny."
Tonight is why you get Le bron or Kawhi
If Boston keeps shooting like this forget this series they're going to win the finals
Damn Smart made a nice play there
The refs are losing this game
Wouldn't count the Sixers out. They are one hot streak and an even whistle away for a few minutes (good luck with that) from being right in the mix.
The whistle has been fine man, they’ve been blowing rotations and the C’s are on a heater tonight.
Johnny Most and Tommy Heinsohn Are the refs tonight
PHI has a 21-10 FT attempted edge Total fouls are 13-12. The refs are not the problem. Boston is winning because of 3 pt shooting.
We’re getting out-coached. Plain and simple. The game of basketball isn’t complicated. Get the highest percentage shots you can as often as you can. The Celtics are doing that by going to the mismatches. The Sixers are not doing it anywhere close to enough.
Yes, I can’t understand why BB doesn’t tell them to make the shots instead of missing. How hard is it for a coach to tell them that?
Not playing Fultz at all was a mistake. Brett needs to give them something different to defend
What besides Fultz terrible play last series possibly tells you he is the answer?
Good end to the third we will win.
Hats off to Marcus Smart. That guy is a warrior! I want him in Philly!
I double up. It will be a tie game in a 4th.
Taken twice as many FTs yet still down by DD
The Sixers are a 3 seed with no playoff experience, playing in a hostile building. People should not be shocked by the score right now.
The other team has even less playoff experience and missing 3 of its top 5 players and sixth man is hurt.
Not forget, Brown come back in game 2. This series gets hard.
Why is JJ still guarding Tatum
Would really be nice to get something from a guy we spent the #1 overall pick on and traded a lottery pick for.
Oh look. Redick getting abused again by Tatum. Hmmmm
He just mauled Embiid. No foul. They don’t need help refs.
I hate Rozier. I really do.
Rozier playing like a max player
Rozier is playing like they need to trade Kyrie for a big man.
The mistakes of Coleangelo the past 2 years are rearing their heads right now. Where's Bayless, Amir Johnson, Fultz, etc?! How the heck can you squander so much cap space and draft capital on guys who aren't even rotation worthy. Firing Hinkie is the worst thing that ever happened to the NBA
The Sixers are getting beat on mismatches because Belinelli and Redick aren’t good defenders, and Embiid is trying to protect the paint, but even the scrubs he is playing are hitting deep shots.
I wouldn't call the the Celtics bench and etc scrubs Boston is a solid team
Sixers have the type of offense that dies the further you get into the playoffs
We aren’t ready to go deep in the playoffs, our flaws are showing up big time. Was a nice run the past few months.
Gotta say, Simmons really shrunk in this game... Disappointed in his performance, wasn't expecting that
Let's not forget, Boston is the #2 seed with 55 wins for a reason. They didn't all the sudden become the Miami Heat overnight. Yes, Milwaukee took them to 7 games, but the Bucks weren't 5-47 from 3pt land either. Boston, without Hawyard and Irving, won 55 games.
Yeah. After Irving went down, they kept winning.
Embiid is so skilled...but man his intensity is non existent.
Obviously Celtics fans will be insufferable until Thursday, but I can see things going very differently in Game 2.
Hoping the Celtics have heavy legs at the end of the game.
9 out of 10 Utah dentists recommend Philadelphia Brand over Boston baked beans. So do it for us. In 4 or more. This ad sponsored by killtheleprechauns.UT.org ( from a Jazz fan)
Think about the courage of that lone dentist out there. Avoid assassination attempts, betrayed by his medicine field.
I’ve been praying all game that Marcus Morris keeps taking 19 footers.
So the Celtics can’t miss a three? That seems sustainable…
Never wear these red uniforms again.
Rozier should be taking difficult shots all the time.
7:41 left and we have Boston is in the penalty
I feel a run coming...
We've been to the line double more times than them
Rozier did a nice job getting JoJo t commit with juuust enough time on the clock. Pretty. I hate Rozier now.
HOW DO YOU LEAVE HORFORD
Boston is just playing better. Gotta give them credit and their coach.
Who the **** is defending Horford?!?!
What is Boston shooting for game. Goodness it has be like 60% or something.
Maybe someone should guard Horford.
They just hitting shots man Switching is not working, this team too disciplined
Got embarrassed, humbled and humiliated. I hope every Sixers fan who trolled and taunted Boston before a series feel humbled. Losing to Celtics without 3 best players is humiliating, and for now they can talk as much as they want.
Fultz sitting there thinking about his next emo IG post and if Boston has Chic-Fil-A nearby....while Tatum is dropping nearly 30 on us in a playoff game.
Well, he can’t put himself in the game, and he can’t shoot so he won’t play much.
This game can be chalked up to one simple thing: the crowd.
It's really not that impressive of a crowd. I've heard much louder.
As much as I hate the people of Boston, I didn't see one of them blowing defensive assignments.
Your're really underestimating the affect crowd noise has on player confidence. How many of those open 3s go in if this is in Philly?
It is very painful to not see a healthy fultz be able to get off the bench and have to watch Tatum have a solid game.
Imagine if the Celtics had Kyrie and Hayward
Just give the ball to Embiid and hope he can foul out the whole Celtics team.
We're getting a friendly whistle and have almost twice as many free throws. Go in side
It's not the 76ers, it's the Celtics. They're unconscious. I hope they keep trying these same shots in the next games. 8 different Celtics have hit 3s. You think that's normal? You think that's the 76ers? No.
Horrible freaking call by the refs, nothing new tonight
We get FT for the rest of the game
Tatum gets to grab Belinelli and throw him aside to get open?
Tatum is really good. Fultz is ?????
Rozier looks like Steph CUrry out there tonight, my God.
Well, they lost by 40 in game 1 in 82 and still won the series......
We could be using Tatum right now, we can't use Fultz...
Thing is this was def the best chance to win in Boston with Brown out.
Smart should stop trying to stick his face near people's elbows if he doesn't want to get hit.
You guys are awful. I forgot why I stopped coming here as much. It’s our 2nd loss in 22 games. In all likelihood we are still winning this series. The takes on this forum are so bad
Fultz trade looking worse each day.
People laugh, but winning the SB was important because we almost never beat this **** city.
I feel confident in saying is the most difficult playoff environment this team has played in.
Brown returning is going to exacerbate the wing dilemma. Brown will just take J.J to the post and destroy him.
This Celtics team is just as young and vulnerable as the Sixers. They played much different in Milwaukee than they did Boston. They will struggle in Philly too.
No need to subject Fultz to Boston fans jeering him. Good call by Brown not playing him. Fultz isn’t worthy of playing anyway.
There was a guy on here that argued with me just this past summer, that TJ McConnell was a better player Terry Rozier because of Rozier's TS%. Funny then. Sad now.
Fultz isn’t good enough to play. Why play a lesser player?
Celtics rocked us on defense. Brown needs to win this series for us and not get out coached by Stevens.
We could leave Rozier open all game in game 2 and he ain't sniffing 7/9 from 3. Such an annoying hot streak he is on.
Rozier is unquestionably a top 10 PG and arguably better than Kyrie Irving. I hate the Celtics, that's just reality...
Will be out of the league if he ever leaves Stevens.
The fact that the Sixers are shooting 21% from 3 and only down 12 is a testament to something I’m just not sure what.
It's more a thing that Boston has seemingly made every shot in their history against the 76ers And managed to not have a 400 point lead
Are Baynes and Rozier going to the 3pt challenge next year? Or are they only hitting this hilarious shit when they play against us?
LOL Rozier is 75% from 3 tonight
I feel pretty confident in saying that this shooting performance by Boston tonight is the exception, not the norm. I fully expect things to regress closer to the mean as this series plays out.
How's your confidence in the 76ers defense being an exception
We deserve to lose this game Good game Celtics, you don’t need Kyrie. Rozier is Kyrie lite.
Hey let's call a foul 17 years, 3 months, 29 days, 11 hours, 12 minutes and 42 seconds after the shot is missed
Remember the good old days... When we used to laugh about Ainge not wanting to trade Rozier
Makes me wonder what will happen next year with Boston. Will Rozier be happy to give minutes back to Kyrie? Will Tatum and/or Brown be happy to give minutes up to Hayward? Can see them making a trade to get a young big guy who can guard the paint.
Brown ... Out coached. The players change but Brad Stevens is the constant. Chewing up the Sixers game plan all year.
Guaranteed to hear... "Shots that were falling in Game 1 are not falling tonight".
Brett was crowing how he loves preparing for the games, and what is scary is the result tonight.
Stevens is a grea5 coach and he gets the most out of his players and his D concepts AR amazing
The Sixers shot 22.6% and 25.0%, respectively, from three-point range in the final 2 games of the Heat series So it’s possible they could have more lousy shooting nights from behind the arc in this series. Especially since the Celtics have the best 3P defense in the entire NBA.

@KyleNeubeck
“It was okay,” Embiid says of the Boston atmosphere. “Our fans are louder than that.”
8:18 PM - Apr 30, 2018
224
32 people are talking about this
Love Embiid, but I could care less who's crowd is louder....you just got smoked....
Too much trolling and smack talk from Joel....Let's win a championship first.
That is dumb of Embiid to say. Fans will be going out of their way to prove him wrong G2
Even if he's not bothered by the crowd, the rest of his team clearly is. Not doing his team any favors to egg them on.
Now's not the time to rag on Fultz. Who the hell knew he was going to suffer from severe anxiety and forget how to shoot? Anxiety is a serious problem. It really messed up Brandon Brooks a couple years ago. He will work to get himself right and become a great player for us. Right now he's not ready. There are a lot of reasons the Sixers lost tonight's game-a game they were favored in, and none of them had to do with Markelle Fultz.
Jayson Tatum just destroyed Philly both ends and you honestly think it had NOTHING to do with fultz? Coleangelo was miles off on his assessment.... What happened tonight was a disgrace...
There's a reason 83% of Game 1 winners win the series.... Its because they are the better team...I hate the Celts so it pains me to say this... But the 76ers are in huge trouble right now... They had no answer all night long

My expectations ARe that we Lose one in Boston. Embiid and Ismmons will get frustrated at some of the defensive looks that Stevens throws at them. Similar to the heat’s strategy, but with better players.
I expect this to be a 6 game series only because Stevens coaching ability.
I think we're gonna spank the Celtics in 5, maybe even sweep. They just won't have the firepower to keep up with us
Love lurking on the Celtics board. The insecurity and fear of us is real. We came up overnight and they just can't handle it lol, I love it! Sixers in 6 at the latest
This is going to be a good series but I just don't see the C's winning more than 2 games with their current rotation. Fully confident going in...
I would love if we will be able to sweep them so that we can say that their great Brad Stevens was not able to squeek atleast 1 game to a supposedly inferior coach.
This should be a 4 game sweep. Maybe Boston gets one at home.... Maybe.
THey will be clutching and grabbing and hand checking and everything else they can get away with. From what I've seen so far this playoffs the refs refuse to call fouls on guys mugging the ball handlers. If that remains true, this will go a couple extra games unfortunately. If they call it tight, it should be 4 or 5 games.
Baynes and Horford wont be able to challenge Biid vertically. Biid used to have a tough time on Theis.
If Jaylen Brown is injured, this should be a clean sweep by double digits every game.
This is Stevens one shot to beat the sixers. By next year Simmons and Joel will be more developed, James will be here, etc. So if he can't beat us this year, they should really replace him, since he'll have missed his best shot lol
Without Brown game one should be a damn blowout. I wanted Milwaukee because I think the Sixers would have swept them EZ. But now that its Boston.....mmmmmm. The Bill Simmons tears are going to be mighty tasty.
I feel like we lose this one due to rust and not being ready for the higher intensity
I don’t know how Fultz will fare in a hostile environment in Boston. I say play him. If he can play well with fans jeering him he will show me a little something.
It took them 7 games to beat a 7th seed bucks team that plays horrible basketball. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Sixers sweep them. If browns out tonight it will be a double digit win. (MY NOTE: He's right, it was a double-digit win. Heheh)
Smart is trash against everybody except us
76ers in 6. I'm concerned about rust in game 1. Turnovers against more persistent defense (Smart) and the possibility of a couple hot shooting games from the 3 point line from Tatum and Horford.
Going to have to win by 10-15 points. If it comes down to a close game the Celtics will get all the calls. This is their home court advantage.
The Sixers will definitely get a few BS calls against them from Marcus Smart flopping.
Brown is out, hopefully we can steal this game.
Not so excited now Jaylen Brown is out. Its like playing the Heat but Dragic opts to sit out lol
Their catch phrase for this series is "Beat PhiLA" So we've become a team good enough to have opposing fan bases chant "Beat" before us now. We've officially made it, folks!
I feel like tonight is what "The PRocess" was all about. You don't tank for three seasons to win 50 games. You don't tank for three seasons to win one playoff series vs. A non contender. You tank for three seasons so you can say "big deal" during the three seasons you lose and "HAHAHAHAHAHA" when for the next decade you kick the everliving dog $h******* out of the hated Celtics.
Damn Kevin McHale calling
Sucks about all the injuries for Boston, but we can't do anything but play who is in front of us. Get the W!
Expect this **** to get violent tonight. Horford, Smart, Baynes, Morris....these guys play physical. They're gonna try to body Embiid and Simmons.
Smart starting. Interesting.
This Celtics starting lineup is barely playoff caliber. We need to win this.
The Celtics should not be underestimated but when about half your cap space is hurt there’s only so much that can be done. They have a good system and were the 2nd seed, but still only barely got by the very poorly coached Bucks.
I so badly want the Sixers to crush them tonight, 40 pts+. Rip their damn hearts out.
Boston will be more ready because they have yet to rest. But wait util the 2nd quarter. I just don’t see the Celtics transition defense stopping the 76ers.
Boston really struggles with running teams Might be hard for Celtics to keep up
Sixers in four and As always Losers blame refs
McHale already sounding like a homer.
Wtf we stink
Jayson Tatum is so nice. Would have been nice to just take him at #3. (MY NOTE: Oh, this is just too funny)
Tatum looks pretty good
Started off rusty, but the Sixers defense is quite good and I think Boston will struggle to score against us. We'll get warmed up as the game goes on.
We're playing like trash and still ahead. We're just better than this crippled Celtics team.
Stevens isnt doin them a favor with the baynes/horford lineup...allows jojo to stay inside on d
Bad call. I'll take it. Morris didn't touch Covington lol
This is why I wanted Milwaukee Boston has too many athletes are us it appears
You have the Celtics who aren't going to give open 3's, like ever... Then Philly has the Simmons/Embiid/Cov trio of defenders against a team who cant score who is missing their best playoff scorer in jaylen brown.
4-14 but up one, I have a good feeling about this game
BB's going to have to play Fultz To counter Rozier.
This is going the Celtics way thus far They should prefer a game in the 80s over a game in the 100s.
Rozier is for real yo
Who?
Stevens >>>>>>>Brown
This is the exact start I expected. Rusty as **** and the **** that got us by Miami isn't going to work as easily.
I’ll take Marcus smart isolations all day
Man they have no one who will stop Ben Simmons
Down 3 after 1 while shooting horrendously isn't bad at all. We won't keep shooting this poorly.
Rozier has come to punish us for years of memes
Rooting for you guys. Celtic fans are absolutely unbearable. (from a Bucks Fan)
Our shooters better start doing their damn job. They suck too badly defensively to be brickin it up dammit.
I don't wanna let Rozier hustle plays get the crowd going. We need to own the glass with our size.
We all know that was a shiity quarter for sixers standards, and we are only down 3. Should be an easy win moving forward
Tatum thinks he’s a star. He’s not.
Homecourtrefs they got
Celtics offensive game plan is basically to get our bad defenders on islands and shoot long 2s
Morris complains about every foul. By every single player.
Foul Baynes out and the games over.
I know it's early, but Celtics are showing why it is stupid to say this was going to be an easy series for the 76ers The Celtics are an excellent defensive team and they are a very balanced team. Pretty much everyone who plays significant minutes for them can score. And they are playing with a chip on their shoulder, since most everybody wrote them off
They are playing Celtics basketball. Great defense. Good offense. Play well against them or lose.
TNT announcer can't tell Marcus Morris from Marcus Smart?
Rozier looks really good. He is a problem
Have to give the Celts credit, that Rozier to Morris alley oop was very pretty Rozier is all over the place right now. He already has 5 rebounds
Personally, I think it’s the Earth’s axis; somehow it’s only affecting us.
Rozier out of his mother****ing mind right now,
He’s a pit bull, he will do this all game. Hopefully we can just use our length to disrupt him…
Gotta keep reminding myself we never led at half against the Heat either.
Rozier looks GOOD. Honestly given the fact that he plays defense I’m not sure it’s quite as huge a drop off from him to Kyrie as people think.
We're going to after overcome the coaching mismatch. And make no mistake it is a mismatch
Anderson was flopping before Smart was even near him.
Belinelli is not a great defensive player Boston should attack him.
Oh they are and will continue.
Beli guarding Horford was hillarious
Worth a participation trophy for the effort….
Is it me, or does Horford always kill the Sixers?
Redick cant guard Tatum at all
We can't continue the garbage turnovers, this isn't the Heat
Not sure Celts are missing much without Kyrie with how Rozier is playing.
Rozier is garbage, not sure I could handle losing to him
Boston is a deeper team without Kyrie and Hayward
McHale thinks this is a Celtics telecast
So far advantage Stevens. Step up Brett
The clock is struck midnight I've seen enough 4-1 Boston takes this series
I think beli and redick will be marginalized this series by Stevens because he’s smart. Sixers have to take advantage of mismatches. Brett has to adjust.
Can’t wait for a Terry Rozier vs LeBron ECF
Why is Ben on fat **** Marcus Smart. Its a travesty that ben is not guarding Tatum.
How is that not a foul on Smart????? My god these refs. He hit him so hard he reinjured his hand.
I’d rather smart be ok. He’s the only one bricking shots.
Ben has been passive
Boston's defense has cut off his driving lanes
Are you kidding me Baynes hits the 3
Rozier annoys me.
So annoying watching tatum
Ainge is just laughing! Fultz Lol
If Smart is done we might get a Nader sighting, and that generally means very bad things for the Celtics.
Tatum can win this series
This is what worries me about Rozier and Tatum, shooting great from 3 and they're strong dribble drive threats that break down the defense. They're better offensive players than what the Heat put out there. Cov can only guard one of them, Redick and Belinelli are getting killed by the other.
Sixers are in for a battle. Whoever said Sixers in 5, kiss that goodbye
Refs all from Southie
Celtics are playing good disciplined defense.
Why is a guy who shot 39 percent from 3 shooting an open 3?
Because the coach sucks?
The coaching disparity is pretty clear
This team ain’t ready. Pathetic. It’d be an entertaining game if we weren’t jacking up bricks and settling for 3’s and creating for each other.
This team has a ways to go. As you can see playing against Celtics backups
Why isn't that a technical on Tatum for hanging on the rim? No one was underneath him
Whitey Bulger Had all the refs brought in from Charlestown
Can you imagine if we had drafted Tatum instead of Fultz? I still have hope Fultz can develop his potential but man does Tatum look good in this first half.
I love tatum. Hate the Celtics, but I’ll give them credit. Dude is a stud.
Look at how the Celtics Move the ball vs us.
You have to give Fultz another chance this series he’s the number one pick. Man up get his crap together and go out there and defend Rozier. Don’t baby him
Embiid and Simmons are the only players on the team who actually are difficult to guard. Everyone else relies on defensive breakdowns and Simmons playmaking to get their points. That strategy is harder to execute against the best defense in the league.
Fultz is a mental midget, the Sixers are hiding him for a reason he would crack like an egg against the Celtics.
They r doing nothing but jacking 3s and making every jumper they take. Laughable. We beat them by 30 when we go to Philly
This is the series Fultz needs to come off the bench and give us a spark on offense and use his length to be active on defense....too bad he is mentally weak and wont be used.
The Celtics just beat a Bucks team that has a player that is dramatically better than anyone on the Sixers. Anyone who though a Sixers team that has 2 young, untested stars and a roster of average role players was going to run over the Celtics was drinking too much coolaid.
Yes smart. You’re a goooood shooter. Keep shooting.
Marcus Smart is our second best player right now
We will still win this game. The Celtics won't play like this forever.
Donaghy in disguise Has money on Celts
Without jaylen brown, or even with him, the talent disparity between the 2 teams is overwhelmingly in Philadelphia’s favor This will come down to coaching and execution
I hate the Colangelo’s but atleast they have the sense not to sit court side like that ass Ainge
Horford is dirty Watch how when he closes out on a three he always ends up under the guy’s legs.
Can someone please kidnap Kevin McHale and keep him locked up until the end of the series?
They're in trouble in this one if Smart is gonna be hitting 3s. He's a terrible shooter.
Baynes and Smart are hitting 3s? **** me.
I don't care how how they've been I don't want this bench nack next year. Bunch of mismatches for the Celtics everywhere.
Baynes is a ****ing 14% 3pt shooter and he's hit 2 from the wing.
I still think we got this game.
We can still win this game and the series should go at least six. But if we can’t beat them without Jaylen Brown, I no longer think we will win the series.
Big 2ND half coming. We got this.
Pfft it’s 11 points at half. We have played horrible. We always come out third quarter a different team. We got this!
Oh Smart got kicked in the balls and hurt his thumb?
Separately I would hope? (MY NOTE: )
Entire Celtics team is shooting unconscious
It helps that they have been wide open on the majority of the shot attempts
Considering the history of these two teams Am I wrong in thinking a pretty hard hit on Rozier to slow him down and shake him up a bit is a bad thing?
No, but you can do what Marcus Smart does to guys. Ride him hard and run him into screens.
Honestly ….. don’t even recognize our sixers. Starting off on the road in Boston Gardens is like playing in center court Wimbledon against Roger Federer.
Not much you can do when Baynes and Smart are shooting better from three then JJ and Beli.
Sixers cannot guard Horford
Some of y'all were waaayyy too confidant in this team. Lol at those saying we would spank them. This team is not ready for a playoff game in Boston against this talented roster and fantastic coach.
Embarrassing playing a weak team who is tired, starting a rookie, down it's 3 best players, and some dude named Baynes is trashing Embiid.
This game will be tied in 4th, I am sure of that. Than we just need to execute.
The only reason Fultz even played this year was because his head coach called him out in the media. he's content to sit on the bench for the entirety of the playoffs. Scared and zero desire to play
Sixers cant handle a real crowd
We 100% need Paul George/LeBron/Kawhi
Boston fans are going to be so boastful... To be honest they have a right to... Cs have come prepared...
Boston is playing around JoJo's rim protection really well. They haven't really challenged him at all.
Shane **** Larking hits a contested three. What is this.
Sixers watched to many pundits this week all picking them and believed they were going to just walk over this team.
I'm putting this on all the posters. The ones who made fun of the Bucks the other night. It’s karma.
Aron Baynes has made 2 three-pointers in this game. That's only one fewer than the 76ers have as a team
Baynes has hit 4 total three pointers in his career before tonight. That’s like putting your hands up to make sure Tinkerbell doesn’t score. You don’t need to defend against mythical beings.
Baynes, Smart and that other guy with no neck are making 3s. It's ridiculous. (MY NOTE: Semi?)
In 4 of 6 games so far, we’ve shot 25% or less from three. Its worrisome.
Hey look Someone for the Celtics is wide open
Shocked that Ed "Everyone in the NBA thinks he is the worst ref in the business" Malloy was given this game.
That is definitely not Ed malloy’s reputation
Not a rookie chants, that’s fantastic.
Not worried. Just wondering if maybe we missed on Tatum. (MY NOTE: You're "wondering"? What will it take for you to figure it out?)
The Celtics turn every game into a rock fight, but are literally incapable of pulling away and putting a team away. They have a trash offense, and they make sure you have a trash offense too
Horford is the main reason Boston is killing the Sixers tonight The guy cannot miss….or he gets fouled
Man, maybe the Bucks aren't that bad afterall. No KI, no GH, no Brown now Still playing well.
Marcus Smart's stupidity might allow the Sixers to get back into this. That possession was laughably awful.
His last name reminds me of when you call a fat guy "Tiny."
Tonight is why you get Le bron or Kawhi
If Boston keeps shooting like this forget this series they're going to win the finals
Damn Smart made a nice play there
The refs are losing this game
Wouldn't count the Sixers out. They are one hot streak and an even whistle away for a few minutes (good luck with that) from being right in the mix.
The whistle has been fine man, they’ve been blowing rotations and the C’s are on a heater tonight.
Johnny Most and Tommy Heinsohn Are the refs tonight
PHI has a 21-10 FT attempted edge Total fouls are 13-12. The refs are not the problem. Boston is winning because of 3 pt shooting.
We’re getting out-coached. Plain and simple. The game of basketball isn’t complicated. Get the highest percentage shots you can as often as you can. The Celtics are doing that by going to the mismatches. The Sixers are not doing it anywhere close to enough.
Yes, I can’t understand why BB doesn’t tell them to make the shots instead of missing. How hard is it for a coach to tell them that?
Not playing Fultz at all was a mistake. Brett needs to give them something different to defend
What besides Fultz terrible play last series possibly tells you he is the answer?
Good end to the third we will win.
Hats off to Marcus Smart. That guy is a warrior! I want him in Philly!
I double up. It will be a tie game in a 4th.
Taken twice as many FTs yet still down by DD
The Sixers are a 3 seed with no playoff experience, playing in a hostile building. People should not be shocked by the score right now.
The other team has even less playoff experience and missing 3 of its top 5 players and sixth man is hurt.
Not forget, Brown come back in game 2. This series gets hard.
Why is JJ still guarding Tatum
Would really be nice to get something from a guy we spent the #1 overall pick on and traded a lottery pick for.
Oh look. Redick getting abused again by Tatum. Hmmmm
He just mauled Embiid. No foul. They don’t need help refs.
I hate Rozier. I really do.
Rozier playing like a max player
Rozier is playing like they need to trade Kyrie for a big man.
The mistakes of Coleangelo the past 2 years are rearing their heads right now. Where's Bayless, Amir Johnson, Fultz, etc?! How the heck can you squander so much cap space and draft capital on guys who aren't even rotation worthy. Firing Hinkie is the worst thing that ever happened to the NBA
The Sixers are getting beat on mismatches because Belinelli and Redick aren’t good defenders, and Embiid is trying to protect the paint, but even the scrubs he is playing are hitting deep shots.
I wouldn't call the the Celtics bench and etc scrubs Boston is a solid team
Sixers have the type of offense that dies the further you get into the playoffs
We aren’t ready to go deep in the playoffs, our flaws are showing up big time. Was a nice run the past few months.
Gotta say, Simmons really shrunk in this game... Disappointed in his performance, wasn't expecting that
Let's not forget, Boston is the #2 seed with 55 wins for a reason. They didn't all the sudden become the Miami Heat overnight. Yes, Milwaukee took them to 7 games, but the Bucks weren't 5-47 from 3pt land either. Boston, without Hawyard and Irving, won 55 games.
Yeah. After Irving went down, they kept winning.
Embiid is so skilled...but man his intensity is non existent.
Obviously Celtics fans will be insufferable until Thursday, but I can see things going very differently in Game 2.
Hoping the Celtics have heavy legs at the end of the game.
9 out of 10 Utah dentists recommend Philadelphia Brand over Boston baked beans. So do it for us. In 4 or more. This ad sponsored by killtheleprechauns.UT.org ( from a Jazz fan)
Think about the courage of that lone dentist out there. Avoid assassination attempts, betrayed by his medicine field.
I’ve been praying all game that Marcus Morris keeps taking 19 footers.
So the Celtics can’t miss a three? That seems sustainable…
Never wear these red uniforms again.
Rozier should be taking difficult shots all the time.
7:41 left and we have Boston is in the penalty
I feel a run coming...
We've been to the line double more times than them
Rozier did a nice job getting JoJo t commit with juuust enough time on the clock. Pretty. I hate Rozier now.
HOW DO YOU LEAVE HORFORD
Boston is just playing better. Gotta give them credit and their coach.
Who the **** is defending Horford?!?!
What is Boston shooting for game. Goodness it has be like 60% or something.
Maybe someone should guard Horford.
They just hitting shots man Switching is not working, this team too disciplined
Got embarrassed, humbled and humiliated. I hope every Sixers fan who trolled and taunted Boston before a series feel humbled. Losing to Celtics without 3 best players is humiliating, and for now they can talk as much as they want.
Fultz sitting there thinking about his next emo IG post and if Boston has Chic-Fil-A nearby....while Tatum is dropping nearly 30 on us in a playoff game.
Well, he can’t put himself in the game, and he can’t shoot so he won’t play much.
This game can be chalked up to one simple thing: the crowd.
It's really not that impressive of a crowd. I've heard much louder.
As much as I hate the people of Boston, I didn't see one of them blowing defensive assignments.
Your're really underestimating the affect crowd noise has on player confidence. How many of those open 3s go in if this is in Philly?
It is very painful to not see a healthy fultz be able to get off the bench and have to watch Tatum have a solid game.
Imagine if the Celtics had Kyrie and Hayward
Just give the ball to Embiid and hope he can foul out the whole Celtics team.
We're getting a friendly whistle and have almost twice as many free throws. Go in side
It's not the 76ers, it's the Celtics. They're unconscious. I hope they keep trying these same shots in the next games. 8 different Celtics have hit 3s. You think that's normal? You think that's the 76ers? No.
Horrible freaking call by the refs, nothing new tonight
We get FT for the rest of the game
Tatum gets to grab Belinelli and throw him aside to get open?
Tatum is really good. Fultz is ?????
Rozier looks like Steph CUrry out there tonight, my God.
Well, they lost by 40 in game 1 in 82 and still won the series......
We could be using Tatum right now, we can't use Fultz...
Thing is this was def the best chance to win in Boston with Brown out.
Smart should stop trying to stick his face near people's elbows if he doesn't want to get hit.
You guys are awful. I forgot why I stopped coming here as much. It’s our 2nd loss in 22 games. In all likelihood we are still winning this series. The takes on this forum are so bad
Fultz trade looking worse each day.
People laugh, but winning the SB was important because we almost never beat this **** city.
I feel confident in saying is the most difficult playoff environment this team has played in.
Brown returning is going to exacerbate the wing dilemma. Brown will just take J.J to the post and destroy him.
This Celtics team is just as young and vulnerable as the Sixers. They played much different in Milwaukee than they did Boston. They will struggle in Philly too.
No need to subject Fultz to Boston fans jeering him. Good call by Brown not playing him. Fultz isn’t worthy of playing anyway.
There was a guy on here that argued with me just this past summer, that TJ McConnell was a better player Terry Rozier because of Rozier's TS%. Funny then. Sad now.
Fultz isn’t good enough to play. Why play a lesser player?
Celtics rocked us on defense. Brown needs to win this series for us and not get out coached by Stevens.
We could leave Rozier open all game in game 2 and he ain't sniffing 7/9 from 3. Such an annoying hot streak he is on.
Rozier is unquestionably a top 10 PG and arguably better than Kyrie Irving. I hate the Celtics, that's just reality...
Will be out of the league if he ever leaves Stevens.
The fact that the Sixers are shooting 21% from 3 and only down 12 is a testament to something I’m just not sure what.
It's more a thing that Boston has seemingly made every shot in their history against the 76ers And managed to not have a 400 point lead
Are Baynes and Rozier going to the 3pt challenge next year? Or are they only hitting this hilarious shit when they play against us?
LOL Rozier is 75% from 3 tonight
I feel pretty confident in saying that this shooting performance by Boston tonight is the exception, not the norm. I fully expect things to regress closer to the mean as this series plays out.
How's your confidence in the 76ers defense being an exception
We deserve to lose this game Good game Celtics, you don’t need Kyrie. Rozier is Kyrie lite.
Hey let's call a foul 17 years, 3 months, 29 days, 11 hours, 12 minutes and 42 seconds after the shot is missed
Remember the good old days... When we used to laugh about Ainge not wanting to trade Rozier
Makes me wonder what will happen next year with Boston. Will Rozier be happy to give minutes back to Kyrie? Will Tatum and/or Brown be happy to give minutes up to Hayward? Can see them making a trade to get a young big guy who can guard the paint.
Brown ... Out coached. The players change but Brad Stevens is the constant. Chewing up the Sixers game plan all year.
Guaranteed to hear... "Shots that were falling in Game 1 are not falling tonight".
Brett was crowing how he loves preparing for the games, and what is scary is the result tonight.
Stevens is a grea5 coach and he gets the most out of his players and his D concepts AR amazing
The Sixers shot 22.6% and 25.0%, respectively, from three-point range in the final 2 games of the Heat series So it’s possible they could have more lousy shooting nights from behind the arc in this series. Especially since the Celtics have the best 3P defense in the entire NBA.

@KyleNeubeck
“It was okay,” Embiid says of the Boston atmosphere. “Our fans are louder than that.”
8:18 PM - Apr 30, 2018
224
32 people are talking about this
Love Embiid, but I could care less who's crowd is louder....you just got smoked....
Too much trolling and smack talk from Joel....Let's win a championship first.
That is dumb of Embiid to say. Fans will be going out of their way to prove him wrong G2
Even if he's not bothered by the crowd, the rest of his team clearly is. Not doing his team any favors to egg them on.
Now's not the time to rag on Fultz. Who the hell knew he was going to suffer from severe anxiety and forget how to shoot? Anxiety is a serious problem. It really messed up Brandon Brooks a couple years ago. He will work to get himself right and become a great player for us. Right now he's not ready. There are a lot of reasons the Sixers lost tonight's game-a game they were favored in, and none of them had to do with Markelle Fultz.
Jayson Tatum just destroyed Philly both ends and you honestly think it had NOTHING to do with fultz? Coleangelo was miles off on his assessment.... What happened tonight was a disgrace...
There's a reason 83% of Game 1 winners win the series.... Its because they are the better team...I hate the Celts so it pains me to say this... But the 76ers are in huge trouble right now... They had no answer all night long

Re: Comments From The Other Side - vs Philly, Game 1 Playoff Semis
I always find it interesting how sure some fans are that the Sixers (or the Celtics) will win. Both teams are in rebuild mode and do not have much history to rely on,so much is unknown. Which player will rise or cave under the pressure of a playoff game, has often been the difference. It is almost like trying to predict how a college player will transition into the pros.
I have no idea on the outcome of this series, but am certainly enjoying the ride. I mentioned to someone the other day that since I have no expectations this year that it is somehow less stressful, and enjoyable to watch. When watching the Celtics in the mid to late 80s, if they lost when I expected them to win, it was painful.

Re: Comments From The Other Side - vs Philly, Game 1 Playoff Semis
I feel philly has a pretty good team but listening to their fans on here they think this team is the shit! Not hardly and no where close to being great. With what we have now and what we have coming back, unless they get Lebron or someone of that ilk, they'll still be chasing us.bobheckler wrote:http://celticsgreen.blogspot.com/2018/05/comments-from-other-side-76ers-game1.html

My expectations ARe that we Lose one in Boston. Embiid and Ismmons will get frustrated at some of the defensive looks that Stevens throws at them. Similar to the heat’s strategy, but with better players.
I expect this to be a 6 game series only because Stevens coaching ability.
I think we're gonna spank the Celtics in 5, maybe even sweep. They just won't have the firepower to keep up with us
Love lurking on the Celtics board. The insecurity and fear of us is real. We came up overnight and they just can't handle it lol, I love it! Sixers in 6 at the latest
This is going to be a good series but I just don't see the C's winning more than 2 games with their current rotation. Fully confident going in...
I would love if we will be able to sweep them so that we can say that their great Brad Stevens was not able to squeek atleast 1 game to a supposedly inferior coach.
This should be a 4 game sweep. Maybe Boston gets one at home.... Maybe.
THey will be clutching and grabbing and hand checking and everything else they can get away with. From what I've seen so far this playoffs the refs refuse to call fouls on guys mugging the ball handlers. If that remains true, this will go a couple extra games unfortunately. If they call it tight, it should be 4 or 5 games.
Baynes and Horford wont be able to challenge Biid vertically. Biid used to have a tough time on Theis.
If Jaylen Brown is injured, this should be a clean sweep by double digits every game.
This is Stevens one shot to beat the sixers. By next year Simmons and Joel will be more developed, James will be here, etc. So if he can't beat us this year, they should really replace him, since he'll have missed his best shot lol
Without Brown game one should be a damn blowout. I wanted Milwaukee because I think the Sixers would have swept them EZ. But now that its Boston.....mmmmmm. The Bill Simmons tears are going to be mighty tasty.
I feel like we lose this one due to rust and not being ready for the higher intensity
I don’t know how Fultz will fare in a hostile environment in Boston. I say play him. If he can play well with fans jeering him he will show me a little something.
It took them 7 games to beat a 7th seed bucks team that plays horrible basketball. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Sixers sweep them. If browns out tonight it will be a double digit win. (MY NOTE: He's right, it was a double-digit win. Heheh)
Smart is trash against everybody except us
76ers in 6. I'm concerned about rust in game 1. Turnovers against more persistent defense (Smart) and the possibility of a couple hot shooting games from the 3 point line from Tatum and Horford.
Going to have to win by 10-15 points. If it comes down to a close game the Celtics will get all the calls. This is their home court advantage.
The Sixers will definitely get a few BS calls against them from Marcus Smart flopping.
Brown is out, hopefully we can steal this game.
Not so excited now Jaylen Brown is out. Its like playing the Heat but Dragic opts to sit out lol
Their catch phrase for this series is "Beat PhiLA" So we've become a team good enough to have opposing fan bases chant "Beat" before us now. We've officially made it, folks!
I feel like tonight is what "The PRocess" was all about. You don't tank for three seasons to win 50 games. You don't tank for three seasons to win one playoff series vs. A non contender. You tank for three seasons so you can say "big deal" during the three seasons you lose and "HAHAHAHAHAHA" when for the next decade you kick the everliving dog $h******* out of the hated Celtics.
Damn Kevin McHale calling
Sucks about all the injuries for Boston, but we can't do anything but play who is in front of us. Get the W!
Expect this **** to get violent tonight. Horford, Smart, Baynes, Morris....these guys play physical. They're gonna try to body Embiid and Simmons.
Smart starting. Interesting.
This Celtics starting lineup is barely playoff caliber. We need to win this.
The Celtics should not be underestimated but when about half your cap space is hurt there’s only so much that can be done. They have a good system and were the 2nd seed, but still only barely got by the very poorly coached Bucks.
I so badly want the Sixers to crush them tonight, 40 pts+. Rip their damn hearts out.
Boston will be more ready because they have yet to rest. But wait util the 2nd quarter. I just don’t see the Celtics transition defense stopping the 76ers.
Boston really struggles with running teams Might be hard for Celtics to keep up
Sixers in four and As always Losers blame refs
McHale already sounding like a homer.
Wtf we stink
Jayson Tatum is so nice. Would have been nice to just take him at #3. (MY NOTE: Oh, this is just too funny)
Tatum looks pretty good
Started off rusty, but the Sixers defense is quite good and I think Boston will struggle to score against us. We'll get warmed up as the game goes on.
We're playing like trash and still ahead. We're just better than this crippled Celtics team.
Stevens isnt doin them a favor with the baynes/horford lineup...allows jojo to stay inside on d
Bad call. I'll take it. Morris didn't touch Covington lol
This is why I wanted Milwaukee Boston has too many athletes are us it appears
You have the Celtics who aren't going to give open 3's, like ever... Then Philly has the Simmons/Embiid/Cov trio of defenders against a team who cant score who is missing their best playoff scorer in jaylen brown.
4-14 but up one, I have a good feeling about this game
BB's going to have to play Fultz To counter Rozier.
This is going the Celtics way thus far They should prefer a game in the 80s over a game in the 100s.
Rozier is for real yo
Who?
Stevens >>>>>>>Brown
This is the exact start I expected. Rusty as **** and the **** that got us by Miami isn't going to work as easily.
I’ll take Marcus smart isolations all day
Man they have no one who will stop Ben Simmons
Down 3 after 1 while shooting horrendously isn't bad at all. We won't keep shooting this poorly.
Rozier has come to punish us for years of memes
Rooting for you guys. Celtic fans are absolutely unbearable. (from a Bucks Fan)
Our shooters better start doing their damn job. They suck too badly defensively to be brickin it up dammit.
I don't wanna let Rozier hustle plays get the crowd going. We need to own the glass with our size.
We all know that was a shiity quarter for sixers standards, and we are only down 3. Should be an easy win moving forward
Tatum thinks he’s a star. He’s not.
Homecourtrefs they got
Celtics offensive game plan is basically to get our bad defenders on islands and shoot long 2s
Morris complains about every foul. By every single player.
Foul Baynes out and the games over.
I know it's early, but Celtics are showing why it is stupid to say this was going to be an easy series for the 76ers The Celtics are an excellent defensive team and they are a very balanced team. Pretty much everyone who plays significant minutes for them can score. And they are playing with a chip on their shoulder, since most everybody wrote them off
They are playing Celtics basketball. Great defense. Good offense. Play well against them or lose.
TNT announcer can't tell Marcus Morris from Marcus Smart?
Rozier looks really good. He is a problem
Have to give the Celts credit, that Rozier to Morris alley oop was very pretty Rozier is all over the place right now. He already has 5 rebounds
Personally, I think it’s the Earth’s axis; somehow it’s only affecting us.
Rozier out of his mother****ing mind right now,
He’s a pit bull, he will do this all game. Hopefully we can just use our length to disrupt him…
Gotta keep reminding myself we never led at half against the Heat either.
Rozier looks GOOD. Honestly given the fact that he plays defense I’m not sure it’s quite as huge a drop off from him to Kyrie as people think.
We're going to after overcome the coaching mismatch. And make no mistake it is a mismatch
Anderson was flopping before Smart was even near him.
Belinelli is not a great defensive player Boston should attack him.
Oh they are and will continue.
Beli guarding Horford was hillarious
Worth a participation trophy for the effort….
Is it me, or does Horford always kill the Sixers?
Redick cant guard Tatum at all
We can't continue the garbage turnovers, this isn't the Heat
Not sure Celts are missing much without Kyrie with how Rozier is playing.
Rozier is garbage, not sure I could handle losing to him
Boston is a deeper team without Kyrie and Hayward
McHale thinks this is a Celtics telecast
So far advantage Stevens. Step up Brett
The clock is struck midnight I've seen enough 4-1 Boston takes this series
I think beli and redick will be marginalized this series by Stevens because he’s smart. Sixers have to take advantage of mismatches. Brett has to adjust.
Can’t wait for a Terry Rozier vs LeBron ECF
Why is Ben on fat **** Marcus Smart. Its a travesty that ben is not guarding Tatum.
How is that not a foul on Smart????? My god these refs. He hit him so hard he reinjured his hand.
I’d rather smart be ok. He’s the only one bricking shots.
Ben has been passive
Boston's defense has cut off his driving lanes
Are you kidding me Baynes hits the 3
Rozier annoys me.
So annoying watching tatum
Ainge is just laughing! Fultz Lol
If Smart is done we might get a Nader sighting, and that generally means very bad things for the Celtics.
Tatum can win this series
This is what worries me about Rozier and Tatum, shooting great from 3 and they're strong dribble drive threats that break down the defense. They're better offensive players than what the Heat put out there. Cov can only guard one of them, Redick and Belinelli are getting killed by the other.
Sixers are in for a battle. Whoever said Sixers in 5, kiss that goodbye
Refs all from Southie
Celtics are playing good disciplined defense.
Why is a guy who shot 39 percent from 3 shooting an open 3?
Because the coach sucks?
The coaching disparity is pretty clear
This team ain’t ready. Pathetic. It’d be an entertaining game if we weren’t jacking up bricks and settling for 3’s and creating for each other.
This team has a ways to go. As you can see playing against Celtics backups
Why isn't that a technical on Tatum for hanging on the rim? No one was underneath him
Whitey Bulger Had all the refs brought in from Charlestown
Can you imagine if we had drafted Tatum instead of Fultz? I still have hope Fultz can develop his potential but man does Tatum look good in this first half.
I love tatum. Hate the Celtics, but I’ll give them credit. Dude is a stud.
Look at how the Celtics Move the ball vs us.
You have to give Fultz another chance this series he’s the number one pick. Man up get his crap together and go out there and defend Rozier. Don’t baby him
Embiid and Simmons are the only players on the team who actually are difficult to guard. Everyone else relies on defensive breakdowns and Simmons playmaking to get their points. That strategy is harder to execute against the best defense in the league.
Fultz is a mental midget, the Sixers are hiding him for a reason he would crack like an egg against the Celtics.
They r doing nothing but jacking 3s and making every jumper they take. Laughable. We beat them by 30 when we go to Philly
This is the series Fultz needs to come off the bench and give us a spark on offense and use his length to be active on defense....too bad he is mentally weak and wont be used.
The Celtics just beat a Bucks team that has a player that is dramatically better than anyone on the Sixers. Anyone who though a Sixers team that has 2 young, untested stars and a roster of average role players was going to run over the Celtics was drinking too much coolaid.
Yes smart. You’re a goooood shooter. Keep shooting.
Marcus Smart is our second best player right now
We will still win this game. The Celtics won't play like this forever.
Donaghy in disguise Has money on Celts
Without jaylen brown, or even with him, the talent disparity between the 2 teams is overwhelmingly in Philadelphia’s favor This will come down to coaching and execution
I hate the Colangelo’s but atleast they have the sense not to sit court side like that ass Ainge
Horford is dirty Watch how when he closes out on a three he always ends up under the guy’s legs.
Can someone please kidnap Kevin McHale and keep him locked up until the end of the series?
They're in trouble in this one if Smart is gonna be hitting 3s. He's a terrible shooter.
Baynes and Smart are hitting 3s? **** me.
I don't care how how they've been I don't want this bench nack next year. Bunch of mismatches for the Celtics everywhere.
Baynes is a ****ing 14% 3pt shooter and he's hit 2 from the wing.
I still think we got this game.
We can still win this game and the series should go at least six. But if we can’t beat them without Jaylen Brown, I no longer think we will win the series.
Big 2ND half coming. We got this.
Pfft it’s 11 points at half. We have played horrible. We always come out third quarter a different team. We got this!
Oh Smart got kicked in the balls and hurt his thumb?
Separately I would hope? (MY NOTE: )
Entire Celtics team is shooting unconscious
It helps that they have been wide open on the majority of the shot attempts
Considering the history of these two teams Am I wrong in thinking a pretty hard hit on Rozier to slow him down and shake him up a bit is a bad thing?
No, but you can do what Marcus Smart does to guys. Ride him hard and run him into screens.
Honestly ….. don’t even recognize our sixers. Starting off on the road in Boston Gardens is like playing in center court Wimbledon against Roger Federer.
Not much you can do when Baynes and Smart are shooting better from three then JJ and Beli.
Sixers cannot guard Horford
Some of y'all were waaayyy too confidant in this team. Lol at those saying we would spank them. This team is not ready for a playoff game in Boston against this talented roster and fantastic coach.
Embarrassing playing a weak team who is tired, starting a rookie, down it's 3 best players, and some dude named Baynes is trashing Embiid.
This game will be tied in 4th, I am sure of that. Than we just need to execute.
The only reason Fultz even played this year was because his head coach called him out in the media. he's content to sit on the bench for the entirety of the playoffs. Scared and zero desire to play
Sixers cant handle a real crowd
We 100% need Paul George/LeBron/Kawhi
Boston fans are going to be so boastful... To be honest they have a right to... Cs have come prepared...
Boston is playing around JoJo's rim protection really well. They haven't really challenged him at all.
Shane **** Larking hits a contested three. What is this.
Sixers watched to many pundits this week all picking them and believed they were going to just walk over this team.
I'm putting this on all the posters. The ones who made fun of the Bucks the other night. It’s karma.
Aron Baynes has made 2 three-pointers in this game. That's only one fewer than the 76ers have as a team
Baynes has hit 4 total three pointers in his career before tonight. That’s like putting your hands up to make sure Tinkerbell doesn’t score. You don’t need to defend against mythical beings.
Baynes, Smart and that other guy with no neck are making 3s. It's ridiculous. (MY NOTE: Semi?)
In 4 of 6 games so far, we’ve shot 25% or less from three. Its worrisome.
Hey look Someone for the Celtics is wide open
Shocked that Ed "Everyone in the NBA thinks he is the worst ref in the business" Malloy was given this game.
That is definitely not Ed malloy’s reputation
Not a rookie chants, that’s fantastic.
Not worried. Just wondering if maybe we missed on Tatum. (MY NOTE: You're "wondering"? What will it take for you to figure it out?)
The Celtics turn every game into a rock fight, but are literally incapable of pulling away and putting a team away. They have a trash offense, and they make sure you have a trash offense too
Horford is the main reason Boston is killing the Sixers tonight The guy cannot miss….or he gets fouled
Man, maybe the Bucks aren't that bad afterall. No KI, no GH, no Brown now Still playing well.
Marcus Smart's stupidity might allow the Sixers to get back into this. That possession was laughably awful.
His last name reminds me of when you call a fat guy "Tiny."
Tonight is why you get Le bron or Kawhi
If Boston keeps shooting like this forget this series they're going to win the finals
Damn Smart made a nice play there
The refs are losing this game
Wouldn't count the Sixers out. They are one hot streak and an even whistle away for a few minutes (good luck with that) from being right in the mix.
The whistle has been fine man, they’ve been blowing rotations and the C’s are on a heater tonight.
Johnny Most and Tommy Heinsohn Are the refs tonight
PHI has a 21-10 FT attempted edge Total fouls are 13-12. The refs are not the problem. Boston is winning because of 3 pt shooting.
We’re getting out-coached. Plain and simple. The game of basketball isn’t complicated. Get the highest percentage shots you can as often as you can. The Celtics are doing that by going to the mismatches. The Sixers are not doing it anywhere close to enough.
Yes, I can’t understand why BB doesn’t tell them to make the shots instead of missing. How hard is it for a coach to tell them that?
Not playing Fultz at all was a mistake. Brett needs to give them something different to defend
What besides Fultz terrible play last series possibly tells you he is the answer?
Good end to the third we will win.
Hats off to Marcus Smart. That guy is a warrior! I want him in Philly!
I double up. It will be a tie game in a 4th.
Taken twice as many FTs yet still down by DD
The Sixers are a 3 seed with no playoff experience, playing in a hostile building. People should not be shocked by the score right now.
The other team has even less playoff experience and missing 3 of its top 5 players and sixth man is hurt.
Not forget, Brown come back in game 2. This series gets hard.
Why is JJ still guarding Tatum
Would really be nice to get something from a guy we spent the #1 overall pick on and traded a lottery pick for.
Oh look. Redick getting abused again by Tatum. Hmmmm
He just mauled Embiid. No foul. They don’t need help refs.
I hate Rozier. I really do.
Rozier playing like a max player
Rozier is playing like they need to trade Kyrie for a big man.
The mistakes of Coleangelo the past 2 years are rearing their heads right now. Where's Bayless, Amir Johnson, Fultz, etc?! How the heck can you squander so much cap space and draft capital on guys who aren't even rotation worthy. Firing Hinkie is the worst thing that ever happened to the NBA
The Sixers are getting beat on mismatches because Belinelli and Redick aren’t good defenders, and Embiid is trying to protect the paint, but even the scrubs he is playing are hitting deep shots.
I wouldn't call the the Celtics bench and etc scrubs Boston is a solid team
Sixers have the type of offense that dies the further you get into the playoffs
We aren’t ready to go deep in the playoffs, our flaws are showing up big time. Was a nice run the past few months.
Gotta say, Simmons really shrunk in this game... Disappointed in his performance, wasn't expecting that
Let's not forget, Boston is the #2 seed with 55 wins for a reason. They didn't all the sudden become the Miami Heat overnight. Yes, Milwaukee took them to 7 games, but the Bucks weren't 5-47 from 3pt land either. Boston, without Hawyard and Irving, won 55 games.
Yeah. After Irving went down, they kept winning.
Embiid is so skilled...but man his intensity is non existent.
Obviously Celtics fans will be insufferable until Thursday, but I can see things going very differently in Game 2.
Hoping the Celtics have heavy legs at the end of the game.
9 out of 10 Utah dentists recommend Philadelphia Brand over Boston baked beans. So do it for us. In 4 or more. This ad sponsored by killtheleprechauns.UT.org ( from a Jazz fan)
Think about the courage of that lone dentist out there. Avoid assassination attempts, betrayed by his medicine field.
I’ve been praying all game that Marcus Morris keeps taking 19 footers.
So the Celtics can’t miss a three? That seems sustainable…
Never wear these red uniforms again.
Rozier should be taking difficult shots all the time.
7:41 left and we have Boston is in the penalty
I feel a run coming...
We've been to the line double more times than them
Rozier did a nice job getting JoJo t commit with juuust enough time on the clock. Pretty. I hate Rozier now.
HOW DO YOU LEAVE HORFORD
Boston is just playing better. Gotta give them credit and their coach.
Who the **** is defending Horford?!?!
What is Boston shooting for game. Goodness it has be like 60% or something.
Maybe someone should guard Horford.
They just hitting shots man Switching is not working, this team too disciplined
Got embarrassed, humbled and humiliated. I hope every Sixers fan who trolled and taunted Boston before a series feel humbled. Losing to Celtics without 3 best players is humiliating, and for now they can talk as much as they want.
Fultz sitting there thinking about his next emo IG post and if Boston has Chic-Fil-A nearby....while Tatum is dropping nearly 30 on us in a playoff game.
Well, he can’t put himself in the game, and he can’t shoot so he won’t play much.
This game can be chalked up to one simple thing: the crowd.
It's really not that impressive of a crowd. I've heard much louder.
As much as I hate the people of Boston, I didn't see one of them blowing defensive assignments.
Your're really underestimating the affect crowd noise has on player confidence. How many of those open 3s go in if this is in Philly?
It is very painful to not see a healthy fultz be able to get off the bench and have to watch Tatum have a solid game.
Imagine if the Celtics had Kyrie and Hayward
Just give the ball to Embiid and hope he can foul out the whole Celtics team.
We're getting a friendly whistle and have almost twice as many free throws. Go in side
It's not the 76ers, it's the Celtics. They're unconscious. I hope they keep trying these same shots in the next games. 8 different Celtics have hit 3s. You think that's normal? You think that's the 76ers? No.
Horrible freaking call by the refs, nothing new tonight
We get FT for the rest of the game
Tatum gets to grab Belinelli and throw him aside to get open?
Tatum is really good. Fultz is ?????
Rozier looks like Steph CUrry out there tonight, my God.
Well, they lost by 40 in game 1 in 82 and still won the series......
We could be using Tatum right now, we can't use Fultz...
Thing is this was def the best chance to win in Boston with Brown out.
Smart should stop trying to stick his face near people's elbows if he doesn't want to get hit.
You guys are awful. I forgot why I stopped coming here as much. It’s our 2nd loss in 22 games. In all likelihood we are still winning this series. The takes on this forum are so bad
Fultz trade looking worse each day.
People laugh, but winning the SB was important because we almost never beat this **** city.
I feel confident in saying is the most difficult playoff environment this team has played in.
Brown returning is going to exacerbate the wing dilemma. Brown will just take J.J to the post and destroy him.
This Celtics team is just as young and vulnerable as the Sixers. They played much different in Milwaukee than they did Boston. They will struggle in Philly too.
No need to subject Fultz to Boston fans jeering him. Good call by Brown not playing him. Fultz isn’t worthy of playing anyway.
There was a guy on here that argued with me just this past summer, that TJ McConnell was a better player Terry Rozier because of Rozier's TS%. Funny then. Sad now.
Fultz isn’t good enough to play. Why play a lesser player?
Celtics rocked us on defense. Brown needs to win this series for us and not get out coached by Stevens.
We could leave Rozier open all game in game 2 and he ain't sniffing 7/9 from 3. Such an annoying hot streak he is on.
Rozier is unquestionably a top 10 PG and arguably better than Kyrie Irving. I hate the Celtics, that's just reality...
Will be out of the league if he ever leaves Stevens.
The fact that the Sixers are shooting 21% from 3 and only down 12 is a testament to something I’m just not sure what.
It's more a thing that Boston has seemingly made every shot in their history against the 76ers And managed to not have a 400 point lead
Are Baynes and Rozier going to the 3pt challenge next year? Or are they only hitting this hilarious shit when they play against us?
LOL Rozier is 75% from 3 tonight
I feel pretty confident in saying that this shooting performance by Boston tonight is the exception, not the norm. I fully expect things to regress closer to the mean as this series plays out.
How's your confidence in the 76ers defense being an exception
We deserve to lose this game Good game Celtics, you don’t need Kyrie. Rozier is Kyrie lite.
Hey let's call a foul 17 years, 3 months, 29 days, 11 hours, 12 minutes and 42 seconds after the shot is missed
Remember the good old days... When we used to laugh about Ainge not wanting to trade Rozier
Makes me wonder what will happen next year with Boston. Will Rozier be happy to give minutes back to Kyrie? Will Tatum and/or Brown be happy to give minutes up to Hayward? Can see them making a trade to get a young big guy who can guard the paint.
Brown ... Out coached. The players change but Brad Stevens is the constant. Chewing up the Sixers game plan all year.
Guaranteed to hear... "Shots that were falling in Game 1 are not falling tonight".
Brett was crowing how he loves preparing for the games, and what is scary is the result tonight.
Stevens is a grea5 coach and he gets the most out of his players and his D concepts AR amazing
The Sixers shot 22.6% and 25.0%, respectively, from three-point range in the final 2 games of the Heat series So it’s possible they could have more lousy shooting nights from behind the arc in this series. Especially since the Celtics have the best 3P defense in the entire NBA.

“It was okay,” Embiid says of the Boston atmosphere. “Our fans are louder than that.”
8:18 PM - Apr 30, 2018
224
32 people are talking about this
Love Embiid, but I could care less who's crowd is louder....you just got smoked....
Too much trolling and smack talk from Joel....Let's win a championship first.
That is dumb of Embiid to say. Fans will be going out of their way to prove him wrong G2
Even if he's not bothered by the crowd, the rest of his team clearly is. Not doing his team any favors to egg them on.
Now's not the time to rag on Fultz. Who the hell knew he was going to suffer from severe anxiety and forget how to shoot? Anxiety is a serious problem. It really messed up Brandon Brooks a couple years ago. He will work to get himself right and become a great player for us. Right now he's not ready. There are a lot of reasons the Sixers lost tonight's game-a game they were favored in, and none of them had to do with Markelle Fultz.
Jayson Tatum just destroyed Philly both ends and you honestly think it had NOTHING to do with fultz? Coleangelo was miles off on his assessment.... What happened tonight was a disgrace...
There's a reason 83% of Game 1 winners win the series.... Its because they are the better team...I hate the Celts so it pains me to say this... But the 76ers are in huge trouble right now... They had no answer all night long

These people on this board are nuts. AND hilarious! (we don't sound like them do we :>?)
And for anyone that is even thinking about fixing their mouth to say we don't need Kyrie and that Rozier is better needs to get that movie out of their head. Noooo not now maybe not ever. I love what Rozier has done but put the Kool-aide down. He still has a ways to go especially on the road. BTW is there any reason why Tro cant play the 2 alongside Kyrie next year? But all in all, win or lose this series we are still in great shape. Phuck Filly!

Re: Comments From The Other Side - vs Philly, Game 1 Playoff Semis
I feel philly has a pretty good team but listening to their fans on here they think this team is the shit! Not hardly and no where close to being great. With what we have now and what we have coming back, unless they get Lebron or someone of that ilk, they'll still be chasing us.
