MY NOTE:  This is for the game last night.  I didn't post the one for Game 1 because, well, I just couldn't.  That game upset me so much.  I always try to post the link to whatever article I post and anybody who wants to cut-and-paste, which is all I do, from this website can do so.  I'll try to be stronger in the future but I just cannot stand reading Sixer fans gloat.

My favorites, as usual, are in bold.  Which are yours?


So it seems like the delusional Celtics fans have convinced themselves that we match up better against them WITHOUT the league MVP… I think we make this a borderline blowout tonight double digit win in their house

Even just having Joel stand still under the basket will help the team immensely

Expect the Celtics to be on their A game tonight as much as I don’t like them.

Game 1 proved that the Celtics are not invincible. In fact, some how the Celtics figured out a way to shoot 60%, and out rebound us by a wide margin, but still lose.

Whether Embiid plays or not, Boston isn't going down 0-2 with two consecutive losses at home to start the series. These are the kinds of games where personnel and Xs and Os hardly matter. Pride will prevail.

I'm sorry, Jaylen Brown shot 80% from FG and Jayson Tatum shot 56% FG (80% from 3FG) last game and I'm to believe that Boston is going to put their foot down and guarantee a win tonight at home? If Embiid is feeling healthy and mobile, I have no problem believing the Sixers win this one.

The league is NOT going to let us sweep Boston. Silver won't allow it.

None of our win was allowed by Silver. We’re now 5:0 against Silver

Zach Zarba masterclass on the way

This is the real trap game for Boston. Sh** gets real if they’re down 2-0 coming to Philly.

It’s just one game, but seeing how far the Boston defense has fallen off this postseason, I’m starting to feel irrationally confident about this series.

Embiid is back!!! Let’s go 2-0 baby. Just having him on defense alone means no more easy buckets and on offense just run the pick and rolls and no one can stop it .my body is ready for 2-0

Celtics don't have anyone who can slow Embiid down anymore, need to take advantage of that as much as possible.

I hope Embiid sits this one. This game is a recipe for a worse injury, and we all know he's not 100%.

Boston coach be sending out whatever 10th/11th/12th men on the bench and telling them "SWEEP THE LEG"

I feel confident knowing Al Horford's still playing defense for boston

The Celtics are completely rattled after we stole game 1. They never imagined they would lose a game that Embiid was not playing.

They never thought they'd lose a game embiid didn't play in, AND the refs tried their absolute BEST to steal it for them.

Celtics are going to want to punch us in the mouth right away. I don't see how they're going to improve on offense to start because they shot 78% in the first half but I expect them to improve their defense

By hitting 3s instead of 2s

The worst part about watching the Sixers play tonight is that we have to watch the Celtics play

Someone put Reggie Miller on suicide watch tonight after we go up 2-0 in this series.

I am a man with a fistful of hammers and a trunk full of duct tape and zip ties!

Marcus Smart is the ugliest player in the NBA without a close second   He is also one of the top 5 dirtiest players in the NBA   he deserves nothing but the worst this life has to offer him


Smart trying to end Tuckers season but what a steal I guess??

this game is so f***ing rigged already. the refs letting marcus smart do that is inexcusable. disgusting how much the league is in the tank for boston

Marcus Smart is a terrorist. I don’t want my players on the court at the same time as him.

The Celtics can hack and dive at the 6er players, but you breathe on Tatum and it’s a foul

They just going to give Tatum an and one for double dribbling?

Jaylen Brown is so d**n good.

Hope Brown goes to Atlanta. Celtics don't need two elite wings

Brown is rumoured to be Houston bound

Can we simply cut tobias and sign Brown in free agency this offseason?

Tatum gets to push off his defender on every  drive and gets an automatic foul on top of it, that sh** is so frustrating to see

"Classy" Celtics out here trying to injury our guys.

Tatum what are you b**ching about there. If boston gets hit by a meteor I don't think anyone would be sad

Not feeling good about this game. Boston has made the right adjustments to slow us down

They literally protest every foul. Also, scumbag smart tried to literally tear Tuckers acl

Smart guarding Embiid to take his legs probably

crash that drone into tatum

the celtics are the most unlikeable team in the league. the fact that they got such insanely favorable treatment from the refs is just so disgusting

Why is Brown so much better than tatum?

Niang on Jaylen Brown is pain

Brogdon looking like food against Harden right now

Celtics are playing right into the sixers hands with this iso ball

I loath the f***ing Celtics.

Marcus smart with his classic shots he makes only against us

Marcus smart is annoyingly good against us.

Marcus smart really does become Steph Curry x Gary Payton when he sees red white and blue

They are winning by exactly 2 lucky Marcus Smart shots

I can’t stand Marcus Smart.

smart and Horford on the floor at the same time is so annoying

Horford couldn’t make a shot with the Sixers. Now he’s Larry Bird  (MY NOTE:  Horford was 2-10, 1-8 from 3.  What is this delusional Sixer fan talking about?!)

Celtics got a few lucky breaks at the end there. They're not playing better than us

Marcus Smart may be my least favorite basketball player of all time

Marcus smart catching alley oops. Wtf

I despise Marcus Smart. He's not even THAT good. But he's always a d**n Sixer killer. Drives mad insane.

Crazy Brogdon is a "bench" player.

How did they get Brogdon.

Philly vs refs as always

I swear they call fouls for Tatum before there’s any contact lol

The idea of McDaniels is way better than the reality

Boston is a trash a** city

Is it just me or does Brogdon look like the Chad version of Squidward

Jaylen Brown postering himself. Nice work.

pj actually worthless on both ends

Horford finally hits a three and celebrates like he just hit the game winner.

Horford looks like he wears fake eyelashes

Grant Williams torching us didn’t play last game

This officiating is mad sus. Dave Silver made the call for sure.

foolish to think adam silver would sit back and let the celtics go down 0-2

Win 1 game and the team thinks they don’t have to try. They better bring it second half

Team isn’t playing with any effort right now, got complacent with Embiid being back

There goes those old Sixers habits again......everybody ball watching while Derrick White runs directly to the rim for an unopposed rebound

Sixers as a team play better basketball without Embiid.

you watch this game and you do have a slight concern we don’t win any more games

We're winning tonight.

Tatum would be so enjoyable to watch if he wasn’t so f***ing annoying all the time

this looks more like boston philly games. hope monday not an anomaly but afraid so.

We’re getting locked tf up. Perfect defense from the celtics

Al Horford sucks lol

Sixers Al Horford is in the building. May he never leave.

Maxey just cause JB to lose his last 6 brain cells

Ok I’m not a ref conspiracy theorist but there is a clear cut difference in the calls the refs put on the Celtics vs the sixers

i f***ing hate georges niang dude

If Marcus Smart hits one more contested shot I'm gonna snap  (MY NOTE:  Blame the refs.  23-16)

Celtics flexing like they’re not going to fold like a tent in the 4th again is cute.

Wow the Celtics are a team full of a**holes. We're down 8. They didn't blow us out in the 2nd quarter and if it was gonna happen, it would have been then. We're in this

I think our biggest problem this half was that the Celtics are just way better we’re finished in 5

We're ice cold while Smart and Brown are Pippen and Jordan.

These refs are trash.  (MY NOTE:  23-16)

See how Marcus smart just did that? They have 5 players that can do that and we have 1. That’s the difference with our team and every other team in the playoffs

You can't let Marcus Smart score on you like that.

how is marcus smart making durant shots

Can smart please f*** off?

Well...this Celtics team doesn't look like the juggernaut the media was selling. This series will be a dogfight

If the sixers win I’ll eat chocolate teddy grahams

Yeah might as well turn this one off to keep the blood pressure low. Horrible shooting horrible refs

That first game was lucky af lmao. Maybe next season

Lmao foul on tucker for getting his face in front of brown’s elbow

Getting out of hand, we need Houston Harden, and someone needs to layout Jaylen Brown

Eject Tatum!   There’s no reason for Tatum to put his arm up that high

Former MVP gets punched in the face in a playoff game and it doesn't get reviewed. What a league.

I've never been so confident we are a better team whilst simultaneously losing so decisively

Put Trez in for 5 seconds to throw elbows at Brown.

Boston still playing like trash tbh, we're just playing worse

There guards have killed us. Megamind (Derrick White) got going and now we're toast.

I hate to say it but Jo slows our offense down to a crawl

Gotta go after Tatum hard with those 4 fouls

lmao if the celtics bigs werent trolling we would be losing by like 40

18 point game, this one is done. Celtics will also have all their confidence back for game 3, and if they take it, we're in trouble.

Stay tuned. Boston is known for taking their foot off the gas. Ton of time left

I hate to say it but Doc just doesn't know how to run a team with Embiid on it

Horford just paying real estate taxes in the lane

visions of Brett Brown watching a 13-0 run with no timeout.

PJ is reaching the unplayable point, fast

He’s a defensive specialist who can’t guard Tatum/Brown or grab a rebound lol

Brogdon alone has more 3s than our whole team  (MY NOTE:  Blame the refs.  23-16)

getting blown out completely negates the positive momentum from game 1

Worst think is Boston has all the momentum now. You wanted to play them very tight so they barely have any confidence, instead they'll be oozing with it now.

We’re seriously gonna lose by 40 points. Lol. We’re absolutely cooked this series

Had a feeling this team wouldn't show up tonight smh

brb going to find a tall bridge

Doc puts Niang back in. Guys f***ing clueless. We’re cooked

What is worrisome is both games the Celtics shot lights out

The Celtics have much better depth than us, so when our top players aren't great, we have no chance.

Worst coached game I’ve seen in the playoffs. Such a bad coaching job that it actually is a momentum killer.

D**n they got so many reliable 3 point shooters

I’m not having a lot of fun  (MY NOTE:  Blame the refs.  23-16)

They turned the magnet ball on for the Celtics. I hate that motherf***ing team more than anything. A bunch of over rated motherf***ers.

Tatum has 7 points, wasted a golden opportunity here.

You know this kills Boston fans at the game who were so eager to proclaim he's the true MVP lol

Tatum is not our biggest problem. Brown and Brogden are.

Smart, Brogdon, and Grant Williams went nuts tonight. If that happens, it doesn’t matter how Tatum plays.

This team looked like they didn’t even want to show up tonight

I turned it off. See everyone Friday. What a disgrace.

Gotta give harden credit. When he plays bad he makes sure he really plays bad

can’t believe i actually thought we’d go up 2-0 this teams embarrassing

They are going to be so d**n hard to beat. This is pretty much The Finals. If we don't beat them, I don't think anyone will.

This Celtics team is f***ing overrated as he**.  (MY NOTE:  Blame the refs.  23-16)

You’re so wrong   They made the finals and take us to the woodshed every year


I’m not having fun anymore

Someone fake Embiid’s death or something so the team plays well again.

How do we get this result after limiting tatum to 1/7 shooting and foul trouble...HOW.

Celtics rolling out the 4 white guy lineup in true Boston fashion

enjoy houston Harden maybe you can make the playin

This is significantly less fun than 2 days ago

SMH getting klowned by Kornet

This team is so stupid lol

Man, Robert Williams has got the longest arms I’ve ever seen on a player less than 6’10. He’s 6’8, but he has the presence of a 7 footer.

Sixers bench is getting Harlem Globetrottered.

Honestly the whitest crowd in the league both in how they look and how they dance - it's like being at a farmers market

Or a clan rally

Celtics 4-1. Sorry, talent gap way too big. Celtics realized they only need to dig in a bit more defensively and it’s a wrap. Tatum scored 23 points below his average, or this loss woulda been 50. Lol

Go sell or mortgage everything you own. Borrow money on top of that and bet everything on the Celtics.

I think we have to win the next two games. Can't see this team winning a game seven in Boston.

Looking like another 2nd round out. Doc should be gone, but who’s coaching next season and how much different will this team look now that the “process” is officially over?

Road teams always lose game 2 after winning game 1.

But I bet the teams that won game 1 didn’t lose by 30 in game 2.

They don’t want short series so theymake sure the refereeing goes in favor of the team that lost game 1.  (MY NOTE:  Blame the refs.  23-16)

Referees have been caught cheating. I’ve heard mafia members say on podcasts that they have referees on their payroll.  (Blame the Mafia.  Now that's a new one!)

Refs are not making 3’s like Boston tonight and missing them like us   (MY NOTE:   )

If I told you at the beginning of the series we would be 1-1 would you take it?

No, I wouldn’t take it with the one loss being an absolute blowout and Tatum doing absolutely nothing.

For the next two days we get to hear how Boston has heart and how they responded to adversity. And how the Sixers are in trouble after getting blown out

Celtics should win this series in 6. I can’t stand them, but they’re the better team - again.

What’s crazy is Jayson Tatum had only 7 points, 23 below his average. Maybe if you hold him to 0 it’ll be within 25-ish next time?!?!
