Comments From The Other Side - 2ND ROUND PLAYOFFS, GAME 7, vs Sixers, Home, 5/14/23

by FLCeltsFan

MY NOTE:  If Philly fans are true to form they are going to be absolutely brutal on the Sixers.  My favorites, well, they're probably going to be all of them, how can they not be after a 24 point beat down that wasn't even that close.  


I hope Doc Rivers shows up tonight and not Glenn van der Linde who always has a plan and it involves going to Tahiti in the end.

If we lose this game fire Glenn into orbit. He cannot survive another choke like this.

If we lose game 7 leave Glenn in Boston and get Bud in here asap. That’s the only silver lining to another epic choke.

yeah replace Doc with another career choke artist who hates adjustments but gets props because he won a fluke chip.

Imagine going through The Process to never get out of the 2nd Fing round? No further than the treadmill-era team before that.  This entire organization is a disgrace.

At least when the sixers let us down once again we can all watch jimmy on his run to the finals.

Scott Foster is the ref today. better take some Pepcid

We were 4-0 this season with Foster

We also lost game three against the Celtics at home with him as the ref. The Sixers playoff record with him is not great. but neither is the Celtics.

Looks like we're both screwed...

Scott Foster is officiating. Adam Silver gets what he wants: Lakers/Celtics. Sorry, guys. This isn’t happening today

Scott Foster. At least bet the Celtics to win some money to cure depression.

How the he** is Foster reffing this when he reffed Heat/Knicks Friday? They have no one else to bring back?

This is just disgusting. He already reffed game 3 of this series, which of course was a 12 point home loss for us. Now, after just doing a game Friday, they HAD to bring him in to make Harden 1-15 in playoff games where Foster is reffing???

Foster and Celtics fan Eric Lewis. So blatant .

Eric Lewis a Celtics fan.

How is Eric Lewis allowed to ref this game?

Combined with Scott Foster's hatred for Harden I hope we are playing good basketball and not foul baiting. Harden will not be getting calls driving to the basket.

Scott Foster and Eric Lewis don't scare me, the corgi said we were gonna win. Sixers in 7.

Harden 1-14 in Foster reffed playoff games and Celtics like 11-2 in Lewis reffed game. There's a good reason to be upset about the ref selection. Not like the league hates our team or our GM for costing it billions. Nah.

Celtics record with Eric Lewis is CRAZY, and Scott Foster is infamous for giving Harden dogsh** calls in the playoffs. It's legit 5v8 tonight  (MY NOTE:  For the record, Philly took 19 ftas and Boston took 18.  I know these are pre-game comments but they're wrong)

Have the Celtics ever lost a game that Eric Lewis officiated? He reffed that infamous game where they had like 60 FT attempts against the Heat lol

This is why I don't think it can be a close game for philly. The refs were even favoring celtics in Philly I can imagine game 7 in Boston will be a tall task in the clutch for sixers. The Celtics will get all the calls even if they are game deciding.

3:30 games on Sundays should be illegal

Does anyone else feel like brogdon never misses

Underrated 76ers villain, stole ROY from Dario

if i see tatum hit a 3 in the first quarter its over

Rather him hot in the first and cold in the 4th tbh

I'm ready to be hurt again

Consolation is Doc will be fired … right?

I'm willing to let their guys not named Brown n Tatum shoot the rock. It's not sustainable for most of them.

Yeah, letting Brogdon and White shoot has really worked out well so far. Agree on the rest, but those two are lethal

If Harden and Joel come out aggressive and hit some early buckets we got this. The Boston crowd perpetually poops itself when they sense any danger.

I agree but Brown did call out the Boston crowd and implored them to show up for this game.

It's amazing that we even made it to game 7. It's not often a team gets this deep in a series when their top 3 scorers have played this poorly and been this inefficient. Especially when someone on the other team (Jaylen Brown) has been unguardable.

The only consistent players so far in this series has been Brown

Scott Foster reffing. Even worse, Eric Lewis reffing - whose games have been like 19-3 favoring Celtics wins, and whose extended family are all Celtics fans.

Sorry Sixers fans, including myself. While we can beat a team, but we can't beat a system that has f*** us over many times in the past, including f***ing up our ownership and gm.

Should we be concerned that the officiating could be lopsided in favor of the Celtics? Harden is 2-10 last 12 playoff games officiated by Scott foster and Eric Lewis who is also on the officiating team has a family that are die hard Celtics fans

they really went out of their way to form the most biased officiating crew possible with foster, lewis and kennedy

b**ching about the refs before the game starts is loser energy and you should be ashamed of yourself  (MY NOTE:  BINGO!!!)

Y’all saying reffing is gonna make us lose the game, just like y’all did last game. We didn’t lose that because of reffing we lost because James went 4-16, and our shooters couldn’t shoot.

Seeing that Scott Foster and Eric Lewis are the referees of the game already ruined my day

Celts are a poor man’s Warriors, straight chuckers.

Everyone hates the Celtics. You’d be surprised how many people want us to knock off those clowns

Will the pizza delivery guy know to deliver to my dark closet where I will be in a fetal position watching the game or no?

My guarantees for Today:
1) Tatum plays great
2) Horford plays great
3) Harden bad
4) Tobias bad
5) Doc not good enough
6) Refs a disaster

MY NOTE:  5 out of 6 isn't bad.  The refs pretty much let them play.

Scott foster AND Eric Lewis. If you thought calls were bad before wait till today

I don’t think I could handle either white , brogdon or horford going off tonight

Woj just posted that in Game 6 13 errors were against 76ers and 4 were against Boston.  Be interesting to see if they can blatantly screw us 2 games in a row or if they go in the other direction now that Woj just pointed that out.  

Woj could have done us a huge favor with that. I would not like another awfully reffed game like they have done all series.

One more stinky Tatum game please. Just one more

They literally got a Celtics fan and tim Donaghy's best friend to ref game 7. I'm fully jokerfied.

The NBA wants the MVP deep in the postseason. They'll take care of us.

Can you guys help me come up with a drinking game? Ideally rules that make me drink when the sixers do something dumb.

Shot every time Tobias turns the ball over or misses a shot

He said he wants to drink, not go to the hospital to get his stomach pumped.

How is it ok that they got a Celtics fan to officiate?

40 f***ing years since we got a ring! We're the New York Knicks of Philadelphia.

Gotta love the NBA all but admitting the refs screwed the 76ers last game out, then in nba fashion has the most corrupt ref in the entire association call game 7.

how is someone as ugly as derrick white a good basketball player

I straight up just don’t want to have to look at Joe mazulla anymore

I hate the Celtics more than I like the Sixers sometimes.

Celtic's getting blown away like Derrick White's hairline

Celtics hype video should really be just clips of refs

Boston is a garbage city with garage teams and garbage fans

I hope I get to see a bunch of disappointed loser Celtics fans today….make these racist sacks of sh** leave the stadium early

Philly vs refs starts now

Game 7 and we have a team full of (majority) killers. Although very talented, Tatum is not a killer.  (MY NOTE:  HAHAHAHA!!!)

Tatum gets away with blatant offensive fouls like lebron gets away with flopping

Annnnnmmd we are soft as baby sh** and Embiid is pouting already.

Brixers

Tatum already using his arm like a baseball bat on every drive

Boston refs starting early

Eric Lewis saw momentum shifting towards the Sixers and had to put a stop to it

Rob Williams is TRASH

I hate to say it, but Embiid is scared

Celtics have INFINITELY more freethrows than us

Is Tator allowed to play with special rules

tatum getting spoon fed points by the league early. sh** is so pathetic. the nba is the most manipulated league in the world, everything is for dramatics

The crowd is too loud. Ive never seen anything like it.   (MY NOTE:   )

I mean what incentive to do the Celtics have not to play dirty, not calling a maxey foul then Tatum playing reckless is one on the other end

Tatum gets that call, but they miss an obvious on Harden. Got it.

This game will be a dead heat, refs will smell blood in the water and will decide the game.

Boston gets every call…

another blatantly rigged game i see

Boston is too soft for good defense

Up 9 points in a 5v8 game

We’re the better team. Always was.

Sixers need to blow this up in the 2Q to have sufficient buffer from ref shenanigans and Super Tatum heroics.

Scott foster’s face makes me want to punch a baby

Hard to complain about the refs right now. Some questionable calls definitely going our way.

I can’t even..are the refs on our side for once?

3 straight bad calls in our favor. WTF am I watching?

Don’t ever complain about refs again    That’s the third bad call by the refs that has gone in the Sixers’ favor

This is wild, Boston fans have a grievance with the refs...but I don't care. I love it when Boston is miserable.

So this is what it feels like to be a Celtics fan  (MY NOTE:  Not yet, but it will in the 3rd quarter)

Need to capitalize on these bad calls.

We got away with that one

So this is what it’s like to be on the refs good side

This reffing is terrible but at least it’s for us this time lol

Jaylen Brown is never gonna leave Boston. I don’t get that smoke.   He’s a great fit with Boston as he and their fans both wish Hitler finished the job.


Refs are establishing some calls in our favor before the home cooking starts later. Don't trust it.

Don't want to get carried away but, uh... Celtics don't look very good huh.

Has Niang become the best defender in the history of basketball

If he doesn’t want to get smacked in the face, maybe don’t be anywhere near the basket.

Let this fata** harden walk bro he’s so a**

Worst refs in sports history.

Foster salivating at the thought of a flagrant

Smart complaining about the off arm push when his teammate is Jason Tatum

Bench Harden Embiid. Play somebody who actually wants to compete.

Embiid is 2-9.     Holy **** we should have build around Okafor.

generational performance from the refs to carry the league’s precious baby boy tatum to the next round. this is legacy defining stuff

Blame the refs if you want, but if harden went for buckets instead of fouls in this game we wouldn't have had to worry about it

Can we just lose already so I don’t have to care about this mid a** team anymore

GET JOEL EMBIID THE F*** OFF MY TEAM

Another offensive foul by Tatum that he somehow is getting free throws for

We finally got a call, wow.

Every f***ing Celtics fan looks like Andy from Toy Story

JT is on fire rn, such a shame we wasted that stinker last week man

Tatum playing like a super star. Kills me.

We could have had Tatum.  That kills me.  Markelle F***ing Fultz.  That should have been a fireable offense.  

Philly vs refs as always. Also gon head and fire Glenn at halftime

Gotta let Harden walk and see if you can offload Embiid. Harden is washed and Embiid is a regular season darling.

Let Harden's overrated a** walk and trade Embiid. Playoff losers don't typically change their stripes.

Hold your heads up high folks. I have a feeling the 76ers will explode in the 3rd quarter and all will be fine

5 point game with 2 minutes left in the game is my prediction.

I’ll take Harden’s belongings to Houston tonight. Willing to drive, just get his a** out of Philly

It will come out years later that Harden had money on Boston

If either of our f***ing stars start playing well, we have a good chance. If neither shows up, then we deserve this loss and the impending blow up of the team in free agency.

Why would they start now? Harden is broken and Embiid is tired.

Series ended Thursday. This is just extra punishment for us being dumb enough to believe the past few months.

Basketball IQ on this team is Forest Gump level

please someone send a bunch of strippers into the locker room so harden comes out like game 1&4

If Niang can manage to get one more double T from the bench so he CANT play, that would be ideal

can joel just knock Al on his old a**

Gotta get Brown another tech to win this.

Not enough weed in the world to make me feel positive about this game until sixers are leading with zeros on the clock

I hate that we make this fraud Jayson Tatum look so good.  

It’s over and I’m not coming back next year when both our stars leave. F*** this poverty franchise

Tatum lives for these moments   Harden and Embiid are scared of them    That’s the difference



Oh yea, does everyone remember we took traded traded a 1st the next year so we could pick Markell’s Fultz instead of Jason Tatum?


Gotta respect the NBAs tactics for letting the refs be blatantly bad in the 1st Q to favor the Celtics knowing no one would ever remember it

Tatum is so much better than Embiid it’s ridiculous

really cant defend embiid anymore this dude is playing with zero heart

Glenn career is over and so is hardens. Embiid prob not here next season

Can we please just tank again

I just vomited all over my dog

We need a Sixers-like collapse from the Celtics.

Embiid is so done. That game is his legacy. He will be remembered as utter loser

This is embiids way to say "fans hate me. I want out of Philly" cuz he's a cry b**ch. Watch. He's gunna request a trade. He's doing this on purpose. Good.

Well at least they let us down early enough in the game that we didn’t carry hope the entire way just to lose

Does Doc run an offense or is it just pass to whomever isnt open.

Should have built around simmons

I f***ing hate this team

Lmao Embiid can't even sit because Tatum and Jaylan have good conditioning and can play the whole d**n game if they wanted to.

At least Doc and Monty Williams will have something in common after this game

another year, another playoffs where boston owns philly

getting embarrassed by a kobe wannabe  i hate the celtics

Worst part is I can't even blame the refs!

Im becoming a warriors fan f*** this trash a** franchise. Call me a fake fan this team has never given me a reason to stay loyal  (MY NOTE:  The Warriors have aging stars.  If you were going to become Warrior fans you should have done it 6 years ago)

If I see Embiid's name on the roster next season, I ain't watching a single game, even if he wins MVP again.

I'm gonna have to cheer for the heat to kick the celtics a**, even if I hate them as much as I hate the celtics.

Transfer 76ers to Vancouver please

MVPIID the bed

Rivers Embiid harden the f***ing dog mascot, everyone gotta go... EVERYONE!!!!

I’m ngl I don’t feel like seeing any of these players again right now. So many flaws with everyone and so much giving up. Just trade the whole roster.

The refs were awful the entire first half and then realized they could just sit back and let Glenn rivers pretend to be a coach.

Taking my Embiid jersey to goodwill

Gotta just start swinging on Tatum at this point

If y’all thought Doc put PG13 under the bus in the bubble and Ben Simmons the following year, wait till y’all see how he does Harden post game.

If only we had kept Butler and dumped Simmons and drafted Tatum over Fultz

Why do I get the feeling I’ll be telling my grandkids in 40 years about how I’ve never seen the Sixers beat the Celtics in the a playoff series

Respect to Horford at the end there

Oh f*** Al Horford

Well at least I don't have to watch another Philly sports team reach the finals just to lose.

The Mother’s Day Massacre

What hurts the most is realizing we went through the last 10 years just to go from a perennial 1st round exit, to a perennial 2nd round exit.

The only prayer is that Jaylen Brown decides he’s so disrespected in Boston and forces a lopsided trade to the Sixers. Otherwise, it’s time to tear it down.

I hate this team so much

They should change their name to the 38ers. They only played a half of a game, half a**ed effort. Embarrassing.

Ok now that I’ve had some time to cool off, I can give calm and levelheaded analysis.  There is no team on planet earth that I hate more than the sixers. Not even the cowboys. I will never forgive my parents for conceiving me in the greater philadelphia area. They have ruined my life.


3-2 lead in the series. Sixers put up 86 and 88 points in Games 6 and 7. Legendary choke job.

you know the difference is ? mazzula made an adjustment, and doc did not counter.

Making hamburger helper, depression flavor

This is completely Sixers collapse, and not a Celtic V. The Celtics are above average, and losing to Miami in 5.   Sixers need to rebuild from the ground up if we can’t beat this overrated Celtic garbage. Doc goes first, and keep, going from there.

Horford consoling Joel. Should never happen.

Pritchard for maxey who says no?

I hope Jimmy drops 60 per game on the Celtics. I absolutely hate Horford.

Well, that’s 41 years we haven’t beaten Boston in the playoffs and counting. There should be a rule that after 40 years of failure you should be sent to a minor league.

The crowd watching William Wallace be disemboweled at the end of Braveheart has nothing on us.   YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT PAIN IS!


Bob


.

You were right, bobh. All of these are priceless. Gotta love PHI fans for their brutal honesty. Going to miss them the next two rounds.

db

Some gems:

Embiid is 2-9.     Holy **** we should have build around Okafor.

Where is he?

MVPIID the bed

Best of the worst!

What hurts the most is realizing we went through the last 10 years just to go from a perennial 1st round exit, to a perennial 2nd round exit.

Smells like team leadership.

Pritchard for maxey who says no?

Seriously, who says no?
