Series Thread: 1st Round: Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia Sixers

I think that is fair.

They competed against a superior team. I wasn’t sure they were going to show up. They did.

Just didn’t close well enough to get the win.

If you watched the coverage... it was way over the top.

The Celtics got in a lot of early foul trouble, and Philly was unable to take advantage.

You can’t close with Joel Embiid. 2 big turnovers. I was focused on the Flyers cause well they have heart and actually compete. But I watched the 4th quarter. They should have kept playing through Shake Milton. As soon as they stopped doing that they faded.

They foul on every possession. It will even up. They will eventually have to let stuff go.

76ers shot 19 free throws in the 1st quarter.

The NBA is dead and unwatchable...

Gonna be that way when we're playing the other team and the ref's too.

Amusing seeing the '6ers get 2 separate technicals complaining to the zebras... in a game where they've gone to the charity stripe 23 times in a half.

And yet only down 1 to a team that has had half a Joel Embiid in second halves and can’t close out a 4th quarter. Brooms await for my Sixers.

lol

I'm just here to watch the Celtics fans blame the refs.

Blow it up! Simmons to the Ws...

If that isn’t telling of the Sixers in this series. Not checking out the shooter on a foul shot. Sad.

Horford declined pretty quick. He’s garbage now

It’s some of that. At the same time, he has no defined role with this group. Forcing him into being a 4 is not gonna work.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Easy call missed there

 

[fightinfunbags]

That doesn’t look good.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Didnt see what happened...

Didnt see what happened...

Tobias Harris just went down like a ton of bricks. Looks like he lost his footing or something. I’m still making sense of it myself. Looks like his head slams on the court. Lots of blood. Hope he’s ok. But also hopes this forces a retirement and cap relief of 34 million a year.

So happy he got up. Concussion I bet
