Celtics have at least balanced their inability to shoot with a failure to block out and complete lack of court awareness.

Christ the shooting is just so bad. It's gotta turn a little, it just has to.
37.8% / 27.8% - like come the fuck on.

Tatum dribbles like a baby deer takes its first steps. It scares me shitless whenever he attacks from the top of the key
Let’s fight about participles and gerunds!
We can’t turn in each other, people! We have a whole second half!
What’s sad is…most of those were open. Variance has to help us in the 2nd half
This feels exactly like last game. I think the Cs will get a run or two and make it interesting but they havent shown me enough to give me confidence they can close
As poorly as they've played, just average shooting luck on open 3s and this would be a 2-4 point game
I am in a really bad mood, life stuff and I thought this would be a blow out….but this made me laugh. Thank you

Tatum had 2225
Embiid had 2183
Can they do the high school where they come out for the second half in the classic greens and start playing “their old school game” again and dominate?
Because that would be awesome.
Well, considering how bad it looked and how many wide open 3s they missed..... 9 isn't that bad?
They are grinding but once again killing their margin for error with missed FTs and dumb mistakes and missing wide open looks.
That’s right. Philly should be both happy and disappointed to be up by 9 points right now.
Can't give up a bucket here. -Reggie
Having every announcer openly root against Boston is a brutal listen

….I want 20/20!!!! (I was wrong, I just somehow remember 3 misses specifically. That’s on me)
Celtics were 38-4 in the regular season when they shot >=36% from three. They're 5-3 in the postseason.
Agreed. The Celtics are frustrating as fuck, but I don't see how you've watched this game, how badly the C's have shot and think it's over.
It's such a soft reaction even for a game thread.
Exactly. Anyone who thinks they’ve got this is wishcasting and/or delusional
