I’m very skeptical playing our 10th best player is the solution here. We need to make shots and have them miss shots more than we need to change how we are playing.

I expect major changes in the off-season if they drop this series. Starting with the coach.

The path to the finals opened up wide for them, and they pissed down their legs. This core is lacking something in their DNA.

I just dont see it with this team. Maybe they will make me eat my words, but no offensive rebounds, jacking 3s constantly, they have no idea how to defend the two man game here at all in this series. The sad thing is this isnt even a great 76ers team.
Disagree. When Harden plays like this, it's an outstanding 76ers team.

They were the same team last year
True. But you don’t think there’s a difference between a 2nd year head coach and a rookie one? I’m not even a huge Udoka fan but I think that’s a big ass difference

This is on Udoka for me. Fuck him so fucking hard.

Mazzulla is a first year head coach thrust onto a team that has championship or bust aspirations. They didn’t even give him a fucking veteran assistant
This. Fucking Ime. But Joe could have stopped his stubborn bullshit weeks ago and chose not to. So, fuck him too.

Nick Nurse is probably going to wait out this series instead of quickly picking Milwaukee as his next coaching spot.

All this talk all season from the Celtics about learning from their mistakes, but they self destruct against a team that they should beat.

This is a Finals roster, at least. Getting out played, out paced, out executed, out coached, out hustled, all at home in a Game 5.

They have underplayed their supposed talent level all season so I am thinking we probably overrated their talent level top to bottom. Top 5 players don’t no-show every other half.

It's a good thing they learned their lessons.
.
This team has been off for months thinking they could just turn it on when they had to.

Dumb fucks
Well when you’ve won as many rings as they have, you totally can coast until it’s time to turn it on.

That Hisense ad bugs me. Why are Tatum and Breen folding Lakers laundry colors at the end there? That's so, so wrong.

I'm trying to think about anything other than the score.

I am too but clearly playing the other guys hasn’t worked.

Missing 3s happens. We played ferocious D last year and that shouldn’t disappear.

Brogdon is going to be on Harden? Did I hear that right?

This is just such a fucking bummer for me.

Im not a huge hockey fan but I knew how important the season was due to Bergy and Krejci.

I am a huge basketball fan and I wholeheartedly believed this was their year. It’s not. It’s really fucking disheartening and sad

Came out of the timeout strong, ran a play to take advantage of Embiid cheating off Williams, then locked in on D

I genuinely feel for you diehards. I haven’t liked this team much all year. I hope they get their shit together quick.
