10-18-2022: Sixers @ Celtics

[Ale Xander]

Just turned on. Why is he playing so much?

Embiid matchup and AL in foul trouble

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Refs are not having Tatum this year. It’s a problem.

 

[Mooch]

That looked like a bad call. Would have liked a replay.

 

[Average Game James]

So if they overturn, should rescind the tech on JT since, well, he was right

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Just a wildly embarrassing call

 

[Reverend]

Jayson Tatum is everything that is wrong with the sport of basketball.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Refs are not having Tatum this year. It’s a problem.

If he keeps going for 33 and 12 against the likes of Philly.

BRING ON THE PROBLEMS.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol they really T'd him up for putting his arms out.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Jayson Tatum is everything that is wrong with the sport of basketball.

Thus, Fultz.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

I kind of want Tatum to throw the ref out of the game like belligerent baseball managers do after egregious calls.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Vonleh has given more tonight that I expected he'd give this entire season.

Totally agreed. Was that a block of Embiid?

 

[djbayko]

Great D, Al.

If there's a challenge, I'm guessing there is enough body contact for refs to let the call on the floor stand even though it's BS.

 

[JakeRae]

I love challenging here. It’s a way to show support for Tatum while also showing him he doesn’t need to complain and draw a T because he has a coach that has his back.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Even if they lose the challenge, like the “coach backing his player”-type challenge in this situation.

 

[BillMuellerFanClub]

I’m somewhat of a self-proclaimed expert lip reader and here’s the gist of what I caught from coach Joe after that challenge:

“That’s 3 straight trips down the floor you’ve settled for bad shots. Don’t fucking settle. 3 fucking times. Let’s go.”

I’m a fan.

 

[the moops]

Draymond could tackle the official and call his mother a whore and he wouldnt get a tech in that situation

 

[benhogan]

I love challenging here. It’s a way to show support for Tatum while also showing him he doesn’t need to complain and draw a T because he has a coach that has his back.

good point

 

[ifmanis5]

Overturned!

But the tech stands.

I’m a fan.

That’s what I got - dude doesn’t look overmatched at all

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Jayson Tatum is everything that is wrong with the sport of basketball.

Yes, because he does on occasion what LeBron does on EVERY foul against him/team.

 

[JCizzle]

Doc alone should have a million Ts tonight if this is the standard

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

That’s what I got - dude doesn’t look overmatched at all

Nope. Joe Mazz is legit.

 

[TripleOT]

”Don’t Fucking Settle:” The Story of the 2023 Boston Celtics.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Blown call, still a tech.

So brutal to blow the initial call.

 

[djbayko]

I kind of want Tatum to throw the ref out of the game like belligerent baseball managers do after egregious calls.

I want Tatum to kick dirt on his home plate.

 

[JakeRae]

That was an absurd T too.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

League office needs to rescind that shit.

 

[Ale Xander]

Bullshit T

 

[Ed Hillel]

We've gone cold, go to the hoop.

 

[McBride11]

Overturned!

But the tech stands.

LOL WHAT??

Reacts to bad call. IS correct on bad call.
T still stands ?? Lol what clowns

Also noted Embiid does the arms wide open like every play

 

[luckiestman]

Fruit of the poisonous tree motherfucka. RESCIND THAT T

 

[The Mort Report]

You wonder if the league takes away the tech tomorrow

 

[benhogan]

just attack Harden every time down the floor

 

[128]

Brogdon not in the closing five. That surprises me.

 

[djbayko]

That was an absurd T too.

Especially with Al jumping up and down multiple times. What the hell did Tatum SAY?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Like I said, take the ball and throw it to the hoop

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Awesome double curl there to get jaylen that wide open walk in three.

 

[BillMuellerFanClub]

That action where Tatum swings from the corner and draws the defender to leave JB an open 3 was sick. JT’s gravity is insane.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Either Philly’s defense was fucking terrible tonight or the Celtics offense was fucking awesome. Or both, which would be ideal.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Brogdon not in the closing five. That surprises me.

He was running the show early in the quarter with the Jays on the bench, like the rotations here to give everyone a break while the lead is double digits.

 

[The Mort Report]

Brogdon not in the closing five. That surprises me.

Maybe he comes in now, but with Embiid out there this is one of the few times I can see Grant in there over him

 

[JCizzle]

Great energy to start the year from this team. Fought through a lot of BS that might have stuck with them in earlier years.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Either Philly’s defense was fucking terrible tonight or the Celtics offense was fucking awesome. Or both, which would be ideal.

And we missed a shitload of open threes too.

 

[Gash Prex]

Brogdon not in the closing five. That surprises me.

He looks like he is still figuring out the spacing and offense - he will be playing a big role by the end of the season

 

[Average Game James]

Jays with 65 combined. Not a bad start.

 

[bigq]

It’s been almost 4 minutes of game time since Philly has hit a shot.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

35 minutes for Brown and Tatum already - gonna have to adjust some, they can't go 40 every night.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

League office needs to rescind that shit.

What a charmed life Adam Silver leads. Imagine getting to coast like he has following up a hated Commish like Stern.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Either Philly’s defense was fucking terrible tonight or the Celtics offense was fucking awesome. Or both, which would be ideal.

I choose to believe the Jays are an unstoppable force regardless of opponent.

 

[JakeRae]

The stat that stands out the most to me today is the 8 turnovers. If we can keep turnovers now while playing faster and with more ball movement we can add an elite offense to our elite defense.
