10-18-2022: Sixers @ Celtics

[DJnVa]

WTF was I thinking?

 

[Bernie Carbohydrate]

Does any big spend more time on the floor than Embiid?

 

[Ed Hillel]

We aren’t the same team defensively without Time Lord. Still good but it’s so different when we have that guy who can erase a few mistakes

Just a much different team. It’s depressing,

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Bagdon!

 

[DJnVa]

Brogdon is awesome.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Are they trying to give Embiid the nickname "The Process"?

 

[Ale Xander]

Now please play D

 

[TripleOT]

Embiid went from The Process to The Prostrate

 

[128]

Fuck, yeah, Smart!

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Certainly, but the defense is bad tonight, even accounting for TL’s absence.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Love Tatum attacking the hoop.

 

[ifmanis5]

Broggy is a good fit and JT looks great.

 

[Bernie Carbohydrate]

Tatum is a pleasure to watch.

 

[Ale Xander]

That should be foul 6

 

[EddieYost]

Are they trying to give Embiid the nickname "The Process"?

if they are it’s super dumb.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Brogdon has been excellent.

 

[osori]

JT looks unstoppable.

 

[TripleOT]

Tatum in early offense is ridiculous

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Tatum is much better at the rim this year. Brogdon fixes a lot of the bench issues.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Mr Clean, maybe?

It is a close race with Anthony Davis.

 

[OnTheBlack]

Tatum just needs a hint of an angle to the rim and it’s a bucket

 

[Deathofthebambino]

JT and Brogdon look awesome.

JB should get some credit for 3 big hoops when the Sixers were making everything they saw.

Not worried about the defense. The refs put the C's on their heels early with the whistles. Get through 3 quarters and stay out of real foul trouble, and then put the clamps on, and run this fucking team off the court.

 

[RorschachsMask]

Tatum has that on a mission look.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Yeah its hard not to see Brogdon create his own shot followed by Tatum essentially blowing through everyone on the follow and not get really excited. If they can get their D dialed in, its easy to get optimistic about their prospects

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The genuflecting before Tyrese Maxey despite the fact he plays one end of the court is getting tiresome

 

[Helmet Head]

Are they trying to give Embiid the nickname "The Process"?

I thought I missed something here. This is new, right?

Either way, it made me laugh

 

[Dollar]

I keep getting confused with Brogdon wearing one of these Bucks-esque jerseys.

 

[Reverend]

Jaylen just did that?

 

[Spelunker]

I thought I missed something here. This is new, right?

Either way, it made me laugh

Embiid gave himself that nickname. Years and years ago.

 

[ifmanis5]

No way.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Mr Clean, maybe?

i lol’d

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Harden air balls on purpose anytime he feels the defender anywhere near him knowing he’ll get the call half the time.

 

[Gash Prex]

Some real bullshit that half and still tied

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Harden air balls on purpose anytime he feels the defender anywhere near him knowing he’ll get the call half the time.

I’m pretty sure every C’s fan was waiting for a whistle on that play. I know I was.

 

[Imbricus]

Finally Harden misses a damn three. What's interesting is he still has the elite passing, and tonight (anyway) an elite three-point shot, but we haven't seen that quick change of direction where he used to beat guys driving inside. Does he no longer have that quickness or is he just moving away from that part of his game or?

He doesn't really have that quickness anymore. He's still shifty, but he can't blow by guys

 

[TripleOT]

It looks like the shot clock expired with Harden having the ball in his hand when he made that miracle three at the final minutes of the second quarter

Is this something they can address at half, like a toe on the line?

 

[TripleOT]

Boston with only four turnovers in the first half. Philly had seven. The Celtics are only 4-15 from three. Philly 9-10..FTs have evened out, 17-17 Sixers.

[TripleOT]

TNT’s timing this game is off, but if the shot clock graphic on the floor is synchronized to real time, it’s clear he didn’t get that shot off.

In the freeze frame above, James is not even in his full shooting motion yet. It’s gonna take at least another 10th of a second for him to flick his wrist and get the ball off

 

[ifmanis5]

Here we go.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Good for Celts in not taking Embiid's chippy crap

 

[McBride11]

Fuck you Embiid

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Stan, they’re not step back threes, they’re jump forward threes.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Dirty player does dirty play news at 11.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Embiid elbowed Smart first---why is that not the foul there?

 

[RSN Diaspora]

GJGE, refs. Jesus.
