2/25- Celtics@Sixers

Does the clock usually stop after a team scores? Tatum hit that basket with 1.3 on the clock and it stayed at 1.3 until Philly inbounded the pass. Not that it matters given the outcome.Me after they rule the Embiid shot out
We got an embedded-Celtic clock operator. The clock went for a few extra tenths after Tatum's ball went through the net, and that was all the difference.
Went through the net at 1.6 or 1.5 though.
Embiid putting that in and yet not getting it, after everything he got all game, is just the absolutely perfect way to end that game. Just leaving the Sixers fans more bitter than a dish soap cocktail. Couldn't ask for anything more.
They got +23 in free throws and had a 15 point 3Q lead with an off night from Tatum to boot. Best shot they’ll have.
Absolutely. This game was super encouraging. They needed everything to go their way just to have it be a one-possession game after 48 minutes.
Two games against the Cavaliers in the next week and a half, those are the ones I really will be judging us by. I think we match up really well on Philly, as we have for the past several years.
Definitely up there and when combined with the B's road win including Ullmark's empty netter, this might be the best Boston sports day of the last year
With humans operating clocks, a tenth of a second or two has to be an understood margin of error due to reaction time. I don't see anything egregious here.
in games against MVP candidates this season he's having some absolutely absurd stat lines, like averaging 35 and nearly a triple double. And we've mostly won those. There was some crazy list going around with them a month or so ago, I hope someone knows what I'm talking about and can find it.
I blame the pregame PB&Js. Dude must be feeling the bloat.
D'Amico posted a list in December. I believe this Reddit post is from January, and has this list:
- 35/12/4 vs Embiid [26/15/5] (W)
- 32/7/4 vs Mitchell [41/4/3] (L)
- 26/12/6 vs Mitchell [25/4/6] (L)
- 39/3/2 vs Morant [30/8/9] (W)
- 34/8/5 vs Jokic [29/8/3] (W)
- 37/13/5 vs Doncic [42/8/9] (W)
- 29/11/1 vs Durant [31/7/5] (W)
- 44/9/6 vs LeBron [33/9/9] (W) - LeBron isn't on the MVP ladder, but fuck him and fuck the Lakers.
- 41/7/5 vs Giannis [27/9/3] (W)
- 25/7/6 vs Jokic [30/12/12] (L)
- 29/14/10 vs Doncic [23/9/3] (W)
You sure about that?
Seems like it went through at 1.6 or 1.5. I'm happy the refs put it at 1.3 but your opinion ain't the facts.
Yeah looks like 1.5, but as posted above the operator isn't going to be hitting the button right as the ball clears the cylinder. Perfectly normal clock operation, imo.You sure about that?

What?
EDIT: Covered, but I'm leaving it.

My son goes to U of A and was at that game. It was brutal. But the Celtics defended the play better actually, and gave just enough D to slow the shot. Zona didnt
How the fuck did the Celtics win this game??? I bailed when they were down double digits and bricking threes and figured it was a lost cause. Nice to wake up to find out my lack of vision was not so disturbing.
Al hitting 4 3Ps after you turned it off was a large part of the comeback.
College too, last minute or two of the game, I believe. Second half and OTs only, first half keeps running.
High school, doesn't stop.
Whoever said 60 feet understated it. Court's 94 feet long. Came from the other foul line, approximately, maybe a little closer to the basket down the other end. So, let's say 20 feet from the end line. That makes it 74 feet, less the 3 at the other end because the backboard's 3 feet inside. So, 71.
By quarter, he was -5, -9, +5, and -3. As discussed in the other thread, Embiid was really having his way with Al.
Still, those 4 3Ps were key to the Cs getting back into the game. Certainly there were other reasons the Cs won but DGBS probably turned off the TV just before Al went on his heater.
I was rewatching the end of this game, and the Sixers will never win with Embiid and Harden. They are just slugs on defense. It would drive me insane as a fan.
