2/25- Celtics@Sixers

[chilidawg]

RDub at the buzzer!

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Philly threw haymakers and only down by 2. Pretty good

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Man that Rob jumper is pure

The final part of his game is getting confidence in that shot

 

[chilidawg]

I still don’t get why RWill not guarding Emiid

Always keep him off ball as the help guy. The one time they were matched up was good D from Rob though. You might be right.

 

[bankshot1]

Darn good thing TL is time wizard

 

[Just a bit outside]

I still don’t get why RWill not guarding Emiid

Because Embid would bully him to death. It makes way more sense to try and match his strength with Al and Grant. And have TL help from off the ball. I mean it is how they have played defense for the last year since they have been the best team in the NBA.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Mazzulla has resting poker face

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Always keep him off ball as the help guy. The one time they were matched up was good D from Rob though. You might be right.

Just doesn’t look like GWill or Al can handle regardless of help

 

[TripleOT]

TL’s first make deeper that 16’. He had taken one three and one long two this season.

His release looked great. Hopefully he will learn to step out and take threes some day

 

[Divertypeguy]

some great rob minutes to start the game, real nice to see

 

[Just a bit outside]

Grant goes from covering Embid to covering Harden and then making a three. Pretty impressive.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I love Robert Williams so much

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The incomparable TIMELORD WILLIAM$!

 

[Divertypeguy]

Grant goes from covering Embid to covering Harden and then making a three. Pretty impressive.

feels like tonight we are going to see a lot more grant than the pacers game

 

[Just a bit outside]

Bullshit call. I guess Harden will get the calls now that Embid is on the bench.

 

[TripleOT]

JB with a lot of little mistakes

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Malcolm Brogdon is all fucking business

 

[Return of the Dewey]

This is the team that makes them the favorite. Bench comes in and extends lead

 

[TripleOT]

The only thing that can beat this deep Celtics team is the Injury Report

 

[benhogan]

any idea what Coach Joe was upset with?

something with the defensive assignments?

 

[chilidawg]

Getting a little quiet in Philly.

 

[mikeot]

So many weapons.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Harden over dribbling and passing to Reid in the corner is pretty funny.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

If the Celtics play their best Philly just doesn't have enough to match them. That guarantees nothing but it kind of feels that way

 

[benhogan]

Always keep him off ball as the help guy. The one time they were matched up was good D from Rob though. You might be right.

a healthy Rob playing free safety is a defensive weapon

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Embiid back in. Time to unleash the Muscala

 

[TripleOT]

This is the team that makes them the favorite. Bench comes in and extends lead

The second unit is loaded with very solid two way players who can switch everything on defense, and make threes. It is difficult for other teams’ second units to keep up.

A Boston scrimmage between their first unit and second unit would be a fun watch

 

[Just a bit outside]

a healthy Rob playing free safety is a defensive weapon

Ed Reed wishes he had Rob’s impact.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Hauser gonna get targeted

 

[Reverend]

“White is like the most nonchalant intense player I think I’ve ever seen.”

I’ve been trying to find a way to express precisely this for some time.

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Biggest disappointment so far is both teams wearing non traditional jerseys

 

[chilidawg]

The Hauser Harden matchup was destined to end up at the line.

 

[The Mort Report]

Joel just yanked Al's arm, not call

 

[Reverend]

Joel just yanked Al's arm, not call

And carried…

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Replay sucks.

 

[TripleOT]

I was this years old when I realized that there are two McDaniels brothers in the NBA

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Tatum still not playing well

 

[gammoseditor]

2 fouls total on Philly.

 

[Reverend]

These teams are playing hard.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I swear to fucking God, I have no idea how you guard Embiid and Harden if they can just throw themselves into you, initiate all of the contact and get a call every time.

 

[Mr Jums]

I do not like Joel Embiid

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Getting no calls right now

 

[Just a bit outside]

Al dared to stand up. So fucking awful.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Charge

 

[Divertypeguy]

that is absurd they call that on smart

 

[Just a bit outside]

Embid fouls Brown and then Tucker runs over Smart. No foul and foul on Smart. Seems fair.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Woof. They’ve gone cold.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

This is not fun to watch.

 

[djbayko]

JVG is so wrong here. You can't always do that. You can only do that when a player isn't paying attention to where he's going. That should always be an offensive.

 

[Return of the Dewey]

Again Celts not getting any calls
