2/8 Embiid and Harden at the Garden

[DeadlySplitter]

Sorry for the delay.

Let's win.

 

[bigq]

Phuck Philadelphia.

 

[kfoss99]

I gotta brag. I helped to close the second biggest deal that our firm was involved in.

To thank us, the client gifted me and the lead partner Row A seats. I'm currently 4 feet from courtside.

This is amazing!

86 the 76ers!

Congrats Kfoss, hope you enjoy seeing the C’s win close-up.

Pflambe the Phillies!

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

If Embiid plays it might be a bloodbath.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Will Embiid break the record for points in a game tonight?

 

[128]

Will Embiid break the record for points in a game tonight?

Maybe the other C's will rise to the occasion, but this really takes a lot of the luster off a game I've been looking forward to for weeks. Boston is missing three starters!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

When did Rob tweak his ankle? End of DET game?

 

[kfoss99]

Yeah, stepped on a Pistons' foot out-of-bounds, near the end.

I just flipped on ESPN and the counter st the top of the screen says 15 minutes until game time. Is this for real?

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think this ESPN crew has disclosed to viewers that Rob and Al are out. They don't want people turning off their TVs before the game starts, I guess.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I guess try to play fast as hell and get Embiid and Harden running. Not going to win playing a half court game tonight.

 

[JCizzle]

Jaylen is playing. I guess he's not traded now? Is this how it works?

nobody knows how to drag out pregame like ESPN.. in a couple senses of the word.

 

[Euclis20]

I will never stop being annoyed by everyone in the NBA saying Embiid led the league in scoring last year, and is doing so again this year. 6 players have scored more points than him this year.

Yeah ESPN games start at 7:45-7:47

 

[lars10]

This pre-game love fest of the Sixers while basically ignoring what the C's have done over the past few years is nauseating.

edit: not even the past few years.. THIS freakin season!
Jefferson didn't even say Brown's name when comparing Embiid and Harden to Tatum and Brown

 

[JCizzle]

Perk loving NBA guys who love to eat rather than play is on point.

I feel like I've been hearing this story for a half decade. It's nuts how much love they get despite Morey crying.

I had to mute it after they said Embiid/Harden were the more dangerous duo unanimously.

Richard Jefferson is a pretty terrible analyst, and he can always be counted out to choose against/knock the Celtics whenever possible. And of course no mention of Horford/Timelord being out.

Whatever, let's kick their teeth in by running them into exhaustion.

Look forward to them getting knocked out in the first or second round... again.

 

[InstaFace]

Did we just not cheer Doc Rivers during the intros?

Dunno about that one, Garden.

 

[Reverend]

Yeah ESPN games start at 7:45-7:47

Simple statistics would suggest that I would occasionally tune in at the beginning of a game and not early or late. But across the various channels: Nope.

Him and Perk too.. don't know what the C's ever did to Perk, but it's been 15 minutes of talking about the Sixers without even really mentioning Tatum or the Celts.. who are two games ahead of them in the loss column..and aren't further ahead because they've had a bunch of injuries over the past few weeks.

They just teased Boston being “shorthanded” but they’ll tell us more in a moment.

It’s not that they’re predictable so much as you literally predicted it.

 

[Spelunker]

Great start.

This is the night Blake Griffin becomes a true Celtic

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Some day I'd like htem not to be on pace for 15+ turnovers in a game

 

[JCizzle]

JB... What was that?

 

[soxin6]

Impressive start by the Cs

 

[timelysarcasm]

Blake Griffin starting...brutal.

Well if he's going to hit threes I will gladly stfu.

 

[Spelunker]

Terrible double there.

 

[McBride11]

Blake Griffin starting...brutal.

Leading scorer...

 

[JCizzle]

Announcers are in shambles early at a one point game

 

[ifmanis5]

Blake for 33333!

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Ok sure Blake

 

[Spelunker]

Well, this part is unexpected.

 

[JCizzle]

Celtics lead and Embiid is crying about not being an MVP for 20 straight years. Such a punk.

 

[lars10]

Apparently the Sixers won't get called for any contact.. while White gets called for backing up while Harden runs into him.

Celtics lead and Embiid is crying about not being an MVP for 20 straight years. Such a punk.

Him and Harden are the perfect pairing.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Leading scorer...

And if that continues we are in trouble. But if they're leaving him that wide open, sure. Shoot it.

 

[Reverend]

This is the night Blake Griffin becomes a true Celtic

Huh… well, thus far…

 

[Spelunker]

For the love of fucking christ

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

5 seconds after the timeout? What are you drawing up, Joe?

 

[128]

Embiid might break Wilt's scoring record tonite.

 

[lars10]

WTF is that call

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Where was the foul?

 

[Just a bit outside]

I fucking hate the Sixers and the officials. Absolute bullshit.

 

[McBride11]

And if that continues we are in trouble. But if they're leaving him that wide open, sure. Shoot it.

Haha oh no for sure. Blake will not carry the team. We had the joke about someone becoming a true Yankee or some shit at one point.

Fouls are um interesting so far
