2/8 Embiid and Harden at the Garden

[JCizzle]

Hahahaha Harden over dribbling into a bad three. So perfect.

 

[lars10]

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

The amount of 'contact' required to foul Embiid or Harden is infuriating.

 

[128]

Yet another great first quarter for Tatum.

EDIT: Hopefully that gets him untracked.

 

[JCizzle]

Embiid just letting Grant shoot an uncontested shot at the rim. MVP MVP

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Feels like they’re in trouble once the three point variance shifts.

 

[lars10]

Yet another great first quarter for Tatum.

Only averaging 32 points a game over the last 9 games..

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Where is Grant's stock trading at this minute?

Also, Hauser is picking a fine time to leave his bricks to Lucille

 

[Reverend]

It’s telling that JVG couldn’t manage to describe in generalizations the Celtics defense as “locked in” without pausing and adding: “most nights.”

 

[bankshot1]

Celts are clearly employing rope a dope with Embiid. Unfortunately by the time he may get tired he may score 101.

 

[Tudor Fever]

Being able to watch the game on NBC Boston and not ESPNN is one of the small joys in life.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Thybulle impacting the offense already.

 

[128]

Only averaging 32 points a game over the last 9 games..

He's fantastic, no doubt. I've just never understood why he often shoots so poorly in the first quarter.

Better late than never.

 

[JCizzle]

Celtics are up: Sixers look great! Doc has everything working!

 

[Reverend]

Pshaw. Low value player—only 9 ppg! as the team’s seventh option shhhhh don’t let anyone know.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Insanity they won that quarter.

 

[ifmanis5]

No idea how they did +3 but cool.

pretty darn high with TimeLord and Horford out tonight

hopefully, Brad gets us that offense first WING

 

[Tudor Fever]

How many minutes is Blake good for (or bad for) tonight?

 

[nocode51]

Our two starters put up 4 points so naturally we are up.

 

[bigq]

Just tuning in. Pretty good first quarter for the good guys. Blake Griffin as the Celtics leading scorer is not that I ever would have guessed.

 

[Euclis20]

Feels like they’re in trouble once the three point variance shifts.

For sure, but winning the 1st quarter when Tatum/Brown combined for just 4 points while Embiid played the whole quarter is huge, and already in the books. Even without Horford/TL, the story of the Celtics success against Embiid has been that they play rope a dope with him. Philly should have a major edge when Embiid plays with both of our centers out.

 

[128]

Sixers have been horrible with Embiid on the bench this season. Gotta make hay with him out.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Lakers just got DLo, Vanderbilt and Beasley

 

[lars10]

Seems like it's been pretty good team basketball so far too though.. doesn't feel like Tatum or Brown have been giving up a ton of open shots or anything.. C's could be working to get them a bit more open tho

 

[dhellers]

Derrick W is one spry dude.

 

[bigq]

I like Brogdon a lot.

 

[Reverend]

White: Rim protector extraordinaire.

 

[JCizzle]

I love Jaylen as a scorer, but man Brogdon looks better running this unit. Gimme KD.

 

[lars10]

Felt like he was in the lane for about three minutes.

 

[JCizzle]

Looking like 2018 Harden.... LOL so in the bag.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

How that’s a foul on Houser I’d love to know.

 

[128]

Lakers just got DLo, Vanderbilt and Beasley

That's a nice haul, no?

 

[128]

When Hauser hits his first shot, as he did tonite, maybe look for him again?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Got through 6 Tatum-less minutes even, that's good!

 

[lars10]

I love Jaylen as a scorer, but man Brogdon looks better running this unit. Gimme KD.

Why trade Jaylen tho for the end of KD's career? Is it likely that KD has a lot more uninjured seasons in his future?

 

[lars10]

Got through 6 Tatum-less minutes even, that's good!

Tatum not playing for six mins straight has to be an almost season long.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That's a nice haul, no?

Yes. Makes them way more dangerous imo.

 

[luckiestman]

Tatum not playing for six mins straight has to be an almost season long.

This reminds me. I have been praying that Nick Nurse gets fired and we hire him.

 

[JCizzle]

You're right, but man another full Tatum would unlock this team.

 

[tims4wins]

Yet another great first quarter for Tatum.

EDIT: Hopefully that gets him untracked.

On track!! We don’t want him untracked.

 

[ifmanis5]

9/16 from 3 is good. Feels like November again.

 

[dhellers]

Kyrie to Dallas for Dinwiddie and Dorian Smith.... Dinwiddie returns home, Kyrie gets to not share the ball with a borderline MVP!

 

[Reverend]

Breen: What do you think of this deal—actuallytellmeaboutthakersfirst!

#ShaqWasRight #conspiracy

 

[McBride11]

Benefit of the doubt? Blake was setup having a fucking picnic at that spot before Harden got there. And did Harden take 3 steps?

 

[tims4wins]

You're right, but man another full Tatum would unlock this team.

Speaking of full Tatums, haven’t heard from Janos in a while

 

[luckiestman]

6ers fans must really hate the Cs.

 

[JCizzle]

Speaking of full Tatums, haven’t heard from Janos in a while

Ainge too busy helping the Lakers

 

[McBride11]

HAHAHA suck it Embiid.

You get so many phantom fucking calls

edit - Who is this van gundy? stfu. Embiid is banging into Williams you tool

 

[lars10]

You're right, but man another full Tatum would unlock this team.

Of course I can see why we'd want KD, but I also really want to see Tatum and Brown together in their mid 20s.. they've been pretty good together so far.. just want to see them in their prime.

 

[JCizzle]

JVG using any excuse for his guy Embiid LOL
