I’d like this to be a Tatum offensive expo. Drop 40, with about a half dozen 3s and a few And 1s. Team overall shoots 40%+ from 3 on high volume.

Phlog Philly.

I’ll be there. Last game 4 I went to was Brooklyn last year so we’ve got this in the bag.

Afternoon Sunday game is rough! Hope to catch the end of this one.

This is the series for Philly, but I don’t think they have the horses. This might be a classic 30-30 game for the Jays.

This feels like one where Sixers might come out hot and Celts need to stick with it and grind it out in second half.

I think we have it in us...

Totally feels like this kind of game. I could easily see the Celts being down 10 at the half, pouncing in the third, and then wearing the Sixers down in the 4th.

Stick it to the Sixers.

I just finished watching the first half of G3 and wanted to record for posterity. When Doc subbed Daniel House at the end of the 1Q, she commented how House was another long, athletic player and that Doc was "pulling all of the right strings."

I'll note that House played all of 0:20 in the game.

I hope Doris doesn't spend all of G4 talking about the Sixers again.

Bring that good juju, ehaz!

Counting on more Brownian Motion on D to reduce Harden to a non-factor once again while Embid is simply warn down by C's overall anti-"process" anecdote.

10 more to #18 - LFG!

they have struggled in games from positions of strength the last 2 postseasons. Please put some real distance between you and philly today. I just want to see focused, serious basketball from 8 players (and I'll even accept 7 players and marcus doing his thing on 1/2 dozen offensive possessions). plz.

I don’t know personally.. but when was the last time the Cs were down 10 in the playoffs? Did they trail by that much against the Hawks?

One thing I think can be said about these Celtics.. when the whole team is losing they may lose but they typically don’t lose by all that much.

FWIW, A podcaster mentioned that the Celts and the Red Sox are staying in the same hotel. Good times.

Oh thank god Blake is gonna play!

But really with TL ailing, Blake maybe a better choice than Kornet or Muscala? Figure he can bang with Joel better?

Very thoughtful of the Sixers to leave us each some toilet paper.

Yes, they made a point of mentioning the Celtics record when down 10+ points when the Hawks were up 10 or 11.

Mark Jones just described the sky over Philadelphia as “incandescent,” which is to say that this broadcast is already irksome.

If there's a pregame show, why not actually tip off at the listed starting time? This shit is so stupid.

The Celtics are undefeated when I use my green tv backlights during road games. Lights are on, game is decided.

Saw a familiar face when the camera was showing Philly shooting during warmups, and I just remembered that Montrezl Harrell is a sixer. He's just 29 and has played 7 total minutes in the playoffs, what the hell happened to that guy?

One of my pet peeves about sports. Sometimes the start time is pregame and sometimes it's tipoff/kickoff. Tell me both if they aren't the same. I don't care what SAS has to say about the game.
