Game 4: Celtics@Philly

[Ale Xander]

np no no no no

F'ing heroball SMart is the worst

 

[soxin6]

They are lucky to only be down 8. Everyone not names Jaylen was trash.

 

[Marbleheader]

DVR solves that. Worth the cost!

Not if radio is ahead of tv

 

[Auger34]

No fucking pace, just walking the ball up possession after possession.

Not making Embiid work hard enough on defense.

Notice who’s the one doing it every time? Tatum

 

[mostman]

I’m not worried at all. Shot variance will equalize.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Honestly, we’re lucky to be within 8. Shake it off and we could have this even by halftime.

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

What’s with the announcers adopting the “too little” diss? Yeah, Smart is giving up 8 inches and 60 pounds to Embiid. We should ridicule him as the only guard who would even try? WTF?

 

[NavaHo]

Let's put that quarter in a crypt 1,000 feet underground.

 

[djbayko]

"If the officials are going to let you be handsy be handsy"- One possession later they call a hand foul on Smart for nothing

She was talking about a 76er player at the time, so it scans.

 

[soxin6]

Maxey is shocked he got breathed on and didn't get a foul

There is something about him that I greatly dislike

 

[benhogan]

WTF...Great job ending the quarter there with Marcus going 1-1 early

 

[bosockboy]

When Tatum is bad, he is really really bad

Yep he’s got an incredibly low floor for a top 5 player.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Smart walking the ball up there was a bad decision.

 

[chilidawg]

Got nothing that quarter out of anyone but JB. Tatum in a serious funk.

 

[Helmet Head]

Only being down 8 with Tatum being as useful as PJ tucker is a win .

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The Celtics screen game has just been utter shit. They are screening without purpose, not targeting switches, no plan. They need to use the Philly aggression against them but instead they are just floating and hoping the shots fall.

And for fucks sake give Embiid a pump fake and change of direction! He is going to squash any straight line drive every time! Play smarter!

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Honestly, we’re lucky to be within 8. Shake it off and we could have this even by halftime.

Yeah, just want to keep it close and hope the Sixers wear down in the second. Would help if Tatum was just bad instead of atrocious.

 

[JCizzle]

7-2 FTA disparity. 6-3 foul disparity. Celtics only took two more threes. There's no gambling in this establishment!!!

They said it earlier about Smart when Tobias scored too. It’s fucking infuriating.

 

[dhellers]

Not if radio is ahead of tv

Interesting, I don't have hat problem (maybe because I am watching on Cable in Maryland.

They need a coach with a clue

 

[Marbleheader]

Maybe Tatum should stop bench pressing before games

 

[Reverend]

Jaylen came out and things went to shit real fast.

I think they got exactly one basket after he left, White’s 3 pointer.

 

[LesterFan]

Tatum has some truly horrendous games way too often for a top player.

 

[djbayko]

It's Mark Jones. He's always searching for the new hip thing to say like he's 18 years old.

 

[128]

Tatum: 0 for 5

Horford: 0 for 3

Smart: 0 for 2

 

[MannyRam]

Notice who’s the one doing it every time? Tatum

Tatum cool as a cucumber - maybe too much for his own good..

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

White the only non-Jaylen to get a field goal. Collectively 2/17.

 

[Kliq]

It's not just Tatum. Smart, Brogdan, Grant and Al didn't offer a lot either. Brown and a little White were the only guys making stuff happen on offense that quarter.

 

[Auger34]

They said it earlier about Smart when Tobias scored too. It’s fucking infuriating.

It’s Mark Jones. He desperately wants to be cool despite the fact it’s obvious he’s a fucking dork

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Because why have original thought if ESPN will pay you be a hype man.

 

[Mooch]

7-2 FTA disparity. 6-3 foul disparity. Celtics only took two more threes. There's no gambling in this establishment!!!

The Sixers have been stronger in the paint so far. Hard to argue anything I’ve seen at this point.

 

[128]

Tatum has some truly horrendous games way too often for a top player.

It's unfair to compare him to Bird, of course, but Bird had fewer lows by far.

 

[soxin6]

It's Mark Jones. He's always searching for the new hip thing to say like he's 18 years old.

Mark Jones is an idiot. I have no idea how he is employed by ESPN and the Kings

 

[TripleOT]

Tatum and Smart 0-7 with three turnovers.

Refball early really affected the first quarter With that weak first foul on JB, and only one team getting away with reaching in all quarter.

Look to Boston to start second quarter with a lot of ball and player movement. Their offense is stagnant and that’s the only way Philly can win.

 

[MannyRam]

Yeah, just want to keep it close and hope the Sixers wear down in the second. Would help if Tatum was just bad instead of atrocious.

He can't seem to find any mode of consistency. These level of performances are just too frequent

 

[Nator]

Lay-up line time with Embiid out.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Smart putting them on his back

Hold me

 

[ifmanis5]

At least they didn't give Harden the flop call.

 

[mostman]

Oh shit. I was 100 percent sure that was going to be an offensive foul on JB.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I really genuinely want Harden to tear something playing for the foul with the leg kickout. Just wish nothing but the worst for him.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Harden on a heater. With Jaylen in foul trouble they can't slow him down.

 

[mostman]

Brogdon was MUGGED

 

[Just a bit outside]

No foul on the Sixers on the reach again on JB.

 

[128]

Why Doris think every play requires extended analysis? Sometimes less is more.

 

[Ale Xander]

That was ugly by Brogdon but good job not giving up

 

[EddieYost]

Shut up Doc. That’s a foul.

 

[JCizzle]

No foul on the Sixers on the reach again on JB.

Yep. He's attacking without the benefit

 

[mostman]

That was ugly by Brogdon but good job not giving up

He was shoved.

 

[Nator]

Oh shit. I was 100 percent sure that was going to be an offensive foul on JB.

Me too. I was about to lose my shit.
