Game 5: Sixers at Boston: Lobster Rolls > Cheese Steaks

[JakeRae]

Pritchard is putting effort but was getting murdered on screens on defense and isn’t doing anything on offense. This isn’t a criticism of Pritchard, who I have nothing against, but we shouldn’t be playing our fourth point guard when the other three are healthy.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Can he coach?

He would ignore our dipshit coach. Win win.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Can he coach?

what coaching adjustment do we need for 'hey maybe our 45% 3pt shooters can do better than 1/9 on wide open shots?

 

[lars10]

I am too but clearly playing the other guys hasn’t worked.

And it's not like just yesterday that a player helped the Lakers win who isn't in their normal rotation.

 

[8slim]

BTW, not sure any coach can fix this core. There's something intangible here beyond X's and O's.

Agreed. This team continues to be very immature.

 

[TrapperAB]

All NBA Jaylen Brown, in what is practically a must win, has taken 9 shots.

WHY ISN'T HE SHOOTING MORE?!

He's 6-for-motherfucking-9!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Sure it is. Jaylen says he's out and that's it.

He’s probably getting the super max, what are you on about?

 

[j-man]

They have the deepest team in the league. It’s just all-around underperformance right now.

facts

 

[tims4wins]

I keep thinking they are about to show themselves, but it doesn't seem to happen.

They’ve showed themselves. I said it during the Hawks series. I got fooled yet ahain

 

[8slim]

I can’t believe PP is in.

 

[j-man]

He’s probably getting the super max, what are you on about?

yeah he wont turn down 5y/290mil

 

[Just a bit outside]

Sixers playing a lineup with House and Niang. Just sad.

 

[Cellar-Door]

looks like a concious effort to get Jaylen touches now

 

[Auger34]

All NBA Jaylen Brown, in what is practically a must win, has taken 9 shots.

What do you expect him to do? Tatum wants the ball to slow play it up. Should he fight him for the ball on the inbounds? I really don’t know what he can do. Everyone loved that he accepted being Robin to Tatum’s Batman, isn’t that what this is?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

How about a fucking run, boys. Don't just lose box to wire in the biggest game of the season at home.

I'd rather have a real PG.

Trading a top 10 wing for a PG doesn't seem like a great idea. I'd like to see what a real coach ( not DII caliber coach) could do with this team.

Probably time for Smart to go though.

 

[soxin6]

Their lack of urgency is infuriating

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Worst part is we are getting a good whistle tonight too.

 

[Ale Xander]

Smart 0-5 since the first two minutes

Brown is not a top 10 wing against elite defenders. He is a poor ball handler and poor FT shooter.

 

[Mooch]

Sure it is. Jaylen says he's out and that's it.

Jaylen isn’t turning down a Supermax. Stop it.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

What is so obvious a few minutes of game action ago is someone should be trailing Tatum on those drives with Embiid selling out for the block, to get an easy layup. Yet the other 4 just stand out near the three point line.

 

[Ale Xander]

Chip chip chip away

 

[Ale Xander]

JFC

 

[ifmanis5]

House is playing harder then most of our guys.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Marcus throwing it directly into Timelord's ankle because he drove without a plan

 

[Preacher]

Nice play by Smart.

 

[Auger34]

I can’t believe I’ve invested so much of my time in this team. I’m honestly just sad

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Just fire Smart into the fucking sun.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

9-24 is definitely a line his hero put up frequently.

Damn so close to the Full Kobe (8-24)

Dumb team is dumb.

 

[JCizzle]

They can't even get it close to make Embiid waste some cardio. Fuck off, Marcus.

 

[soxin6]

No one even passing the ball to PP

 

[Ed Hillel]

Am I misremembering…did we offer White in addition to Brown for Durant and they demanded Smart instead of White and that was a bridge too far?

 

[Just a bit outside]

They can’t do anything. Any stop followed by a bad turnover.

 

[103mph Screwball]

3rd coach into this project, and still can't get it together.

 

[OnWisc]

And the clowns just keep coming out of the car. Nice pass, Smart.

 

[EddieYost]

Nice pass

 

[Cellar-Door]

Lol, Joe saw that drive from Smart and decided he'd seen enough.

 

[Section15Box113]

At least Smart hit both.

Feels like several times tonight it’s been:
Drive
Get fouled
Don’t get the roll
Miss 1 of 2

 

[soxin6]

Oh boy, JB finally made a shot and then plays zero D

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

It's really funny who the announcers keep trying to suggest that the Celtics are on the verge of a comeback, only for the team to immediately do something terrible.

 

[8slim]

Playing 4 on 5. WTF is Joe doing with PP?

Posters too

 

[Marbleheader]

Jesus

 

[Ale Xander]

Who the f is this guy clowning us

 

[bohous]

Has Pritchard touched the ball?

 

[McBride11]

Can CBS join the bench next game?

 

[soxin6]

Great effort by PP on Harden

 

[JCizzle]

Playing 4 on 5. WTF is Joe doing with PP?

Did you just see Smart on offense? It's 4 on 5 either way.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Rob is getting roasted.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Game's not over.

 

[soxin6]

Can CBS join the bench next game?

If they lose, he should name himself coach

 

[ifmanis5]

That was nice. But need stops somehow.
