@sportstakes1298 @BiggLynch @zm_cox @Bo_Peltomaa Our bigs traditionally in last decade have never been big rebounders. Also Baylor needs to be playing over Walsh.

@CalebFullerton @BiggLynch @zm_cox @Bo_Peltomaa Rebounding and defense are largely things that bigs do though. The bigs have been a huge part of the issue

Total plus/minus for current starters in this series: Jayson Tatum +28 VJ Edgecombe +4 Paul George +3 Joel Embiid -5 Neemias Queta -6 Jaylen Brown -7 Sam Hauser -14 Derrick White -18 Tyrese Maxey -20 Kelly Oubre Jr. -20

@CMDRecruit @arida_andre @BallUpTopBrad Vuc was awful on Joel in game 5.

@arida_andre @BallUpTopBrad garza cannot match up embiid at all, vuc actually held his own on embiid (not on maxey though good god). Idk it's tough, im fine with garza matching every drummond minute though

We really miss Al Horford in this Sixers series ngl

@BiggLynch @zm_cox @Bo_Peltomaa Tbh the issue is not our bigs. Our rebounding, defense, and shooting have fallen off a cliff.

If they had a capable big, this would’ve been a sweep. Vuc was NOT the answer CLEARLY! they should’ve fucking paid Luke. The Spurs won big time stealing him. Also would’ve much rather had Baby Dame right now to open up the floor over Vuc, who’s done next to nothing. With Derrick & Sam not shooting well and Vuc struggling too, would’ve just been another good option.

@nycgov @MollyJongFast Manspreading

transportation, sanitation, tourism

@ballardb225 @AndrewBrandt What I said is still correct

@CalebFullerton @AndrewBrandt Embiid gets to the line more and scores easier and needs to be double teamed

Celtics were the darling of the regular season. Sixers were maligned and injured. But now, when it counts, they’re the better team.

@TemplesRay7 @StoolGreenie It’s absolutely not over at all.

@StoolGreenie Sixers are just a better team and have figured out Celtics offense. Celtics defense has already been cooked but now not being able to score… it’s over sadly

Pretty much getting blown out in a game where Embiid was 6-18 (1-5) and the Sixers only made 11 3s on 33% is beyond inexcusable

@ballardb225 @AndrewBrandt Maxey is still their best player.

@CalebFullerton @AndrewBrandt Its tied because the sixers best player didnt play in the first 3 games

@RealBobManning He can’t guard Embiid. What would they go to that?

No Tatum center lineup either. Puzzling.

@NIKNBAYT Give me Baylor over Walsh

Give me an Hugo stint

@Pezzzz_ @StoolGreenie It’s called flopping.

@StoolGreenie Embiid got like 16 in 2 games though lol

So far in PHI/BOS, players who drive to the rim are getting absolutely no love on contact/fouls BOS: Brown 94 drives (leads playoffs) only 12 FTA Tatum 59 drives and only 8 FTA PHI: Maxey 71 drives and only 8 FA George (32) drives VJ (34) and both only 4 FTA

@FTFonFS1 @getnickwright Just say you didn’t watch the game. This wasn’t the reason they lost whatsoever.

.@getnickwright has a message for his NBA Championship pick Celtics 👀 “I say this earnestly and sincerely. You don’t have to play this way…It is great to have that pitch…However, that can’t be your only pitch.”

@TomBledsoe11 @StoolGreenie He had one bad game, he has not been bad the entire series.

@StoolGreenie 17 turnovers is 17 turnovers guy you can just talk about how bad that is rather than spread the blame around to deflect from Jaylens awful performance this entire series

While this is objectively not good on the surface, there's more to the story when you look at how badly the Celts are smoking Tatum/Jaylen passes 38 AST / 68 potential assists for Tatum 17 AST / 47 potential assists for Brown

@BallUpTopBrad He will turn it around.

We not winning a title with this type of performance from our 3rd best player

@markm72homeruns @KeithSmithNBA This statement has no basis in reality

@KeithSmithNBA When are they going to learn they can’t just shoot threes all the time. They do this to themselves.

Oh Derrick White...where has your shot gone?

@StoolGreenie First game up 3-1 Celtics have ever lost.

Not stepping on throats is how you set yourself up for trouble

@NIKNBAYT Not a good shot but JB got fouled like 8 times there.

No way we letting Grimes do that Cs don’t want it right now

@burnTelAviv @KeithSmithNBA Queta is much better at defending Joel than either of them.

@KeithSmithNBA should probably be vuc and garza for the rest of the quarter

The ball is way too sticky with Jaylen Brown right now. He's forcing things a lot. Good timeout by Joe Mazzulla.

@NIKNBAYT Tbh Garza might be the better matchup there. He was guarding him well earlier.

Embiid in rhythm and these post ups are too easy

@KeithSmithNBA I agree with you but almost every other defender is doing the exact same thing on contests.

@CalebFullerton If you watch again, he either jumps forward or brings his arms down on a lot of them. But the real thing is that if he didn't pick up the silly one earlier, he'd still be on the floor now.

Really good cut by Oubre for the and-1. Four fouls on Neemias Queta. Foul trouble has been his story of the series so far. But he's not helping himself by giving away a silly foul at least once each game.
