There is a missing sense of urgency from the Celtics. They seem to not take Philly very seriously. Also there is a pretty clear drop off in coaching from Ime to Joe.

Maybe when JB leaves they can bring back Whitey

lol or you're just a hater...

I tried to tell you all, but the hate clouded your judgment. Since December 1st, the 76ers have had THE BEST record in the NBA at 42-18 (70% win percentage). That means over the past 5 months (60 games) there hasn't been a more successful team in the entire league. Is that pretty clear?

For reference, on December 7th the 76ers were 12-12. Things weren't looking good, Harden had missed 14 of the first 24 games. Then Harden returned on December 5th and from there on out there wasn't a better team over the final 60 games of the season.


As long as they're healthy, they can be the best team in the league. That's no secret. The talent is obviously there, the starting lineup is as good as any with as much firepower as any in the league. The bench while still not the best, is much stronger than previous years, and role players like PJ Tucker make a world of difference from a leadership perspective.

The P&R clinic they put on against the Celtics in game 5 was a thing of beauty. The Sixers finally have a PG who isn't afraid to shoot, and that's all Embiid ever needed.

Or Horford clanking wide open 3s is killing them. Changing the game plan offensively to put more pressure on Maxey (since he is a bad defender who is too small to guard many of the potential players Boston can switch onto him) would do Boston well especially to gas him out (similarly to how LA has managed to do with Curry)

76ers went zone more last night, much like they did a lot more in games 1 and 4 (games they won ofc). It seems to do well when they mix that into some of the defensive possessions.

Also, Horford has been dog shit shooting threes in almost the entire series. He had the one great game (g3) where he shot 5-for-7, but otherwise in games 1,2,4 and 5 he's a combined 4-for-27 from 3PT rofl. Please go ahead and keep launching, if that's the Celtics x-factor to win this series we'll take it any day.

As I've said before, Tatum is the most overrated player in the game.

And yes, Mazzulla is finally catching up to them. This is the part of the season where experience and making the right adjustments are critical, and he lacks that experience. Knock Doc Rivers all you want for years past, but that man has been ON POINT these playoffs. Utilizing Danuel House Jr. last night was brilliant; he came up huge in his 15 minutes off the bench after not being a part of the rotation before.

Your face when a third Philly team makes the finals and loses in one year?

Reminds me of the year Wisconsin got screwed by the refs against Duke and then the Packers choked in the NFC Championship

heat to strong.
