Man that was sloppy. Hope the Celts find a groove and settle in

They played poorly and still won going away.

Also, I simply don't get Embiid at all. Dude should be way more dominant than he is. He had 23 and 10 yesterday in the quietest way possible. I do give him full credit for being honest in his post game comments though. The Celts/Sixers isn't a rivalry. It's a one sided beat down with the C's owning them to this point.

I posted that after the first quarter, it was messy. I don't watch too many games because of hockey obviously, but I was really impressed with Embiid last night. The guy's a monster out there. That said, I was even more impressed with the Celtics. They just have so many weapons and now with Hayward back and Kyrie being healthy, they are going to be a force. I'm becoming a huge Jaylen Brown fan too, he's terrific

Tatum & Baynes were fantastic last night. Embiid will be a dominant player for many years, but Celtics should be able to get banner 18 & 19 in the next few years !

They're a very deep and talented team, no doubt!

Surprised by the score at half time but the end result is more telling. Haywards first game back once he gets more confidence the team will be fine. If Philly is the only competition in the east who is going to stop the Cs? Raptors or Wizards?

Embiid is a paper tiger.

Brown posterizing him and then staring him down, tells me all I need to know about the player.

Posterized him? It deflected in off the glass.He got lucky.Brown has been stuffed more then a baked potatoe going to the rim most times.I am a huge Celtic fan but your statement is way off.

Maybe not posterized in the sense of a dunk, but he went right at embiid, went through emiid, and tossed him to the ground.

Loved seeing Rondo punch Chris Paul in the face last night. Hilarious how much these two hate each other going back years now. Paul Pierce was interviewed on it and said he's surprised this is the first time they've ever actually fought.

Chris Paul deserved worse. I would definitely pick the Rondo side in a legitimate fight.

Any video of it?

I'm not picking sides in this " fight " but there is video of Rondo spitting on Paul which started the whole thing. :popcorn:



Don't think that clip was up last night when I looked. Rondo shouldn't spit on him. Still take Rondo in a fight with Paul

I think his skill hurts his dominance and takes him away from the block where he should be most of the time with his size. Its cool he can shoot 3s and all that but sometimes you want to score the easy way.

Philly's front office is as bad it was when they were losing on purpose. The Fultz trade will go down as one of the worst deals ever they should have Fultz and another top 5/10 pick or a better player and that pick and the Bridges trade might be just as bad considering where he played his college ball and all that. The East is terrible and Miami has never tried to tank how can you possibly expect them to be terrible in the 2020/2021 season without their own pick? Its Miami guys want to play there.

Embiid and Simmonds are going to miss time having both on the court in the playoffs isn't exactly a lock. Their cast is bad and doesn't show signs of improvement honestly. The NBA sort of needs that franchise to be good and its probably not going to happen they might get a little better than they were last year but the notion that they are a team full of potential is wrong.
