A lineup of Pritchard - Jrue - Banton - Hauser - Horford destroyed the Sixers, but the lineup of Pritchard - Jrue - Banton - Svi - Kornet concaved their heads. And I love how Mazzulla did this, taking one player out at a time to keep up the rythm and the pace of the game. Fantastic game management in the 1st half.
Anyhow, I watched the game in an empty office just now. I joked with a friend saying “Jaylen’s out? 100% sure we won before even watching” but yeah, this team plays so much better without Jaylen. The ball movement, the off-ball movement, the passing, the quickness and the pace, it’s amazing to watch an actual basketball team.
The Celtics are at their best when they play through White and Holiday and it’s not even close. Sadly, Brown slows that down with his brand which is low IQ heroball.
Pat Bev bogus as hell. I see Bat Bev make a mean mug face, but then you ain’t doing shit. So now, if I’m Holiday, I lock up they MVP and they homies didn’t do nothing. If we play in the playoffs, Pat Bev, I ain’t worried about you. You didn’t even help your homie. It’s over with. The whole world done seen it.
They would have lost this game last season, and for the past four or five seasons.
Basketball is calculus, yeah? An explosion of possibilities that collapse into solvable equations on every possession. Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are constant. Reliable factors who never change. They make the math easy.
Took a gander on the Sixers sub and boy they are fuming at Al Horford lmao
Brissett is basically out of the rotation now. Idk why, I thought he was playing decent before, maybe its just a matchup thing.
I like how Svi and Banton played though I hope they get a shot moving forward
Embiid might wanna ask a trade someday, he probably wants to play for the C’s. First, he had an interview that he wants to win, wherever will it be and tonight he tagged the Celtics as the best team. He always compliments the C’s and who will forget when he said that it is not a rivalry coz C’s always kick their ass. Lol
Was this the first game they actually used stock exchange on the broadcast?
I’m still annoyed that Maxey didn’t get any Ts for his flopping. Especially in the Jrue block where he somehow ended up on the floor
Fuck Philly.
