Batum picked a good time to drop his season high

Brought to you by another Tobias shit night

[–]76ersKmactothemac 370 points371 points  (11 children)

Respect to Nurse for benching him at the end of the game, may have won us the game

[–]76ersflame838 191 points192 points  (0 children)

100% won us the game

[–]SourMoojuice 157 points158 points  (1 child)

Doc wouldve 100% kept Tobi in, or maybe even done something dumber like putting in Mo Bamba

[–]CelticsCreatiScope 70 points71 points  (1 child)

I was saying out loud “you gotta yank him, if you want to win, you have to bench him now!”

And Nurse did. Doc never would’ve.

[–]TrustTheFriendship 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It feels amazing to actually have a real coach. Idk what the Bucks were smoking to think Glenn was the fixer for them. We’ve wanted him gone since the Hawks debacle.

                [–]Celticsblobthetoasterstrood 145 points146 points  (9 children)

                He averaged 19/6 on 60/50/88 splits in the ECF last year. He’s had 4 20+ point games this year out of 64. Heat were on something else last year

                I still refuse to believe this guy isn’t like secretly elite, it just doesn’t make sense lol he just turned into Kawhi against yall for like no reason

                [–]Celticsblobthetoasterstrood 51 points52 points  (2 children)

                Yeah? Gabe Vincent in the same series turned into curry with 16 ppg on 49/52/94 splits. Sometimes shit happens… it’s the heat dark arts

                        Celtics being the one seed and the possibility of getting their two worst matchups in the Heat and Magic b2b rounds

                        [–][BOS] Marquis DanielsFartrelCluggins 53 points54 points  (2 children)

                        The magic aren't a bad matchup. They are the team I want to play most in the whole eastern conference. Their half court offense is putrid. I also don't think the heat are a bad matchup with KP playing zone breaker, as evident by all our games against them this year.

                        Our worst matchup in the east is the bucks

                                  It was genuinely funny watching how much the crowd came alive, especially because the foul that got those free throws was iffy. Ball don’t lie and free chicken combined.

                                  I was in the crowd and the chicken changed everything. That and immediately after the sound / video crew how had everyone dancing. Complete vibe change.

                                            We went zone too, which almost immediately resulted in closing the gap down to 2.

                                            And we changed out approach to attacking the Heat zone. Instead of trying to pass the ball in the middle, we had Maxey/Hield/Payne trying to drive in for kickouts, which worked wonders.

                                            Our offense was generally less Embiid-centric in the 2nd half. He mostly just got his open shots and only attacked mismatches, which allowed him to be much more energetic on defense. He really was immense down the stretch defensively.

                                            It's probably so strange for other teams to see sixers fans get excited about this LMAO. Its so hard to explain how refreshing for it is for us to see a coach make adjustments mid game and manage the final minutes hahahahah

                                              That was me after the ECF last year. Waiting in the Dunkin drive through line just thinking to myself: “Martin? Really? For the whole series? I didn’t even know there were two of them.”

                                              Herro was the only one hitting shots in the 4th for Miami tonight. Jimmy’s playoff health and Bam’s intermittent ghosting are as big of problems as anything to do with Herro.

                                              Herro was also treated like a points ATM by Maxey/Hield/Payne, they all drove by him at will in the 2nd half.

                                                    Between Batum, Parker, and Boris Diaw, Charlotte seems to be under a sort of Romani curse that afflicts all Frenchman in town with an unshakeable malaise.

The toxicity has more to do with city rivalries than actual one on the court. Maybe this starts something in that department, but we have nothing with them like we have for the heat.

                                                                Neither team has really been good at the same time. I hate New York but don't see the Knicks as a rival. We were good in the 80s and they sucked. They were good in the 90s and we sucked. We were good early 00s and they sucked. Both teams sucked for most of the time after that. Knicks had a few good years in the melo era and we have had a few in the process era. We have 2 playoff series against each other since 1979. Basically not enough sustained success to hate each other.

Hartenstein & Mitchell Robinson are a great defensive rotation to guard Embiid, and OG on Maxey will be interesting. Philly also doesn't have the best defensive guard rotation for someone like Brunson imo.

We'll see how that works against Brunson.
