its actually funny anyone thinking big alfred isnt a stone cold baller

celtics def seem to be of the mind that double teaming embiid is death, theyre just gonna let him get his then have al slow him down in crunch time
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 03:54 (six years ago) link
man baynes needs to be more physical with him tho joel was getting deep position without a fight
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 03:56 (six years ago) link
Simmons needs to calm down. He can get to the rim so easily, but makes terrible decisions half the time.

the thing about not having a jump shot (or a left hand for that matter) is its kinda hard to get to the rim, especially when a prepared good defensive team is keeping an eye on you
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 04:02 (six years ago) link
celtics did a great job of walling simmons off in those quasi transition situations that he usually feasts on btw, he looked a lil confused by it

(still cant finish at the rim tho)
no need when you're hitting 3s.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Tuesday, 1 May 2018 04:18 (six years ago) link
true, if philly keeps giving him those looks theyre gonna have a tuff series
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 04:20 (six years ago) link
there was a nice tv moment where tatum did some sick play and they immediately cut to a close up of fultz on the sideline completely zoned out staring into space
celtics have scored much better this offs than i thought theyd be able to, they had couple clunkers in the 90s v the bucks but other than that theyve been up in the one teens, bunch of guys who needed to step up have been doing so so far
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 04:25 (six years ago) link
interested to see what counter moves the 76ers try. feel like that type of game was a little inevitable from them.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Tuesday, 1 May 2018 04:35 (six years ago) link
feel like simmons has to be more aggressive get a step or two deeper into the D before passing and their shooters need to understand the difference between open and not open shots, past that they just need to show a little life on D, if the celtics can continue to keep them off the break tho theyll stay in this series cause phillys just not a great halfcourt offense
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 04:38 (six years ago) link
heat actually played them tough despite the 4-1 finish and the sixers were def running hot like reddick was their top scorer and belinelli was the top bench scorer of the whole 1st round, both of those guys cld easily go a series w/o making much impact
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 04:45 (six years ago) link
this was sick

impressive win for boston... i also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't win another game. goon is right that philly was running hot and on some difficult shots vs the heat but they have 4 good shooters (not even counting covington) around simmons & embiid and they're not gonna shoot 20% in another game this series, and boston probably won't shoot 50% again. when those two things even out (if they don't totally swing in the other direction) i still think boston is gonna have a hell of a time trying to win, especially in philly.

rozier's development kinda makes this playoffs a win anyway tho

the thing about that game wasnt really the shooting but the looks, the teams shot roughly what they shdve based on the shots they took, but generally philly just played real bad and im sure will play better
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 13:01 (six years ago) link
basically philly needs to find a way to get out and run otherwise theyre not going to score very well this series
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 13:05 (six years ago) link
celtics shd try to get embiid in foul trouble next game hes prob gonna be pushing

the celtics were able to move embiid out to the perimeter on both sides of the floor last night on a pretty regular basis. it's going to be tough sledding for philly if that becomes a trend.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
yeah five out is prob the best way to deal with embiid, or even four out if you get the right mismatches
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 14:31 (six years ago) link
the horford-morris frontcourt was looking dece, credit where its do mooks been doing his thing on D despite not having all the physical gifts
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 14:33 (six years ago) link
def a number of celtics threes were the result of embiid just not feeling like defending the perimeter
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 14:34 (six years ago) link
wonder about brown or tatum on simmons for stretches, he has no j to punish the size mismatch with, if he gets deep in the post it wld be a problem but being able to stay in front of him when hes facing up which is where hes most dangerous cld be smart

when baynes was in there they sent him out to the corner and it was pulling embiid pretty far out. baynes went i think 2/3 on threes to legitimize it lol.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 15:07 (six years ago) link
if i were philly id prob just concede that shit lol

looking forward to "the aaron baynes game" 5/8 from 3, 22pts

Beautiful watching Simmons get disrupted by a decent defense finally, although on the plus side Philly knows that Simmons' floor is humiliating half of the league's team defenses, not too bad.

This was so the first time they’ve seen a real defense fully engaged in like 25 games too so I imagine game 2 will have tons of adjustments on both sides

He’s so good for this team just rock solid all the time then can just direct the flow of the game for long stretches. He is also just never in the wrong place on defense like ever

they certainly shd

i don't think either team should win this series

just send them home and promote celtics-76ers to the ECF
