OT: Celtics / Sixers - Series

[Patsfanin Philly]

Brad is Popovitch without the rings.

Yet.........
He's young, doesn't get too hyped ( did you see his post game conference) and players seem to like playing for him ( e.g. Hayward signing to play for his college coach).That bodes well to getting future free agents...
Oh and they don't have to worry about signing free agents this off season because getting Gordon back will be like adding a free agent. And depending on how the lottery ball bounces
albeit unlikely they could end with a high pick from LA this year or more likely Sacramento next year.....
All in all, things are looking good. Let Philly have the "process" and tank for 4 years.......
I'll prefer trader Danny...... he was the one who hired Brad...

Nice to see tatum outplaying a guy like Simmons in his second year.

simmons looks like the moment is too big for him. he's very tight.

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

I'll say this: he's in the conversation for best coach. And I respect the hell out of Pop.

Seems to be the growing concensus around the league

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

Oh yea, Jayson Tatum is becoming my favorite player, love that kid.

Danny is behind Red, BB and maybe Theo for greatest GMs in Boston sports history.

And I officially like Horford, it's taken me a while (unfairly) to get over my hate for him as a hawk.. That's done now.

He's an All-Star next year.

He has "it"

I hate his contract and he coasts sometimes but when he needs to play....he plays

So smooth, keeps his cool, can shoot and drive the lane, good /great vision, clutch.. Definitely has "it"

 

[RobertWeathers]

Immensely talented. He's a boy. Not ready for this yet

Random post-game thought: I'm developing an intense dislike for Joel Embiid. Terrific player and a huge, whining baby.

My wife and I were calling him big baby boo boo all game.
That philly fan with the towel on the sideline standing up all game.
I wanted to shove that towel up his-ass.

IMO most people are underestimating Rozier's play in this playoff run, he had another turnover free game today and I believe he is a better defender than Kyrie.

Celtics were a 3-1 series underdog to Philly, I'm curious how much Cleveland will be favored in the next round,.

I don't get why Smart isn't more popular among Celtics fans.. Besides the stats you so kindly provided (nice!), just watch the games... Guy makes big, impact plays on a routine basis. Sure he's not a superstar but one of those smart, gritty guys you WANT to have on your team.

This is the first season I've followed with any amount of interest and from the handful of games I've watched, it's so obvious that Smart is a defensive force at the very least.

Agree. He is over the top

 

[captain insano]

danny ainge is the best gm in the league.

I thought Kyrie really made a solid effort this year but there should be no confusion.

Roz is a better on the ball defender than Kyrie.

danny ainge is the best gm in the league.

Is this an actual debate?

that Tatum dunk-fouled-by-embiid was great
