Celtics vs Sixers Discussion Thread

Our coach took blame for his play calling in game 5 fuxking with the pace late in the 4th...not sure if this guy is ready... also Marcus
Smart needs to play better seems to be the x factor, derek white been playing great....regular season 3-1 celts...obviously bucks being eliminated is nuts....this could get interesting if the celtics get through philly...payback is a bitch is aligns with the warriors

No chance at revenge bud, other side won't be there.
 
Boston went 4-0 ats this year versus Philly
1st game o/u line was 216.5 and they scored 243
The next 3 games line averaged 226.5 and they all went under


Current o/u line is at 214……liking the Over here, long break might lead to brick city early…..
1H at 110
1H philly TT at 52.5 and full game at 102.5
Might wait to play philly 2H TT O at around 50-51
Hopefully philly goes brick city early after long break to setup 2H play
 
This box shows ya something..

You can own rebounds and points in the paint but that doesn't mean as much in modern NBA.

The extra 21 points via triples was huge.

That was the greatest playoff game Jimmy has had. We know his reputation in these spots -- not great.

Boston cooled off in the 2h.

2h went over by the hook, very late. That didn't look possible for the last 15 mins or so.

Boston sloppy turnovers.. only 75 FGAs.

Glenn out coached someone.
 
Boston still wins this series although I think the coach is getting worse every day.

Jimmy simply cannot be that efficient again. His aging body doesn't have that. I do think he'll be high volume shooting though.

Boston would do well to blow the next game out early. They don't want another tight one. Philly would simply gain more confidence. They are playing with nothing to lose.
 
Last thought..

Jaylen 14 in first quarter.

Only 3 shot attempts the rest of the game.
 
Makes no sense. It's the playoffs. This is why load management is ridiculous, it becomes learned behavior to take games off and carries on later.
True that.

As I said, all I'm betting next year is ON teams missing stars due to injury (first game) + massive load management (like a team sitting 4-5 starters)

Easy money.

Yep. Creates bad habits. In stressful situations you revert back to those habits you have built.

Right here, Mazzulla probably the one dude Glenn can 'outsmart'.

Coaching the biggest weak link for the C's outside '4th quarter' Marcus Smart...
 
Glenn had 8 days to figure out a game-plan to 'outsmart' Mazzulla, in reality any competent coach with 5+ years experience should only need 2-3 days max.

Joey Zulla ain't it.
 
I dunno wtf to do with this shit? I feel like it pretty likely Boston winning but they setting the spreads so high, im not trusting any these teams enough to unload on -400/-500 money lines! Well now it down to -330 and -7.5, sounds like Embid playing? That makes it really confusing, I thought 9/10 without him was redic, so now he playing and he only worth 2 points off what was a inflated number anyways? How can you bet anything other than dogs with the lines they putting out?
 
I guess now I know why harden points was only 21.5, even tho I hate that clown and don’t think any way he does like last game I still thought that number was a gift. Boston doesn’t seem real interested in playing d these days. Trey young cooked them all round 1, of Embid wasn’t playing I loved Harden over 21.5, if Embid is playing not so much. Although it still tempting, my fear just be he will now totally take his foot off gas.

It sure doesn’t feel like Celtics have any interest in playing d the way they did under the last guy! All playoffs they been seemingly uninterested on the defensive end just thinking they can outscore everyone w 3s!
 
I had a feeling he was coming back with that soft series line after G1.

Interim, this helps Boston tonight.

IMO.

No pregame bets but will be tracking.

I didn’t think Boston was losing tonight either way. Why it help them tho?
 
Mental

Plus, this feels like him rushing back.

Maybe he's fine? We've seen other injured guys play just fine.

Knees are a different story though.

Just seems odd he would rush after they stole game 1. I thought that bought him extra days? Obviously I’m totally guessing but seems like if there was any doubt he wasn’t ready this would be the game to throw away. I suppose they smell blood in the water, if they could take this game it could let him rest gm3 or they could really go for the throat and try to end series early. That seems very unlikely to me but I’d have never believed heat were gonna be in eastern conf finals and that seems like a given at this point! God the nba has changed! Lol

I agree

Why not wait till you get home?

House money right now.

Makes me think he must be feeling pretty good. Can’t imagine they would do it if there was much risk. Bums me out cause I saw Harden points prop at 21.5 and thought I was gonna hit that pretty good (luckily I didn’t do that at casino this morning, planned on playing on app later on!). Thought that was a pretty crazy number, even tho I hate harden it not like C’s playing d. Trey cooked therm all series, I didn’t expect another 45 but 20s seemed like a given. Now gotta worry Harden is total garbage tonight as this gives him a reason to step off the gas. I’d think it should motivate him more to try and win with Embid but I don’t think that be his mindset at all.
 
I finally actually hit one those goofy sgp with some plays from both games last night, that was pretty cool. Best part was they saved me, for some reason I could only play under rebounds on 4-5 guys, they wouldn’t give me a chance to put Looney under boards in it! Only over. That was awesome cause it apparently don’t matter who looney plays against, he a rebounding machine!

Thinking tonight gonna put a bunch of C’s guys 3 pointers made into one. I was gonna use harden points but that out now, as well as Harris. Dunno who or what to use from the Philly side?

Embiid assists, C's gonna double-up the defense on the MVP.

Not a prop dude but that's what I'd look at if I was...
