    great team passing. Pass and look for cutters then pass again.

    Feel like slapping the people who think the crowd doesn't impact games. I know the Rockets players watching this game must be incredibly jealous.

    Boston just woke up 18-3 run to close the half.

    Philly is shook. :eek:

    Terrible management by coach. No timeouts to let your team catch a breath, settle down and pace the game. Garbage.

    Completely agree. Not sure what Brett Brown was thinking.

    As a fan, I'm glad the Celts made that run because it's a learning opportunity for the young Sixers. Will they crumble in the 2nd half because they can't take the heat or will they ratchet up the defense to another level and choke the life out of the Celtics (which shouldn't be too hard)?

    Another couple of questions:

    Where is Ben Simmons? Can Jason Tatum contribute in the 2nd half seeing as the big run happened with him on the bench.

    Terrible decision to put out the same lineup that gave up 18 points.

    I'm still wondering where we can find Ben Simmons. Is he hobbled? If he doesn't start impacting this game, Sixers are done.

    He can't shoot worth crap, thus he's a spectator during this latest 9-0 Celtics run.

    Is Philly hiding Fultz so he won't get compared to Tatum even more?

    No doubt

    The crowd affects the players and refs. Both can be intimidated or motivated.

    Is this Boston team better or worse with Irving on the court? They are taking the 76ers to church.

    Dario Saric looks like Dr. Nick Rivera from the Simpsons.
