If they do, then that's on them. Celtics can't miss tonight. Sixers can't make a shot. Honestly, this game to me doesn't make me change how I view this series. It's only one game. Things can change. But No one giving credit to how good Boston's defense is/was. They know now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 If you'd never watched basketball and I told you one team had two top 15 level players you'd say oh Tatum and Rozier are the two players. Philly is shooting so bad though. It is an interesting Rest v Rust dynamic in this game Philly with a long 6 day break and Boston one day off after a tough 7 game round one series. This game in the end doesn’t change my overall feelings on the series but wow props to Boston they look fantastic tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 It does change the way I view the series, Simmons being a nonscorer against an elite defense gives me more reason to believe the Cs can win this series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know now. Sixers are missing wide open looks. They can't buy a 3 tonight. That's not good defense. That's terrible shooting. And on the other side, Boston is on fire. And they can't miss.

kyle21121 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Also Stevens is COY. No other arguments despite several well deserved coaches are valid at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everyone knows there's 0% chance you guys shoot 47%. This shooting performance literally won't happen in the playoffs again for you guys.

Not relevant to what I said but there's probably pretty good chance that Rozier outplays Simmons again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to talk about why the Sixers have been bad tonight look at their 3 point shooters. Open looks aren't going down. And that's not on Simmons. That's on Saric, Covington, Redick, and Ilyasova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Mc has a better shot IMO, No one expected Ind in the playoffs. But the dude who should win it is the bozo from Tor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes if he's 11-18 from the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston closes out well They played Embiid straight up and Simmons straight up. Boston has above average/very good defenders in Rozier, Smart, Tatum, Horford, Semi and eventually Brown. So if you want to think it was just a case of missing open shots, fine. whatever makes you sleep better tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feels like this can go 7 games with both teams winning at home. Celtics chase and make the sixer players uncomfortable while trying to free up for a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
