Shit happens on the inbound. Problem is the defense...these last two games was been unacceptable defensively. Jaylen in particular - getting back cut AND losing shooters. They're not taking away anything from opponents.

They should be able to get it settled though.

Embiid was an absolute monster - gotta give him credit as I've railed on him for conditioning late in games.

Celtics don't play for so long now. At least Marcus should be back.

That's a deserved L.

If Kanter and Theis weren't hitting in that second half, the game would've been over half way through the 4th quarter. Too many shots were given up, letting Embiid do whatever he wants, and some dumb plays like that last inbound play.

Sixers are going to be a big problem in the playoffs and each match up is starting to make me miss Al (traitor) more and more.

You'll never be able to convince me that James Ennis isn't a sleeper agent for every other team in the league.

Luka with his second 40 point triple double.

edit: Done with 41/12/11 on 14 of 24 shooting in 34 minutes, Mavs win an "away" game in Mexico with the crowd chanting MVP for him.

At this point, I'm willing to see Demar traded for anything just so Lonnie Walker, Dejounte Murray & Derrick White can actually get minutes together.

as much as we all shit on Philly for underachieving, there isn't a single team in the league they're not gonna give problems in a 7 game series

it is a bit weird that Luka has a negative on-off, but I blame Porzingis (and the vagaries of 24-game sample sizes) for that.

like, obviously it doesn't mean anything, it's just surprising that it's even possible given how good he's been.

friendly reminder one of the marquee Christmas games is Rockets/Warriors. 48 mins of Harden dribbling at the top of the key, shooting 3 for 17 from three and 55 points, Russ westbrook shooting sub 30% from 3, and warriors g league attempt at basketball. Happy holidays!

Their bench has been pretty solid this year, too.

these numbers are a little outdated but

Is it though? I mean, even among his usual Celtics gushing he specifically pointed out the Sixers as a massive matchup problem for the team which was only proven entirely correct last night.

The more I listened, the more it evened out a bit. But they started by saying how AUDACIOUS Stevens was going to be, running out five undersized guys and daring Embiid to beat them. They tried that exact strategy last night and Embiid ate them alive, so it's not going to work. That's when I posted.

but then Windhorst and Simmons went on to say that they imagine it would be difficult to take four out of seven from the Sixers without a high-quality big. But Simmons also said he thought it would be like rock, paper, scissors with the Celtics, Bucks, and Sixers, and one team would be another's kryptonite and if the matchups fell the Celtics way, they could make the finals. But the Celtics are the best matchup for which of those two teams? They couldn't beat the Bucks or the Sixers
