Brown with 3 obvious offensive fouls and the refs let it go, yet Philly was getting called for everything under the sun in the 4th.

Tyrese Maxey is a baller tbh. That dude looks way faster than Fox with the ball

 

[Mugen]

If Joel is healthy, that’s gonna be a fun series tbh

 

[Neuromancer]

Glad the Celtics got knocked out and went out chucking and bricking threes on their home court. Poetic in this era of three point spamming

 

[poopbox]

Psycho Joe went out doing what he loved...bricking a bunch of 3's

Brad Stevens should have to walk that EOY award to Brian Wright house barefoot tbh

Mazulla about to win COTY too

Mazulla COTY after being knocked out in Round 1 lol

Just beat me to it

Pulling hard for Detroit tomorrow night tbh. They’re the only team left that can make it tough for the Knicks in a 7-game series imo, though I still think they’d lose.

I am curious what Boston does now. Do they have the resources to sign someone good this summer?

It would be a brutal decision but do they final move on from Jaylen if it means better balance and depth?

Healthy Philly will make it tough tbh if healthy. Obviously huge IF as always.

 

[CGD]

some times you absolutely die by the 3 tbh.

That’s most of the time in the playoffs.

That and plus I refuse to watch a single second of Magic vs Cavs but especially Magic vs Raptors!

Need Philly to beat the Knicks, they're really the only team that gave us trouble when we were on fire this year... NBA Cup finals before/after we were beating the Thunder 3 times and first loss after a perfect February. Our only win was by 2.

Yea I don’t trust Embiid’s body at all tbh. Dude could barely walk up the floor in that 4th quarter tonight. He just can’t seem to ever stay healthy. Wouldn’t be surprised if he missed time in the next round.

Damn, forgot about that!

Honestly, does the regular season even matter anymore? Seems like it’s meaningless between the tanking, injuries, the 82 game slog. And if that’s the case are these award tainted? It’s silly that we don’t factor in playoff performance.

Brown was trash down the stretch.

Brown can't do shit but complain to the refs when he doesn't have a stacked roster around him

 

[Kick-Stand]

Nick Nurse deserves some credit here, solid coach. Knicks may be waiting for us in June.

fify

 

[BatManu20]

Would love to be wrong and watch Embiid finally have a healthy Playoff run btw. Healthy Philly is fun to watch and I think they can at least take a couple games against the Knicks to extend the series.

 

[Hyrup]

Gotta say Embiid diving for the loose ball on one leg was pretty badass.

i'm holding out for the 99 redux of minny, lakers, portland, ny championship playoffs. The lakers one obviously being the most impossible one to hit

Celtics window closed with this coach + group

IMO the injuries just makes it all the more “important” in that you have to have the depth and management to go through it.

82 games with a lot of b2bs is not the way to go tho IMO

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Stop it with the Knicks fellatio we'd sweep those lame fucks if both teams make the finals. Wemby losing to Kat? Stop it

it's never closed, they play in the shitcan east.
