Lol get 'em, Big MO! Love what this tough vet brings to our young'uns!

[Neurotic Guy]

Embiid is extraordinarily good.  Sixers have a great future if he's healthy. 

No Marcus M -- can't lose it.

[Ogaju]

Love the grit MM brings to the team.

[Snakehead]

Morris not having it from Simmons ha.

Embiid is extraordinarily good.  Sixers have a great future if he's healthy. 

I love his talent but some games I do not love how he plays.  He sits in the mid post sometimes and it's like he's kind of stuck there.  Doesn't make an impact.

I love this team.  They got off to a bad start falling behind by 22 and they stick with it.  They don't get down, they keep playing.  And now they are going to win in what is basically a blow out. I love it.

They just keep coming at you, and they have taken on the personality of their coach. A steel dogged confidence.

It is the coach.  They were doing this last season with almost an entirely different team.  What's the common factor? Stevens.  I'm convinced that he's that good.

[Neurotic Guy]

Have to eject Morris -- right?

[liam]

Football play by Simmons there.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is my favorite Celtics team since the big 3s prime.

How many other teams have been good since though?

The tail end of the big 3, and Isaiahs heroics weren't quite as fun for me. Amazing, maybe, and made me happy to be a Celtics fan, but not as sweet as this team.

Really enjoy this one.  The 2012 team for me was an absolute inspiration in the Playoffs that hasn't been beaten since though.  Love the FLEXING Celtics.

I am a defense guy, a youth guy, and a size guy though so I am very happy with this team compared to the undersized teams for years.

Yeah that 2012 team that went down swinging against the cavs in the playoffs had some great swag.  loved those guys too.  prime time Rondo, KG, PP, Bradley starting and bringing the def heat in place of RA when he was injured...

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Kyrie's out of sync and short on every outside shot. He'll get better as the game goes along.

Our defense looked better, other than leaving a few shooters open.

Edit: Keep playing -- the sixers can't play at this level for 4 quarters.

Again, the Sixers can't play at this level for 4 quarters.

[Snakehead]

Listening to them justify running over a screener lol.

[Atzar]

I've said this before:  I don't like that it's a legit strategy to stick your face in the offensive player's jersey and then get the call when he hits you.  I appreciate that the NBA is trying to protect players from head injuries, but at some point players have to take some of that responsibility on themselves.  If you don't want to be hit in the face, don't put your face in a place where it's exceedingly likely to be hit.

Rant over.

[MVPPierceNoJoke]

I love rubbing it into the 76ers. Embiid and Reddick are so cocky on twitter. They had to tank for four years for the process. Ainge did the exact opposite and we are running away with the one seed with our max player out.

I was going to ask how he did today?  I haven't been able to watch the game, his stats aren't out of this world today, a good decent game.  He seems not ever to completely dominate the C's like he will at times against other teams.

Yeah, his BBIQ is pretty suspect at times, which is understandable given how little he has played in his life.
