76ers (20-20) at Celtics (34-11) Game #46 1/18/18

[Chief]

Tatum needs to learn how to take over.

Sheesh, we're making an Old Amir look like a prime Mutombo out there.

[jpotter33]

Good freaking Lord these refs are terrible yet again. Amir's left foot was still in the restricted zone. 13-5 on fouls...

[celticinorlando]

Just no effort at all by this team. Getting punked by a court full of scrubs

[SCeltic34]

How is that not a block by Covington?  He was still moving.   Reggie Miller is a giant idiot.

You can move your feet and maintain legal guarding position.

And Covington didn't do that.  It was a blocking foul.  Tatum didn't do enough to earn a charge, such as lowering his shoulder.

Yes he did.  If you slide your feet and keep your torso in front of the man without using your hands/arms to help it's 100% perfect defense.  Again, it's called "legal guarding position."

Guess we'll agree to disagree.  I'd wager in most instances that type of play would go down as a blocking foul.

He's not ready yet.  People on this forum go on and on about how he's being held back, doesn't get enough chances to dribble.  He's just not there yet.

We can only blame the refs so much. Jacking up 3s doesn't help you get to the line.

[PAOBoston]

Just play the scrubs the entire 4th. This is awful.

[liam]

Horford having his pants pulled down and he gets a call going against him...

[celticinorlando]

Put in the bench and sit everyone else. This game is over.

39 point with 4 minutes left in the 3rd. Offense is a real problem

[SCeltic34]

Nobody is playing well.  Al not stepping up with Kyrie out, only 1 rebound and overall uncharacteristically poor defense.  Easy to see why we're getting stomped so far.

I agree. But Stevens needs to work it into his game.

No worries at all.  I'm just using the rulebook definition.

[PAOBoston]

Do you think we went into tonight with the gameplan of Smart shooting 20 times?

[Snakehead]

Again Smart with a nice scores and moves in the paint in recent games, even if he isn't lighting it up.  Showing more.
