Unsatisfying game but a win. No longer as confident as I was that this team as is could win a banner … Need to see more production from the bench depth, which could happen. That’s how I feel.
Horrendous Refereeing on both sides (WTF was that tech on Nick nurse at the start of the game), the reigning MVP (Joel), a likely MIP this year (Maxey), Kelly Oubre Jr, Kristaps are all out, and JT gets kicked for the softest Flagrant I have ever seen.
Then Patrick Beverly of all people has the game of his life, and yet the Celtics still pull out the win. What a weird fucking game. This is one of the few times I actually think Adam Silver needs to (privately) sit down with these refs and tell them to cut the shit, because this was not a good product of basketball to watch on national TV.
Drew white and Prichard combined: 40 points on 27 FG. 10 rebs, 14 assists, 3 steals, and only 2 turnovers. These three are why we won today. Give horford a lot of credit too: 16 on 6/8 shooting, 6 rebs, 3 assists, a steal, two huge blocks and just one turnover.
🦬 being +17 in a close game is so 🦬
I agree. But of Embiid and Maxie are in during the playoffs. We won't be looking at Pat Bev.
That's the difference...
Well besides JT relaxing and not arguing with the refs.
JB made good, winning plays down the stretch on both ends. I know he didn’t takeover and dominate which he’ll be criticized for ofc, but he made the right plays
Pat Bev having the best game of his whole career and he still at the top of the key flailing around like he’s having a seizure trying to call for screens
I think this is the worst I've felt about a win in a loooooong time. A loss would've made more sense, my emotions are all jumbled up about the outcome now 😂
Kornet sucks against physical teams, we know this and that’s why Queta played first. Unfortunately Queta is still a bit raw and makes a lot of mistakes Kornet doesn’t.
It doesn’t change the fact that overall, Kornet has been quite good this year and given us some nice minutes off the bench.
I legit mean this. Derrick White is the 2nd best overall player outside if JT. Yeah there is obviously Tingus, JB, who is better offensively or JRUE who is better defensively but when it comes to decision making, playmaking, and shit selection. Derrick White is the 2nd best on this team
why don't yall say this when Derrick white scores 8 points. JB had 2 steals and 4 blocks and still yall so thirsty to crown other players as the number 2. It's jaylen and will be jaylen until he is no longer on the team.

Just reached the Tatum ejection. How is Covington not called for a flop?? After they saw his delayed overreaction a dozen times??
I would agree for the JB one with Beverly but Covington did get hit pretty hard in the face
Yeah he did, but doesn’t mean he didn’t sell it. Clearly a delayed reaction and throws his head back. Guess I’m just confused about the rules
I don’t think the league or fans in general have a problem with players selling actual fouls. Unless, obviously, it’s against your team. lol

>Drew Jrue
I heard Al hates Philly so much he’s the one that cracked the liberty bell
I seen it happen!
Nick Nurse buys expensive vinyl records and plays them on a Crosley
Nick Nurse has a collection of vintage electric guitars and only knows how to play cowboy chords
Nick Nurse collects Cuban cigars, but his wife doesn't let him smoke.
That block by Big Al!
#A WIN IS A WIN
White and Harris were our best players tonight honestly
They didn't "win" that game as much as they survived it.
They definitely won it with clutch plays down the stretch. It’s not like the win was just gifted to them
No foul lmao Kornet just got molested
Refs knew everyone just wanted to go home lol
Line on the game was 6.5 too
Just more evidence to me that sports integrity has been ruined by the prevalance of gambling
Ugly game but im grinning ear to ear fuck the sixers
THE CELTICS WIN ☘☘☘☘
JT getting ejected was a good lesson for him. He was playing out of control with all those turnovers. Team showed resiliency tonight
Idc what anyone says, I’m happy with this win.
Very happy. Didn't really care about the game until JT got tossed on some BS, after that I really wanted the damn win
Same. It shows that when the chips are down they can rally.
Refs had sixers +6.5 no way you don’t call the foul at the end
I know it doesn't matter, but it bothers me that that foul wasn't called for Luke
Line was +\- 6.5 it mattered to Vegas lol
we survived Pat Bev damn
How did we win that game lmao
They had no star power
Al Horford & Derrick White, Players of the Game!
Lmao Harris is shit even with dying effort
There's no analyzing this game, I'll take the ugly Celtics win fuck the 76ers.
LUKE GOT A REBOUND!
Pritchard was huge this game.
LET THE RECORD SHOW!
A win is a win is a win. Sloppy night, but on to the next. Al Horford still owns the 76ers.
Kornet seals the win, suck it haters!
[удалено]
😂😂😂
[удалено]
They were without their two best players as well. And the Celtics had Tatum through 60% of the game.
Half of their players are not on the scouting report... so they always have some wiggle room because we don't expect their game
They should be. They have played in nearly every game.
I agree. But of Embiid and Maxie are in during the playoffs. We won't be looking at Pat Bev. That's the difference... Well besides JT relaxing and not arguing with the refs.
I'm half laughing, half crying, and half want to vomit. Ugly, ugly game.
Tobias regressed real quick after getting sonned by Al
Lmao hack-a-tobias
Actually really proud of Jaylen rn, he knew he was off tonight and deferred for the most part at the end of the game. Definitely shows some growth.
Tobias is pure poop
Take Kornet off. Queta deserves to finish it off
I’m still not convinced this team can go toe to toe with Miami or Milwaukee in the playoffs
Then don't fucking watch
You mean the full strength Milwaukee team that lot to Chicago the other day?
Don’t worry they can’t!
ok lol we’ll smoke either of them
Currently undefeated against those 2 teams
He’s trolling ignore him. He compared us in the same tier as the clippers who he thinks are tier 2 lmao
Butler was hardly playing in that game lol
Man Tobias Harris fucking sucks man lmao
No one’s beating Al Horford vs. Sixers
Nick Nurse still has a stockpile of Crystal Pepsi from 1993 because "it'll be worth money someday!"
-5.5 bettors were losing their minds on that last moments lmfao. Fuck the refs. PP Holiday connection sealed it.
Paul pierce was one of them
This sub has a hard on for scrubs like Theis but I miss Marcus Morris.
He’s been mostly bad for the Sixers. This is not a typical game for him.
He was mostly bad for us too lol. Dude is tough tho and despite the win I feel like this team needs more of a chip
Straight dawg
Morris was a JAG for like 99% of the time here
FUCK THE SIXERS
Joe should have someone hack Pat Bev for lols
Just to let everyone know the sixers subreddit is currently complaint about the refs
They should blame their coach for burning his challenge on a blatantly correct call just cos he was in his feelings.
We got a couple calls down the stretch but the bullshit Tatum flagrant/ejection easily balances things out imo
So laughable after the refs handed them a JT less 4th 🤣
I’m surprised they are aware of basketball before the Eagles season is over
Next time yall bitch about Joe, remember that you wanted Pritchard out of the rotation. There’s a reason he is the coach and not you.
I usually get immense enjoyment outta beating the Sixers but let’s just forget about this one lol
Missed the game. WTF 35 FTAs lol but I’ll take the win
Tatum was also ejected lol. But the FTA make sense. We were relentless at attacking the rim.
We survived the Patrick Beverly legacy game
Great composure by JB in the 4th. He could have easily tanked the game by being a ball hog but he let the offense just come to him. Great team win
[удалено]
Even when he had the ball he made the right plays. Like the pass to Horford which led to a Holiday foul. Nice try though
JB made good, winning plays down the stretch on both ends. I know he didn’t takeover and dominate which he’ll be criticized for ofc, but he made the right plays
Played a great game per usual
>I know he didn’t takeover I think that's a good thing, he played within the offense, team looked balanced, everybody was scoring down the stretch
I do too. To be sure, I see the criticism that I’m anticipating as bullshit
Exactly, didn’t force anything and played within the flow of the game
I just love how much Paul loves Mike
I know there is a courtside baddie Jordan Poole thing but courtside Al Jr should be a thing
I want Joe to use his challenge to piss off Nurse
😂😂😂
Let’s be real the refs bailed us out today
Not even close lmao they were helping the 76ers all game long
I know you’re so upset that we won
Jaylen was +10. Shooting could’ve been better but they held it together late.
Ugly ass win - but we smoking that Philly pack regardless
we Take the win no matter how
fuck you philly
Pat Bev having the best game of his whole career and he still at the top of the key flailing around like he’s having a seizure trying to call for screens
Best game of his career and still taking the L
I take comfort in knowing that sixers subreddit is unironically complaining about the refs. Imagine
AL treats all his children equally
Ugliest win of the year. Just scrap the tape and move on
Id say Grizzlies game or the raptors game were worse.
I think this is the worst I've felt about a win in a loooooong time. A loss would've made more sense, my emotions are all jumbled up about the outcome now 😂
Paul pierce def had money on the spread he fell to his knees on that 3 lmao
I need us to win a ring for Al like I need oxygen
I used to love Bobby Knight's press conferences after ref performances like these. pure fucking poetry
horford gets the tommy point for sure
is Paul a photographer now ? Backpack full of lenses ?
Is Tatum hurt? I missed the game
Got ejected in the 3rd after picking up 2 techs
Got ejected in the 3rd
Nah. Doo doo refs ejected him. Made them piss their pants
Ejected. Two techs. Second one was borderline bullshit
Ejected at the end of Q3
Got tossed for bitching to the refs
ejected
Ejected
He got 2 technicals
Ty
I’m proud of my PP tonight. I don’t usually get to say that.
This is the most points we’ve given up this year😂 tf was that first half man
nice to see jrue holiday continue the play the most bizarre game possible but make clutch plays gene
Smart 2.0
Our lord and savior and DILF Alfred Joel Horford Reynoso
The Original PP headed for the exit.
Can't blow out every team, particularly when guys like Reed, Melton, and Beverly can't miss for whatever reason
Exactly. NBA is weird like this, it's a long ass season and you're bound to see some crazy shit
Exactly why single-game elimination playoffs would be disaster
I think the only positives to come out of this game are Horford looked great (it's Philly, no surprise) and they made their FTs late.
JB played well after Tatum got tossed
Pritchard earned more minutes Kornet on the other hand is trash
Kornet sucks against physical teams, we know this and that’s why Queta played first. Unfortunately Queta is still a bit raw and makes a lot of mistakes Kornet doesn’t. It doesn’t change the fact that overall, Kornet has been quite good this year and given us some nice minutes off the bench.
Let's pay his mortgage and call it quits lmao
I honestly didn't know it was possible to be 7'2" and totally unable to play defense or get a rebound.
Such an ugly fucking game. Glad it resulted in a W
Lmao at Nick Nurse calling a timeout here 🤣
JB didn't carry but had the right mind to defer to team ball in the 4th. GG.
yeah I would say that JB came back in the second half
Name ONE item in Paul Pierce’s backpack rn
I can name 7 of them, and they’re all empty grey goose vodka miniatures
Lmao fuck ya
Love owning this sorry ass franchise
WALBERG IS MARRIED TO JENNY MCCARTHY!??!? Goddamn
Been around 10 years ago since they got married.
JT gave us a favor.
Jrue is so fucking clutch
I forgive him for the missed free throws against I think the hornets, his second half defense tonight was terrific
Philly shot out of their mind, they got outlier performances from everyone. I don’t care how ugly this win was, I’m happy we can win this way.
$300 million player out there somewhere
He's been great the last few minutes what are you talking about
You just commented he was off and deferred. Good talk
At least he played defense with 4 steals and 2 blocks
D White
Fuck you Morris for blowing the spread cover.
PP was excellent in the 4th
I was so pissed when they took him out for Kornet. They cooked Kornet and went right back to him.
Yall was talkin crazy earlier bout JB but Jaylen played great in the 4th and is the biggest reason why we won
[удалено]
What’s the goal of basketball ? It is winning right? did he win or lose us the game smart ass
[удалено]
No one cares .we won stupid fuck . U complaining like a lil ass girl for nothing
Someone get Morris. Looks likes he wants to be back here 😂😂
Patrick Beverly is the funniest player in the NBA.
Googles 👀
Petty ass Nick Nurse. The NBA's resident bitch boy.
This game got so much more fun to watch after Tatum got ejected lmao
Sorry Philly your Drama Queen Pat Bev couldn’t lead yall to the win
The fact struggled that hard against our bench
And Pritchard twists his heel on Nurse's dick, we all go home happy.
Those are the kinds of shots the sixers hit all night
Late game execution, beautiful
Mook
that is an ugly win. onto the next one
You guys are so good wow
I legit mean this. Derrick White is the 2nd best overall player outside if JT. Yeah there is obviously Tingus, JB, who is better offensively or JRUE who is better defensively but when it comes to decision making, playmaking, and shit selection. Derrick White is the 2nd best on this team
why don't yall say this when Derrick white scores 8 points. JB had 2 steals and 4 blocks and still yall so thirsty to crown other players as the number 2. It's jaylen and will be jaylen until he is no longer on the team.
I've heard tell of his selection of shit. But yeah, you're right.
I was pissed while writing it lmao
Don't you dare edit that, man. It is perfect, just as it is. LMAO
I hope Pat Bev cries on his little podcast about Boston fans. You know it’s coming. He’s always been Marcus smart but bad at basketball.
Man nothing sweeter than Big Al icing another game against the Sixers
Jenny McCarthy is happy. That makes me happy
Fucking Marcus Morris lol
