Not sure why the #celtics kept white on the ball for so much of this game. They have so many options to try and cool a top shooter, and Derrick has been great all year as a roamer.

All night. They get to the brink, and then have horrible possessions on both ends with a chance to turn the game. That’s the worst of the night, since they could have taken the lead, but they’ve been doing this all night.

Celtics had cut it to two. Ran a junk offensive possession. Maxey walks into a three. White misses an open corner three. Maxey walked into another three. Sixers back up by eight.

Enough with the drop coverage already. How many open threes do they need to walk into?

That might be it. That quick Tatum missed three followed by Maxey hitting two in a row. This is how it’s been all night. They can’t get over the hump. #celtics

And again. Another frustrating possession. #celtics

Cleansing breath

Plenty of time if settle down

Too many end of clock threes

The #celtics have been one make and one stop away from turning this game so many times. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially after they’ve played all year.

Fuck it, I’d take Hugo at this point. At least he’d bring the energy.

Pritch has been invisible this game. Guys like him are supposed to be better in the home games. #celtics

Every time you think the #celtics are going to retake control, they have a sloppy possession either on offense, on defense, or like then, on both. Incredibly frustrating.

Dear @nbaonnbc.bsky.social, I really don’t need pops for alternate broadcasts while I’m watching a game. #nbaplayoffs

They’ve lost games on three point variance before. If they could pull this out, it will be very demoralizing for Philly.

3/13
2/11

From three is not gonna cut it

Still confident Derrick and PP will find it

Jaylen's missed 3 vs. his made 3 is the difference between trying to answer and trusting the offense to provide the answer

The crowd sounds really quiet. They need to pick up a bit too. #celtics

Just a shit half by the #celtics. Still within contact, but they have to play better.

Joe Mazzulla is going to rip the Celtics a new one at halftime, and it's going to be very deserved. Rare to say this about Boston this season, but they are being outworked. You can't give up an offensive rebound off a free throw to the opposite side of the lane that leads to a three.

At least they got back on that last one with White knocking it away. They’re usually so good at that. The uncontested run outs are what’s so concerning.

The #celtics can really send a message here by finishing the half strong. Philly finally missed a three. Make a run here, and you’re in good shape. Nurse knows that, too, which is probably why he took the TO.

Too many missed Ft #celtics

That’s 3 on George, right?

Player movement.

The #celtics offense looks stuck in the mud.

Dear NBA,

I KNOW it is all about the money and you don’t care about our convenience, but this having to use 3 different streaming services to watch playoff games each night is, (and I say this with all the love I can for the game,) complete horseshit.

Well, that’s about as bad as the #celtics have looked in a while. Had to expect Philly to up the D a little. Still up after one, though, and that whole run came with JT on the bench.

Some not great stuff from the bench, but Vuc looks better than he’s had in a while, so that’s good for the #celtics going forward.

What a garbage technical foul. Absolutely ridiculous. That should never be a T, but certainly should not be one in a playoff game. Officials should be ashamed.

Don’t expect any calls tonight

Just move it
