He let Maxey and Harden off the hook. They had a combined three fouls in 48 minutes. That shows a lack of aggesssion by Brown and the other guards. Too many jump shots!
So you think his legs or arm was shot?
I don't know. He disappeared in the 2nd half...

That's what I'm trying to get a handle on.
It's been said before that he isn't getting shots in Q4 after being real hot in 1st half so I paid attention when he had the ball in this game's Q4 and was surprised to see him give it up a couple of occasions.
How can he be so confident to start the game then shy away in Q4?
It's one thing if not getting the ball or acting as a decoy cuz of a problem but tonight I thought he got the ball in good spots with an advantage on his defender yet didn't take advantage.

That is by far the most insulting thing you could say.. Comparing me with Fierce. Might be time for Pud to excersise his '' Mod Powers'' and suspend me. The refs suck the announcers sucked all game i'll give you that.... I'm waiting on Fierce with both barrels loaded.....

You just know he'll credit JT with getting us to OT ... all those clutch baskets in final minutes dispite being a ghost for 2-3 Qtrs.
Haven't seen him all day ... must be upset over being criticized for last game pump of JT.

It could have been Tatum a hero past 2 games last 3 minutes. He scored 7 pts in game 3 last few minutes although some felt his scoring wasn't needed to win but tonight it damn well would have been.

Mazz needs to put the analytics away and coach. Use what he sees in-game to make decisions. He can't leave it up to the talent of the players to win.

Mazz does not call time outs because Mazz does not have plays. Mazz only has excuses.

What? Embiid got called for a charge on Smart. We got a good call on the foul called on PJ Tucker when Smart flopped on a screen attempt. Minimal contact by PJ Tucker, AND AT THAT TIME OF THE GAME, in my opinion, should not be called. We lost this game. Better yet, WE FAILED TO GO WIN IT. We had ample opportunities but we failed having NOTHING to do with officiating. Is that so? Well let me fix you: WRONG. We lost this game because of blatant officiating in favor of 76ers. Then we miraculously came back to win it. Then we lost it. Right. Fixed it for you, in case you haven't watched. 23 fouls were called against Philly. 21 fouls were called against the Celtics. Where was this blatant officiating in favor of the 76ers?

I'm just hoping you don't have some variant of Covid. If your heart you'd be weak. Take care ... I'm sure your daughter will do what's best for you. Stay in touch!

I did not have an issue with the refs. called the game the same both ways imo. I did have an issue with the no TO called at the end of both regulation and OT. I understand the "let them play" thought, but obviously Doc was going to leave Smart open both times (and he did). I would have prefered to see Brog or Hauser on the floor (or both?) tough loss but if Harden goes off for 42, hard to win.

For those thinking that JT is already in a class with Bird...
... that's Larry on the left and WNBA star Sue Bird on the right.
Just say'n.... but maybe you guys are half right.

I agree -
Hugely bad decision (and unconventional) to not call a timeout there. If you go against the grain, you better be right, or youll get beat up on by pundits and media.
Like Pete Carroll not running the ball. Or in a draft passing on the consensus best player available and going with someone else, then the player you passed on - who so many thought youd get - turns into a stud.
You hear about it louder and more frequently - when you against the grain and then look foolish for doing so. Probably deservedly so.
That was terrible to not call a TO. It was also terrible (but maybe not as terrible) for the players on the floor to just let so much time tick away. Dont you want to leve a couple a couple ticks for a possible second chance opportunity? I hate that , wait until theres 7 secs to run your play.

The one thing those criticizing me for my Pierce > Bird take are wrong about is the ages.
Pud said if you were 40 instead of 30, youd think otherwise. And hes right. But he means 50 instead of 40. Im 38. Was born in '84. While I watched the Celtics my entire life, my earliest memories of the games I watched (where I had a semblance of understanding of what I was watching) were in Birds last year or 2. And even those memories are hazy.
But I became emboldened to declare Pierce a better Celtic (but not better player then Bird) when I heard Tommy say it repeatedly. There is no doubt that Pierce was insanely underrated for a very long stretch of his career. Even some Celtics fans to this day, continue to underrate him. He was an amazing rebounder for a guard/forward hybrid. He had an impressive 3 pt % (career) considering he was double covered for 2/3 of his career. He could create for himself. But he didnt really get the national love, or really even the local love he deserved.
So that pushed me more and more into his camp/fandom.
More than anything though - its because how underrated he was and still is. He was the closest thing to Lebron before Lebron became lebron.

I gravitate towards players who I think are underrated. Maybe part of it is my ego, but it just seems more personal when you see something in an athlete that you think is underrnoticed. And it leads towards comparisons and debates - which are always flawed - but they are fun.

Hmmm... the thing was bird is he was the best passer ever. I like to say magic was the best passer ever on the run, but bird had the best half-court vision
