The city of Boston was still in shock over the Bruins being outed in the first round on Saturday night
The problem with the Celtics n that they want to make Tatum look like superstar n the best on the team n they holding jaylen brown back from reaching his full potential cuz they want tatum to shine more imo I think brown is better than Tatum
I just hate Stephen A Smith man. That’s it. That’s the comment.
Mazzula is a Rockeet, do not have the knowledge to go a final, 42-time switch with AL Horford, and doesn't call a play to stop it.
Why they always showing Legs and JJ’s stats on the bottom? They ain’t tryna see that 😂
Stephen literally said Philly has zero chance without Embiid yesterday
Bruh if Stephen A acted like he does in the hood, I’m just telling you, he’d get slapped at best, face down in a ditch at worst.
Why is there high praise for harden? He been like that his whole career and that hasn’t stopped the Celtics from beating him 90 percent of the time no matter what team he’s on. Celtics lost that game harden didn’t win it
JJ. Just shut up. U is. A traitor. To phila.
Dude fed up of u talking yoo.
Phila in. 5
Man y’all better show some love to PJ wit da screens😂😂 he was out there like Larry Allen last night
Joe Mazzulla is a totally overrated rookie head coach. Just like coach Bud is overrated cuz the Bucks won the chip in 21. I'm so glad he didn't win COTY. It's ridiculous he was a finalist. He's got a great team, and he squandered all of that talent last night in an epic failure of a game 1
Reddick never giving the sixers credit..😂😂
Yea…. I was more disappointed in the Celtics smh 🤦🏾♂️!!!
So black 😂 lol so dumb
Don't nobody want to be sellout SAS, JJ Reddick is so much better than SAS in every level of debate..
Keeping Brogdon in when he never closes shows what happens they looked lost out there
Help me with this,, NBA team goes into a Zone there's no one on the Block to post up no one's cutting into the lane especially when the team go to small ball I would put my BIG MAN on the Block and post up and score every time.. C'om Boston..
So good to see the actor Marcus Smart + Flopston Celtics getting cooked game 1.
If Philly ends up winning the chip or showing up to the finals, if I’m Embiid I’d be worried about my position on the team. If I’m the owner/management I would start to looking at ways to part ways with Embiid. Simply can’t rely on Embiid, and I would try to get another big draft or trade to get with Harden.
I’ve never agreed more with what anyone else has ever said or criticized about this Boston team than what ALL 3 of you said in this video.
Good team defense in the 2nd half, nice adjustments by Doc Rivers
As a Boston fan I literally feel like even I can make better lineups than joe mazzulla. It’s infuriating to watch.
Doc rivers 🗣️🐸
kinda seems like tatum missed that pass from brogden. He even lifted his hand after apologetically
9:30 because muzzulla SUCKS ive been saying it since nov that he is the reason celtics will lose games doesnt call TOs and doesnt put ppl in at the right times
Why does these analysts keep focusing on the Celtics losing as opposed to the Sixers winning. The Celtics actually played a fair game, just not perfect. It came down to the wire and the Sixers made one more shot than the Celtics, I don’t get it. It’s weird.
Houston harden is back🔥🔥🔥
Not everyone feels the need to yell all the time.
Embiid not as valuable as you promote…
2:02 ok there's no way that stat is correct
this game was a hoax…. melton and harris will never shoot this well again. This phantom game by harden will not be repeated. Watch for the ole playoff harden to appeart the rest of the series
A cheating scandal might become the celtics downfall lool.
At least the Celtics won't be getting swept like the Knicks. That's for sure
MSG vs Philly East Conference Finals???
Harden has had the best performance so far in this entire playoffs.
