INSTANT REACTION: Horford has ‘best game of season’ on both ends to lead shorthanded C’s vs. Sixers



Eddie House, Drew Carter and Brian Scalabrine join Amina Smith to offer instant reaction and analysis following the Boston Celtics’ 117-107 win on the road vs. the Philadelphia 76ers in a ‘playoff-like atmosphere’. Boston was without Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis, but huge night’s from Al Horford, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum, among others, led the way for Boston in the win. Later, Abby Chin catches up with Horford in an exclusive 1-on-1 interview following the game.

  1. This team is really fun to watch. Huge win and I hope they keep playing like this throughout the season. Go Celtics 🍀

  2. If You keep keeping Lamar, Oshae, Walsh And Queta (Speaking of Which Why would You Sign em if he's Perennially Injured?!) … Keep Keeping em All off the Floor… YOU WON'T WIN SHIT!! Playing Sam, Banton, Luke and Svi 1st up 8 through 11 Is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING STUPID AND COMPLETE INSANITY.
    Sam Will Fail. 0-10 Then 3-8 Ain't Gonna Cut It. Luke IN GENERAL Aint Gonna Cut It. And What Exactly Do Banton and the Svi Bring?

    Let's Get It Straight. Ok D White, AL and Jrue Saved the Night. BUT WE GOT LUCKY.

    MAZZULA BLOWS. PERIOD .
    HE WILL NEVER WIN A TITLE IF HE KEEPS THIS NONSENSE UP.
    PERIOD.

    DEFENSE FIRST.

  3. Everyone stepped up and did what they needed to tonight. Horford with all the 3’s after a quiet start to the year is a great sign too.

  4. This is them. In November. On the road. Down JB and KP. Against an MVP. Bench contributed, JT was clutch when he needed to be down the stretch. Defense was amazing all the way down the lineup. Shout out to Joe, too. Phila made runs, but Joe made good adjustments and used time outs well.

  5. The Celtics somehow got away with playing soft D at the rim most of the night. Philly handed this game to the Celts and the boys said thank you very much! Any team that has a stud like Embiid should give him the rock ten feet from the rim and let him dominate / get to the line.

  6. It’s amazing how White only averages 12.5 a game. He knows when he’s needed to shoot and when he needs to distribute. They needed those points tonight

  7. I was dying laughing when Amina called out Scal for complaining about sleeping on the cot 😂 good team win tonight c’s!! ☘️

  8. Horford has always had Embiid's number. Dont know how but hes better than most at guarding Embiid.

  9. Al is driven bc KP is starting. They need each other, and I hope they’re using the competition to make each other better.

    You can compete with a teammate, without wanting them to lose.

    I hope they’re driving each other, wanting to beat each other, AND rooting for each other.

    They’re going to share the court in the playoffs, no reason to shade.

  10. The thing with this Celtics team is they have a lot of experience and intelligence. They might lose one game, but that's probably all it's going to take for them to figure it out.

  11. Shout out to the Pacers who played the Sixers the night before. The game was a track meet and it had a negative affect on Embiid and Maxey last night.

  12. What chage from last year? They finally learned not to force things. They were not rattled. There had been an instances of those bad habits in the 4Q but they are able to fix their composure and just win the game.

  13. Some people MUST OF GOT IT TWISTED, now y'all know who is truly number 1 they had 2 bench players out we had 2 starters! Money is money but BIG AL knows where he belongs!!! #Celtics
