White Mamba lfg
Philly fans are so mad 😂. No way we should’ve won but they found a way to lose once again! Tobi getting blocked and Covington just falling over 😂😂😂☘️☘️😂☘️☘️🤡
PP and Horford won this game!
Horford just plays perfect ball most the time! Experience pays off, he’s been in these games so many times and always clutch! Beautiful blocks!
1st 😛😜😝😝😝😝😝
Now that’s what I call an ugly win 😅 20+ turnovers plus a Tatum ejection.
Stevens please wake up, your team lacks good players. Celtics could hardly beat a Sixers team without 3 of its starters ! This is very embarrassing.
Fanboy Forsberg cannot help mentioning his man crush Marcus Smart again , pathetic🤦♂️
Queta was awful. Al was amazing again. Jrue started kinda bad. And ended very well. Pritchard did some damage. Tatum outscored most of the sixers playing half the game.
The refs are pussies and pathetic. Ugly game. Can’t stop the Cs.
Al determined to get that ring before he retires!
Sixers playing like they have 5 MJ on the courts
Philly beat Boston when White was out.
5 takeaways:
1. Cs were terrible in this game with the TOVs and lack of aggression driving to the rim with Embiid out.
2. Props to al for multiple defensive stops. Shot well and mostly made the right reads as well. Player of the game imo.
3. Shoutout to white and jrue for making clutch baskets. Jrue with a crucial stop and making his FTs.
4. that was a weak flagrant foul on JT. that was clearly unintentional. That was a weak tech as well. luka, lebron and draymond complains more than that and doesnt get techs. JT deserves more respect from the refs.
5. Cs played down to their competition with lack of pace and defensive aggression. How can you let beverley, melton, etc score those many points on good shooting? they didnt make them uncomfortable when they should without embiid and maxey.
That was a disappointing win…. the title of the video gives the wrong impression… Sixers didnt have their 2 best players…. celtics had their 4 best players… and they almost lost…
Horford sixth man of the year cmon
Grim man but we won a game in the clutch, big Al the daddy
A win like this strengthens the whole team and the player's spirit. Keep it going Celtics!
Booked flights, hotel, and got a sick deal on a ticket for Monday night mid game tonight. Let’s gooooo!!!!!
love the fact we found a way to pull out the W but there is no reason this game should’ve almost came down to the wire especially given all the missing pivotal pieces to Philly .. I love how we’re showing that quality that we can grind out wins because last year / previous years we lose this game fasho .. I might be nitpicking but idk I just really don’t like the fact that from a roster perspective we’re better than last year but still consistently play down to our opponent n it really scares me .. they’re human sometimes it’s just not your night & we not going to win every game by 15 pts but the careless turnovers, no defensive aggression, poor shot selection & poor body language at times damn near cost us the W .. so idk if it should be addressed but it’s definitely something to pay attention too
Thank God 4 Al showing up today but how can you let a defensive scrub in Pat Beverly score 26 points and get like 8 rebounds who has done this like 10 times in his entire career to do this on you , not good
Big Al loves to show Philly what's up. Lets get Horford a ring. He deserves it.
Horford . A Bill Walton type impact off the bench
Where is 300M dollar man? Was he ejected too
al horford was great.. but forsberg saying 'i just can't get past al' is a big disrespect to d white, who now leads the league in +/- and win %
tatum and brown need serious work on taking care of the ball, they have truly atrocious assist/ turnover ratios.. frankly this is the key reason why they don't already have 3 championship rings.. just let white, holiday, horford, pritchard or porzingis handle the ball guys!
They won without porzingis
Jaylen Brown ROBBED the Celtics for 300 Million….😂😂
This game last year, we would be discussing how Smart cost us the game. Loved him as defensive player, but having Holiday for theses situations is just insanely underrated imo
Feel like the addition of Porzingus has made Al better this season then he was last season in multiple ways! Its allowed Al to be more fresh and not have to be relied on to be the main big night in and night out basis but when ask to carry the load as the main big he's been able to step up and do so!
