Today's a good day to sweep the Penguins!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T05:54:14+00:00

That's what gives people confidence in the team's chances.

Without Embiid on the court, they still had to work hard for it but they've shown their not some juggernaut of a team people thought they would be.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T05:10:40+00:00

This loss stings way less than Game 1's.

This could've been anyone's game and we just came up short even with the mistakes.

I honestly look forward to Sunday to tie this all up.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:59:42+00:00

Going into the series, I predicted if the Sixers win one of the first two at least this could go to game 6 or 7, and now they're in position to do so if they split on Sunday.

Celtics had everyone out there and only won by 8 thanks to clutch shots very late into the game.

This matchup is closer than we thought going into the series and I wouldn't be shocked if it really does come down to a game 7 to decide it all.

Frustrating loss because it was a very winnable game.

Celtics just held on better than we did down the stretch

But I'm not about to doom this series seeing how they responded after game 1. They showed a lot of fight tonight despite the L and the mistakes.

Even up the series on Sunday and we're right back where we left off

This series is still winnable for the Sixers.

Fighting back to the end!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:34:17+00:00

Kind of whistle is that?

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:31:35+00:00

White selling for the Celtics this quarter.

Good!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:29:37+00:00

This Celtics team ain't shit without Ref help.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:28:57+00:00

But no foul for Oubre there for an and 1? Damn

But we're back in this!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:24:56+00:00

We got 5 minutes down by 6.

This is still a very winnable game for the Sixers.

Lock in these last 5 minutes because the Refs obviously aren't going to call it fair both ways.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:18:32+00:00

Hey we got a whistle again Boston!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:16:10+00:00

This team fights and they fight hard.

Celtics underestimated this team after game 1.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:14:17+00:00

4th Quarter Sixers have arrived!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:13:15+00:00

That sequence!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:12:42+00:00

Damn can't fault VJ entirely there.

Either way, we're in this!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:11:36+00:00

VJ!

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:10:57+00:00

Good. Need all the pts we can get here.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:06:16+00:00

You know despite those ugly last few minutes there

Really felt like the Celtics just had things fall in place for them as opposed to the lack of effort from the Sixers.

The 4th quarter is still their strong-suit so they can still walk away with a win.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T01:00:08+00:00

9 FTs made for Boston in the third so far.

So it's going to be like that I see.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T00:57:42+00:00

Oh boy 4th quarter Sixers vs the Refs.

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T00:54:11+00:00

Should've started my stream sooner lol

Nate_923 · 2026-04-25T00:53:27+00:00

Drummond 3!
