Over the last 2 games the Celtics has finally got back to their IDENTITY… and that’s strapping up on the defensive end. They have completely shut down Harden, Maxey and Harris!!! Carry the hell on… – 10:12 PM

Offensive masterclass from Jayson Tatum in the final minutes.
The kind of performance Boston has rarely gotten from him in the second half of the season. – 10:11 PM

Harden’s playing terribly. And yet, the pick-and-roll with Harden handling is the best (and possibly only) vehicle to get Embiid the ball in the middle of the floor, where Boston can’t double – either directly or indirectly.

29-28 Sixers after 1, but there’s going to be a tech on De’Anthony Melton for kicking the ball when we come back from this break.
Celtics are shooting just 10-25 from the field, and just 5-20 after their hot start. Joel Embiid leads all scorers with 12 points on 3-5 shooting. – 8:26 PM

Will the @Celtics maintain their focus in Game 3 against the @Sixers tonight… or will they again let their foot off the gas?
Marcus Smart knows it’s a problem, and we asked him about it. His interesting response — and a Three Stooges reference:

Joe Mazzulla said that Boston’s approach in trying to slow down Philadelphia’s offense is a “battle for real estate.” He said that the focus is to be physical and try to keep both James Harden and Joel Embiid from getting where they want to go offensively. – 6:02 PM
