    Clearly a foul across both of Joel's arms, but that's fine.

    Just a friendly reminder

    If only the Celtics could play crappy teams as well as they played elite teams.

    Good game. Al Horford did a tremendous job on Embiid, and the Celtics (especially without Irving) are a terrific defensive team, which will only improve once Baynes is back.

    I think that Brown needs to change the system up a bit the next time they meet -- the offense got a bit stagnant, and Embiid took a few too many frustration threes. They need to get Tobias Harris more involved, too. But that, along with the integration of the new bench pieces, hopefully will all come in time.

    And Ben Simmons has to shoot better than 29% from the FT line. Losing the season series and the potential home-court tiebreaker definitely hurts.

    They haven't matched up well against any of the three. But to me, it's pretty irrelevant, anyway (other than for head-to-head playoff seeding/homecourt advantage), since half of the rotation players just got on the team within the last week. There will be a lot of "figuring it out" over the next month-plus. It doesn't seem that the number five team in the conference should be considered a top contender, so at the moment, I certainly have my reservations.

    I am happy, though, about the 7-5 mark they just posted against some really good teams despite having completely different personnel than they did at the beginning of that stretch.

    Not a Wade fan, I don’t think he gets a warm reception tonight. This incident created the classic Dirk line when asked about it before capping off one of the biggest NBA underdog stories. Additionally interview shows true perfessionalism and love for the game.

    I’m really happy with this team, despite some obvious miscues over the last few games. Those will get better as they practice together, and it’s really exciting to finally feel like we have a full lineup.
