This is great, but let’s not play down to them. This should be an easy win
Let’s whoop their ass
Attack the rim.
I want a 2-0 series lead in all four series we play
NO.EXCUSES. They better bring the energy
Man kinda sucks, I wanna whoop this team fully healthy
But embiid kinda brings this onto himself with how often he flops/falls to the ground
I mean if he does, he’s clearly at less than 100 percent given its at least a grade 2 sprain
I am infinitely more concerned about them blowing this game now lol
pls dont play sloppy and lazy thinking it will be an easy win
thats the celtics usual move
Well hopefully these Celtics don’t play down to their opponents like history would suggest.
tough but man if the Celtics finished Atlanta in 5 embiid probably misses at least 3 games this series
i know i want people to be healthy but fuck it
It doesn’t make sense that he’s out tonight and there’s “optimism” that he’s going to play basketball in 48 hours from now. I don’t get the logic in that. Realistically you’d think he’d come back for game 3 and miss game 2, because what is the difference going to be between now and Wednesday that will make him play game 2 and miss tonight’s game.
Trap game.
No more fucking around. Go get a definitive W tonight.
No ball rolling up the court when we are up 15 in the fourth. Keep attacking.
Well, that makes two of us.
Easy game 1 win
Can’t play thinking that it’s an easy win bc Embiid is out
100% he’s not playing on Tuesday!!
Tatum should be punished if he attempts more than 6 3’s this game
Game 2 is Wednesday, not Tuesday
Ima pour 4 fingers of Buffalo Trace and watch this thrashing tonight.
Lol at everyone is the other thread stating he would play.
Star player out? We screwed
Yet another Boston Mickey Mouse run
No Embiid, no excuse. Take care of business. Not only should we win big but we should be dominant in the paint tonight. I want 50+pts in the paint and no more than 30pts allowed
Please please please no one tell them this. Need them thinking embiid is completely healthy and ready to drop a 50 burger again
No way is he coming back for game 2
Ok guys. Let’s dominate
Very Celtics game to lose. The rivalry with Embiid brings the best out of the Jays. Almost think we would be better off in these home games with him playing and the intensity being mega high. Hoping they show up and handle business. Get to the rim, I don’t want to see 14 3s in the first q
Put up a big win.
This should be viewed as an opportunity, not a break
Queue up all the soft ass sympathy calls 🙄
