INSTANT REACTION: Celtics lack of ‘urgency’ costs them, despite late comeback attempt vs. Sixers



Eddie House, Brian Scalabrine and Drew Carter join Tom Giles to offer instant reaction and analysis following the Boston Celtics’ 106-103 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Boston trailed for much of the second half, but cut a 14-point deficit with under 3 minutes to play in the fourth quarter to a one-score game with seven seconds to play, before ultimately falling short.

  1. As sixers fan, I finally feel like we are playing basketball the right way. Celtics always a problem for us. Finally, seems like the sixers will actually play the right way for once.

  2. I think these past two games were good for the team, they started smelling themselves too much,maybe thinking they could turn it on whenever but too little too late. I think JB is feeling the pressure of that contract, but with Holiday and White on the court JB don't need to be bringing the ball up ,pass it out and holiday will set it up,this team hasn't had a true point guard since ??? Well smart, kemba, Irving, even rozier weren't true point guards,they're all looking to score as much as set up.

  3. How much money did Brown get again? The past two games hes been horrible. Pritchard crying last year that he wasnt playin or not playin enough and so far……HORRIBLE. Same ol CELTICS!!!!!!!

  4. Coach Joe Mazzulla still now a draw a play & need stop 3pt attempt if our team still struggle a game, we need take advantage need aggressive attacking to the basket 💪🔥💪

  5. The Sixers are playing with determination and passion. It's something I have not seen in this team since the process started. Kelly Oubre is a big part of it. The speed of Oubre and Maxey is forcing Harris to play with more energy.

  6. Funny how it is when you are coaching young ones you are pushing defense, hustle for loose balls, the fundamentals, but once you reach this height it's like a broken record, blah blah same story line. Good thing it's still early and they can nip this and play Celtics basketball, if not it's going to be a long season like last year 🙄

  7. 2 problems with the Celtics . 1 – the coach is not ready to be a head coach and 2 – the current bench is obviously trash. Both Pritchard and Hauser are strictly just 3 point shooters that will only make their shots as front runners. At this point Al is just a 3 shooter offensively thats also not making his shots. Kornet blows shouldn't even be in the league. We all know Brad isn't blind or stupid so moves will be coming but they gotta do something quick because you need a second unit that has plenty of time to get used to playing with each other. I personally always thought our bench should be as follows: JD. Svi. Walsh . Horford. Queta. I know Queta is injured now so maybe Brisette at 4 and Al at the 5 . That should be the line until Brad brings in another length guy or shooter.

  8. I know it’s only 2 games but through the first 4 games the Celtics were attacking the baskets now there going back to just jacking up threes, and turning the ball over and there not getting kristap the ball, he’s only given the ball wt 4or 5 seconds wt no choice but to Jack up a bad shot! Brown is struggle they need to feed kristap the ball more, but It’s good that going through growing pains early, I still have confidence they’ll figure it out! Lets go Celtics 🍀🍀🏆🏆

  9. C’s came back cause sixers got complacent. If they kept it up it would have been a 20 point win. Sixers have wings now that defend and are deep. Getting rid of beard is an addition through subtraction.

  10. Same two main stars, same pathetic habits. Brad really screwed the Celtics being obsessed with the wrong players for this team. No matter how many players you change around them, this duo has too many similar awful habits to win a Championship. Brad Should have traded Brown for Lillard. They would still have a great bench and two differently skilled superstars including a point guard! A much better player than Brown and without a 300 million killer contract. Brad did more than enough to remain competitive for maybe longer but this organization isn't about being just competitive. Now Embid is their only hope. But the Sixers are somehow better than these celtics and without getting any great players like Brad did.
