The Celtics were looking good early in Philadelphia, but then the second quarter happened, and they fell apart. Tyrese Maxey was too much, Joel Embiid was a beast, and it looked like Boston was cooked. But then they found some magic with a little more than two minutes to go and they nearly came all the way back. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explains what happened in the second and why Joe Mazzulla’s timeout strategy was instrumental in getting them a chance to tie with the final shot.

so why is payton playing?
I’m getting sick of these types of losses once we were down 13/14 I had to turn it off. I could stand it anymore. The mentality just isn’t ThereWhat are we gunna do with big centers. Jaylen neeeedddsss to clean up these stupid turn overs or he’s gotta go. Close games he’s Mis dribbling and out of bounds passes. He freaks out in close games with minimal pressure. No one near the glass to get offensive rebounds ( at all, 4 blue jerseys to 1 white
Even defensive rebounds. And all just looks different this year
Sixers would have blown them out if the Sixers would have took Melton out😂😂😂
Payton needs to play with the same intensity as he was. He has no confidence when regular season comes around as if he’s not aloud to shoot wide open looks, honestly we might have to many stars. Those 5 wins were against shitty or injured teams
Ever since I saw Tatum mom at my local mall they’ve been playing like ass. Thanks Brandy
It’s a long season boys. Nothing to be worried about. There were people out there expecting them to go like 30 wins undefeated to start the season lol.
These losses will make them more motivated because they know they should have won these last two games
Mazulla is a head case, just like JB.
I swear every time we play them especially at Philly it's some of the worst officiating I have ever seen. To prove my point look at pp at the end of the half embid literally bodied the crap out of him hit him in the head and everything and no call
Mazulla is NOT Spoelstra.
Maybe they overpaid Brown? He’s not looking very valuable.
Dudes are worried about erections in an emergency. What a perfect representation of todays clown world.
Relax people it’s 1 game . Plenty to go
I hold my breath whenever Brown dribbles. He has mediocre handles and he makes bad decisions when he has the ball because of it. Also, Holiday has been a bit disappointing on the offensive end with unforced TOs and missed shots at close range.
Jaylon Brown is not worth 300 mill. Payton Pritchard has been the worst bench player so far.
The C's are still breaking in.
I love how Joe pulled the crazy girlfriend on Gary Washburn.
How much help does Jayson Tatum need?
It was very frustrating to watch. Falling to the ground, and poor ball handling again. Where are the other bench players? I would rather see them play some nights.
A normal game from the starters and it's a blowout. The lead would've been 20 at one point.
