Jason Timpf reacts to Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers’ 106-103 win over Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night where the Sixers defense was the story in shutting down the potent Celtics offense. Jason explains how Philly forced Boston out of rhythm for most of the night due to great perimeter defense.

Sixers definitely is crazy with the switching
usual regular szn stuff 🥱 sixers will choke as usual in round 2
Celtics need to work harder to generate quality shots. Settling on a night they’re shooting poorly is so unintelligent. Time to grow up
i think part of the celtics prob in crunch time is that they dont honor a hierarchy. in yrs past guys like smart thought they should be the first option on certain clutch possessions. this yr it could be potentially even harder w jrue and jaylen n zinger who can all get a bucket. like dwade w bron every1 has to take a backseat for them to get the best shot possible. that should make tatum take more responsibility for closing games too
He says ""They held embiid to 27 points"" like anybody can put 27 points. Like that's a good thing?
The Celtics look like they were going away to what made them great in the first 5 games. Its like when they feel pressured they revert back to inefficient iso ball. They are more than capable of generating great outside looks but just make it hard on themselves. Mazzula needs to be more stern on making sure that when things get tough in a possesion they go back to a fallback plan that isnt just an iso 3s. They should do more switching schemes with porzingus for mismatches, or Tatum PnR at the top of the Key.
I also feel like pritchard is a vast liability right now. Bro has scored 0 points in 3 games straight and hes not good enough defensively to make up the difference.
Celtics are just falling apart, not good enough and never will be. Tatum is a number two guy and honestly a team with Jaylen Brown can't win a title unless he's in that Tobias Harris occasionally make some plays when they're desperate role. Would say they need to make a move but nothing to really be done, you need a top 7-5 player to win a championship and Tatum will just never be good enough.
yeah cause nick nurse. I've watched this team under doc rivers. If you watch, guys are closing out on shooters, switching fast, getting back into rotations. A lot of what you're seeing is just coaching. And making adjustments in the game. Doc rivers sucked at this, didn't know how to sub etc. You add Oubre jr, and maxey being more aggressive now that the "system" is gone you get this. Embiid is himself, dominant. You right that game was over but a flurry of stuff happened to make it closer. Like the pickups, but if philly can get a deal with them drafts from the clippers. Even a dude like brogdon or OG, best would be lavine (prob not) this team could be the team to beat.
Youre underestimating maxey, they could win this year due to him.
The Celtics shot selection has always been a problem, specifically under Joe’s coaching tenure. They rarely take time to set up the offense before JB or JT jacks up a three with plenty of time left on the clock. Like a wise man once said, “Live by the three, die by the three.” It happened to them last year and I fear it’s going to happen again.
Still ok with my Celtics. I feel like we will still win the title.
Trade brown
Sixers should go after lebron
What frustrated me the most was the No call on the out of bounds violation of Embid to end the game. Should have been the Celtics ball with 3.8 seconds left and all the NBA did was say “so we blew the call, we are sorry”. I’m not saying the Cs should have won, I just hate it when the game it decided by no calls and miscalls . I want AI robot referees.
People will always sleep on Maxey cuz we wasn’t a lottery pick. He’ll have to average like 30 for people to say that he’s legit lol
2 losses and everyone is freaking out. They will be fine
47 3's Boston? Will not win a championship doing that. 76's look like they did last year. Embiid putting up points that will not be there in the playoff's.
Point brown definitely needs to stop, and point tatum is better, but still needs to stop, and either white, jrue, or pritchard even needs to be a pass 1st pg, but make there shots when left open type pg.
If shut down is losing by 3 points on the road, that’s scary 😂
Let’s not pretend there is not an effort issue or toughness issue carried over from Minnesota. Tatum needs to man the F up.
Celtics game looked a lot like miami series
Clanking shots and not adjusting
I think the real takeaway here is that Boston is not dangerous
When JB tries to force his offense bad things for the Celtics always happen it always seems to end up in a fast break for the other team 76ers must have scored 14 points alone on JB’s impatient play
The Sixers are legit under Nurse. They're top 2 in the East along with the Celtics.
GTFO of here saying you can't take the Celtics over the Bucks…..😂
