     Boston is gonna need Tatum to be who they expect him to be 5 years from now. Hes gotta step up to give them a chance. Alot to put on a rookie but I expect him to shine. Hayward, Irving and Brown out. Just ridiculous. Not sure they sure they have enough firepower even with Brown but without him its gonna be tough.

     No matter how well philly is playing right now, they are still a young team and I expect their inexperience to show at times in this series. Stevens is an excellent strategist and he will do his best to expose the weaknesses in phillys roster. They have the personnel to give philly problems defensively. The question I think is if they will be able to score enough. 

    I have no doubt that the Celtics will play smart and physical basketball. They are not going to roll over for Philadelphia. If philly thinks this will be a cakewalk to the eastern conference finals, like everyone seems to be predicting, they could be in for a very rude awakening.

     Tatum had 16 at the half and was giving Philly the business, so you might be onto something. Also, is there a better young coach than Brad Stevens? That dude is PHENOMENAL.

     like I said lol, yes Philly has a bright future, but ya’ll seem to forget about these Celtics.. Irving and Hayward will come back next year.. I get some of you don’t want to see Lebron in a sixers uniform, but if you want a shot at winning in the next 2-3 years, you pick him up. Add PG13 to the sixers vs the celts next year and I’ll pick the celts anyday of the week and twice on sunday.

     Boston limited the fastbreak oppurtunities and fored Philly into halfcourt offense everything was contested. Knockdown shooters arent getting wide open looks thats when Simmons has to take over and attack the rim. These are things a rookie learns over time but hes gonna have to adapt quickly because this Celtics team is well coached and they still have plans to win it all.

     J Tatum is just a special player. If/when he gets stronger over the next few seasons, I expect him to become a regular at the Allstar game.

    Boston made an impact without Jaylen Brown tonight says a lot about the direction of this team next year if their core sticks around.

    Boston showed a lot today.  They play in a great system.  GM and Coach are amazing at making the most out of talent.  

    Kyrie Heyward and Brown playing in that same system makes them even deadlier.  Very worried about the Process in the future.  

     

    Looking forward to more battles but basically…I think every Philly fan at some point today was wishing Lebron was playing with us today.  If only out of fear for the future.

     

    I right now think Boston can easily win this series and will not be sprurprsed at all if they do.

    was under valued in the draft beacuse of his 3pt shooting, iso scoring and defense, but look at how him now, He’s 6’8 closer to 6’9 and he’s ballin, I’m so impressed by the boston scouts, Even before the draft they had this guy number 1 on their board
