Most obvious Sixers loss I’ve ever seen

Philly is still gonna blow it aren’t they lmao

Objectively correct decision

The right move. He just tore his Achilles, we lost him, Dame, Hali. You injured live to fight another day

Really didn’t want to see a re-tear regardless of what happened so even aside from the obvious benefit I’m very glad they’re doing this

Fear not, Derrick white redemption game

Somehow the Sixers will now lose by 30

Pritchard going for 30 tonight

Watch Boston have like a Payton Pritchard masterclass tonight or something

Honestly not surprised. Good move by the Celtics. It’s not worth it at all for him to be out there and potentially get another devastating injury.

Trap game in bound

Probably best for both sides. Joe Mazz was playing him 40+ minutes this series and not handling this situation with care at all.

Philly should win this but why does it feel like this is the exact type of game they lose by 30?

Am I wrong to think Boston it’s still gonna win they won Hella games without Tatum this year

Waiting for the announcement that Joel Embid has legionnaire’s disease 

the right call. takes a lot to get him to sit out but this is more important than just one game

GOOD.

fucking christ can’t do another Tatum IN HIS PRIME hurt/out for the season.

Hello darkness my old friend

Well Embiid, it’s now or never. If you can’t beat the Celtics tonight, you aren’t ever gonna beat the Celtics.

The correct decision

Raptors vs 76ers in the ECF would feed generations

Pritchard legacy game incoming

It’s the correct decision. Can’t risk another devastating injury two years in a row. If we win that’s great and we can see if he’s good to go against the Knicks. But what matters right now is his health.

Also, this is why why you knock out your opponents when you have the chance.

Most obvious trap game for the Sixers now.

Yeah, this is probably the right call. If he messes up his other leg compensating for the Achilles, he might never be the same again.

That said, if Philly loses tonight, I will still point and laugh at them.

Oh no get ready for the Jordan Walsh game </3

Are we about to witness the peak Pritchard legacy game? 

Boston is winning by 15 lol

Yupp not worth getting him injured again. They had a great season but overall this team isn’t a championship level team so no need to risk it.
I wouldn’t be surprised though if they somehow pull off this game still because I still don’t trust the sixers lol

celtics fans better feel grateful he even played at all this season

Really sucks that he has to miss a game of this magnitude after working so hard to return this season. The Celtics have been great without him this season; they can still win this one.

imo good decision, dont want to risk it after such a bad injury earlier

Sixers don’t choke this pleaaaaaaaaaseeee

Jalen brown vs Joel Embiid legacy game

Yup don’t fuck around with that.

1000% the right call. I got so much hate in the Boston sub for saying they should sit him lol. Forgot how dumb our fan base is at times

Good decision. Tough but can’t jeopardize the future. Celtics were 2 seed without him essentially. They can go.

Could still see Philly losing by a fair margin lol.

Seriously though, the Knicks have to get to the Finals this year. East looks wide open and somehow they appear to be the most solid team through Round 1.

Good call, as much as i want to send philly home, risking Tatum missing another entire year isnt worth it.

Bruh, the stars cannot align themselves more right for Philly to win this time…hope Joel finally gets one over the Celtics

Honestly right decision 

I hate to see it, but if they think it’s necessary I’m glad they did. It feels right for this series to come down to JB, White, and the bench crew, that’s what this season has really been

That’s for the best. Sucks that he comes back only to miss game 7 but no need to risk your career

Wtf

no excuses

I guess this would make it hurt less losing in the first round knowing we likely had no chance going all the way anyways

bummer, somehow makes me more scared, im now sure the white guys are gonna kill us

Actually want Boston to win now for my own selfish reasons 🫢

Lol Celtics by 20 somehow

Wow. Celtics still a favorite tho… They have played whole season without him

Celtics still gonna win 

In order to get the best draft pick, Thunder fans must root against a Thunder legend on his birthday

Time for Brown to step up I guess

Obvious Celtics win incoming lol.

Philly is losing now

Sore left calf after a right Achilles repair is pretty dangerous, its common for athletes to injure the healthy side of their body while rehabbing the injured side.

I’m actually relieved right now he isn’t playing. A Celtics W and Tatum getting a severe injury would set the Celtics back for years to come. Would be one of the worst looks for the franchise.

Don’t gotta worry about watching him play now. Even if they win without JT, they better be super cautious about everything.

which non descriptive Celtic is gonna can 15 - 3 pointers tonight?

Trap game for Philly

That’s for the best.

I’d rather lose than have his career threatened by injuries. It’s not like we didn’t win two years ago. This was supposed to be a throwaway season, anyway.

If before I thought the Sixers had a good chance, now I’m 100% sure the Celtica are gonna win.

And now we are doomed. Lmao.

Damn…hope he’s okay, that sucks though

He worked so hard to be able to play in the postseason

The good(?) news is that it’s not on his injured/Achilles leg, so I think/hope it’s unrelated to his Achilles

In before “Celtics woulda won if they had Tatum” crowd.

Correct decision, not just for Tatum’s health but for Joe and JB to prove themselves.

Tatum out means Boston wins. I don’t make the rules.

Good idea, last thing they’d want is a Klay V2 situation. Not like ACL as well, but just losing almost 2 years of his prime

Please don’t lose by 25 Philly, atleast make it a little competitive.

Trap alert. Let’s see who wins
