For the 3rd time this season the Celtics did battle with the Philadelphia 76ers and for the 3rd time this season the Celtics were defeated. The Celtics last night took on the 76ers in Philadelphia. The Celtics were playing on the 2nd night of a back to back. However the 76ers would be forced to play without All-Star Center Joel Embiid while the Celtics were fully healthy. Despite the absence of Joel Embiid the Celtics were unable to prevent themselves from being beaten by the 76ers for the 3rd time this season and giving the 76ers the tiebreaker. The question must now be asked do the 76ers simply have the Celtics number and is this Celtics team capable of winning a potential playoff series against the 76ers without making a move to the roster. The Celtics the night before the loss to the 76ers lost to the San Antonio Spurs in Boston. Head Coach Brad Stevens opted not to rest any players and even though the Spurs spent most of the 2nd half up close to 20 points Brad Stevens opten not to waive the white flag until less then 6 minutes was left in the game. So can we now say its officially time to question Brad Stevens and if he is wrong for not putting enough importance on certain games which could play a bigger role in the standings later on in the season. What about the performances of the Celtics top 4 players in Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown.
