Well, that sucked.
The Celtics crushed the Sixers on national television 135-87. The Sixers had 58 points through three quarters.
Honestly, it was worse than the score even indicates.
The Sixers are treading water in an odd transition period before the newly-acquired James Harden enters the lineup following the All-Star Break. It’s understandable for any Sixers fan out there to feel embarrassed and I won’t blame you for doing so, but it’s going to be a different world when Harden finally takes the court. Again, it was a garbage affair. I don’t want to absolve the Sixers’ players of blame for such a poor showing, but I also want to help keep Sixers fans steady if I can.
