Sixers defense has been good for the most part.

This series has definitely been about who has hit 3s

Melton if he is not shooting well should see his minutes given to House . Tucker the same.

I actually believe these guys play better on the road so it’s not over. Less expectations and pressure.

To me, the key to stopping Boston is to run them off the 3-pt. line. Make them take contested 2's with Embiid protecting the rim.
I'll give up 2's, but not 3's. Tough 2's are not their game, and don't create those 13-0 runs in a couple of minutes. Make the game a slog, and it plays into our hands.

Yeah I like that. Very hard to maintain that all game. We are super slow to recover.

If there is a Game 7 for Lakers vs Warriors, then Sixers vs Celtics Game 7 will be played at 8 pm Sunday on TNT. If not, then the Sixers will play at 3:30 on ABC.

Ugh. Should be 330 either way.

This series is now 50-50 guys. Have some faith. It’s a college game. Best of 1!….I honestly believe this team plays better on the road

True.

Before the series begun, who would have thought this could go 7?

We have already exceeded expectations, and the pressure is on Celtics.

We should play freely like G5 not today.

I think home court in this series is a massive stress for the home team.

I'll make this quick

If they lose this game, I can't follow this franchise anymore until Josh Harris is gone. I'll add to it by rooting for the Commanders to go 3-14 this fall. He's 95% of the problem. Don't even bother arguing me on this.

I feel a little better. We had good shots just didn't hit them.

Only mistake and a big one was not going to Jo after 3:53

Lol whoops, fixed that, thanks for catching it.

Still think we lost the best chance to win this, and now we have to play out of our minds, but I take some solace in that the shots were there.

Ok, I was just confused there, don't really see the point of Jokic, a 38 minute triple double when 30 minutes of it was in a blowout and didn't get benched until 2 minutes left in a game that was over with at the half.

Post game interview

Doc : we need more trust.

Harden: we trusted each other, shots just did not go in.

Doc ain't gonna be throwing anyone under the bus if he loses G7. He ain't have the chance as he will be gone.

Again. The reason for shots not going in? I believe it's all mental and pressure.

It's massively difficult to win at home in this series. They wanted to perform well in front of their fans but that got them over excited to an extent it's become nerve. I wish this team is full of Maxey who would just go out and be fearless. But that's hard to do.

Boston in G5, same thing. Us in G6, same thing.

The pressure is off for us. We will at least play freely which will help us big time.

Need another 30 pts performance from Maxey.
Harden needs to get 20+10 at a minimum (I think this is the most important factor, meaning our offence is flowing)
Embiid needs to have his usual 30pts
Tobi needs to get more than 10 pts not just 2pts.

Yup. And Melton was a 40+% 3pt shooter

He's shooting horribly this series outside of game 1.

Now the media is painting this picture that Joker is way better than Biid.

Biid needs to be playing like MVP next game or he would get flamed so badly..

i mean he;s been to two conference finals and has leveled up in the playoffs. Biid has not

Biid has no excuse this year...he deserves any slander that comes his way if he doesn't perform in game 7. Needs to have an all time performance like Steph did against the Kings. He has been great defensively but MVPs carry in these spots...he wants the glory then he needs to show up.

He has been too passive at times lately. Too soft on his drives tonight which lead to turnovers. Rob and Horford were in foul trouble and he never attacked.

This has to be his playoff moment. Win or lose...he needs 40 next game IMO.

Put up or shut up time

True. I just had a look at Jokers stats in the post season. Geez.
