76er could've Embiid , Harden and Jimmy Buckets on the same team we are talking about a dynasty that rivals GSW.

Joe Mazzula must have forgot he was coaching and was just taking in the view from his courtside seats

That was almost one of Doc's late game collapses but Harden and Embiid went off.

Whoever wins game 5 in a 2-2 series usually wins the series.

PJ Tucker is one tough bastard, who saved 2 key possesions for the Sixers and yelled at them fight when their body language gave up.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

I didn’t even mind the no timeout that much, but you can’t start the play at five seconds…

No t really they got a great look just went to late


Not a great look if he doesn’t get it off in time


Tatum had a shot both at the end of regulation and OT, a tough shot - but still a shot
that's why he gets paid the big bucks - to take those shots, all this drive and kicking no surprised this Boston team had clutch issues this season. they play team ball and when it's time for some1 to take them on his back - they continue to defer to one another - to a fault

they had the series in their hands, now there's a good chance they'll be eliminated

Will reply to you but goes for everyone who quoted me: If you’re going to parade him out like that, acknowledge what put him in that predicament and how sad and avoidable it is.

Bum Adebayo wrote:Many will think Embiid played bad at the end because he is scared of the moment, but in reality the issue is plain and simple: he can't play two-way many minutes without being done physically, in playoffs you need to try more on defense, which he does, but unfortunately his stamina is so ****. He needs to be strictly a 30-32 minute player.

Agree. It’s not like he wasn’t aggressive too, he was trying but Horford is just a very smart basketball player. He did hit those crucial FTs and defensively he did okay

Keeping Jimmy means no Ben, means no HArden. Butterfly effect.
