If AD collided like that after a block he'd break 15 muscles humans have never heard of.

fourth cartographic muscle.

Kudos Philly, definitely wanted it more.

Will certainly root for you guys vs Miami.

Bucks came in to Boston and beat us and we go down 3-2. Everyone said series was over and then Tatum pulls out one of the all time playoff performances in game 6 and we finish them off at home in 7.


Last year's Bucks team was not as good as this Sixers team, and this year's Celtics team is not as good as last year's.


I mean the Celtics team have the same team plus the addition of Brogdon. They might not play as good as last year but their team is certainly not worse


Semantics. Their coach, NET RTG, and clutch stats are all worse.

i think it's hilarious that celtics fans would boo their team. they were just in the finals last year and advanced the 2nd round or ecfs a number of times.

Boston is running out of time. Not getting the stops they need to make a comeback like this. Now I say stick a fork in them

At this exact moment, the Lakers are the favorites to win the title. Just think about that.

If Harden doesn't fly John Hao to Philly for G6, I would. Potential close out game right there.

This Celtics embarrassment is also happening a day after that big Lakers win.

I hate both teams, but i can feel already the latter’s fans are also giddy with what’s happening to Boston and i expect them to troll the other. LOL

Doubling down on what's not working.
Tatum & Brown have never been the type to make others better....very narrow field of view especially Jaylen.

Damn good question. He reminds me of a running back who excels in the open field. In his first start in place of Ben Simmons, kid put up 30+ pts like it was nothing.

As a Laker fan im just happy we had a huge comeback of a season. I dont gloat. Besides our series is far from over.

What Sixers are doing to Celtics is very similar to what Suns has been doing to Nuggets, and Lakers to Warriors.
Be an irresistible force, demonstrate that you are dominant.

But honestly Sixers are doing something more than Suns or Lakers. They are demonstrating that the Celtic are nothing--weightless and formless.
