The difference is the coaching.

Not disagreeing but loom who is on the other bench :lol: .

Worse choke than the Bucks imo.
Unless Philly outchokes Boston... which, I mean, Harden & Doc is an all-time great choke duo :lol:

Everyone rather would. The C's are the best collection of overall talent left in the playoffs. Anytime a team like that plays below their potential is a win for everyone

Not enough possessions for a comeback but nice on the Celtics bench for making it a bit more interesting

After 1 season?


Again, he was just meant to be a placeholder under they decided what to do with Udoka. There are wildly better coaches available, so why stick with a guy who was just a rush replacement pick?

Cause they gave him an extension 3 months ago. I don’t think they rushed it

Great game for the 76ers tonight. We simply wanted the game more than the Celtics. Nothing is ever a sure thing in the NBA, however the the 76ers have a great opportunity to close out this series on Thursday and finally make it to the Eastern Conference for the 1st time since 2001. Who know what will happen from there. Hopefully Doc Rivers coaching doesn't make the difference between the 76ers making the finals and losing in the Conference finals.
