Philadelphia time keeper helped Boston since none of them were making Embiid touch the ball to start the clock.

It was a strange one because it looked like it flattened out. But yeh I think it they probably got it wrong on that one. But for me, the Horford shot looked like a goaltend

I'm not going to defend Tatum's inefficient first half stinkers the last few games but some of y'all need to pay attention to the other facets of basketball if people genuinely think that Brown is a better player. He's not.

David Guthrie is a top 3 worst official, he just loves the sound of his own whistle.

He’s missed some easy shots but other than, he’s making great passes and his defense has been phenomenal so far.

Tatum is rightfully going to get blame for his inefficiency but he does set up the team out there and it’s up to them to hit open shots. Embiid is literally just camping for Tatum in the paint and they’re pressing on his perimeter shots.

Tatum has done some other good things, but he's supposed to be a scorer too not Jason Kidd.

8-11 from the 3pt line. That is very unsustainable. As long as this game isn't a blowout, the 76ers still have a good chance here.

Oh hail no. Reggie Miller is the worst.

Anything can happen in one game samples. Celtics were cold the last few games, now they're hot. They're not going to shoot this well but Celtics easily have a roster that can shoot 50% from deep any given night
