Every time Sixers go up 15, the Celtics respond immediately.

Do you think the C’s maximize their talent? I don’t, this will go 7 but should not.

I was a fan of his from Kansas until the press conference where he blamed Ben Simmoms for the playoff exit.

He is super talented obviously, but I also don't appreciate that the pace of play seems to slow down when he's on the court. I enjoy fast paced ball

If Yao was ref like Embiid, he would legit be unstoppable back then, but he doesn't flop like Embiid tho...

Can a producer get in Mark Jones ear and tell him to stop repeating that Tatum has all his points in the 3rd quarter. He has said it 3 times now and its wrong haha

Why is Tatum protecting his **** field goal percentage? Try to get an actual shot up. You never know what luck you might get and that's 3 points.

I know half court last second heaves are very low percentage shots, but it’s the playoffs. Take the shot while there’s time left on the clock.

Boston is right back in this if they get a couple stops and start hitting from distance, Philly can’t let up at all, Celtics are just hanging around. A 10 point lead is nothing in this league, especially with a full quarter to go.

If I was coach, this behavior would be unacceptable. Players care more about stats than more possessions in play offs, it is unbelevable.

They need to change the shot clock violation. If the other team gets the ball when there's a shot clock violation just let them play.

There's no Embiid. Tatum should keep driving and attacking the basket.
