As someone rooting for the Sixers, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief as soon as the ball left his hands. Dude is never making that shot lmao

I don't like Harden or Embiid. But Harden has shown up here and Embiid has shrunk.

Sixers just can’t blow this chance now, if they really want to extend this series you got to play these 5 minutes like your life depended on it

Correct play call. He was literally wide open with no pressure. Good shot attempt.

Isn't that supposed to be your second options role? Bail out the first option when they can't get it done. Considering his 5/28 the last two games he better have done this.

Nope, Boston deserved victory because of the 4th quarter domination.

Actually, Celtics didn’t draw anything up because they didn’t use a timeout to call something.

Wide open look for smart. I think Tatum had a contested shot. No idea. But that was right there.
