Sixers are lucky they get OT. They've looked flat in the half court this whole series.

Sixers win this one in OT. Celtics shrink in big moments.

Tatum should have rose up on Maxey. Would have been a clean look

ESPN more or less delivered the MVP to Embiid. They know him losing will make them look bad too.

Embiid is a good player but his annual meltdown in the playoffs doesn't get talked about enough. Really did cry his way to an MVP.

Celtics just look better honestly. Is harden going to do this for 2/3 games when it comes close? Seems hard to believe

AD and Embiid are so annoying to watch. They love the mid-range jumper so much all they do is float around the perimeter. They have no idea how to establish deep position in the post.
