Did Boston not have a timeout? I would have run a play there. They still got a clean look though.

If a 3PT shooter who has gone 4-9 from the night gets a wide open shot the win, that’s about as good an attempt as you can hope for.

Can Embiid still stand up?

I don’t know, Doris was just raving about Smart’s rotation on probably the biggest bucket of the game by Harden

At what point do the 76ers fans eventually turn on Embiid?

That 'The Flash' movie ad couldn't have a worse NBA player to use. I know he won MVP but he has to be the last superstar I think of when I think of THE FLASH.

my god, Mazulla should have taken that timeout lol
that was a horrible play, Tatum kicking out instead of going all the way when the game is ever

going for a three, I guess it's hard to change up when u play like that all season
terrible play

I'm telling people this dude is a fraud. He is 82 game player not a 16 game one. Can always count on him to underperform and choke, but people will make excuses for him and blame his teamates and coaches :lol: :lol:

Crazy how Joel, Harden, and Maxey are good for getting their own buckets and yet they can seriously struggle in the half court. Their go to play is indecision.
