Low IQ display by Celtics coaching and players....you are down 1, why are you running out the clock? You go quick even if you miss, you can foul and Philly would only be up 3 max. Turrible

they thought they were phil jackson and kobe

Harden had two massive game, but he is gonna disappear in the coming games. Sixers are not winning this series

[uberhikari]

I don't usually watch Philly games. I had no idea Embiid's offensive game was so one-dimensional. It's all mid-range jump shots. He can't even post up Smart or Tatum and get easy bunnies at the rim. He doesn't even try and fight for deep position in the paint.

[Dennis Reynolds]

Thank god Harden made that one

Why so timid? Talk you chit LMAO

[sp6r=underrated]

I get that Philly fans have to support their guy but I mean you can't deny Embiid is just not a fun player to watch with the constant flopping and flailing.

Well I'm not a Sixers fan but the NBA is basically a pro-flopping league. If you're not going to like floppers you're basically left with a near 40 Lebron and Jokic.

Coach doesn't use timeouts on final possession, ends up going to the worst shooter on the floor both times.

Definitely the most bizarre decision making by a coach I've seen this season.

Harden saving embiid again

Man, Embiid had 34/13 on 26 shots. Let's not pretend Joel didn't show up.

+ 15 FTAs

Some interesting calls on the 76ers.

GOOD DUDE HARDEN!

OK IM ROOTING FOR PHILLY NOW JUST CAUSE OF THIS GESTURE!!

[ForeverTFC]

I’m sorry. This is disgusting. Using this dude as a prop.

[Wolfgang630]

You only drain the clock if the game is fking tied. You go quicker so in case you miss you can try for a rebound ffs boston

[MoneyTalks41890]

Harden and Horford both giving Father Time the middle finger

[Dirk]

Harden is winning today.

[Lilseb93]

That's bad coaching by Boston IMO. Call a timeout, set up a play, and if you miss it, you have a chance at a rebound.

Instead, now you're in a high-pressure situation where somebody has to create a shot.

[BCbudraptorfan]

harden a real 1 for that

And why brown leave harden open in corner

[AussieCeltic]

I don’t mind not taking the timeout but why wait until the last second? When down 1, you should always go early so you have time to play the foul game if you miss.

Seriously third time that’s happened this season. So dumb from the Celtics

[Jkam31]

THIS IS WHY YOU CALL A TIMEOUT, MAZZULLA.

AGAIN AND AGAIN .

No t really they got a great look just went to late
