Shame. Could have been a genuinely great series were Simmons healthy. Just wasn't meant to be this year.

This win was a lot harder than it should of been. Seems like deja vu with this team this season.

He has been enormous defensively despite being frozen out on the other end. He's playing at kawhi level. Give him the ball Brad.

I know Jaylen hit a ton of big shots, but Tatum was by far the best player on the court tonight.

I won’t fight anyone who gives Jaylen the VC though, we don’t win if he didn’t get it going in the 4th.

Only good thing is that without Hayward they can still beat the Sixers. Need him healthy for next round though

The guy can’t stay healthy to save his life. Wish their was a way to get rid of him.

Why do u care about margin? Win the game. Simmons is terrific, but this is the nba. Everyone can play.

Also, on another note.

Why does Nbcsports stream cuts abruptly off. So annoying.

Kemba came through at the line but definitely needs to play better.

Knee is holding up for Kemba even after those splits he does while dribbling.

Lmao Brad didn't call a TO and risked a turnover in like 3 different moments, before calling a TO once we crossed over.. The guy just refuses to impact the game and minimize unnecessary risks.

If anything, winning this kinda rock fight game makes me feel better about this series. We didn’t manage to play our game really and we felt their size, yet our D held up and we found ways to win. I’m confident we’ll be able to impose our speed and style better in upcoming games.

Hope Hayward doesn’t miss any games tho. Also hope this is just a game Smart needs to get out his system so he can be good smart again.

Mavs-Clippers game next is going to be a good one to watch

Yeah let’s get rid of one of the best 4th options in the league, solid plan. Also, their is the wrong use there. Be better.

Don't foul a 3 point shooter and get a stop.

OKC. Schroder steals and lays it up lol.

We might be down two wings tomorrow for Game 2. Looks like the basketball gods want us to play these undermanned Sixers on even terms, huh...
