I don't wanna hear how we didn't deserve the win.

The winner deserved to win. However, that was some poo poo caca!

Anyone else see the disappointment in White's face when Embiid missed the 3? Is DWhite connected to the mafia?

Refs in shambles losing that one after all the big plays they made.

Yup!

Joe going with Tillman was the right call.

Credit Joe, he pushed the right buttons in the last 5 minutes of the 4th.

It's weird that we won and yet I still feel like an Ass of Shame is deserved tonight.

I guess you haven’t watched the Sixers game this year. They get magic in their butt when they are behind.

If Tatum had played then you're absolutely right.

Tatum is the closer and JB and White trying to fill in is not really ideal.

Tillman really is an excellent defender. Not so great as a rim protector big..just in terms of defending guys (1 through 5) all over the floor who are trying to score on him..he has a knack for it.

Sound positional defender..knows how to play close but not so close that you foul or get burned off the dribble..uses his strength, quick feet, his IQ. All stuff that's similar to Horford defensively.

I'm old enough to remember when people thought Derrick was better than Jaylen. What a Tatum merchant he has turned out to be.

He saw all ya'll posts on here saying he's gotta get stronger so he lifted weights too much which messed up his shot and then he was too strong on those FT's lol.

100%

Credit Brad for not giving up on Tillman because most of the Celtic fans already gave up on Tillman in the summer.
