I'm not even mad, Celtics are getting good looks, Sixers are making a lot of contested ones. One of those games.

I also don’t understand how Tatum hasn’t touched or shot the ball after the opening play.

Could be a fake comeback game or a 76ers choke job at the end. Not ready to give up.

Man Spoelstra will run circles around slow mo Joe, if this team ever gets to the next round

Well I'm 5 minutes from taking my frustrations off on golf balls at the range unless they get it under 10.

Our shooting is just pathetic today. That's fine to happen once a series, but this just makes me angry about game 1.

Tatum may rank 20th in playoff scoring after this one is over.

I missed the first half. Do we just not have it today or what? Scoreboard watching I saw JB got 2 early but didn’t look like anything else against us just missing shots?

Imagine if we had Spo as our coach today.

It's a wild thought experiment.

Can't we let just Harden drive? I rather allow him to go to the hoop than keep giving him all of this space.

They're abusing Horford too
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Good old drop. Playing defense from behind the body and with a guy 6 ft away under the basket in no man’s land.

Not let them get exactly where they want to go every single time for easy shots.

Harden and Embiid have 15 and 16 shots. Tatum needs to get more attempts, even if struggling. I'd rather lose it with him taking shots the rest of the game.
