This is wild, we may have the better coach in this series. Rivers has been better most of this season and looked good tonight. Only thing I had to complain about was not seeing House at times off the bench against their wings. There is a connection between Doc and this veteran team that just works.

I'm happy to eat my words. Don't think he can do it every night, but if he can bring even 75% of this with a healthy Embiid, this team wins the chip.

I always respected Horford even after his stint here, but this is serious loser energy


This guy has been a thorn in our side, even when on our team, for years. Such a great feeling for Harden to bury them right in his face.

Btw great decision and composure of the Sixers to not call a timeout on that Harden ISO

We're capped, not much money we can offer him, specially if Harden opts out and we max him. Hopefully he doesn't get an offer sheet


He's our own free agent. Capped doesn't matter... just a question of how much luxury tax ownership is willing to pay.


Agree. Unacceptable for ownership to cheap out on keeping the guy we've always needed behind Embiid. Especially after they ducked the tax this year.

Who's Anna Horford? I think I missed a storyline somewhere.

Muzzalla should just admit that the last play is similar to the play he run to free up Tatum in reg season to win G4.

Smart falling to the ground to take multiple sixers defender on the ground to free up his teammate

Al Horfords sister. Has been **** on Philly ever since Al left the Sixers, basically was a Celtics fan even when Al was on the Sixers. Has taken joy every time something bad happens to us, and is always trolling. She's pretty toxic.

No human being can score and play like this every night but he can still be a 30 points a night player but he has adopted a new way to get the most out of others

I mean Harden did in Houston haha. Joel did to a lesser extent the last two years.

Some girls gets attention from their looks, some gets attention from being a troll.

Best game by Harden in the Sixers uniform. F the Celtics. They are a grind em out team so if we are in touch any game is winnable imo.

Tatum had a good game so law of averages dictates he’ll put up to 3 stinkers because he’s so shot reliant.

Amazing win! We took one without the big guy. I really do prefer him being a 22/12/2 block guy with best defence in comp ala what AD is doing at the Lakers right now. And let Harden/Maxey take the offensive load.

That version is far superior than the offensive slanted Embiid imo, saves the gas better too if only focusing on one end.
Li WenWen is the GOAT
