Grant Williams begging for a technical foul is the lamest **** I've seen this playoffs and I've seen a lot of lame ****.

We can't win with Maxey and Harden being nonfactors.
2025-2026 Philadelphia 76ers:

Maxey/McCain/Lowry
Edgecombe/Grimes/Gordon
George/Oubre/Edwards
Bona/Watford/Barlow
Embiid/Drummond/Broome

Grant Williams and Smart two professional moroons.

I don't understand why the refs don't see what Smart is doing, invading a man's space then acts like he got murdered.

Really sick of that dude

Because Boston does not send help that much.

Maxey is a mid to below mid scorer.


He doesn't have much shot creation. Not much change of gears, hesitation and counter dribble ability to throw his defender off. The celtics have a bunch of disciplined defenders to stay with him.

He's playing well defensively though active and using his quickness to help.

Melton on Brown is a good decision, gotta wonder if Doc reads liberty ballers.

Just try not to give their best shooters wide open ones, they're not that deadly.

We're more likely to lose b/c/o dumb TOs, fouls, etc that are under our control. Cliche but we need to make better decisions than them and our talent should win out.
