The 3 he hit in the 4th to push the lead from 4 to 7 was huge. Probably the biggest shot of the game for us.

The 2 shots Tatum hit at the end were big. But we kind of had the game already in hand at that point - thanks in large part to horford's big 3.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Cs hit a lot of silencer threes in the 4th. Brogdon had one too when the Sixers were down 5 with all the momentum, and he just hit a ballsy three to hike the lead back to 8. Gutsy performance by our guys.

Something that I liked is that Jaylen and Tatum didn’t give a **** that Embiid has blocked them a ton. They just kept going at him, there was a stretch in the 3rd quarter where they scored on him on 4 out of 5 possessions.

Great win and I think just about everyone played well.

Harden was awful and looked like he didn't want to even be there.

Seriously though Grant needs to get himself checked up. Head traumas are treacherous.

Brown is picking up Harden full court, they are starting their offense hecka late. he's defending Harden so differently from g1 IMO. that D puts pressure on their entire offense. not the only way he's in harden's pocket and I'm not going to let it go as harden just playing like caca.

this doesn't mean they can't adjust but jb is defending him differently initially and our guards are doing better getting around screens (smart is going to get around screens no matter what).

If people aren’t enjoying Joe’s deadpan by now I don’t even know what to say.
