Finally the 76ers scored in this quarter. Need to keep playing good defense to maintain the lead.

Harden's Jekyll and Hyding as hard as AD. Even making a defensive play there

This game has everything. Harden/Tatum double flop on the wrong side of the court. Al helping Embiid up during live play and then putting up the windmill defense on him. Tobias Harris doing Tobias things.

Dear god I hope the series goes 7.

Hearing the announcing team claim that he has an "Ivy League" BBIQ just made me cringe. This guy has all the physical tools and an incredible skillset but he takes bad jumpers when he has a lane and in the past has been in love with ugly 3s. When he learns to get some easy buckets and ease into a rhythm he will become a cheat-code.
