Sixers in general and Embiid in particular need to take a hard look at themselves in the mirror, despite the win.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

I don’t mind not taking the timeout but why wait until the last second? When down 1, you should always go early so you have time to play the foul game if you miss.

I knew the ball would go to Smart when they didn't call a timeout. But awful job by Tatum there obviously.

Coach doesn't use timeouts on final possession, ends up going to the worst shooter on the floor both times.

When Tatum was sitting with the ball holding it with like 5 seconds left I would have called a TO personally

Poor coaching decision not to take a timeout there. Poor decision to help off Harden and leave him wide open in the corner for a game-leading 3 too. Boston deserves this L.

I’ll never understand going that late when you’re down you need a rebound in case you miss it so what benefit do you get from waiting so long

Nice win the 76ers. I’m going for the Celtics but happy they won because I don’t agree with those calls down the stretch.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Harden is truly an enigma. He was horrible for 2 games and amazing for the other 2.

I am glad Harden could get that game winner for his guest.

Joe should've called a TIME OUT man. Could've advanced the ball to half court. ****!

Embid counting his lucky stars that Harden is in Philly. Philly crowd would've destroyed him for days.
