Of course we get MVP Harden flashback this series. He will go back to being washed against any other team…

By who? They're still people fighting to the death for Smart.


Media. Same media that ate up Harden for a week during games 2 and 3..


Coaching is the problem. Then smart.

Jaylen gets to the paint at will. Just give him the ball all game and ditch Tatum in a corner at this point.

They have 2 MVPs playing like MVPS - GODDAMIT

Tatum ain’t
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Might need White and Brogdon to go off for 20 each to win.

Once again, JB carrying us early. We need to not forget about him in the second half.

What I love about our offense is how it's always four guys standing around waiting.

Good job to the refs not falling for the 76ers foul baiting on that last possession. First Harden fell down while Brown was guarding him, then Embiid tried to leans into Brown when he shot to draw a foul. Good no calls.

Celtics cannot afford Brown/Tatum foul trouble in this one. Both guys with 1 already.

It’s definitely a little frustrating to see Booker blow up with zero help other than Durant and Tatum is barely over 20.

Amazing how they don't bother to show up for a home playoff game. This core might need a massive shakeup
