Celtics were down 3-2 last year too and won the series vs bucks.

Doc has blown 2 3-1 series leads, 3-1 not 3-2

Hes blown a few 3-2 series leads as well

Celtics are favored game 6

Philly hasnt and wont be favored in any game this series lol

Its just a script playing out here

You said they weren't going to win another game in this series. They got flipping SERVED at home.

But nothing to see here - right?

Great job by the Sixers, Doc and Embiid.

Props.

Celtics blew it. They may throw away a chip this year just as the Bucks did.

But I think Game 6 is something of a legacy game for Embiid and Harden now. I'm a bit surprised they pulled out Game 5 in Boston, and I don't see them winning Game 7 in Boston. If they blow a 3-2 lead with a chance to close it out at home, people will have stuff to say.

I like watching the Celtics lose almost more than watching the 76ers win... I know. I'm a bad person.

Great performance, soured by the refs might as well call them the Push Off Celtics.

The strategy to hard double blitz/trap made both Tatum/Brown uncomfortable

The Giannis wall gameplan? He gets 30+ and gaudy stats but the team’s offence looks pedestrian. Will be interesting to see if Tatum gets 30+ in the next game but the Celtics struggle to crawl over 100.

Well Boston may be short of another championship but at least that one exec got back at Udoka for being the guy his wife took for a spin.
