It's hard to imagine how the celtics are staying this close. Feels like they should be down by 15 at this point.

I guess it's mostly brogdon.


Yeah they’ve gotten big contributions from guys like Timelord, Smart and Brogdon. It’s crazy how they are still in this.

A block on Tatum, a steal on Brown.

I don't know. Seems like Maxey is holding his own.

That HAS to be a clear path foul on Maxey.

When necessary he is an adequate defender.

Fred would slow the Sixers down.

And if Harden leaves Philly will need another guard. Not just leave Maxey by himself

Slow them down how? Harden is the Point Guard and he is slower than Fred
Maxey is a point- guard-size combo guard that has fully benefited from playing with a 6'6 point guard. There are not that many 6'6 Point guard

Happy to see Maxey play well after struggling so much earlier in the series.

Celtic players are so hesitant to pass it to timelord in time. They're always a second late.

everyone on the sixers maybe for harden showed up tonight esp maxey.
If they lose this game, I think the emotional letdown will be too much and celtics win game 7.

FVV is a below average shooter now. Cooked on defence.

He wouldn't start for Philly.

I like the challenge, 5:25 left you don't know 100% that you will be able to use it again in a worthwhile way. Get the ball back and get a bucket and go for the jugular.

Nick Nurse would have used his challenge in the 1st Q
