Philly seems to be playing with little energy than they did compared to when they played the Heat.

Essentially what you are seeing is a team with some veteran experience and presence vs. a team without.

lol Philly is gonna have to address Horford now. He's just abusing every mismatch. Either don't switch, or take Marco out for now to get more defense. Seems like Boston is trying to isolate him on D.

Philly also can't buy a 3.

Philly couldn’t be more cold. Boston isn’t even doing anything special. The Sixers are just missing shots

Fultz was a negative anytime he was on the court in the Miami series. I don't blame Brett for not playing him, must suck to see Tatum out there.

Bucks don't seem to have anything else other than Giannis and Middleton, Sixers are definetly stronger team than the Bucks. It would be much harder for the Celtics to beat the 76ers than the Bucks. The bucks had their shot in game 7 until the 4th quarter started.

Is Justin Anderson really a better option than Fultz? At least Fultz can still pass and rebound at a good level.

Damn the Celtics without Kyrie, Hayward, and Brown are beating the GOAT Sixers team by double digits that has Magic, Kareem, and a player that’s on the level of Gordon Hayward (Saric)

I'd argue the 76ers have more veteran experience than Boston with Reddick, Amir Johnson, Bellenelli, Ersan compared to Boston Horford, Baynes and Morris.
