Team was flopping and getting bailed out by the refs all night and he still blames them. Embiid will always be a loser as long as he plays like a big version of James Harden.

This is the same big man who claims he owns real estate in Andre Drummonds head, right?
Methinks Al was the one collecting rent today...

Man, do the maths on this trend. He'll be dropping 35 on 72% shooting by the Finals.
Might be wishful thinking I guess.

Don't think the Tatum dunk has been posted.

He loves playing Philly lol. His intensity goes to another level against them.

Gave this to Hayward. Mad props to Big Al though, great offensive game plus he kept Embiid from dominating. Al really has Joel's number, and you can tell from the body language.

Hayward by a mile. Surprised this isn’t shutout. LOL at OP saying Smart played really well. He almost shot us out of the game with terrible shot selection in crunch time. Rozier had a crap start but with it on the road vs Philly no surprise for him. Couple big buckets late.

My 65 year old uncle tonight so rightly called he looks like “that guy from the movie the place beyond the trees”. Translation: The Place Beyond the Pines = Ryan Gosling.

Want to show some love for Hayward, but I think Al did more on both ends of the court to deserve the award.

Nice game for Hayward but Horford OWNED this game. He was spectacular.

I hope Philly maxes Butler and Harris.

Idiots.

Horford or Hayward, you can't go wrong. Voted Al because of his leadership. Play-off Al isn't average. He's a winner. Hayward shot the ball well, was resilient. Tatum also had a sneaky good game. Marcus his shot was off, but his heart made up for it.
Also: Ainge won. The process is over. They went all-in to have a team that won't win. Ainge still has two viable options: Kyrie-AD or the young guys.
The East still runs through Boston.

Al Horford is so deep in his head like one of those mythical earwigs that you feared when you were a kid.

Horford.
And WTF Smart, he went 3-14, thanks god he was one of the unselfish players and doesn't want shots.
The worst part is that Stevens allows it, he doesn't have the personality to stop it.

Smart move by Kyrie, he knows Celtics will lose for sure, he can increase his value by saying the Cs can’t even beat the 76ers because he’s out. Smart move for someone who thinks the earth is flat.

Talent wise, don't see 1 position in the starting 5 where I would choose a Celtic. On offense, the Sixers no longer have any weak links. On defense, they are too long and strong and not even a cohesive unit yet. LOL

They are winning on talent alone right now. And share the ball better than most teams in the league. Bench has acquired more reliable veterans & improved at the backup center (Boban) wing position (J Simmons & J Ennis) & power forward (Mike Scott) positions. They are not world beaters but can hold the fort enough, as they were not getting much of anything before from the bench, offensively or defensively.

Right now, it's hard to get a big run on this team, as there are 2 all stars types on the floor at all times. Basically, they take turns scoring and distribute the wealth pretty evenly because they will exploit your weakness as the game develops. I see a somewhat tight game here til half time. Sixers pull away by end of game with a 15 point victory. This will be a demoralizing loss for the Celtics. You will learn tonight that things are different now in the Eastern Conference.

I've been a lurker all of these years. But It's a good time to be a Sixers fan & appreciate this fun squad we've put together. Long time coming. It's sweet!! Enjoy the game tonight. Maybe you will show your face after. Will see.

I love Smart, but I want Brown taking half of the shots he takes. I think he might have improved its shot, but the percentatges the last games were a fluke to some extent.

Brown does legitimely look unhappy with the poor amount of touches he gets. I understand why we might look for his shot everytime he receives the ball. He gives his best on defense but can go multiple minutes without touching the ball on offense.

horford should win it but went hayward for sentimental reasons. dude has had a tough year, and comes up huge in a game we absolutely had to have.

Who smokes it tonight?
