Once again tatum is overrated and brown is the vastly better of the two
Embiid: 52 points on 25 shots
Rest of the team: 51 points on 53 shots
MVP
Mild heart attack but I’m still enjoying hearing the song
Jo MVP, you can’t deny it after games like this
Celtics fans coping hard
Give Embiid his fucking MVP now.
Celtics flopping at the end every play there were two guys on the floor. That wasn’t basketball their comeback was trash
Can we all agree that shit was rigged
Offensive flopping: foul merchant
Defensive flopping: hard nosed, gritty, physical defense
That was the worst officiated game I’ve ever seen. So many touch fouls on the Sixers and so many times when the Celtics were mauling the Sixers and no calls.
FUCK THE CELTICS
Celtics coping lmao 🤣
Sixers are 1-0 when PJ Tucker scores more than Maxey and Harris combined
Garbage supporting cast for Embiid. Garbage coach.
Garbage flopping by the Cs for the last 20 minutes.
Garbage reffing.
Garbage product by the NBA. I watched the MVP drop 50 on 20/25 shooting in a win and the game was still terrible to watch in large part due to the refs.
Hate to be that guy, but this game does not inspire much confidence moving forward. Embiid literally had the best game of his life and it still was almost not enough against the Brownless Celtics. The rest of the team needs to be better if we expect to hang in a playoff series. At least Embiid has MVP sealed up hopefully.
Scoring over half your teams points in a win seems pretty good.
You can not convince me these are the best in the world at refereeing basketball.
Lol Joel just punting the ball into the crowd
That was the worst close out of a game I’ve ever seen
Celtics fans are going to say that they only lost because of the refs because they’re clinically stupid. Joel better fucking win MVP, my god. I vow right now to not go in any r/nba game threads during the playoffs, I just can’t. Whew boy I’m ranting sorry. Go sixers
a win is a win, but tyrese shouldnt be allowed to smile until he figures out how to play against the celtics. dude was legit throwing in the fourth quarter
Refs grey
If the Sixers face the Celtics in the playoffs, I think we know Boston’s strategy against Embiid now. Put Williams on him and let him flop his way to fouling Embiid out.
The Celtics orchestrated four flops on three consecutive plays in the last 10 seconds. The refs fell for it twice. Pretty poor officiating.
Thank you Philadelphia! Hope we get to meet again in a few weeks!
Annnnnd just like that Grant Williams was able to flop his way to an offensive foul call.
Perfect timing.
I’m trading Maxey if he doesn’t get his shit together during the playoffs
I like to think of myself as an optimist and I’ve generally always been pro-Tobi…but good fucking lord dude. His performance tonight was absolutely dreadful, that stretch in the late 3rd and early 4th was pathetic. The only thing positive to say is he did alright guarding Tatum down the stretch. I honestly think he needs a wake up call in the form of being benched. There is a good player in there but he is just playing fucking terrible lately and we can’t afford this shit if we actually want to compete.
