#š„± Celtics in 4
6 missed free throws in a 2 point loss
Yeah we are sweeping them come playoffs Lmfao. Embese winning MVP will set this sport back years
Itās not shocking we might lose a close battle when missing two of our most dynamic players and playing against the mvp who gets an efficient 50.
If this is what it takes for Philly to beat us then we probably will sweep them if we play in the postseason.
If this game proves anything itās that Philly has such a thin margin of error to beat the Cs. Encouraging for us in my opinon
Us in 4 easily lol
I donāt see us losing another game against them this year tbh. Congrats on the regular season mvp tho
God damn it
Took an mvp performance from embid and it still came down to the wire. Iām ultimately not worried about Philly. embid just willed his team to victory but I canāt see him doing this to us 4 out of 7 games with our full squad. Hats off to them but they needed this win more than us tonight.
Darn
50 piece from Embiid, down 2 starters and they almost blew it. Give Embiid his flowers, he’s earned MVP this season. We’ll be fine in the playoffs.
Sixers stand no chance lmao
No way those chumps beat us in the playoffs.
im not even mad lol
No such things as moral losses that game was in the bag
This Ls on tatum. Needed offense and he gave us nothing. Put no pressure on the 76ers
Gimmie Rob, gimmie JB and we can beat them in a series, not worried at all.
First time laughing after a loss. Sixers are a joke man š
Can we give White a max contract. Dude is amazing for us.
Bucks are the only team to worry about
Holy shit did Tatum play like dog shit in the 4th
Bum ass PJ Tucker scoring back-to-back-to-back threes when he’s scored 0 points in more games than he hasn’t this season.
I could not be less moved by that game when it comes to a playoff series against them
Would have been an epic win, JT and Smart just got tangled at the end
I’m not worried, Middleton didn’t even play.
Not bothered at all by the 6ers after that. Needed 50+ from Embiid to beat us by 2 lmao.
Make FTs
Stop giving Tatum clutch time shots when hes been shit all game
Onto the next, get our guys a little more rest
Woulda been nice to win but I just couldnāt be any less afraid of a team
It took that much from Embiid without Jaylen and Rob. And we almost won/tied it anyway. Whatever
10-3 against fellow top 3 seeds this year. Not. Bad.
Make your free throws.
Jayson Tatum 7-20, 19 points and 2 missed FTs in a 2 point loss. Could blame everything else but youāre 4th on the mvp ladder be better
Good loss?
Said it during the game saying it again now. No JB, no Rob, poor shooting night, miss 6ft, and lose by 2 when Embiid puts up 54.
Sixers are trash
Wanted a t when they pushed it up to 5 and almost got it. Bummer of an ending
They won’t beat us in 7 but that’s two sub optimal performances from tatum in Philly minus the game winner of course. It’s not something. But it’s not nothing.
White was open too on that last play :/
All the Sixers gotta do in a 7 games series against the Celtics is keep JB and RW3 on the bench and have Embiid go for 50+ā¦. 4 times.
Easy peezy
