    This may be Harden’s greatest playoff game ever. I’m in awe

  2. Both_Funny4896

    That Hawks series shoulda been a wake up call

  3. MakeAShadow

    2018 Harden arrives precisely when he is needed.

  4. FerociousGiraffe

    Has anybody ever seen Tyrese Maxey and Usain Bolt in the same room together?

  5. Sam24995

    What a performance by Philly without their MVP in Embiid. Harden still proving he’s got it. This series is gonna be a banger.

  6. PlaybolCarti69

    If Embiid’s back soon, stealing homecourt is big here

  7. RipHelios

    I’m convinced Doc has some dark tech voodoo shit when coaching undermanned teams.

  8. The Celtics experiencing the far less fun “find out” portion of fucking around

  9. MKenshiX

    You get a legacy game and you get a legacy game and you get a legacy game

  10. slysonic7

    Harden having the best series of his career against Bill Simmons’ team would definitely make for some funny podcasts these next two weeks

  11. homefree122

    What a performance without Embiid tonight. Harden still has it man

  12. MediocreTake

    Dude that said Harden was going to go off and got called a drug addict has been redeemed

  13. BigCountryBumgarner

    Rough 24 hours for Boston sports fans

  14. OverusedRedditJoke

    Bball Paul with the coldest free throws

  15. asapshrank

    AM I A SIXERS FAN NOW?

    WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

  16. pagonator

    IMAGINE NOT BEING UNBEATEN IN THE PLAYOFFS

  17. TheLevelHeadedGuy

    Philly figured out how to beat the Celtics, sit Embiid and let Harden cook. Fml.

  18. young-steve

    Pretty rough 24 hour stretch for Boston fans

  19. WeGotDodgsonHere

    Get James Harden into a stripclub *immediately* like it’s a Bacta tank, and don’t let him out until Game 2.

  20. KiIIOurDemons

    Could you imagine if the Celtics lose a series to an Embiidless Sixers right after the Bruins get bounced in round one. A guy can dream

  21. I know Harden scored 45 but they don’t win that without BBPaul. 13 rebounds + clutch on the line, Props to him!

  22. norihitodesuga

    Man, imagine the Celtics choking this series away to the Embiid-less Sixers, right after the “greatest team in NHL history” choked the series away to the Panthers

  23. ABagOfPopcorn

    If you would’ve told me a month ago that bball Paul would hit 4 huge free throws in a second round series at Boston, I would ask what you were smoking
