Jayson Tatum had 3 fouls w quarter way through the 2nd. He played 19 minutes in game 2. I think he played like 4 minutes in the 3rd quarter. Numbers would have looked much different if he wasn’t in foul trouble and played in the second half.
Harden should’ve never dropped 45 that woke the Celtics up they losing by 30 again😭
Tatum was hurt all last post season nobody made excuses
Tatum also is going to require surgery on his wrist this off season he has been playing with it for almost the entire season.
Celtics in 6
Sixers are finally gonna rally past Boston as the underdogs that EVERYONE still looks over in favor, this time around will be different‼️Boston has always played down to the Sixers and blew them out, but it’s time for a well-deserved, hard-fought change, GO SIXERS ❤️💙🔔
Jayson Tatum IS the ECF MVP! Stop it
Tatum need to outplay Embiid, and go mvp mode on him
Boston in 6
And not the supposed MVP?
76ers win tonight embheed 33 points 14 rebounds maxey harden will come up big
Media just trying to put added pressure on Tatum and Embiid for clicks. Lol
No one gives Brown credit, as a Boston Fan he is the leader of this team
Gianius needs to get out of Milwaukee, they just reverted back to the normal ole Milwaukee, he mite not win shit else with them
Perkins is a clown
I love Brown and Tatum, but this argument that Brown is better in the playoffs is lazy. Look at their playoff numbers. Per 100 Possessions they have the same defensive rating and Tatum as the better offensive rating. Tatum averages more pts, rebounds, assists, blocks and .1 less steals then Brown while averaging less turnovers. Tatum has a better Box Plus/Minus, and both offensive and devensive win shares. Brown has been great, but let's not pretend the 2nd half of game 1 didn't happen including Brown's 4 turnovers at the end.
Embiid is the only MVP player still playing who’s never made a conference finals minimum. The pressure is on him🤷♂️
Celtics in 5
I think the Celtics WILL WIN both games in Philadelphia and go back to Boston to close out the 76ers.
Tatum almost dropped a high 20 pt double double all round 1 had 39 Game1 has one bad Game and this how they act😂
Why does the media steady try to put Jaylen and Jayson against eachother ??? They both need eachother and they both are better together stop tryna make them boys enemies they are teammates aiming for the same goal. To win a championship
Horrible take
JB!!!
Embiid is always hurt. He won’t get a pass because he’s hurt again
😂😂😂 and Tatum ain’t playing with a injury dudes dumb ass heck Tatum literally playing with a Broken wrist
its a team game. philly needs joel to be super waaay more than boston needs tatum to just be average
Sixers gone blow Boston out tonight! Book it!
I disagree. I honestly don’t think the Celtics will let the 76ers win another game 😂. They mad asf at that mvp
you know what's going to happen because these guys are always wrong.
Whats nice and why we love em is after, they admit and we forgive em.
Both players have a lot of pressure on them as they are both the face of their respective teams. But as a team, Boston has more pressure riding on their shoulders being Eastern Conference champs. They are also expected to not only come out of the East once again but to win it all as well.
Ime > joe coaching has a lot to do with this team as well
Bro Stephen A needs to stay off the weed this man just said the last 2 years Jaylen browns been the best player in the post season. That is a lie if he was the best player why JT win ECF MVP and averaged more points rebounds and assist then brown in the playoffs and they both have the same defensive win shares. Stupid take.
I promise y’all Tatum going for 35+
I tell people as a Celtics fan, I go where JB goes! I'll be handing in my Cs membership if he's gone at the end ofnthe season! 🤷🏾♂️
It's put up or shut up time for Tatum
They want tatum to win with Marcus dumb???😂😂😂😂 hard task.
I think Mr. Smith is the only person in the media to give credit like that to Jaylen Brown. JB 48% FG the last 4 playoffs and this Years playoffs 55%FG and the defense is great in the Playoffs every year. Jayson Tatum is great every other game after the 1st rounds in the playoffs. The last 4 years 43% FG and this years playoffs he is 45% FG and his defense is ok every year in the playoffs.
Jaylen brown is way better
You are right,I,ve been saying that in the last 2year ,he was more reliable than tatum
The disrespect they always give The Celtics is RIDICULOUS!
no one ever holds embiid accountable for shit lmao. I'm used to everyone in the media hating boston but its getting a little out of hand these days.
Always an excuse to let Embiid off the hook 😂
CAP. Celtics taking both at Philly closing out game 5
Jayson Tatum has literally played the entire season with a broken left wrist. Imagine saying a 25 year old that has accomplished as much as Tatum has, has the most pressure on him and not the chronically injured MVP thats never made it past the 2nd round lol
Brown is the man in this series. He owns the 76ers
