  1. Even if you're not going to draw up a play at least call a time out to save time and advance the ball at the end. Mazzulla = 🤡

  2. Tatum doesn’t like when he’s the sidekick 🤣 bro had Jaylen wide open cutting to the basket and throws it out to smart in 4th and then does the same exact thing in OT 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ I feel like Jaylen Brown would be a beast without JT

  3. Great game but the Celtics head coach just cost his team a win on the road by not calling a timeout .there is no way in the world Marcus smart should be taking a game winning shot at the end of regulation or in overtime ?

  4. The evolution of teams getting dumber by the season is real.. Need 1 to win and camped at the perimeter end of reg.
    Need 2 to win and camped at perimeter again at end of OT

  5. Harden is the key
    Embiid contribution is needed but harden is the key for 76ers winning the 2nd round

  6. Harden is a soft guy, and he dare not shoot when there is an open spot.

  7. And Harden will STILL get trashtalked to by his haters since they tend to forget games like this

  8. If harden would’ve played like this the whole series we prolly would’ve been up but we’ll take it good win boys !

  9. Tbh if Philly get by Boston I hope they go all the way. Harden really probably the best scorer I ever seen in my life. His play style so awkward it cant be stopped. He need him one to boost that legend status, he definitely a long time great💤💤💤💤

  14. Holy shit Celtics sold so hard in the final minutes of the 4th and OT!

    – Smart couldn't make an open 3 to win the game in regulation,
    – Brown helped off an ON-FIRE HARDEN at the corner to double Embiid while C's up 2 with less than 24s left,
    – After, C's down 1pt with 2 (TWO!!!) timeouts left in the final 18s, Smart waste 10s on clock just to get the ball to Tatum for an ISO. 🤦‍♂️

    Sixers (especially Harden) played extremely well in the clutch but can't deny that Celtics sold HARD as well. 😅

  15. Boston definitely had the opportunity to close out this game. Just missed their shots

  16. The final shot by Boston, had it been counted, would be a heartbreaker and virtually series-ending for Philadelphia. The video review showed that when 0.0 struck, the ball was not yet released. Great game by Harden!

  17. You know how important this game to Harden, he got some big fan watching him win this game.🎉
