Na. Sixers like to do everything the hard way.
This is a must win, we need all the momentum for Game 6, Maxey and tobias just have to be decent
Yes
Boston is routinely getting 5-6 players scoring in double figures. The Sixers need to get Tobias and/or Maxey going. You can't count on Two guys scoring 30 & 40 + each game.
Boston has scored 115 points in its losses and 114pts + 121pts in its wins. That means we can’t stop them and we need to score at least 115 to win the game. Tyrese and Harris need to show up for that to happen
This is a must win but Keith Pompey has selective memory lol game 2 is the only game that they smacked the Sixers and if you’re watching the playoffs, that’s been common place in every series. This Sixers/Celtics series is just like the regular season, they’re in a dog fight, these games can go either way!
History shows that this is a must win for the Sixers
We aren’t going to win bro. This team isn’t that good. The Celtics had a bad shooting game and still took it to overtime against us.
Definitely a must win bc it releases some of the pressure to win the next game. (although we still want to win game 6 as well)
Run double screens so Brown can't stick with Harden.
This the first time I don’t agree with D because Keith right they gotta focus on there executions with keeping harden getting good looks and spacing because when they play like that there defense feeds off of it jaylen brown hasn’t won a single game for them they’re whole team is winning for them so as long as we playing confident are defense will feed off it and we will lock they’re whole team up
Keltics are close to panic. Go for it now. Strange duality of panic yet they dismiss and disrespect all their opponents. Not healthy.
When will Doc play Reed with Embiid for substantial minutes? We need less Tucker and more Reed.
PrizePicks is a sick platform for doing advertising on a PA show and not being eligible here lol get your money tho fellas 😂
It is a must win. They need to beat celtics immediately if they want to win the title
I reject the notion that we have 2 flukey wins. Game 1, Boston wasn't well prepared for a Harden explosion. Game 4 we were up 16 at a point and let them come back. A fluke is something that happens once and is kind of unexplainable. We've won twice, ain't no flight fluke. And we haven't even played our best ball yet. Hoping tonight is the night we get the best from all the starters
This is a Must Win….Sixers will win!
WELL LET ME GET ANOTHER FLUKY WIN 🤷🏽♂️ this is the NBA not a public Rec…. Ain’t no fluky wins! We were the number 3 seed… but carry on
Thinking the Sixers can win 3 in a row is disrespectful…and we wont let that disrespect slide
I don't think we can stop Jalen Brown. I think it would be key if we could shut down Brogdon and keep White in check. Especially when our second unit is in. I feel McDaniels and springer could do that. But I know Springer is not in rotation, and McDaniels is struggling
It's a must-win go Sixers
No such thing as a "Fluky Win" in the playoffs
Someone needs to step in front of Brown for an ovcasional charge. He often puts his head down and drives to the basket. I say Doc should also give McDaniels some play. He could be a gof shot disrupter on Smart…
Tobias is the key if we lose this series Harris has to get bought out he disappears in must win games its time to let him go.
Tell doc stop crying about push off foul calls! James n Joel doe’s it all the time…. BOSTON 6
While you want your players to play with that " must win" mentality, it's not a must win. I can easily see the 6ers taking 2 in row in the remaining games
Is it me or do every fan hate there team's coach?… Its like " the hell with him fire him. But we going to win with him at the same time." Wft…. Fans are CRAZY
Dang, Keith geesh. Embid not fully healthy series ties. Boston easily down 3-1 too. Refs tried hand them game 4. Now I do understand maxey n Tobias struggling don't help. Say fluke like Boston some World Champion has to stop, lol
YES MUST WIN if they want to win the series it will be 4-2 as there is NO WAY they will be winning a Game 7 in Boston!!! It's ALL-IN Tonight or BUST!!!
Real Celtic fans know it's not gonna be a sweep. We know all their bullshit n flaws. Whoever that says it's a sweep are dumb fanboys that don't even watch the games because they would know they fall over on their own asses consistently!!
If Maxey, Harris shows up and the bench ( Niang, Melton and Reed), gives you at least 25 points. The Sixers have a chance to win tonight.
Yes Its A Must Win. Sixers Are 1-8 In Game 5s In Boston. Their Lone Win Was In 1980, Time To End That 6 Game Skid
When the Celtics play with urgency, the Sixers are not in the same weight class.
