The Sixers are just different this year. If they can beat Boston, they can take it all.
Legs is absolutely not the goat lmao but JJ is a good guy
Stephen A shaking in his boots. You are always replaceable. Stay humble
Tim Leggler is far smarter than Redick
Do I agree this was a really bad first game of this post season compared to the others? Yes.
Cannot let this happen again. Let’s keep focused now. ☘️
Philly vs everybody
?
Aint over yet
I’m not counting them out and I’m a sixers fan
I like all 3 of these guys!!! JJ In character is classic!!
He’s in Austria woofing down winiershniztle
JJ is right brown and Tatum never play together
JJ Re-Dick!
The sixers don't need any credit the will go and take it the only team that can answer embild is Jokic don't bring up AD don't bring up Bam sixers are going to win the championship garunteed
Why can’t these analyst just say hey the sixers were clicking on all cylinders and were the better team. They constantly make excuses for the Celtics man it’s so annoying. Doc made great adjustments with playing zone and inserting Danuel house. Embiid and harden were outstanding in the pick and roll and defensive end. Harris started us off by being agressive and Maxey and Melton finished the job. It was a great TEAM win
Why cant even one of these national news guys just say "I was wrong". The sixers are the better team. Period. It's so predictable with these guys. JJ just cant admit he was wrong.
The Celtics don't have a high quality pg and c EXACTLY like JJ is saying, nearly every single championship team has had those two key pieces.
Even with a coaching change I think JB has to get traded for one of those two pieces.
If they had even like Steven Adams and Lowry or Van Fleet they'd be in a much better position. Or maybe Tatum becomes point guard and they trade for a center
Milwaukee had a coach problem in Coach Bud. Man had no answers or counters in crunch time or from behind period. With Boston, y'all ok alright. Brogdon should be starting for he's a True point guard who can also score. He sets up an offense well and will capitalize when it's there for him to do so. Miss him in Milwaukee
I’m fed up with us never getting credit it’s getting ridiculous smfh Philly gotta b the most hated city in the world 😢smh
Not saying the Celtics are winning but it is not over. 76ers still need to win 1 more game.
ESPN loves hiring ex Duke players.
I agree. Never liked the Celtics approach the past several years in the playoff
Well wrong time
Celtics sucks
To JJ’s point. Lack of defensive consistency and poor ball movement
Celtics will win in 7! Bet me $100
JJ played the game it should be no surprise that he knows the game unlike loud mouth Steven A who has never played the game
It was about Philadelphia's defense and that set zone was giving Boston fits.
Sixers dominated the game from the opening tip
Bostons arrogance is going to be their downfall
They thought they could just show up and take the w from us
12-345 SIXERS!!!!!
We’re closing this out tomorrow!!
LFG!!!!!!!
they’re trying to jinx them
Wtf is going on with the boxes on this
We don't care what J.J. the hater and turn coat says!
"boston are done" 😭
I understand that Joe Mazzulla is not as good as Udoka, but I think the blame on his is a bit overblown. The Celtics are super talented and I feel they have enough talent to overcome the inexperience of the coach. I think we have to give the Sixers more credit and recognize they have the best player in the series. Game 6 should be thrilling!
Everyone underestimating Philly is working to the Sixers’ advantage.
Bruins and possibly Celtics gone. Those poor Boston fans😂
