Lol rob will closing out to pj Tucker all I need to know
Colin! you should bring Jason on THE HERD! it would be awesome to hear him on the radio.
It's crazy because Boston only seems to take things serious when they're back is against the wall. I feel like they're going to go into Philly and force a game 7 but who knows at this point
The "Game has come to where its "D Day on Thursday night in Philly" for the Boston Celtics and if they are eliminated and bounce from this round a hard look has to done to the team, coaching and management.
Don't be surprised if Boston Ownership, cleans house.
Even Brad Stevens should be feeling a bit uneasy down 3-2 and on the brink of elimination.
Players are not playing as hard as they did for Udoka.
Which at the end of the day you replaced him over a scandal which was blown out of proportion.
Now the season is on the line, do the Celtics have it in them or does this elimination start the rebuild process of a celebrated franchise that just hasn't brought the bacon home since 2008.
15 yrs since they raised there last banner and have been in the dance for a few years and fell short at every juncture since.
The leaders of this team Marcus, Al, Tatum, Brown its time you lay it and leave it on the court or you book tickets to Cancun early.
WHATS IT GOING TO BE GUYS !
On every single video this guy posted I said "The 76ers are good, it is not that Boston is bad. 76ers are just good and you're underestimating their depth." Gonna keep commenting it all the way to the finals.
If my Cs lose this series someone has to go. They are simply too talented and balanced to lose in the second round. This is why I fully expect Boston win the next two games.
More on Lakers: we are getting burned by warriors speed .. who do we have that is fast?

This Philly hate has to end. It’s in all sports.
From a Laker if doc will be able to choke this one then he is done forever. philly should cut the snake head now now and now no waiting for the 7 finish them at home now
Not a Philly fan but I'm glad to see James Ballin. He was in rough shape for awhile. Man got back on the horse
Here for the Sixer Slander!
LEFTOVER teams 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
MVP & DPOTY.
Best player in the league.
Joel Embiid
They need a point guard. Like a legit pg who is a set up man. And they need to stop freezing out JB. I don't get it. When Tatum starts 0-6 it's time to slow down ok that and look to get jb going. Like…JB averaged 25+. Let him cook
In reference to that 2-1-1 rule.. technically the best player already did win 2 games for the team. Since Embiid missed game 1, it made Harden the best player on the team for that particular game.
Luka and Jokic to have a cage match for the custody of their son, Booker.
Even though Harden and Embiid played good (not great for their standards), this game was decided by Maxey. It is what it is.
the celtics need to start with al horford & robert williams
the celtics coaching staff aint the same they miss udoka & will hardy
2 team in this playoffs warriors & celtics they live or die by 3 points shot i get warriors without 3 points shot they have ntg to show up clay Thomson can say where ever 4 champions we make history but he forget 2 ring just riding kd bus clay have zero skills green is bafon overrate loonie is hustler my points is celtics have 7 skills great players 5 great 2 way players why they just alot 3 points shot
Funny…. Jason been carrying the Warriors & the Bucks whole season. Then when the Bucks fell he went over to the Celtics ignoring the warning signs. & to date he is still believing the Warriors can overcome a 3-1 deficit to beat the Lakers even though he technically picked the Lakers to win the series. Fun stuff.
I thought the game plan from Doc was really smart but yet simple.
Have Maxey bring up the ball, keep Harden fresh and nobody can guard Embiid one on one so put him on the paint (even tho for some reason he wants to shoot 3’s)
One of the best analysts in the world. No click bait, no scapegoating, just sophisticated analysis. Keep up the great work 👏🏽
Thank you philly man I been waiting for us to 🐝 so close to ECF.
I'm staying strong but I think we going 7
been said since udoka left C's wont be the same. cant lose a coach who has the respect/attention of his team to replace him with a coach barely older than half the roster. plus timelord has a glass knee. JB low key wants out…smh…..no champ level team have these type of issues. Meanwhile we get harden's best game ever, then worst game ever, then second best game ever and we still up😤lets go sixers!
Kee Shaw copying your points in KLM show Maxerman show
He used the word hierarchy
I remember your video dude you ain’t give us no chance 😂
Jay Williams definitely watches your show everyday. Every morning I watch you then Jay comes on and has the same verbiage as you. Keep it up Jason because you know what you’re doing.
Dudes been the biggest sixers hater all year now he’s saying hes been supporting them since early this season 💀💀
If PHILLY handles business in GAME 6 and sends BOSTON to CANCUN for an early vacation then they better beat PLAYOFF JIMMIE in 5 games (NO EXCUSE FOR PHILLY TO NOT BE IN THE NBA FINALS).
Bro I know Embid frustrated Horfors and Williams. He was staridng them down and shooting right over them. Anyone smaller guarding him and he's drawing a foul.
Ime had the Celtics roster on a string ? Tied together, these guys are just hooping
Bigs dominating this post season
You have decent analysis but you need to stop saying “I” so much. “I saw this” “I said that.” You can’t do a series breakdown and name every possible scenario that might happen and then claim you knew that was going to happen the whole time.
I don't understand why you keep saying that Boston has so much talent. You said this last year in the Finals against the Warriors too, that you think the Celtics are the more talented team.
In this series Embiid and Harden are more talented than Tatum and Brown. Who do you think Boston's 3rd most talented player is? Brogdon? Maxey is just as good as him and he's arguably better. Then what? Smart? Harris is just as if not more talented than Smart. Then you have Horford who is old and washed. Robert Williams has been terrible. You've overrated Boston
The Celtics are gonna lose the series in either the 6th or 7th. They just don't have championship instincts. They need to make some major roster moves.
This guy has been Wrong an awful lot lately……Wow!
Sixers are defending and contesting everywhere, Boston isn't. Sixers making their shots. Boston isn't. Pretty much that simple.
It’s over, tatum’s a fraud
Give Doc Rivers some love people are so quick to bash him when his teams struggle including myself
I’ve been disappointed with Tatums unwillingness to either go into the body of Embiid or use his floater. I don’t know why he’s insisting on getting all the way to rim every time. When he’s at his best he’s got that two foot floater.
I disagree a little on the adjustments. Jaylen on harden was an adjustment. Grant Williams was an adjustment. When he tried grant yesterday, grant crapped the bed, two reach ins and a bad three point challenge. Had to pull him immediately. Harden was killing then early yesterday, they made some pressure on ball adjustments and quieted him majority of rest of game. And their mixed coverage stuff on Embiid has been decent. The thing that’s killing them is the role guys have really shown up. I think Joe wanted to concentrate more on that p and r but Tobias and maxey and house were burying everything. That’s a problem that’s not often solved because it’s not supposed to happen.
I don’t even understand the ime love. We were in the exact same position we are right now last year. Same questions, same doomsday scenarios, same handwringing. Ime wasn’t using the bench, the jays can’t work together, no adjustments. All of it. People have amnesia. And more egregiously people really forget the Miami series where I remind you they were completely hobbled coming into the garden and beat us in a close out game that had been deemed impossible and over by all media. And don’t even get me started on Ime in finals and matching up horford on wiggins and Tatum on draymond the majority of the time. I don’t know what people are taking about. Ime was a loser who’s entire thing was preaching accountability and maturity as his brand while simultaneously displaying neither and being a full on hypocrite. Celtics fans are living in a fantasy world.
There is something about the body language of the Celtics, specially JT, that sounds off. I think that if the Celtics lose in 6 to the 76er's, Mazzulla is gone. Right now between being outcoached, I think something is going on internally with the team. It's not what the 76ers have done, rather what is going on with the Celtics that has not translated into a better running machine of a team.
J Shaw using your points shamelessly in first take and klm
I don't why the mainstream analysts always wanna make it about how the Celtics are losing because of the Celtics own fault lol rather than giving the Sixers some credit.
I know the series ain't over and the Celtics aren't no pushovers. I'm hoping Sixers can close it out game 6 at home, game 7 in Boston would be super tough.
Only reason why C's blew out my Sixers in game 2 was 'cos everyone was on fire on their team and no one showed up on our side. Other than game 2 and game 5 now, all the other games have been close or relatively close. I love how Embiid has grown game by game, although I know he's still injured and not 100%, it's a good sign to see him play well enough.
🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴
What has Robert Williams done?
Im not saying there isnt validity to the criticism of mazulla, but the celtics are literally in the exact same position last year losing game 5 on their home court in the second round and having to win games 6 & 7 to advance.
I love your basketball analysis, you actually break plays down without complaining about what you think a team show be doing. You are actually talking about what they have been doing.
You could make the case that game 5 was a role player win w maxey droppin 30
