Embid is on another level
Wow gotta double him in the post and the elbow that's tuff
No shade…but grant Williams?
I know almost everyone will disagree with me on this one and its also highly likely everyone gon find this stupid but I really believe that Ben Simmons would be a great fit with the current Celtics squad . I also believe he could revive his career and hit that all star status with these current group of players Celtics have . Although this going down has a 0.000000001% probable chance but if it does I truly believe what I've said here .
5:52 HOW MANY STEPS WAS THAT lmao
Celtics will crumble like a cookie if jb leaves 😢
How the hell did the Celtics get the ball out of bounds after that 3 pointer and 1 by White? Shouldn't it have just been a free throw?
Bout Time 😅
Harden and embid best duo rn 🛼
Tatum is not the guy to go to in the clutch. He's great. But he's not a closer.
Go Sixers

So embiid needs 50 for the sixers to beat Boston by a possession. And offense had no brown and Tatum didn't have one of his nights. I'll take those odds in the playoffs. Embiid is a beast though.
Kick it back to white
Could have been the greatest comeback of all time. 5.9 seconds to the end it was still 103:96 to 76ers!! Only imagine what would have happened if the last shot of Celtics got inside( 8 points in 5 seconds!! )
White was wide open on that last shot but ig Tatum on his kobe shit
Embiid is him
Celtics on the way

Me bein a long time AI fan, he was my favorite player at one point… That said.. 76ers are trash, sure their record is good but they'll get eliminated in the second round yet again this year, they got smoked vs the Heat, THE HEAT, they played a Celtic team that 1 didn't really care, 2 smoked Giannis, 3 Tatum had a off night, 4 no Jaylen Brown, 5 Embiid scored 52 & they only won by 2 lmao that's a laughin stock, 6 Grant struggled, 7 no Rob Will, 8 their bench was Brogdon, he the only one who was given minutes to actually play a decent amount, 76ers ain't goin far. Celtics, Bucks, Heat, are the teams they don't wanna see, shit maybe the Cavs might beat em too, the Heat juss knows how to play the 76ers, Embiid sayin he confident they can beat the Celtics when he needed 50 plus to barely beat a strugglin Celtic team that when they are on 100 they slaughtered the Bucks, & also like I said lost to the Heat lol shit is bizarre, he don't even believe that bs
Yes Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics
No one can stop Embiid against Celtics 😁
Me personally, I believe this was the performance that greatly improved Embiid's chance to win MVP. Just dominate all around, especially in the 4th! 🔥
Did you really just cut the part where Smart intentionally missed the free throw?
Dapat si white nag receive ng bola
Anyone here to see what we’re up against in the second round 😫
4-0 sixer win in the 2nd round play off
Typical Harden with no D
GOOOOOOO SIXERSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is Philadelphia dock river thinking by not playing MB against Boston I mean it's been beat is 85% he should start them that changes the complexity of the game for the sixers and put him just in the low post man I mean this is a shame now the chances that I'm winning this game is like 80 to 35 which is probably not win you got to have your best people on the floor when you plan the Celtics one thing the Celtics do they play hard this 614 don't play hard they don't picks and they're not a great rebounding team
Harden really doesn't wanna play defense lol
