Guys I couldn’t really watch the game what made us pull away so much when we were like 70-70
Lmao playing with your food, get em doc
Doc opened the presser with “I wanna clarify something, my players told me it’s ‘playing with your food’ “
Horny doc strikes again
Hmmm every team that beats the nets usually ends up in the Finals
Coincidence??? I think not
A WEEK OF REST FOR THE BIG FELLA!
I need to see that Harden crossover ankle breaker on Sportscenter
Doc Rivers’ sense on chances of Joel Embiid being ready for start of Round 2: “Probably 50% at best.”
Remember the bozos who said they were load managing him? Morons
They better give Paul Reed the galaxy opal EVO!
Shout out Joe Harris for never allowing the Nets to develop momentum. Guy put up a mansion this series
Norman Powell is super underrated.
There were lots of high fives and Sixers chants in the concourse after the game. Great experience and I’m glad I was there for it.
Hopefully I can get to another playoff game this season, though with living in the DC area it will have be a 76ers home game or possibly a game at MSG if the Sixers and Knicks both advance to the conference finals. (I’m visiting family in the Lehigh Valley this weekend, so going to NYC is a fairly easy trip from there, though I sometimes go there from DC too.)
Let’s go Hawks. Need this Celts series prolonged so Jo can rest up.
Time for a Paul Reed victory tour.
Cya Brooklyn, piece of shit team
Come on, stink goblin, make this series at least one game longer.
Imagine being a top 3 seed and not sweeping first round 😂
Let’s go Ice Trae, let’s go Hotlanta
nets are going to win 20 games next year what a dogshit roster
If Leonard and george were playing the suns would be getting smoked in this series. The suns have zero chance to win the title. I think they are going to seriously regret the durant trade.
Durant is a great scorer, one of the best of all time, but people need stop talking about him like he is lebron. Hes not on that level.
Tobis been great the whole series, pretty good defensively too. Really hope Joel can come back for the Celtics series and Tobi’s play maintains. He was great defensively against Tatum in the regular season, but can’t shrink offensively again
Going from Deandre Jordan to Paul reed is the biggest difference this year
Claxton talks a lot of shit for someone with so little game.
We have been Charlie Brown kicking the football for 5 straight playoffs but I feel like this is actually our best chance since the Kawhi shot. There is actually a team without Embiid now. All it takes is Harden hitting his shots and they could pull it off.
Harden played 40 minutes, was full court pressed by Mikal Bridges every possession, ran the entire offence and only had 3 turnovers, 11 assists (no one else on the team had more than 2) and a +11
Easily had 20-25 potential assists with all the looks under the rim Reed couldn’t convert in the first half, literally 6-7 wide open 3s from Tucker & Melton…
Not to mention a lot of Tobias’ isos are from Harden getting him the ball in the right spots (with a mismatch) as well as the spacing that comes from Harden running everything (it would be incredibly easy to pack the paint EVEN MORE than they were and force 6ers to keep moving the ball and eventually make 3s, whereas Harden just drives by his man with ease and creates great looks every time — just a shame he couldn’t finish the ones he created for himself).
Full credit to Tobias for his clutch shot-making though. But again, without Harden we may not have seen him be able to take advantage as much.
Paul Reed should have never been a meme. He’s legitimately a very good, young big man and I feel like heme being a meme players has held us back from appreciating that.
Assuming the Celtics win in 5 when would game 1 be
This is the best Tobias Harris has looked in his entire Philadelphia career. His post up turn around jumper in the paint is money.

This game really highlighted just how deep we are. I know that gets lost on us at times, because the focus is always on our big 3, but we definitely have other guys that can step up in a pinch.
Also, Paul Reed really stepped up in the 2nd half. People will talk about how good he was today, but he was honestly pretty bad in the first half. It’s really impressive when a young player can handle a slow start then completely flip things over at halftime.
I was there -so great to witness in person!!! Let’s fucking go!!!!
What’s the earliest the next round can start? Thursday?
Walking through UPenn’s campus right now. They were just playing New York New York
Paul Reed
PLAYOFF PAUL
out the mud
into the meat
Now focus on Boston, that’s going to be a really hard series that could go into 7 games.
Yo don’t let Docs dumb ass presser ruin your mood that man does not know how to talk to the media. This is less serious than his meniscus against the Hawks, it’s way less serious than Siakam’s elbow and it’s probably a low grade sprain that he now has at a minimum 10 days to rest.
The team seems upbeat about things I’m not worried.
i was super stoked but after seeing some of these doc interview quotes i’m not sure how to feel
