Celtics post game channel on YouTube in delusion thinking harden won’t go for 30+ for another game in the series lmao.
gotta go get some harden wine. after all there’s something for everyone
Hey. Remember that game? That was some good fucking shit
Honestly sit Embiid game 2, pay Harden his money, build Reed a statue, and shout out Harris he’s really been solid all playoffs and played some really great defense in the 4th.
never in doubt lol.
Should rest Embiid game 2 and get him back as well as possible for game 3. Even if we lose, getting back home 1-1 is amazing

let’s fucking go!!!!
Impressive. Watching from PDX, wasn’t rooting for anyone until tonight. Grats Philly!
From the Celtics sub:
_We are Boston fans. All we know is pain_
Bruh. You fucking serious with that shit? Fucking 35 championships between your 4 teams LMAO 💀
Literally the first time something good has happened for the Sixers in the playoffs against the Celtics since I was a kid. I’m 55 years old but I remember Andrew Toney.
Our defense really locked down after the terrible first quarter. Feels like the team was a bit rattled early but locked in. Still can’t believe we won that game.
Those colonial Nissan kids look like they are being held hostage.
Fuck the celtics
Where to start where to start….
​
Okay Paul is not the backup for Joel we need. But he was still terrific at times and especially his poise on the final free throws was wonderful to see, and really made me happy for him, cause I know he’d have gotten slaughtered then. **Way to go Paul! (**Picturing Paul carrying Tyrese out of whatever they call that Garden now like in an Officer and a Gentleman))
​
Okay rebounding and second-chance points hurt us and really hurt us bad late. I almost lost my mind watching them get three second chance opportunities with just over a minute left. That’s all it takes to turn a close win to a close loss. We got out of jail really there.
​
James Harden still can’t attack downhill anymore still can’t attack the defense with the dribble in this series, and he was FUCKING MAGNIFICENT using the skills he could use brilliantly right up to that last three to win it. That’s as good a game as I have seen from James in that sort of situation even with a huge part of his game unavailable to him. That was competitive greatness to overcome that the way he did.
Tyrese – WOW. What a job stepping up in the second half. Think he really might have gotten away with one at the end, but Karma says we will be owed calls in Boston until Hell freezes over and still be waiting for it to even out. But again competitive greatness carried him through a matchup he really struggles in and he was just HUGE,
And Tobias continued his terrific postseason even if his shooting came and went too often. He defended stoutly and was a key veteran presence in a game where were clinging to by our fingernails almost all night long.
​
So great win. Fuck.the.Celtics. And thank you Sixers for making me feel good for the first time since just after 3 on Wednesday. Thank You
Glenn gets a lot of hate when he’s bad, but his coaching choices tonight were great, especially in the 4th. Props
I have the most insane migraine right now and need to go to sleep to be productive during tomorrow’s shift but DAMN. I ain’t sleeping after that masterclass.
Paul Reed got mud in his veins
I woke my kids up
yeeeooooooo EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
FTC
I still can’t feel my face.
#PLAY THE MOTHERFUCKIN SONG!!!
The stuff dreams are made of!
How the fuck am I suppose to go to sleep after that? Let’s fuckinggggg goooooooooooooo!!!!!
Its a good day today!
Harden my nips more, please
In addition to all the obvious stuff, I want to shout out Maxey, Harden, and Tobias for playing really, really excellent defense tonight.
Did not get to watch it, but wow. It was just that kind of thing that looking at the spread you just had a funny feeling about. And sure enough. Harden looked every bit like the guy we were hoping to get upon the trade. And Tyrese Maxey is him, too.
PLAY THE SONG.
So we gonna talk about how Paul Reed less scared of FT than Giannis?
