    Jayson Tatum built a house with three quarters of bricks, then burned it down in the fourth, what the fuck

  2. homefree122

    Tatum going from 1-14 to hitting three clutch 3s in a row and 16 four quarter points… It ain’t pretty, but fuck ‘em. Bring on game 7.

  3. Both_Funny4896

    Why would Doc go away from Embiid at the end there? Pathetic coaching

  4. FredDupe

    Tatum saw the r/nba slander threads coming and decided to take over. C’s in 7

  5. DwyaneSteph

    A classic Doc Rivers/James Harden meltdown. Such an unserious team.

    I cannot believe they lost a game where Tatum was trash for 90% of it. Good luck in Boston for game 7

  6. lolimdivine

    i am sick to my fucking stomach… a philly meltdown… a glenn masterclass

  7. Crikoplit

    Tatum just semi-saved himself from a generational slander session

  8. LastCrescendo

    I only watched the last two minutes. Is Jayson Tatum the GOAT?

  9. RipHelios

    I’m convinced that Boston was so ready to disown Tatum before the 3 min mark of the 4th.

  10. RabbitWolfie

    Tatum coasted for three quarters to fully takeover in the fourth. Salute

  11. To quote the late Kobe Bryant, “I would go 0-30 before I would go 0-9. 0-9 means you beat yourself.” Unbelievable performance by Tatum down the stretch.

  12. Purples_A_Fruit

    Tatum was minutes away from inheriting the “playoff Harden” moniker and he said “*Nah, fuck that*.”

  13. Tokennn

    Tatum not always there when you call, but always on time

  14. jackgap

    Jayson Tatum saved himself from generational slander in the last few minutes with those threes.

  15. DiseaseRidden

    Awesome turnaround from Tatum to finish it off in the clutch, but the player of the game tonight is absolutely Marcus Smart. He did everything everywhere and kept us in the game.

  16. TomasRoncero

    Tatum hitting those 3s after having an all-time stinker gotta feel like having golf balls hit your nuts at 100mph

  17. Palifaith

    I knew the Sixers were in trouble when they were only up 1 point after 3 quarters even though Tatum was 1-13 from the field.

  18. Tatum in the first 44 minutes: Antoine Walker

    Tatum in the last 4 minutes: Steph Curry

  19. Apollo611

    Tatum is like when you forget to take the chicken out the freezer so you gotta wait for it to defrost

  20. VilyaNenyaNarya

    “I would go 0-30 before I would go 0-9. 0-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game.” -Kobe Bryant

    TATUM HAS MAMBA MENTALITY CONFIRMED.

  21. Padulsky21

    Doc Rivers: “Don’t play with your meat”

  22. leranvy

    Tatum out scoring the 76ers in the fourth after being 1/14 is outlandish. Just a wild choke off between these teams.

  23. suzukigun4life

    Tatum went from pauper in the first 44 minutes to GOATed in the final 4

  24. HornyHindu

    Only plausible explanation: the Monstars zapped Tatum’s skills before the game and Bugs finally restored it just in the nick of time.

  25. dk240996

    Me and /r/bostonceltics never doubted this win for one second… yeah.

    Wait why are you going to our sub’s game thread, there’s no need, all you’ll find is positivity, faith and confidence we would get this win, definitely nothing else like comparing Tatum to Ben Simmons, saying we should blow up the team that has gone to East finals more times than I care to remember since drafting the Jays, definitely no comments of the sort there…

  26. YoungJebediah

    This is the craziest turnaround for a cold player I’ve ever seen

  27. Kyler1313

    Wasn’t a pretty win. But winning on the road in an elimination game is all you can ask for. Reminds me of Boston vs Milwaukee Game 6 last year (minus the Tatum Masterclass)…

  28. Zumoff_1026

    Unreal choke. Can’t wait to lose another game 7! Yippee!

  29. Username3009

    Tatum just pulled off a legendary escape act.

    There was about to be a generational slate of slander coming his way before that 4th quarter explosion. My goodness.

  30. SolarClipz

    How you blow a big comeback with Tatum ice cold for 3 quarters

    This a bad sign for Game 7

  31. downlooker

    Did the commentator really just say “smoking a Philadelphia pack tonight”?

  32. bulldozer_rob

    I can’t do a 3rd game seven. I can’t

  33. luna_cl

    The sixers are proof that god isn’t real

  34. PeanutButtaRari

    Lmaooo “smoking that Philadelphia pack tonight”

  35. aryusuf

    Every series is gonna get 7 isn’t it

    Adam silver you dawg

  36. SketchArtist

    “I’m, humbly, one of the best basketball players in the world,” Jayson Tatum humbly added.

  37. ModernJazz-2K20

    That mf announcer just said “smoking that Philadelphia pack tonight” on live tv lol hilarious

  38. Pafbonk

    JT somehow is both the most clutch player in the league and a complete bricklayer

  39. kit-starblaster

    Holy shit they won. Through 45 minutes, Tatum choked harder than I’ve ever seen anyone choke, like he legit looked like he was going to cry. Then he scored 16 points in two minutes, three straight threes, and they won comfortably. One of the most bizarre games I’ve ever watched.

  40. LessSaussure

    Honestly what that fuck was that LMAO Tatum will drop 50 points next game and carry the team to the ECF just to shut up people, me included

  41. carasc5

    Embiid didnt touch the ball the last 6 minutes of the game. Lol deserved to lose

  42. Philly wins: It’s Tatum’s fault

    Boston won: It’s Tatum’s fault

    Huh, funny how that works out.

  43. throwaway03302001

    Y’all really doubted Doc Rivers, the man who has blown three 3-1 leads, over 23% of all 3-1 leads ever blown (13 all-time). To him, a 3-2 lead is absolute lightwork. He see’s 3-2 leads as child’s play, like shooting fish in a barrel. Doc’s confident he and the team will finish the job this Sunday

  44. TrueAscendance

    Script writers getting lazy. I’ve already seen the Boston down 3-2 comeback and the Sixers blowing the lead.

    Sixers in Nine.
