Celtics post game live chat is hilarious tonight.  Man do they hate losing to us. Buncha snobs

 

If Boston continues to play poor defense as they have this post season, they have to shoot lights out to win games. We only had 12 free throws this game and still won. I expect Maxey to be better when he has wide open 3’s going forward. It will be hard to win 2 in a row without Joel at the Garden but stealing game 1 gives them a good shot to win this in 6 or 7.

Paul Friggin Reid with those FTs. Man. Wow. Thank god for G League championship pressure. 

I'm watching this Suns game and went to the box-score to check on Ayton because he does not impress me.  I look at Ayton's numbers and feel like BBall Paul could come close to matching those numbers with the same amount of minutes...and Ayton gets paid a TON in comparison. 

Well this is why we brought Harden to Philly.  Won't mean jack though if they don't go on and win the series and then the next one to get to the finals.

Go cry in TATE James. Just do whatever is needed to win and no one will complain.

Exactly, just do whatever your team needs from you that night. Stop worrying about how it gets done. 

I didn’t see or read the interview but just reading his answer I took it the exact opposite. I took it as him basically saying that if he goes out and scores 40 or 50 people say the team can’t win like that, but if he "only scores” 20 with a bunch of assists because that’s what the team needs, then they say that he can’t score anymore. I think his point is that it doesn’t matter what he does people complain about it whether they win or not. 

Man - last night's big win is just going to make the inevitable game 7 loss that much tougher to swallow

Sixers can win this series if they win 2 out of the next 3.

That was a hell of an effort by harden and maxey. Best game we might have seen from harden in a sixers jersey.  Heck the entire team to pull that off. Hoping they can get embiid back by game 3. 

They might be better WITHOUT him.

I saw that, if Harden needed some extra motivation he probably watched it before the game

Tucker may not score and he’s a flawed player but the leadership he provides to this team is super valuable. He’s a no nonsense type of guy and doesn’t want to hear excuses. He badly wants to win at all costs. I think you saw it run off last night and the resiliency of the sixers. There were multiple times in that game where they could have fallen apart when Boston went on a run and instead they kept it close, and eventually pulled it out. I’m not so sure last year or previous teams against Boston on the don’t crumble in those situations 

 

 

 

Maxey with the choke hold in the background makes this amazing 

 

VA doesn't allow individual bets but anyone get good odds on him winning it? I posted when he was +300 that he was probably a lock 

 

 

Looks like Embiid is playing tonight.

That's a mistake. Take the momentum from G1 and let him get some rest. Celtics are taking game 2 now.

I don’t like the game set up. This has let down for the 76ers written all over it with Embiid coming back.

How delicious would it be for the Celtics to flame out vs. the Sixers though?  On the heels of the Bruins epic choke job - F all those Boston asshats
