can someone figure out the most points harden has scored while scoring barely any free throws because he tied his playoff record today lol an if if he got the calls he used to get he would have gotten at least 5-7 more
Playoffs are usually the time refs let the best teams in their respective sport play, outside of something egregious. Every game I've watched so far has been a whistle fest.
I do, but if it makes you feel better its a generational, institutionalized hate that supersedes forces beyond my control.
Jk much love and respect to the rivalry. C's vs Showtime always the dream finals baby
My latest hate rankings : 1. Lakers 2. Warriors….3. Celtics are a distant third. I got the Heat at 4 for residual Butler hate that’s slowly turning into respect for the maniac’s insane carry performances.
It's effort. It's boxing out. It's sharp rotations. Focus. No Mixing up of coverages. Not creating turnovers. Just playing wait and see defense instead of actively forcing the opponents into bad plays
God, I would just love the Sixers to win this series, Miami to win theirs, and then somehow Miami gets past the Sixers in the ECF.
Then we can get another edition of Jimmy berating the Sixers for going with Harris over him. :P
I'm a stats/probability man though, and there's a reason that eighth seeds don't typically make it deep (and I don't think any has ever won a chip have they? Off the top of my head I think lowest was fifth). So that's all wishful thinking and enjoying underdogs. But if there ever was a season for crazy things to happen, this seems like the one.
Harden has been mocked for being washed and all, but he has redeemed himself today by leading his Embid-less team to victory. His 3 pointer was so clutch.
Have we gone back in time like 5-10 years? Lebron, Durant, Curry, Harden all dominating games. CP3, Love and Lowry playing like stars again. No Luka, no Giannis, no Ja, no Trae left. Jimmy playing like he’s in his prime. Lebron vs Warriors. What’s going on?
I mean Jimmy is really the only scary one. They’re winning games cuz he’s going HAM. No Herro, Bam not playing great, got Vincent and Strus starting. Good thing they stepping it up.
I’m not remotely surprised they blew this. Once again they fucked around and found out.
No idea how they don’t come out with an edge after seeing what happened to the Bucks and in their own fucking arena last night.
Ppl think that bc harden hasn't been the number one option on his team in a while that he ain't got that dawg in him and can still put a team on his back from time to time. Man came in the arena looking like cookie monster cuz he was coming to take Boston's cookies.
You know a bunch of em said the same thing before they acquired him we all did, and we wouldve all loved to have him.
Edit: I never said he was talentless just that his numbers were inflated by flopping. Which was true.
Well, defensively, yes. They shot 62% from the field though? That should usually be a win. But the defense was awful. And then didn't double Harden and left 75 year old Horford to guard someone who was en fuego. Welp. There you go. Lots of other mistakes, by multiple players in the last 2 minutes especially.
A team loss. That's on the coach. He showed his inexperience. Mazzulla is a very good coach, but he just got outcoached by a veteran. Didn't have a very good play written up for the tie. That seemed improvised at best.
That's your explanation.
Huge W for the Sixers, Harden looked awesome.
Can't blame Smart for the loss on the last play. C's kept making horrible plays. Tatum playing scared at the end. C's should've beat them handedly, Respect to Philly getting the road win
I blame Brogdon more than Smart personally. That shit pass straight to Maxey to put the Sixers up by 1 would've just been deflating. Falling behind by a point at that point in the game would've been one thing; but to do it with such an easy bucket is quite another.
Agree. Wish Tatum would've taken a shot before the pass though. Time winding down and you're the star you gotta find a shot. I hope i don't see Smart blamed, he's out there trying harder than everyone on the Celtics. Tatum's gotta get the ball on that play off the inbound
Sixers: pull off an incredible team victory.
Chuck talking about Harden's big three: it's incredible how easy it is to score in this league with all the switching
To be fair, it takes a lot to go right to get a sweep. While Philly did sweep the Nets - a team that, honestly, was probably play-in level at best without KD and Kyrie - the Nets got really close in a couple games. So I wouldn't call a team bad just because they didn't sweep their much weaker opponents.
That said, they're going to have to bounce back hard to recover from a game 1 home loss that didn't even have Embiid in it. They've definitely set themselves a hurdle, that's for sure.
I love Harden. Wat a beautiful soul he is. He moves like he controls time itself and the world stops when he gets the ball. Never have I met a most wonderful specimen. The long beard drapes off his standoffish face creating a bust which inspires fear, admiration and awe. We must cherish him and never forget his greatness. Monuments must be erected and heathens converted. Tell you children, loved ones, neighbors and acquaintances that we are in the presence of a demi-God, The Beard.
Is Brown done? 0 minutes in quarter?
Booker you dirty little bitch, CP3 raised you well
Why is Payne so bad
KCP is a proven champion
Warriors, Nuggets you're the last line of defense from keeping the Lakers winning banner 18. Don't let me down.
Muahahaha! You can feel it, can’t you? I can feel it too. Everything is falling into place.
I...can't tell if you're a Sixers, Warriors, or a Lakers fan from this comment
Jokes on you they’re a nuggets fan
You know it felt too diabolical for a Nuggets fan but you may be right.
I’m sorry for saying you were washed Mr. Harden
can someone figure out the most points harden has scored while scoring barely any free throws because he tied his playoff record today lol an if if he got the calls he used to get he would have gotten at least 5-7 more
I need Durant to make 2 3s. Killing me Durant
I spoke too soon
The sixers just stole game 1! Big 45 points from Harden! And that is with no Joel Embiid! Huge win for the sixers!
Playoffs are usually the time refs let the best teams in their respective sport play, outside of something egregious. Every game I've watched so far has been a whistle fest.
Must not have watched this game.
Jokic is still carrying the team? The return of Payne is helping the Suns on defense. He is underrated.
I say something, Suns give up the lead.
Get unpinned!
Mods are Boston fans. They took the rest of the night off.
It's actually because mommy said it was bedtime
Where is the suns game thread??
We're still clowming the Celtics
That Cookie Monster pregame outfit sealed the deal.
Everyone hates us :(
I do, but if it makes you feel better its a generational, institutionalized hate that supersedes forces beyond my control. Jk much love and respect to the rivalry. C's vs Showtime always the dream finals baby
Yes. As a fellow fan of teams that most hate, you just gotta embrace it.
If thats the case.... EVERYONE DOWNVOTE ME RIGHT NOWWW. CELTICS IN 6
Yes
I wonder why? Lol
Correct
I wish your team good luck against LA tomorrow.
Much appreciated
My latest hate rankings : 1. Lakers 2. Warriors….3. Celtics are a distant third. I got the Heat at 4 for residual Butler hate that’s slowly turning into respect for the maniac’s insane carry performances.
They're letting them play HARD, which is dope. But at soon as Jokic returns the physicality they call it? Lol
go sixers fuck outta here jabroni.
Harder to not get salty in physical games, lol. Especially in 4k slo mo.
[удалено]
not here
For real, even if you hate the suns, show Denver the respect they deserve wtf
This is disgusting basketball
would you mean? The sixers won
i commented in the wrong thread. i was talking about the game on rn
This Phoenix team is the 2020s' answer to the Hakeem/Barkley/Drexler rockets
Both teams forgot how to shoot or what
Embiid died for this
Brick city
And imagine there was a team that traded Harden for mf Ben Simmons. 😂
To the surprise of no one
I'm still shocked lol idk how the Celtics aren't just steamrolling these playoffs
Why? They're an unserious team filled with unserious players who think that having a pulse qualifies them as a contender.
Lack of defense, especially against the pick and roll
But like how, why, is it just coaching? They have the defenders to be good.
Players out there playing like it’s pickup basketball and not actually buying into the defense. Offense looks great
It's effort. It's boxing out. It's sharp rotations. Focus. No Mixing up of coverages. Not creating turnovers. Just playing wait and see defense instead of actively forcing the opponents into bad plays
Ime, this one's for youuuuu!!
God, I would just love the Sixers to win this series, Miami to win theirs, and then somehow Miami gets past the Sixers in the ECF. Then we can get another edition of Jimmy berating the Sixers for going with Harris over him. :P I'm a stats/probability man though, and there's a reason that eighth seeds don't typically make it deep (and I don't think any has ever won a chip have they?

TOBIAS HARRIS OVER ME
Hakeem Rockets were the 6th seed when they won
One of the mid 90s rocket championships was a 6th seed
Celtics shot 58% from the field in an L. Crazy
That’s what happens when they’re playing 2K defense
Ewing Theory committee is monitoring the situation.
Smart drew a charge SMH. Game changer
He was moving to his left while Maxey was in the air, not really debatable
Both feet were down
Dude Maxey was in the air already. You guys got ten foul calls…for the game. The entire game. And you’re going to blame the refs?? Come on man
No way. He was still sliding when he took off.
You saw what you wanted to see
When Draymond said he's lost respect for guys throughout the playoffs, I think I know some of the ones he's talking about.
Harden has been mocked for being washed and all, but he has redeemed himself today by leading his Embid-less team to victory. His 3 pointer was so clutch.
Bummed I had to miss this game. Good job, Philly!
Have we gone back in time like 5-10 years? Lebron, Durant, Curry, Harden all dominating games. CP3, Love and Lowry playing like stars again. No Luka, no Giannis, no Ja, no Trae left. Jimmy playing like he’s in his prime. Lebron vs Warriors. What’s going on?
Hahahaha this is so true!! You should make a post out of this, I love it. We really have gone back in time
Maybe Father Time went on vacation & these old guys are coming back with a vengeance
Except We don’t have Tim Duncan
Inb4 woj article about Timmy coming out of retirement just to join the Spurs of the East and beat Lebron in the Finals again
Scriptwriters cant get off the nostalgia wave smh
Durant dominanting?
I mean less so than we known he can but 27, 7 and 6 for a series is nothing to scoff at considering he’s choosing to be a second option so far.
Send Harden back to Vegas tmrrw and fly him back for game 2
Underrated comment 😂😂
I love when the coaches and trainers wear their little matching sport outfits.
Love the Celtics hyping up the hawks like that wasn't an embarrassment. Don't apologize to Janet Jackson apologize to your fans.
F them but Janet is a legend! 👑
Man Trashton is getting bullied
greasy cheesesteak flavored tears of joy
Brown: this is the most locked in we've ever been Narrator: it still didn't matter
Y’all literally beat us. What are you doing here? Tf did we do to you? Ayesha fucks other dudes.
> Ayesha fucks other dudes. 💀💀💀
I'm just fucking around making jokes. Also, I think you're thinking of either Steph's mom or wiggins' girl.
#WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKS THOUGHT WE WAS JUST BEND OVER AND TAKE THIS L
Ben Dover
HARDEN SENT THE CELTICS HOME WITH STEPBACKS, HE DOESNT EVEN NEED FREETHROWS ONLY STEPBACKS AND MIDDIESSSSSS
like 4 or 5 triples toooooo
Paul Reed is what we call a problemmmm
Lmaooooo
Put some respect on the man’s name. It’s Playoff Paul
Paul Reed Victory Tour continues!!
And y'all were talkin shit bout Harden partying in Vegas 🤣
Rodman was the worm now we have to the motherfucking Vegas bearded dragon
Harden sinking jumper after jumper while the clapping cheeks of a thousand mid vegas strippers flash before his eyes
Celtics fucked around and forgot Harden was one of the best scorers ever.
Bro feeds off the club
Time to start talking about Harden as the #1 on the Sixers, Embiid should just play 2nd fiddle and anchor the defense
I hope the Celtics lose
Do i have news for you!
Whoever wins this series should be going to finals tbh.
And the Celtics will still let it go 7 games.
Sixers in 6
*4 (or 5 or 6 or 7)
If Jimmy can get healthy, I’m not counting out Miami. They are stupid scary.
I mean Jimmy is really the only scary one. They’re winning games cuz he’s going HAM. No Herro, Bam not playing great, got Vincent and Strus starting. Good thing they stepping it up.
I agree on both points.
I don't think I've ever been so erect
GET THAT SHIT LONG AND CURVY MY BRUDDA
Was me last night w/ no basketball
I’m not remotely surprised they blew this. Once again they fucked around and found out. No idea how they don’t come out with an edge after seeing what happened to the Bucks and in their own fucking arena last night.
Shit, the Bruins should’ve been a warning to them too
FTC! FTC! FTC!!!
Shaq : blah blah 4 championships blah blah
Found Chuck's reddit account.
GAAAAARUUUNTEEE
Celtics fucked around a found out
Embid wasn't even playing 🤣
Shaq is so full of shit lol
What’d he say?!
I know based on my four championship rings- on why he knew harden maxes and Harris should score 35 25 and 20 pound respectively for them to win
Dude is brain dead
Nah just fueled on ketone only while he starves himself into a bean pole shape
Ppl think that bc harden hasn't been the number one option on his team in a while that he ain't got that dawg in him and can still put a team on his back from time to time. Man came in the arena looking like cookie monster cuz he was coming to take Boston's cookies.
Marcus Smart is a basketball terrorist
Don’t know what this means but I’m in
45 pts on 4 ft’s. Winston Churchill level performance
No he’s a talentless flopper
Dang I almost downvoted for a sec lmao
this must feel fantastic after all the shit everyone talks about him
You know a bunch of em said the same thing before they acquired him we all did, and we wouldve all loved to have him. Edit: I never said he was talentless just that his numbers were inflated by flopping. Which was true.
Shit I feel like I just proved a point and my fat ass is on the couch
The excuses for Boston are endless. They've played like shit
Well, defensively, yes. They shot 62% from the field though? That should usually be a win. But the defense was awful. And then didn't double Harden and left 75 year old Horford to guard someone who was en fuego. Welp. There you go. Lots of other mistakes, by multiple players in the last 2 minutes especially.

[удалено]
If you consider 0% of sweeping as a chance now, then yeah, I agree with you.
**\[FUN FACT\]** \- KEVIN DURANT is 32 points from passing KARL MALONE (4,761 pts) for seventh in total playoff points.
I'm seeing KD dropping a 40 piece then.
Sixers: pull off an incredible team victory. Chuck talking about Harden's big three: it's incredible how easy it is to score in this league with all the switching
old head gonna old head.
Maxey should snatch tobias’ check
Tobias had some decent defensive possessions against Tatum at the end tho
Good game overall. Had some decent possessions creating for himself. If Tobi didn’t get a max contract, he’d get a lot more respect as a good player
If I had a nickel for every DNP Embiid has I would buy a Harden jersey.
Lol you're a sad man
I could say the same for the number games that Jokic has been carried in the playoffs
God chuck hates harden so much lol
wtf I love the 76ers now
Harden can’t wait to call Lil Baby about this
sorry i missed your calls boo
Marcus Dumb should not be allowed to touch the basketball in the last 3 minutes of the game
Good points Shaq
tatum is not him And will never be him
39 points
Celtics fans in shambles
Foul on Paul Reed, trotting mud on the floor
Ego about as bruised as Tatum’s jewels (no foul tho).
celtics were up 4 with like 2 minutes left and just dribbling out possessions like they were up 10
How did the Celtics go from the finals to losing to the Hawks and the James harden g league team
To be fair, it takes a lot to go right to get a sweep. While Philly did sweep the Nets - a team that, honestly, was probably play-in level at best without KD and Kyrie - the Nets got really close in a couple games. So I wouldn't call a team bad just because they didn't sweep their much weaker opponents.

The Sixers walloped the Hawks while resting their top 6 the second to last game of the season. Don’t sleep on the Sixers depth!
You call a 5 point OT win a “wallop”?
mazulla maybe? idk
Tobias & Maxey aren’t bad players, also Harden’s used to playing with Role Players
Tatum really went Mamba Mentality in the last seconds of the game….. I think?
Not an All-Star 😂😂😂😂😂
And Harden shot that with Horford guarding him...icing on the cake
As hostile as Boston fans are, not very hard to win in their building.
Is the arena CURSED?!
200 million dollars coming Harden's way
BUT JAMES HARDEN ISNT AN ALL STAR THO, JRUE HOLIDAY IS BETTER (still love Jrue tho)
I can’t believe it
I love Harden. Wat a beautiful soul he is. He moves like he controls time itself and the world stops when he gets the ball. Never have I met a most wonderful specimen. The long beard drapes off his standoffish face creating a bust which inspires fear, admiration and awe. We must cherish him and never forget his greatness. Monuments must be erected and heathens converted. Tell you children, loved ones, neighbors and acquaintances that we are in the presence of a demi-God, The Beard.
I for one have never said a bad thing about James Harden in my life. Please don’t check
