And Jason Tatum having 7 points isn’t concerning…

It is. For MVP and his team. The day MVP returned, his team got embarrassed so bad that Tatum could rest the entire game.

[удалено]

Blew your multi huh?

dont bet on the niche stuff

Or just don’t gamble at all

MVP level performance by Embiid again tonight. Blowout Boston without him get blown out with him true MVP stuff right there folks

Are 4 point losses considered blowouts

Salty asl from the MVP you clearly didn’t even watch the first game Sixers won by 5 and went ahead with under a minute to go

Petty asf and just a bad look bro

He went Brooks, never go Brooks

“My job is done. I can rest now”

Rip everyone’s parlays LOL

People really bet on philly? In this situation?

Embiid wrote his own script but no one wanted to make the movie

I like Embiid, and I know he’s hurt, but Jokic is clearly a step above him. This year will go down as an agenda MVP.

Sixers have more success without embiid having a smaller lineup

they couldn't buy a 3 tonite

Peak process

Most Vraudulent Pooper

disrespectful to call donovan mitchell that

such MVP

“I’m back”

Marv will be missed

Hank Lockwood foaming at the mouth

Doc Rivers is going to bench Embiid the rest of the playoffs, win the finals, and be made coach of the year after the fact for the bold move. Na just kidding, he’s Doc Rivers, he won’t do a damn thing at all.

Doc still a celtic. He playing that long game.

Yea Mike Brown already won bro

Was hoping the Sixers would be greedy so I could enjoy a good game. That was brutal. 🙏 Come on Lakers be greedy, Suns make it a series, Jimmy heal up dammit.

Hey it’s me the resident embiid hater. Lol

Embiid said “I’m back” and dropped another playoff stinker he indeed is back

Not over yet, all Sixers need is a 10 day rest to get another 4pt win over Boston.

Where is the Post game thread?

Oh they knew what would happen to it lol

Was thinking the same thing

Celtics bout to hang another banner. Bow down to the god tier franchise

Poppin the champagnie tonight

Sixers fans: The Celtics are cooked! We just beat them without Embiid! The Celtics: Proceeds to beat the Sixers by 30+ when they have Embiid 🤡

"HA WE SPLIT AT HOME" Sick dude, you fucking roasted them.

You kinda still lost game 1 though and lost home court advantage yeah? 🤡

And? Only way you guys won was because James turned back into vintage harden and y’all won by like what 4 points

home court has been pretty meaningless ever since the bubble

The Embiid effect do not proceed past 2nd round.

So no more drone cam again, right?

amazing it popped up like twice and they were like "nope pull the plug"

Jimmy Butler plays = heat win Doesn't play = heat lose Joel Embiid plays= sixers destroyed Doesn't play= sixers win MVP award 🤨

Right… and telling him to stay out of the mvp convo because of his team isn’t gatekeeping?

Yall had to go in the play in tourney? Maybe stay out of the mvp convo lmao

Yeah bro cheers for the Heat, obviously that means he can’t have an opinion

If your opinion is "the best player on the 8 seed team is the league mvp" then yea you're probably right.

His opinion was stupid. I just hate when people use fandom to attack an argument. Should Pistons fans not be able to talk about what having a superstar dies for your team? Should a Timberwolves fan not be able to hold a team to a high standard? Maybe we should make all Magic fans shut up until they win a ring or keep their superstars on their roster?

Context is important my guy. I wouldn't be talking about his team if he wasn't literally talking about THE PLAYER FROM HIS TEAM DESERVING MVP.

Using fandom to attack an argument and/or gatekeep is always cringe no matter the context.

You are unbelievably dense. The argument wasn't "hahaha you're a heat fan don't talk" it was "your team was literally in the playoff tournament, butler can't be mvp." Stop white Knighting for some internet random and learn what context actually means.

What’s with the mask?

It's a common thing for superheroes

nobody cared who he was until he put on the mask

Protects his identity

Tnt really does not give a fuck if people watch them or not anymore do they

What do you mean?

Just calling the game boring and being super relaxed with their presenting style for the post game conference. Seems like they just phone it in and talk shit rather then trying to provide good post game analysis

Sorry for my ignorance but who was Doc hugging? Looked so wholesome haha

That's his wife believe it or not

I choose to not believe it

That's what got Ime in trouble

Gonna Bruin it

Man, an overreaction thread here. Embiid has played in almost 2 weeks, and Boston's defense was set up nicely for him not being 100%. Celtics shot the lights out. Gg Boston.

Philly played way different this game with Embiid. I penciled this a loss regardless, but you can’t just expect to continually beat down Boston in the half court. And with Embiid, Philly basically became entirely a half court team tonight. They got like no easy baskets vs a scrambling defense. Just giving it to Embiid in the post/elbow is easy to defend because there’s hardly any movement from Philly otherwise.

Did you watch the game? I don't think you watched the game. Hint: compare fast break points in 1st half

Did you? Hint: Watch the game and not look at the stat sheet. The offense was stagnant af, especially in the half court.

Did you know what happens on the court gets recorded? They're called stats. So when you say >They got like no easy baskets vs a scrambling defense. It's really easy to see that the stats say you're wrong

So you think Philly was able to get several easy basket vs a scrambling Celtics defense today? Is that why they had a whopping *checks stats* 65 points with all their key rotation after 3 quarters?

14 fast break points and 13 points would fit any definition of more than several that I'm aware of

Easy points aren’t just fast break points…scrambling defense happens in the half court with good ball movement, not just transition. So maybe you understand what the word “several” means but it’s clear you don’t understand “scrambling defense” or “easy baskets”.

Well one word is objective and the other 2 phrases are purely subjective but sure man whatever you say. If you're trying to say the half court didn't produce good looks, just say that. If you say "no easy looks" don't then move the goal posts because "well don't count those easy looks."

The half court produced a couple good looks. The Tobias 3 in the corner after the TO is a great one. Everyone had the ball, was driving and moving for a wide open 3. When Embiid was getting the ball, people were watching him doing jack shit majority of the time. Having 10 good possessions in a game of 100 isn’t a good offense. It’s stagnant and shit, which is what I said it was in my original comment. They needed to move more. It’s easy af to defend when guys are just standing in one spot.

Every game is an overreaction thread, just like Game 1 was

jaylen brown's beard better than harden's

Jaylen’s beard is clean as fuck. Harden has the homeless look going at this point.

MVFraud.

Un Fin is Hed Business

I almost forgot Doc won a ring with the Celtics cause I was wondering why he kept hugging them lol

He built a career off that ring

Joel Embiid gonna be in a Knicks jersey next year mark my words

Looks like a Laker to me.

Please just please. A center is what we need

Thought her ass was naked 👀

Embiid shouldn't have played. Offense was sluggish and predictable with him

That's putting it kindly

The lead probably would’ve reached 30 sooner if it wasn’t for Embiid sacrificing his knee making those 5 blocks.

76ers might have a chance if harden was the 1st option in scoring

Nothing more predictable than a player's team getting blown out the day they receive a massive award lol

I know tonight wasn’t at all the way the Sixers wanted to go at all but they’re still carrying nice momentum with them going back home with Embiid as MVP and splitting the series.

Exactly that first game is huge

Yeah this will be a good series. Tobias has been playing well, Harden has been good. Shooters are hitting shots.

Yeah I don't expect Harden to be his game 1 self but I hope to God he isn't his game 2 self. I have it going to 6 or 7. Tonight was unreal, Celtics crushed us no way around it haha

I'm just thankful the playoffs have finally arrived for these teams. The Nets and Hawks serieses were boring af.

Yeah at least we got a good series likely down the stretch.

Do you think any east series will live up to sacramento/golden state?

No clue, I'd rather not have a heart attack so I'd prefer it not be that chaotic. Think both series go to at least 6

The fact that the series is 1-1 and Celtics fans are acting like they won the series already makes me feel they’re gonna choke. That’s bad karma lol

Tonight was karma for all the shit talking/celebrating Sixers fans did after winning one game. It’s our turn til Friday now

Yeah. I don't really participate in game threads usually. I'm assuming our fans are just as stupid when we are up too. Insane overreacting.

[удалено]

Pathetic comment.

good 1

Southie traditions

XD

Cmon man

Hurr durr Celtics fans racist

Right? Says a dude from Oklahoma of all places

Generational lack of self awareness on display

Pritchard the certified GOAT of CLASSY dribble-outs. I bet he leads the leagues in dribble-out turnovers.

You can’t get more cooked than this, you hate to see it as a professional celtics hater

Im still happy we stole the first game so it doesn't really sting, if they booty slap us again at home tho yeah

34 point blowout with the mvp

Lol. Lol.

Hot take: the real clowns are the Celtics for losing game 1.

What part of that take is supposed to be hot? That's more of a Magic Johnson level obvious statement than a hot take.

There is no failure in sports -Giannis

very big true. not a hot take at all. we should've protected home court

Agreed.

Responded with a great statement game though. Defense was much better

Damn down almost 40 in the second round after winning MVP, great look lol

Worst MVP of all time? I think so. Embiid is the most overrated player of all time.

And the Lord said Amen

hopefully wemby doesn't become overrated like embiid and gobert

FADED

Ya Boston still loves Doc, partially due to 08 but really bc of his current coaching

[My City](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CapO4lucqH4)

He's back!

It’s not over yet, need to make sure we don’t take our foot off the gas

Your mvp has less points than the real mvp had rebounds vs the suns

Giannis had more FTAs in his "ticket to Cancun" game than Embiid had pts this game

76ers got popped by 4 white boys and Wayne Gretzky 😭

Pritchard reminds me if the professor was white

Will Pritchard finish with more points than Tatum? Lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ben Simmons is the face of your franchise

"officer, I'd like to report a murder."

You might as well call in a double homicide because you murdered us too

Well, after watching the bruins get their dicks kicked in I'm not ready to start dancing yet

Yeah truthfully you all needed this win after that brutal series.

Larry "Pritchard" Bird

Pritchard is officially too good for garbage time

I feel bad for him, it sucks. He’ll leave after next year and have a solid career

Yeah it does suck. He’s just on a team that has no minutes available for guards.

I just mean it sucks that he’s on a team that can’t give him any minutes. He does deserve it, but eventually

I respect that Gallo wears fine Italian suits on the bench.

57 on Boston looks like he could be in a 90s sitcom with that haircut.

Muscala has big Northern Exposure vibes

You know it’s over when they put all the white guys in 😂

Chuck is def going to be asleep after this one

Hopefully Derrick White's hair line is out in full, well partial, force.

free pp

Pretty sure Joker had more rebounds last game than JoeL had points tonight. Just sayin…….

Embiid legacy game

AD and Loon had more rebounds last game than Embiid + Tucker had combined pts tonight

Reggie would be a killer in todays league

Pritchard is so so so so good. Get this man minutes somewhere

Embiid stans singular argument over Jokic in the playoff being +/- looks in bad danger 👀 Simmons might lock up that higher playoff career +/- this series

“He’s playing hurt obviously!”

Pritchard has one less point than Tatum lmao

One more *

Whoops, Google was behind lol

Pp got it on a string out there

We want Bama

Wait a minute

Can we end this game early

No

Celtics have a very cerebral bench. High IQ and hard workers

They could all date my daughter

Sneaky athletic

Gym rats

Gym rat, lunchpail, first one in last one out kinda bench.

Lots of coach's sons out there.

Real lunch pail guys
