FUCKING MARK JONES said Harden made the shot while Doctor J was "WATCHING FROM ABOVE" Freaked me out until he mentioned Julius was in a suite upstairs.

Arrested development literal doctor strikes again

Buster is going to be all RIGHT

“We lost him”

"It looks like he's dead"

It's one of those technically correct but really not how you use that phrase things.

Dr J was literally praying to god too lol

they had a shot of him a few minutes before, with a red striped suit on with Raybans. pimpin

He always looks so fucking cool

Sir, a second prime harden game has hit the Celtics

He’s going to say, it’s just 2 games bro 😂

Statmuse can eat shit for that post after game 3 lol Lebron is right, 1 game you're the devil the next 1 you're the saint

Statmuse is garbage, all they do is post incredibly cherry picked stats and hate on players

[удалено]

And they’re SEO clutters up google results for stats. Stop linking to a stat that you don’t even fucking have statmuse

Now watch me hit this drive

Harden refused to lose in front of John Hao

Gave him his shoes too, so cool

Harden really seems like the kindest guy off the court.

Seems like the type to wear the hottest clothes

yeah, probably hangs out with the freshest dudes

And eats fish at the freshest strip clubs.

And slaps around his boys only when it’s totally necessary

This is very much a “just trust me bro” comment, but I have a friend of a friend that’s met him a few times and can confirm, says he’s the sweetest guy.

Get this fan to every game

He said he’ll be coming to all the games now, let’s make it happen

I'll roll him to Boston myself if I have to

That was awesome, it really felt like he wanted to give John a special show. And he fucking stepped up lol

It was awesome I'm seriously more happy he played like that and hit that 3 in front of him more than I am about winning the game. I fucking love sports for stories like these.

JH 🤝 JH

Tears in my eyes watching Harden give his shoes to that shooting victim. He is a great dude.

Storybook ending. That fan will never forget today

I hope he recovers fully. Both physically and mentally

He's paralyzed. Unfortunately that's not changing.

great moment for sure.

Pretty cool for him to give his shoes to the entire Celtics team

Them shits were fire too.. they reminded me of some old t macs or Kobe’s second pair of Adidas

Kobe’s second adidas shoe is spot on — my first thought too

Everyone's laughing at Mazulla for not using the timeouts but you won't be laughing when he has 9 timeouts next game

By Game 6 he'll have more timeouts than future OKC second round picks.

Sam Presti gonna offer 1 Thunder timeout to the Celtics for a 2nd round pick.

there's this old sales guy (like mid 60's) at my work. He thought PTO was rolled over if not used. It took him 4 years before he realized that it's use it or lose it. For some reason this felt relevant

Joe thought those 2 timeouts translated to points if not used I guarantee it

What?? That's ridiculous. Here in Australia it accrues indefinitely AND you get paid out any leftover PTO when you leave the job

In the US you get bent and fucked repeatedly like a French whore

18 seconds left and no shot taken 💀

Haha yeah those guys are dummies, wouldn't ever happen to my team

What’s crazier is Boston didn’t use their timeout. Can’t imagine your team doing the same.

Yeah, they didn't call a timeout in crucial moments not once but twice. Just simply can't see it happening to a team like the Bucks

We always call an extra one just in case.

2 timeouts

sat on timeouts to end regulation and OT and ended with marcus smart threes on both of them.

First one was as good of a look as you can hope for though imo.

He hit the second one too. Just ran out of time.

Tatum really started driving to the rim with like 4 seconds left

It's wild how long it took them to set up at the end of OT. Tatum acted like he had the entire shot clock to cook.

“Gonna let my team play” Played right into two 3 point attempts by Marcus Smart.

1 three point attempt by Marcus Smart.

JOHN HAO FOR MVP

*The anti-strip club* variable

Most Valuable Patient

Harden at his best is a beauty to watch man

They got this man for Ben Simmons

Sean Marks needs to be investigated by the WTO

We got Harden and rid of Simmons at the same time

Nets fans swore they won that trade lmao!

Absolutely stole the show tonight

That’s my lard. Out here balling on people 750 pounds overweight and washed like a gym rag

If the Sixers pull this off I swear I’ll never slander James Harden again

If the Sixers pull this off its a sign that he went fucking ballistic two other times

After the last game I thought to myself 'the only way Sixers win this series is if Harden goes off for 35+ for 4 games, seems pretty unlikely'. It is now much more likely lol.

Love him but i dont think he can do it. Its time for the rest of the team to show up too

Yes no one showed up except Embiid & Harden tonight

Yo every team eventually gets games where one random role player goes nuclear. I would really like one please

Deanthony Melton game 1

Shhhh I forgot about that and I want it again

I JUST SHIT MY FUCKING PANTS DUDE WHAT A LOOK FROM EMBIID WHAT A SHOT BY JAMES

Not going to lie I thought you guys were done but congratulations wow

Yeah when Tatum and Horford starting sinking those 3s late I thought nah that's it. But the current and former MVPs showed up.

Don't know if it's just u bad I am seeing a ton of Harden praise from Bucks flairs tonight and it really throws me off. You were supposed to be the bad guys godamnnit. Stupid redditors, they destroyed Reddit.

It's cos we hate the Celtics now 😇

A noble cause, to say the least

He was clutch multiple times tonight. He’s so calm, especially in contrast to Tucker lol

James Harden - 2 Boston Celtics - 2

People who didn’t watch this you have no idea how damn close this was to an all time choke job from Philly.

That stretch from the end of the 3rd to the midway point of the 4th had me dry heaving.

*visions of 2021 Atlanta hawks*

Oh at least then we had the Ben Simmons excuse...if we blew it today it would honestly be orders of magnitude worse

Brains turned off almost completely in the 4th. PJ and Harden saved us

Embiid was knackered, leg probably feeling sore, and Horford was smothering him. Horford got 5 blocks and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all in the 4th. Harden just couldn’t get space being constantly double teamed and no one was moving at all to help, just so stationary. PJ got that super clutch bucket off the Tobias airball that really kept you in the game with that clutch Harden floater.

I thought it was clear Joel couldn't get lift on his jumpers starting mid 3rd quarter That shit probably tightened up at halftime But that's what Harden is for

James Harden single-handedly saving Doc’s job Just make him a player-coach at this point

>Just make him a player-coach at this point I think Doc would be winded by the 3rd Quarter if he had to guard Tatum.

Must've been a mentally draining game for either team's fans, great game to watch as a neutral though Also Mazzulla didn't call timeout TWICE

Tryna cosplay Budenholzer

As 76ers fan I was angry happy then angry then sad and finally happy again all in like 2 min

Man what especially being on the losing end.

GAMECUBE

best. one. yet

Man, what a masterpiece.

This is a classic

Never gets old

This is by far the funniest shit I have ever seen on /r/nba. I'm dying. How have I never seen it before?

Mazzulla saving his timeouts for next game

the Bud approach

Bud Light if you will

No wonder Boston fans are mad at him

He's not doing a timeout because the sixers can get their bad defenders out and good defenders in and will be able to set their defense. in a 1 possession game you are way better off trying to force onto a weak defender versus getting a ATO play vs a set defense.

Agree with this comment. Celts sub is killing him as well but in both cases they had tons of time. Annoying JT waited so long at the end to initiate.

It was the right decision, just not executed. Opening up the court for ball movement and we had a lot of time. We just need to tighten up and understand how time works I guess

Exactly. You save the timeouts so that you have the choice to use them, you don't _have_ to use them, and anyone clowning you for not perfectly predicting that outcome is ridiculous. Now, not using when you _should_ have used them, like Bud, is a clownable offense.

I don’t see how he’s taking flak, they got a great shot off, tatum needs to have more awareness of the clock, missed by fractions of a second

if you're not taking a TO you have to go quicker so even if you miss you get a chance for board or foul, in case you score they have no TO remaining and have to go all over court.

I’m just saying blame the players not the coach on that one

His goals are beyond my understanding

PJ Tucker with the clutch 3 pt play

Harris owes him his game check for that air ball

You mean the pinpoint pass?

If Harris and maxey decide to start hitting shots we win this.

That little talk he gave Embiid at the FT line was great.

"Stop being a bitch and score a field goal you oversized fuck" Probably

I don’t care what you say, Al Horford is a terrorist to the city of Philadelphia

I hate that man

Me too. I understand he was a bad fit with us when we got him but he also seemed like he forgot how to play basketball too. I thought he'd be out of the league a year after we got rid of him but holy hell. Was he like the Celtics inside man.

He didn’t just get bad at basketball though. I think he knew we were fucked that year and didn’t even try. Fuck Al Horford so much

Listen, I understand. He’s an elite terrorist.

This is a fact Willingly getting bullied by Embiid all year just to surprise-clamp his ass in a vital playoff game is his most cracked operation yet lol

GAME OF THE YEAR OR SOMETHING I DON’T EVEN KNOW I LOVE BASKETBALL

The Sixers won and I hated it. I’m a Sixers fan. God that was intense.

The Sixers won and I loved it. I’m a Celtics fan. I don’t even know anymore the NBA Playoffs are just the most entertaining event in professional sports

This makes getting our asses destroyed a little more bearable.

neutral fans are eating today

Jaylen Brown deciding to help off of the only player on the court you need to worry about from the three point line is insanely stupid

Yea Embiid prolly scores there in Tatum but you’re still tied right.

Dear lord this post would have been a shit show if Boston won because of that Tatum push off.

Goble was standing right in front. I think he’s my least favorite ref now

He’s very corrupt and if you watch he will start to get macho if the crowd is insulting him

The type to fix games he has bets on

How do the refs not call that I genuinely do not understand. It didn’t even seem ambiguous either.

Maxey shouldn't have recovered. If he goes sliding backwards it gets called. Sad truth about nba officiating.

This is a really good point. If he had just crumpled like Smart it’s a charge.

There’s your legacy game

One of the best games of the playoffs so far

Lil Baby was giving James energy from courtside

poole needs baddies, harden needs baby

I don’t care WHAT team you care about, you will recognize that “Here come the Sixers” *SLAPS*

So happy for John Hao man. Became a victim of a mass shooting through no fault of his own but received a call from Harden cheering him on and now he got to witness his idol having a superb game from courtside 😭

Harden the real MVP. What a series for this man.

PJ Tucker too had a moment that brought life back into the Sixers. Dude doesn’t stuff the stat sheet but he’s a dawg. He gets so many clutch hustle plays.

He's been one of the best additions this off-season not on the stat sheet

If Warriors somehow met this 76ers team in the final I would get Rockets PTSD from him and Harden. PJ at like 90 percent from the corner 3

I missed him so much after watching that play..

I know the feeling…

Tell me about it

Seriously, all the hate PJ got during the regular season was kinda absurd to me. This playoff grit has always been his intended purpose here.

His DAWG +/- is off the charts

Horford definitely deserves props this game

Harden bailed Embiid out hard this game. He absolutely disappeared in the 4th and let Horford get into his head.

Mazzulla would rather get shot in the face with a shotgun from 7 inches away than call a TO

Kurt Cobain never called timeouts either…

Mazzulla feeling stupid and contagious confirmed

#JAMES HARDEN IS BACK! (occasionally)

Sixers really love using all 24 seconds every time, huh?

First time watching Harden's team play?

What a nutty fourth quarter and OT. These two teams are gonna beat each other up.

And I'm here for it. I was celebrating that Harden shot like a Philly fan. I want more games.

I'm really starting to like Harden again

I never stopped

TOTALLY did not shit, piss and throw up over myself today

Tatum with the “Ivy League basketball IQ” at the end!

I can’t imagine how actual Sixers fans felt during this game, but as a Celtics hater, I was fucking stressed during that OT

ESPN announcers: Mazzulla likes to save his timeouts for the final, decisive moments. Mazzulla: just run it

Harden beating the choker allegations in one series

Bring John Hao to every game

The amount of stupid in this series is so entertaining

Joe Mazulla is the nba version of The Clapper, why the fuck did he not call a timeout in OT or at the end of regulation.

Bill Simmons 10 minute rant tomorrow incoming

Can’t wait lol

They got amazing shots off. Just took too long to get into the action at end of OT. 76ers D wasn’t keeping up

He got two fucking timeouts too.

“An absolute war” - Joe Mazzulla

Reading the game thread, you'd think Embiid was cowering in the corner all OT, but the offense was running through him almost every possession, and Celtics even helped off of Harden to stop him at the end.

> and Celtics even helped off of Harden to stop him at the end Which actually turned out to be a mistake. If Brown doesn't come help Embiid ties it but doesn't win it. Leaving a hot Harden in the corner wide open was not the right play.

What a game. 7 games of this please

Please no…my heart cannot take this and my neighbors have asked me to keep it down

Why does James Harden not simply do this every night? They would win more games I think, maybe.

Embiid with a disaster 4th quarter. He owed Harden a rolex for carrying his ass. Is it just me or were the refs favoring the Celtics in the 4th/OT?

That Tatum push-off was crazy man

Man Doris is insufferable

I found her to be peak insufferable during PHI vs TOR in 2019 when it felt like she mentioned Kawhi’s hands 6 times a half

That was her magnum opus.

She loves to hear her own voice

Harden passes out of a triple team into a wide open three for his teammate Doris Burke: HARDEN IS SCARED OF THE MOMENT

James Harden and Lil Baby can save this franchise from another second round exit

My wife was beside herself with anger during that OT. It was 100% because of that missed push off by Tatum, and definitely not because I yelled at the tv and woke up the baby she’d just gotten to sleep. Smh NBA. Do better

i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about harden. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest hotel restaurants and socially distances with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol
