Sixers Series

Marcus Smart deserves a standing ovation for his performance today. For his closing minutes, Tatum will be celebrated but Smart kept us in it.

Wow. Bigtime win. Bigtime clutch comeback by Jason Tatum

Strange how he runs so very cold and then so very hot.

that shot over Embid for three was HUGE in the 4th quarter

Wow Tatum had an absolutely putrid game and minutes away from a brutal off season of getting ripped apart by the fans and media, justifiably. Took some balls to drill three 3’s in crunch time to save the season. I was doing fist pumps at the bar with each big shot he hit. Finish the damn job in game 7.

IMO that shot was the season, right there. Everybody had gone cold shooting, that was a big turnaround moment. Never looked back afterward.

Hardon was also just 5-for-5 at the free-throw line. He appeared to take a lot of hits, but he wasn’t able to get the calls he has gotten throughout his career.

“Tonight was just frustrating because I’m number one as far as fouls that don’t get called. It’s a fact,” said Hardon after the loss. “So it’s frustrating as a player. So when officiating tells you at halftime ‘We missed a couple of fouls’. That right there. There was some missed shots and fouls which would give me a rhythm to transition points for them.”

I’ve got nothing against Harden but that is just absurd comment. The flailing he does to bait the refs at every opportunity is so obnoxious. Has no right to complain about that.

 

[1960Pats]

There is no way in hell that happened. That's ridiculous

Sorry about the delay getting back to you. I've only been able to hit and run here lately.

I was joking about Smart saying no to Mazzula. Smart seems pretty aggressive but he doesn't come across as the type to do that.

Agree. But also Mazzula would not stand for that. He may be a young rookie HC but he ain't allowing that from anyone

Doc Rivers led teams have to choke. It’s a tradition.

Here it is Celtics. You have your shot.

 

[bormio]

Wish I felt more confident. Celtics seemed determined to let a good moment be followed by a bad one. Harden can be really bad, but he can also be really good. Hope we don’t get the latter. Celtics simply can’t let him go off.

Same.

Way way too inconsistent.

It's true. Let's hope that changes

I'm just hoping that Mazzula doesn't become the poster boy for the "coaches don't win games but can lose them" theory I've been pushing forever here.

The Sixers need to change their team logo to a giant teardrop. I haven't seen that much crying since I went to the maternity ward when my children were delivered. They're also looking to take over the Philly Flop Award from the Flyers.

I wished we got the evening time slot ...
Going to eat at a nice restaurant in Rhode Island ... with my new wife and son.
Already had a reservation for 2:00 .... hope I can at least get home for the 2nd quarter ...
I mean when we watch don't we think we are helping them ... or is it a fan's torture ...

I know that I personally hexed game 6 of the bruins series. at least 3 times when I switched from the draft to the game, the panthers were either celebrating a score, or would score within the next minute.

I could be a "cooler" for Vegas casinos.
