    Will harden play exactly like this next game? Doubt it, if he didn’t the Celtics would’ve won easily. One of these 2 teams imo is going to the finals.

    Why are the Celtics wearing these horrible uniforms? They should be wearing their traditional home white and green uniforms.

    Confirmation that Marcus Smart should not be a starter in the NBA. Extremely overrated, terrible shooter, horrible decision maker, Russell Westbrook has a higher IQ 😂
    Oh and he’s a flopping pu55y.
    FYI: I’m not even a Celtics fan, I just hate Marcus Smart.

    I’m not a Philly fan, but I give props when their due. I tip my hat to the 76ers with this performance here, without Embeid too. Boston came out and couldn’t miss, they were 14 of 15, 23 for 29, I simply lost count after that. NORMALLY, with a team shooting like that you’d expect a massacre, yet Philly stayed right with them, on their ass. I knew the Celtics couldn’t shoot like that all game and they didn’t. Kudos to Philly for staying close, then coming back and winning on the road against a good Boston team, without the MVP. One of the finest performances I have ever seen in a tough, road playoff game. Well done Philly
