Jason Tatum is probably the worst superstar in the league. Don’t ever mention his name alongside the likes of Luka Doncic.

Say what you like about Tatum but for him to do this with all that went on with the season on the line is big time very clutch and he closed this game out for sure because all them shots he made was so needed

How many times has doc rivers blown a 3-1 or 3-2 lead? I’m slowly losing count. He’s fired if the Sixers lose the series.

doc rivers has lost 7 straight game 7’s and at this point I expect 76ers to lose game 7 against Boston
