    Yeah, still waiting for that Embiid monster game... still hasn't happened. To be fair, I'd imagine he's like 80-85% on that sprain.

    Just wanted to give Harden some props for an amazing game today. All that juice and only one turnover, what an efficient game!

    Man, what a series. IMO the Celtics are clearly(?) the better team and should be favored for the rest of the series.

    But the Sixers are a resilient bunch. They've been gutting out wins all season, and that's helping them right now.

    It will take at least one MVP performance by Embiid and one more by Harden, but the Sixers can still steal this series.

    The sixers don’t just give up.
    They just keep pushing

    I don't think he's been the same since he played injured in the Nets playoff series. It wouldn't be shocking if he had stayed out the night before or something, sadly.

    Rockets games haven’t been blocked for a long time, allowing fans living in China to get a full-frontal view of the tank. They never show the games on national tv, but 腾讯体育 (the equivalent of the league pass) is cheap and pretty dope because you get every game and the English broadcasts.

    Sixers games still weren’t being shown on the league pass for some of the regular season but the playoff games are on TV, for whatever reason

    i cant for the life of me understand why this man gets so much hate.

    Hes always given so much back to the community and just goes out there and balls. Hes legit never complained or blamed anything on anyone else. Dude just grins and bears it.

    I will always have so much respect for this dude.

    its a shame since the media decided to make james the poster boy of foul baiting, he simply does not get the calls he should, especially on jumpshots.

    Apart from Jimmy Butler, this is the best the East can offer up.

    Clubbing after Playoff Series Loss and Getting away with it in Houston.

    Flies to Las Vegas and Reschedule Practice.

    James Harden stay in Philadelphia and be Held Accountable by their Hostile Media and Frat Fans. Go Win a Title for your Own Sake and Destroy the ESPN Media for Good.

    Props to Harden for his clutch game-winner

    That was hugely clutch

    Most of LeBron's playoff game-winners were tie game

    Making shots while losing is harder and better

    Maxey has been real bad this series for sure. Been taking a ton of shots and still not scoring much except in game 1. He's really young so I won't judge him too harshly, but yeah they need him to be better to make things easier on James and Embiid.
