It's over. This team is mentally weak.

I'm sorry but Mazzulla putting in Pritchard is the dumbest coaching thing I've seen all playoffs. Negligence.

Just infuriating how they stop playing basketball when they miss shots and the other team hits them. Its so predictable but so infuriating every single time. They get so visibly pouty and resort to awful habits. Jekyll and Hyde.

Reminds me of how they ended the G7 2nd quarter with this energy. Keep it coming!

Fully preparing myself to lose game 1 in OT 110-114 and then win game 2 215-89

"Humbly, I'm one of the best basketball players in the world" - Tatum before dropping a record-breaking 51 point double double in game 7 at 25 years old.
Dude is different.

This is just absolutely out of this solar system from Tatum in a game 7.

The thing that really stands out to me about this Tatum game aside from the scorching shot is
1. His decision-making has been nearly perfect. 2. His defensive intensity is at ANOTHER LEVEL and he's feeding that energy into his offense.
This is how you bury Philly. Steal their hearts. Keep it going. Don't stop.

Jayson Tatum is having a generational game right now. My god.

This is a JOKE from the officials. Embiid bowls over Smart then steps on him and its a foul on Smart?
Absolutely disgusting.

If I'm going to critique as much as I do the praise must come too - the intensity has massively picked up to a level that can actually win this. Let's go!

Smart gets mauled, no call, Harden doesn't get touched but flops, call.

Philly will take that open corner 3 shot all game and win by 20 if that continues. agreed. Especially given for some reason we aren't taking 3s ourself.

I hope we blow the doors off them tomorrow and don't look back like G7 against the Bucks last year.
I can't believe the Heat are in the ECF again

This Philly team is so, so incredibly unlikable between Embiid and Harden's flops and Niang's buffoonery (should have been a flagrant 1 against him).
The only one I enjoy watching is Maxey.

Sixers have to be the highest flopping team in the league. Absolute joke basketball by a bunch of grifters.

I see Tatum is back to his finals against the Warriors flailing act again.
Soft.

For all the critique Smart gets, no way we are ahead in this game without him.
Easily one of our 3 best players this series.

Really can't fathom how inconsistent Tatum is
Sure he's had some bad offensive possessions, but 0-10 when many of the shots are WIDE OPEN is absolutely outlier absurd bad.

Small aside
I did not see Kenley Jansen de-aging a decade and starting to pump 99 MPH fastballs with a wipeout slider again. What a signing.
