Game 6: The Beginning of Philly's End
- Thread starter Brand Name
- Start date
Yep. Game 5 and Game 6 kind of even out in my mind - Celts were down big in Game 5, but then came back and probably should have won it. Sixers we’re down big in Game 6, but then came back and probably should have won it.
Was that when Philly had a 4 point lead in the third or their 2 point from 6 minutes to 4.5 minutes left in the 4th?
With there being 2 days off instead of 1, hopefully that's just what Horford needs to make some shots.
This is wrong. NBA has a possible Heat/Knicks game 7 scheduled for Monday.
On the other hand, given how Tatum ended the game, I kind of wish they were playing sooner.
TL did guard a corpse for most of his 28 minutes. Does anyone have any info that Brad was the impetus for going back to last season’s most successful starting lineup?
Sixers fate is tied to Harden. Everyone else is pretty much a known quantity. They just need to keep making everything hard for him. Let Embiid hit his ten jumpers. Defend the rest. I was ready to bury this team. They showed some real heart in the last six minutes tonight.

Joel Embiid said it’s a “make or miss league” and that the Sixers missed a lot of shots he felt they should make. He said he feels good about his team going back to Boston to win Game 7, and said it’s just a matter of sticking together and trusting in one another.

I started following the game on the Yahoo Sports app - as if it was 2002. I turned the TV on with about 6 minutes left and saw one awful C’s play, so back to Yahoo it was. And so back to the app on Sunday.
(Side note - I actually like the Yahoo sports app).

Post-game JO-ELLL threw his teammates and coach under the bus saying "I didn't get the ball in the last four minutes." Can't a player signal the bench to call a timeout?
JVG is annoying but he 100% would be hilariously calling shit out/dumping on the product openly.
Embiid pre throwing Doc under the bus before Doc can throw him under the bus?
Doris corrected herself here a moment later.
We’re so drunk after that game we think Tatum was guarding a dude who retired 15 years ago.
Marcus was just fucking immense in this game. People will go right back to shitting on him the next time things don’t go our way, but this game, when they needed it most, is why he’s the heart and soul of this team.
BTW Durant is 1-10 from the floor right now.
Am I supposed to be the one dunking on someone? I’m just saying she corrected herself after the time you posted that. I didn’t hear the other time you say she said it.
Ha, Jaylen said he was pleased all of the Sixers flops didn't get calls tonight like in other games. Kudos to the refs. Ballsy Jaylen.
I mean I only messed up PJ Brown and PJ Tucker once, so advantage me. You guys should regroup and come back Sunday.
Just like how people kill JT or JB every time they have a bad game or miss a shot or free throw or turn the ball over?
I’m loving the one of these postgame interviews.
Tatum: “I’m, humbly, one of the best players in the world.”
Smart: “Coach was fucking up left and right earlier in this series.”
Jaylen: “Crowd has sucked balls so far in the playoffs. Time to bring it, losers.”

Jaylen Brown lays down gauntlet on fans for Game 7 at Garden. “The energy in the Garden has been OK at best … I need you to come with the energy. No excuses.”

Jayson Tatum: “I’ve gotta give a lot of credit to my teammates.” He said “that shit was frustrating” but they just kept encouraging him and telling him the next one would go in. “It’s going to come. It’s going to come.”

Yeah, they seem pissed and ornery. I’m encouraged. This is why it kinda sucks there’s a two-day layoff now, hard to keep that momentum.
Guys just swear all the time in postgame now. Not a bad thing in my book tho.

Jayson Tatum on what he was thinking after 1-of-14 start: "Shit, hit a shot."

Smart very frank and direct about CJM and his learning curve and how the coach/ team relationship is symbiotic.
0-0?
@CoffeeNerdness, I’m not dunking on you. We have more Celtics basketball ahead of us. It’s all good.
This post is spot on – but you shouldn’t beat yourself up for losing faith. This team has some weird energy, likely at least partly because of the rookie coach.
Close! Celtics were 1-0 during the regular season when both Jays played but neither scored 20. They beat Philly on Feb 8, 106-99.
