The only “problem” is that the Celtics didn’t do much to get any good shots, Tatum just hit some shots. Those count, but if it’s close again in Game 7 he’s gonna have to make shots again

Jayson Tatum is a maddening Superstar. But how can you not love the guy.
That was a gritty ass win and a defensive clinic. I'm happy that tye ride isn't over.

It's one of the reasons why he's the worst. He's always searching for good phrases, but he's too much of a dweeb.
Yup. Game came down to Tatum finally hitting a few right as the Sixers vomited all over themselves. Perfect timing.
Game 7 against Cleveland in…2017? I forget the year. Good God, that was fucking dreadful.
I hope they heard all the talk and got pissed

Doris: "When the Sixers went down 0-2 Doc fired up this team. He told them you've got this. If we get this to a game seven we can do this."
For all the (understandable) hand-wringing and pessimism here, if I’m a Philly fan I’m absolutely furious right now that they couldn’t win when Tatum played that poorly.
Vibes are good in the postgame interview. Love confident fuck you Tatum. We need him for 48 in G7.
One note... Tatum was bad for 3 quarters, we turned it over an insane amount.... but we won in large part because we held Philly to 86 points, 13 in the 4th... huge defensive effort.
They held them to 43 in each half. The Celtics can shit fully down their legs and still win if the number to beat is 86.
I have no clue what happens on Sunday. Last year I knew they were gonna blow Milwaukee out. No idea what team shows up this year.
Harden had another awful shooting night. We have 3 wins when he’s been awful at finishing and look absolutely lost when he’s making shots. Someone needs to build the best strip club the world has ever seen in Boston before the next game
It isn't but it's Mark Jones thinking he's keeping it 100 at all times, no cap.
So funny how a couple of minutes completely changed the narrative. SAS and the ESPN crew are talking about how it's a devastating loss for the 76ers. Considering how they started the game getting blown out and played from behind most of the game, that was going to be a devastating loss for the Celtics.
Thank god not an afternoon game. I know most of you love it but I think it hurts the product
Tatum must have a SoSH account and must have logged on during a timeout.
Tipping my cap, he came up big when it counted the most.

Not only couldn’t JT score in the first three quarters, he didn’t have a single assist after the first quarter, but he still had the balls to take this game and series over.
I‘ve been watching Celtics playoff games since the early 70s, and that fourth quarter was as scintillating and clutch as any other performance, and even more impressive after his historic shooting struggles.
