    Jeez, what a drubbing today. Celtics won every quarter and were never really challenged (no surprise).
    Dr. J must be shaking his old grey head.

    I think we should start just considering it a sweep if a team wins the first 3 games honestly, no real reason to play this series, Embiid already knows that.

    Celtics just have to get through it clean with no injuries...which is why I think first round series should be considered a sweep if a team goes up 3-0, no reason to play that 4th game for some freak injury to happen.

    Edgecomb with the 3-and-wink followed by Maxey completely shutting the door.

    Great win for the Sixers!

    philly shot like -20% below expected field goal percentage in game 1. this game seemed like the opposite.

    Tatum with the clincher after Derrick White's offensive rebound.

    Gotta give it to Philly.

    No one, including me, gave them a chance in this series, this was looking like an NBATV series but they are fighting and legit believe they can win...and props to Embiid coming back, probably will give them a shot of belief and hope.

    Boston better win this game today because the last thing they need is Embiid actually playing himself into some kind of shape.

    Pritchard is what Sheppard should have been by now.

    Been watching Pritchard since he was a freshman at Oregon. Reed's vibe is nothing like Pritchard's.

    To be fair with a comparison, you gotta keep in mind Pritchard played 4 years at UO and is 6 years older than Reed.
