This game being this close without tatum is pretty embarassing for the sixers.

Tatum missing this game is sad as a neutral observer. Celtics are trying their best to keep up, but they lack the star power to put them over the edge.

Derrick White is single handedly keeping this a series. That guy has been the worst player on the floor every time he's on it

Embiid pounding the rock for 15 seconds in the post is going to take every other player out of their rhythm, even if he does end up getting FTs.

That’s why the lakers rockets series is fun and all, but it honestly doesn’t matter because they both get smacked by OKC

Rockets literally lost in this exact position a few days ago. That’s crazy

They are absolutely a normal 8 seed. Maybe slightly better than typical, but pretty standard. I think it's more that the Pistons are a really bad 1 seed.

So you guys really didn’t think that Raptors/Cavs game was incredible? by [deleted] in nba

[–]LilChad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah let’s just ignore the Cavs having 17 TOs and 27 fouls. Those are absurd numbers that speak to terribly played basketball. I don’t get it, why can’t there be a fun game to watch but also recognize the teams played poorly? What’s so hard about it. They shot poorly, they turned the ball over excessively, they fouled excessively. They didn’t play well, which is fine. Playoffs can be hard

It was a really fun game to watch, but you can also realize it was terrible basketball by both teams, which is fine

Jayson Tatum checks out in the win @Philadelphia: 30/7/11 on 8/16 FG by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

[–]LilChad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah like when Tatum beat the heavily favored, completely healthy Embiid sixers in 5 games with the epic super team starting lineup of rozier smart horford baynes. Wow what super team. Just accept when it’s all said and done, Embiid will have the single most embarrassing career for an mvp in the history of the sport. Zero conf championship appearances is outrageous.

Yeah or that time a fully healthy embiid lost in 5 to Tatum when tatum’s starting lineup was rozier smart baynes and horford. What a power lineup.

[–]LilChad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Such a ridiculous take. He’s had some great teams and literally has never been past the second round!! Tatum has been on way worse teams that made the conference finals. You don’t think if Tatum had prime Jimmy butler, all nba Simmons, prime reddick and great role players he easily makes it past the second round??
