    I stand by what I said. Tobias getting paid 40 mil to put up only 2 pts. Yet harden is the one getting railed for "choking".

    I don't think how harden performances in playoff do or die moments takeaways his God like playmaking abilities. We simply need him to make our regular season offense great. If we make progress in playoffs great, if not it's not the end of the world with these youngsters.

    This loss is all on Embid, Harden and Doc. They just suck.

    Tobias Harris, max player with 2 pts.

    Reminds me of Ryan Anderson, when you make such a huge mistake and have that cap space locked up in a player that is a negative asset, you'll never win anything.

    When CP3 went down, if we literally had any borderline all star with Ryno's contract, we would've won g7.

    Morey stays not learning his lessons, he should've traded Harris for anything while dumping his picks while he had the chance.

    Because Philly overpaid for Harris has nothing to do with it, Philly has two stars and MVP's in their team. Those are the one's that take responsibility. Stop trying to put this on the overpaid role player because the star of the team choked....

    Horford has all kinds of lateral, bi directional and reverse quickness for his size. Harden's explosiveness is gone so let's just hope he takes a midrange contract.

    Im honestly starting to believe it man. That or this dude just caves to pressure and just is totally afraid to do anything. I dont understand how someone's shot can be SO SO bad after this many games.

    Also PJ missed so many open looks. De Anthony Melton hit noooooo shots.

    Harden has been destroying that switch in this very series. Horford cannot guard him.

    MVP Embiid should get the blame, but i still blame Harden. Embiid and Maxey kept the game close for 3.5 quarters. Philly was up and Tatum was ready to fold. Harden should have squeezed that **** off, especially with Al Horford guarding him. harden should have finished the celtics.

    Embids effort was poss poor all game. He picked up his shooting but his effort was hot garbage. The constant b****ing to the refs instead of getting back on D was critical. Harden just sucked. Passive and couldn't hit a shot. The only positive thing I can say was his defense was okay I guess. This team is toast.

    Tobias shouldn't make 40 million in a career but Sixers gave him that dumb contract.

    Time has changed, Harden's story is still the same.

    I can't believe people aren't paying attention to the 4th highest paid Sixer, he should be held accountable for tonight's loss. Tucker needs to be better in order for Philly to win.

    I know the haters are celebrating, but I think Philly is gonna show up game 7.

    They can win this.

    Embiid coming off injury, i think sometimes you have to help your teammates. I dont expect Embiid to be in a full sprint. Teammates have to pick up until he gets back. that's just my opinion though.
