Well it wasn’t pretty, and it was a physical dogfight. But a win is a win. Now I’m just hoping Hayward is ok

Nice.

Ankle sprain for Gordon -- hope not too bad.

Better yet -- can Robin go into labor right now?

Kemba gets to win playoff games with a top team.

Couldn't be happier for the guy.

This series gonna be a dog fight...
They have best player
We have overall best talent
We getting beat up physically, gotta hold up

I think that's questionable with Tatum's emergence, especially given that Embiid really isn't all that well-rounded and his weak areas (limited mobility, lack of conditioning, etc.).

I would say that Tatum and Brown were both better than Embiid today.

Gordon Hayward out with right sprained ankle.

Yeah, that stinks. Sprained ankle is like a standard diagnosis at this point. Hope, nothing more complicated.

Not the prettiest at times, but you have to love this win. Tatum and Brown were fantastic! If we can get some of the other guys going, we will be unstoppable. One down - three to go!!

That dejected look on Embiid's face is priceless.

This team just seems to handle themselves better in the muck.  It's almost like they rather be there then coasting down easy street.

It’s a discussion for sure. Such different players it makes it tough.
But my guess if you polled unbiased NBA players, coaches and Media... it would swing Embiids way

I think that's questionable with Tatum's emergence, especially given that Embiid really isn't all that well-rounded and his weak areas (limited mobility, lack of conditioning, etc.).

Sorry weird quote thing...

Smart Jaylen, showed some maturity, just held it up rather than some crazy reverse dunk.

Yeah, I don't think it's just a given that Embiid is the best player. JT put up 30/12 and 3 blocks.

Embiid has the most natural talent given he's 7' tall and 270lbs, while still a good mover, but he's always in bad shape, turnover-prone and not a great passer, and takes plays off on defence now that he's the focus of their offence.

Good win! Played 2 quarters of very bad ball and still won it somewhat comfortably. Hope Gordy is alright

Any game that comes out with us on top looks pretty to me!

Kinda upset Jaylen got stuck on 29 there, I'm sure it would have been some kind of record of youngest pair of teammates to get 30+ in the playoffs or something, oh well, we'll have to settle for the W.
