So, what time is game 7 on Sunday?

It depends on the results of tonight and tomorrow's games. It'll either be 3:30, 6:30, or 8pm.

Hope it's not 8 PM, that'll be such a long wait lol. It's already torture having to wait 2.5 days now

anyone backing off the notion that joe should have benched tatum is drunk on the emotion of the “win.” if hauser or pp or grant replace jt during the game and hit just a few pedestrian buckets, the c’s win going away and they don’t need his last minute “heroics.”

this was bad coaching and if the sixers don’t completely melt down in epic doc fashion, the c’s lose handily. 

our future super max finally hit a few shots, after disappearing for most of the playoffs, including last year’s finals, and suddenly he’s the man? go sell crazy some place else.

i’m glad the c’s won and everyone can revel in the moment, but this isn’t sustainable, winning basketball.

Thank You for telling the truth.

AGREED. PP AND G WILL AND HAUSER NEED TO PLAY

Yes I’m sure Preston Pritchard or Grant Williams are more meaningfully impactful to winning basketball games than Jayson Tatum.

Players miss shots. It happens. You’ll have at least another game to doomsay, don’t worry.

For everyone's viewing pleasure, witness the meltdown over at Liberty Ballers

TP!!! I just do not like the 76ers

So weird to read a fellow fanbase meltdown..

My favourite post was: "glad we took Fultz over Tatum'

[dang], that will never stop hurting them... Like a curse of Babe Ruth thing for a century.

I'm sorry you don't bench your superstar even if they are having a rough game. You think grant or pp or Hauser command the same defense, coverage etc if they are in there in crunch time instead of Tatum?

Smart and Rob showed up tonight. And the team defense was good. That and Tatum getting hot at the end turned out to be enough.

I give him his fair share of crap, but he played a great game. Hopefully he can play another one on Sunday

Just put us out of our miseries

Never mind!

Timelord just brings us to that next level defensively.  We need to start him every playoff game moving forward.

Amazing we won this game with 17 turnovers and a lot of bad plays.  We got fortunate that Melton, Harden and Tucker were cold from 3.

Clearly we have to on Sunday. It'll be interesting to see if we advance what happens.

Let's just wait till we finish Game 7 first to see. I still like to think 76ers have the edge on the road. TD Garden is cursed

Idk game 7 at home would be a massive choke if Celtics went 1-4 at home having homecourt.

Generally I feel good about them in game 7's. They have been here before. Sixers haven't. Momentum is back on C's side

You’re new around here, aren’t you?

Hopefully JT actually makes some baskets in the 1st quarter of Game 7 

He's missed 16 in a row now spanning back to Game 4 I believe.

But if he can get off to a good start, PHI is done on Sunday. PHI only hung around and nearly won because JT was god awful the first 3.5 quarters
