Zero points. Incredible get-closed-out game by Tobias.

It's become hard to tell whether Harris is no longer any good or whether he's checked out from Philly a long time ago because of years of abuse and just getting his paycheck. No doubt they should have kept Butler over him, but that's not his fault and he was a really decent player who had to play in schemes that did not suit his strength for years.

I guess we'll see if he has anything left when he plays elsewhere next year...I think it'll be great for his mental health to get out of Philly.

The sixers could have so easily won that series. I would be sick if I was a sixers fan.

Tobias Harris for the vet min next year to rebuild his value and get him a ring on our way to banner 19. Who says no

Ainge/Brad did a better job building a team around Marcus Smart, taken 3 picks after Embiid.

9 postseasons, 5 ECFs for Marcus.

If I ever for one second, at any point in the past wanted this guy on my team, I plead temporary insanity or demonic possession.

This and throwing the ball at a fan, twice, is just rude/gross behavior. Very unprofessional.

Active NBA players who’s won an MVP but still without a title: Embiid, Rose, Westbrook, Harden

If Mavs close out, it’s another year where those MVPs don’t win a title.

If the Clippers are eliminated, Jokic would be the only former MVP or Finals MVP still playing in the postseason. Then if the Nuggets don't make the Finals, it would the first time since 2009 that both Finals teams don't have a former MVP.

Wild. He hasn't stopped coaching since 2008. He's only advanced past the 1st round 3x in 16 seasons.

This season the Celtics must make the finals. I don't see them having such an easy route to the finals again realistically. With Butler, Giannis, Lillard, Embiid, Randle 5 all-star players out of their main rivals have been out or seriously hampered. A fully healthy Heat, Sixer, Knicks or Bucks team would have given them a run for their money IMO.

In the near future I think it'll be mainly between the Celtics and Knicks. The Bucks with Middleton and Lillard are getting too old and Embiid is way to injury prone and the Sixers lack a very strong supporting cast. The Knicks have a very good team right now after the OG trade + 8 tradable FRPs and an expiring contract as well. If there aren't career altering injuries I expect a couple tough Celtics-Knicks ECF battles in the next 3-4 years.

I'm glad we are not playing against the Knicks or Pacers in the next round. Let them destroy each other.

The toughest team in the playoffs, by far, is the Knicks. Every possession, every rebound, every single thing is a fight. Thib somehow transformed someone as soft as Divincenzo to a pitbull.

Dude is a loser. Belongs on the Lakers or Heat next season.
