Insane
JT could end up with an FMVP in a Season he wasn't even supposed to play 🔥👑
Brown whistle is trash 2 free-throws like he was getting fouled and Shai same with Murray already got more free-throws than brown in 1 quarter🤣🤣🤣.
Hey Philly fans, eat your cheese steaks made with ass whip , yum
JT & JB THE BEST DUO
Looks like the sixers just gave up early! Weak effort
Gayson Tatum & Jaylen Clown.🤓
Same story every season emidd hurt
Sixers got outscored by 36 from 3. No matter what else happens in the game you've got no chance with that kind of disparity. In the current NBA making 4 3's just won't cut it. Making 4 3's in a half won't cut it.
If Boston ends up winning the chip, that chip would be one of the most special among those banners hanging in Boston's rafters
QUETA
“ We want Boston “ Philly fans are 🤡
Brooo. Jaylen brown getting that curry whistle 😂
NOT ENOUGH FIREPOWER for Sixers to contend in this Series, they have to limit either Tatum or Brown and hope to get their own offensive 3's going. Otherwise could be done in 5.
Tatum shot 1-7 from 3, but still shot 53% from the field tonight. That is what he needs to do: if the three ain't falling, go inside the arc. I guess that Jaylen's knee issues ain't bothering him right now.
JT was cooking in the first half he had 21 points 7-11 fg
Tatum and Brown, the best duo in the NBA with the most potential to make the Celtics the next dynasty.
Love this gap year
hopefully JB carry them against knicks. knicks are scary
jason taytum x jason brown is isnane
This is how it was supposed to be. This goes back to when KG and Pierce were traded in 2013.
Best duo because defense wins championships.
Jaylen Brown clearly getting fouled and no whistle…super obvious!
Riding with the Jay & Jay all day!
1 down, Need that momentum into Game 2! 💚☘
Gap year they said
Best duo of the last decade?
