James Harden in Game 7: 18 PTS 6 REB 3 STL 61.1% TS ELITE defense and gravity 🔥

"From the 'Lord Supreme' of the big man alliance, I salute you." @SHAQ gives @JoelEmbiid his flowers after a DOMINANT Game 7 performance 👏

Tobias Harris in Game 7: 30 PTS 9 REB 3 STL 5-7 3P The first player in NBA history with 30+ PTS, 5+ REB, 3+ STL and 5+ 3P in a Game 7.

Hating a player who won 2 playoff games without Joel Embiid, had 2 40-point games with game winners against the Boston Celtics, mentored Tyrese Maxey, and helped stamp Embiid’s MVP should not be hated by the fanbase.

36 year old Paul George, after going down 3–1, held Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in Games 5–6 to: 4/17 FG (23.5%) 0/3 3PT (0.0%) 5 TOV while averaging 19.5 PPG 46.7% FG 50% from 3 6.5 REB 5.0 AST 2.0 STL +/- +15 Record: 2W Turned the series around

Paul George cuts. Paul George scores! 23 points and counting... Philly is rolling at home 👏

ARE YOU KIDDING. 🤯

JOEL EMBIID! 🗣️

It needs to be studied or put in a documentary one day the work between Joel Embiid & @DrewHanlen The man picked up a basketball at 16 and is one of the most skilled players in NBA history on full display last night in the Boston Garden. Good heavens Joel. All time performance

My rookie of the year

76ers star Joel Embiid will return tonight in Game 4 against the Celtics over two weeks after surgery for appendicitis.

In 10 ISO possessions, Paul George is producing 1.70 points per possession. In 13 Pick-N-Roll Ball-Handler Possessions, Paul George is producing 1.69 points per possession. Might be time to try out a bit more on-ball time for PG against Boston.

Sheed, Prince, Wallace, Halmiton and Billups were DIFFERENT! They are one the Best Defensive Teams in NBA History.

NBA teams were 1713-1 when leading by 6 or more in the last 30 sec of regulation in the playoffs in the last 29 years. They are now 1713-2. Rockets are the 2nd team in 29 years to blow a 6+ point lead in the final 30 seconds of regulation, joining the 2024 Knicks.

James Harden had a solution for anything the Raptors threw at him in the PNR yesterday: Punishing drop coverage, burning switches, and hitting the open man whenever he drew multiple defenders

If you’re not a Philly fan, you’ll never get it… If you give everything, you’ll be loved forever. Iverson is the perfect example - He never won anything but gave absolutely everything he had. Embiid is the same. Dude has played through more injuries than anyone. We love that.

The National Basketball Coaches Association announced today that J.B. Bickerstaff is the 2026 recipient of the Michael H. Goldberg NBCA Coach of the Year Award.

Paul George is about to redeem himself. PG looked like a shell of himself when he signed with the Sixers. His numbers went down. He was always in and out of the lineup. The 25-game suspension just added fuel to the noise. With no timetable on Joel Embiid's return, the Sixers needed someone aside from Tyrese Maxey to carry the scoring load heading into the postseason. Instead of treating PG as the next Tobias Harris, Nick Nurse let PG be PG. And the results speak for themselves. Since the suspension, George has improved his overall numbers and is doing it at a much more efficient pace: 🔹21.0 PPG 🔹5.7 RPG 🔹3.3 APG 🔹47.2% FG 🔹41.5% 3PT Last night, he showed exactly why he was worth the $200 million price tag. Playoff P is back 🔥
