Man, I didn't realize the Sixers didn't score the last 4:23 of the game until Seth Curry's garbage score in the final second. That is Thibs-era Bulls-like.

Bucks actually play good basketball and win.

Don't trust them at all in Game 7 though. This series, home team has won every game, no reason not to believe that trend continues.

However, if Milwaukee can play a similar style in Game 7 to Game 6, I like their chances.

Seeing the Suns and Booker specifically in these playoffs has me anxiously awaiting for the Bulls to return to the playoffs. I know Zach was built for this and I can’t wait until he gets the opportunity to show out on a playoff stage ?

I still can't get over that Nets-Bucks game last night. Even if Durant made that shot at the end there was going to be a 2nd OT. Durant would have been moving on fumes.

I was simultaneously impressed by Durant's performance and sickened by his incessant whining to the refs. Every single play!

But, man, he earned more respect in a second round loss than in winning a ring. Last two games were epic.

Ben Simmons is so allergic to scoring. He passed the ball when he had a clear dunk. lol

He's deathly afraid of being fouled.

Dude should spend the entire offseason just shooting free throws, but I'm sure he won't.

So like, this Sixers team has to break up right? You've essentially failed 4 years in a row now with this crew.

Yea, I dont see how Simmons is back and probably Doc. He was terrible.

I have never seen such a physically imposing player play like trae young in bigger than him.

Mind blowing and Embiid shrunk in big moments.

Hawks didnt even play well. The Sixers just crumbled moment after moment.

Call me crazy, but if you're going to pay a guy $31 million, you'd expect that guy to be on the floor at the end of a Game 7.
