    Harden has them so spooked they don't want to double Embiid, and Embiid can play the ref game as good as the Celtics.

    Really good half for Philadelphia

    Makes a big difference when Maxey & Harris show up

    Embiid-Harden-Maxey-Harris have scored 54 of their 58

    this is easily the most mentally tough and resilient Sixers team in the Embiid era

    last year they never come out like this in game 5...last year they rolled into Miami tied 2-2 and got their ass beat then embarrassed themselves at home in game 6

    must be the PJ Tucker effect

    Philly will be hard to beat if Harden keeps playing like Houston regular season Harden. Bostons lucky Embiid is playing injured.

    Philly needs to run the offense through Harden and not get bogged down with all these Embiid isos.

    Boston look outmatched by two MVPs! If they lose this game, they will lose in 6. Game 6 will be the John Hao game and Boston is surly not winning that game!

    I've never heard Reggie commentate Harden so positively as he has this series.

    He hated him in H-Town
