Well, we had what looked like it was going to be an epic game seven for a half, but Jason Tatum and

0:06.3

the Boston Celtics had some other ideas. What a performance by the Celtics, by Tatum, and of

0:14.4

course Philly is going to face questions after this desultory loss. But largely I would say that the

0:22.5

Boston Celtics did this to the Philadelphia 76ers. They were unbelief. Particularly in that third

0:29.2

quarter, which the per law Marie, the 33 to 10 margin, was the largest differential in a quarter

0:36.4

of any game seven of all time. So at the 10 points, the 10 points scored by the Sixers is the lowest

0:44.2

in any quarter in a game seven of all time. Incredible. And I'm sure there will be people who

0:50.4

get into big narratives and we'll see what the ripples of this organizationally are for Philadelphia

0:56.0

in time. Not right now is we're recording this after the game. But it was a, as you mentioned,

1:01.2

like I mean, I don't want to lose sight of how fun and competitive the first half was. I mean,

1:05.5

1:20.5

you know, Harden was in transition. You can't care to do that. Basket was obviously going to go

1:23.9

on or anything like that. And he had lost it before. Yeah, obviously. Exactly. And but from that

1:30.0

point, whether that counts as an inflection, or it's just like that was the, that was just happened

1:35.2

to be the moment, Boston took firm control. And one way of describing there a bunch of ways you

1:41.2

can describe that third quarter. But one of them for me when I was going through the sats,

1:44.5

Jason Tadeem scored 17 in that third quarter. The rest of his Celtics teammate scored 16 and

1:49.7

filled up a scored 10. Yeah. One point in the third since the end of the first quarter, it was

1:56.3

sixers 29, Tatum 27. And Philadelphia just couldn't do anything to deal with them. They certainly

2:03.0

tried everything. Maybe they tried a few too many except for making him go right, but other than that.
