Some Sixers fans comments.
"Every good play by Tatum was like a slap in the face to me. I had to watch Paul Pierce kick our ass for 15 years after we didn't draft him, and now I have to watch Tatum make us look like fools. Face it fans, the Celtics are a better run organization and once again make us look like amateurs. Can't the Sixers ever get it right? We even gave the Celts a pick! Oh, the shame and the pain!"
"Danny Ainge would have drafted Tatum with the first pick. That's the real sin. The Sixers got played in a way they never would have in the Hinkie era. This a superstar driven league as evidenced by the predictable Final 4. The 76ers gave the Celtics a chance at 2 superstars for a player who may make Evan Turner look like a Hall of Famer in comparison."
"We can't use the "young" excuse bc Boston is the youngest team in the nba and jazz are 2nd youngest and they both look prepared, players develop quickly, and their players are heady. I've never heard Snyder and Stevens talk about growing one specific player in a playoff series or praise individual guys. BB was the right coach when we were ranking but now we need a real coach for play calling and making guys accountable"

Redick in that story:
If Redick doesn't know how much time is on the clock then they have bigger issues than Simmons and Embiid's youth. You have to know the game situation.“I think that’s a judgment call,” Redick said. “It was right on the cusp too of, I don’t know the exact timing, but somewhere between 18 and 25 [seconds]. You guys would probably know because you guys have the clicker. We didn’t have the benefit of the clicker to stop the game and look up and see how much time is left. There’s a chance to score an easy two points. I probably would say you should take that up 10 times out of 10.”
