After having shit in the glue at the end of the match once morest the Celtics, the Sixers will have to move to Boston for a Game 7 which already promises to be epic. If Jayson Tatum was one of the key elements of this success of the Clubs in Philadelphia, it is not the only reason for the defeat, according to James Harden. For the Beard, the referee team had a role in the rout of his people.
Difficult to be lucid following such an end to the match. Just imagine: your team manages the meeting, and the dude opposite – who hitherto bombarded the board – suddenly starts beating you up without you being able to do anything regarding it. This is a bit of what the Sixers experienced last night. The consequence ? A Game 7 will have to be played, in Boston, in front of a TD Garden on its 32 for the occasion. The price to pay is heavy, and James Harden, author of a very gloomy part (13 points at 4/16 in shooting), puts the fault on the refereeing corps, which would have prevented him from finding rhythm.
“Tonight it was frustrating because I’m the player with the most uncalled fouls, that’s a fact. It’s frustrating as a player. When the referees tell you at half-time that they ‘missed fouls’… That’s just it. There were a few missed fouls that would have given me some momentum.” –James Harden
In the facts ? Yeah, there may be a few whistles not given. In reality ? It’s the playoffs, and it’s happening on both sides. The real scandal is that Philadelphia did not know how to manage its end of the match and now finds itself having to play Game 7 away. The prerogative of this kind of match? It is that it will be necessary to concentrate on the GAME. And not on the referees, not on Jean-Paul and his vuvuzela in the audience. Any similar statement following Sunday’s game would be seen as an admission of weakness, so rather than that, the Sixers have more to gain by rocking out for 48 minutes.
