I cannot believe I'm saying this. They couldve been better without Embiid this game
They lost because of James Harden. He went 0-6 from the 3pt line and shot 2-14 from the field. All the other starters on Phily shot over 40% from the feild
this aint even a excuse half of yall clueless…would you be 100 percent coming off injury? besides it seems like some of yall dont watch basketball…he just came off injury…too.
I’m glad they got atleast 1 dub In Boston if Boston 2-0 it be tough for 76ers
Why are yall being stupid in the comments saying Embiid hurt us. He played great D and protected the rim we’re a better team with him.
"Our flopping game didn't come through"
Basically.
I actually think the way to win against Boston is to have James and the rest of the team play they did when embiid was out, and have embiid be a rim protector and contribute when needed. This is where I dislike docs coaching. Feed embiid might work for other teams but I don’t think it works for Boston. Either embiid needs to have a remarkable game to win this way or they lose. I’d like to see the whole team involved.
Everyone saying embiid playing is bad is blind, his rim presence alone is enough to put him out there
Embiid had like 2 weeks off. The guys always played like that when he came back from injury most of the time. I think next one will be a game
No 45 tonight 🤷🏿♂️
Don’t play embiid now he’s yall mvp plus James harden came back to earth just in time to choke n not have to be take the blame, imagine losing the series to Boston and getting the mvp n the process outta Philly for good 😂 sounds like the JH special
Embiid can go man…
It's no coincidence Harden scores over 40 when Embiid's out and it's his team. They have awesome chemistry but the design of the team changes
the flow of the offense was all messed up
Love the way he answered all the questions spot on
you went casper per usual
mvp of the league comes back and you get smashed some MVP🤣🤣
Sixers had very stagnant offense, while Boston moves the ball better
Embiid makes the team worse
I don't understand why these guys have to answer 20 questions after every single game. It's so silly. It's basketball. The other team scored more
Go sixers
I’m a Celtics fan but if y’all want to win there needs to be more harden pick n roll while spacing the floor amd having shooters ready with Joel on the weak side waiting for a lob if he isn’t setting the screen. And just play through harden and his playmaking ability then when you really need a bucket give it to Joel and let him eat and if he has the hot hand keep feeding him. It’s that simple.
Boston defense played 100 💯 better is the reason why
Reminds me a little when Shaq was on the sun's. Except Shaq was older then.
Losses to bounce back
Sixers losing this series. You can book it. 5 games.
Exactly! Embiid should only score if he boxes out in the paint. Beat them with Zone, fast breaks and the 3 ball. Boston can't stop that.
We (Sixers) aren't obligated to only have ONE type of chemistry, our offense can work in more than one way!
If Celtics play D and be aggressive doesn’t matter what the sixers do. Harden went off and they barely beat them
They ain’t winning with embid on the floor. The ball was not moving and offense was slow. They need to let harden and others lead the offense like game 1. Boston likes fast tempo and embid can’t keep up with them
Prime Harden is long gone no more rocket man
💪🏾
Come on Celtics expose the media's wokeVP 😂
Camera quality boonkey juice on this interview
Celtics in 6 ☘️☘️☘️ should of went with what was workin now we made some adjustments and y’all poked the bear Tatum 7 points sits out the whole 4th quarter he gonna play out of his mind in Philly
Embiid needs to let James have this series
Harden has to demand a 5 out offense simple as that , like he said about the spacing, we need space to do great things those of us with thr ability, Harden needs to just 5 out and Iso 🔥
They should trade embiid and build differently
I feel like Doc should’ve kept Embiid out the game and let Harden and Paul Reed work together like the first game. I love Paul Reed energy ‼️ Doc gotta go or Harden gotta go back home
The refs were terrible and we’re against Philly
Lmao so your MVP comes back and y’all get blown out by 34 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😂😂😂 couldn’t be Jokic
It's all over for 76ers, 2nd round playoff exist again
Let it be known phili not winning another game in thşs series
Everyone just looked flat and downright scared on the Sixers. Nothing was falling and they were all playing tight and worried it seemed. They need to loosen up and relax. Start attacking the basket and you really can't shoot that bad of a percentage every game. I mean nothing was going in for the Sixers and everything was going in for Boston. It's going to be interesting to see what the Celtics can do without any home energy when they get to the center Friday night.
Embiid destroys the chemistry that James created with sixers players. James only need paul reed not embiid look doc rivers have to understand that james harden almost destroyed warriors in 2018 Celtics nothing compare to them so they just have to believe in james big fella should stay out at least for this series. Not only embiid also when I was watching the game I realized that when harden calls for screen players didn't make a great position to let james harden pass the defense their positions bad therefore harden couldn't make a clean shot.
We should've got harden years ago 😭😭😭😭
Give some credit to the Celtics. They locked him down
It was Doc fault
Sixers did what they had to do. Take the loss and get prepared to hold your court down.
Bro the amount of in and outs James harden bro if it went in Boston would not win
