Boston baby let's goooooooo
Doc Rivers takes pride in his defense. Lol His favorite player on the Team can't play defense. TobiAss.
Sixers took the lead in the first quarter when TobiAss was on the bench.
Harden can't get Embiid the ball in the post with Embiid triple teamed all the time
Harden always cries for Fouls that the refs used to give to him but stopped giving it to him a couple years ago. Due to this the Sixers always play 4 on 5 on defense. He needs to get back on defense instead of crying foul
Then Harden & Maxey and Niang need to stay home and get some rest night before games. When they hangout all night it always shows. They are always reluctant to take three points shots because they are tired.They did the same last year in Miami after hanging out in South Beach.
Harden you have to at least give give us 25 and sixers play D fence like it's game 7 come on we could do it
Harden have to look to score the ball more
More like 76ers lost despite chronic intervention and bias from referees (Foster), especially in the first quarter. Only 30 points from Embiid when Foster wouldn't let the Celtic's defend him. Foster would not let anyone even touch Embiid but you could slap around the two Jays with impunity. The talent Foster has for impacting games gives me pause and makes me wonder if he's gambling on games. The defense of Philly is fine, Boston's has just been better. Stephen A as usual is clueless.
What do y'all think about making Embiid the hub down low. Put him in the post and let him shoot and pass to attacking 3 and 4's and hit the spot yps for 3's? The whole team needs to man up. Stop letting Boston run through them like they are not even there. With Joel stationed down low and the other getting in front of bodies. Make it harder for them to get to the basket! Or have the Sixers with the current players have really reached they're peak?
Conditioning. Dude is mj with a week rest
Harden said he can duplicate what he did in game 1 if needed so what's the problem
