Embiid needs a 2 minute rest. Let Maxey work 

Looked like flop to me

Worst officiated game of the season? 

"Brooklyn has not committed a single foul in the 2nd half.” That sentence pretty much says it all.

As frustrating as this game has been, it's been entertaining. Kind of reminding me of the Heat series a few years ago. 

What a tough pull up by Bridges.

Love embiid but his ability to score in this series has been awful the past two nights. He’s averaging 20 ppg after tonight’s performance. And each game he’s gotten worse. Gone from 26 to 20 to 14. He’s getting worse offensively each game. Not winning a title with embiid only getting 20 a night against Boston or Milwaukee. 

My god maxey... Might need his shirt

Doc is doing him zero favors by just catching it where he does. Not putting in Embiid in any positions, he is okay with the support cast winning the game.

And those teams have better players to throw double teams at him.

That’s how I felt the other night. I said is doc going to make an adjustment or is He just going to hope that these guys continue to make shots. It’s really not a great strategy after the first round.  It will work against Brooklyn but it’s not going to work long term if other teams go with the strategy as they have better talent and i don’t see our guys making the same clip against better opponents like Boston and Milwaukee 

playoff tucker at least hit one. now we cant lose at least.

How the hell is that a foul on Tucker? Even if you're somehow going to call that, there's no way that's a shooting foul.

Low left block or FT extended facing up but he has him at 3p line. Really is bone headed coaching 

Well... Embiid didn't do much scoring, but that block is the play of the game.

I got -4.5, like please come on

They explained it the last game. That with them in a zone the double teams come faster to the lower block and embiid can't see the whole court. If he gets it up top it takes the double team to get there longer and embiid can see over the double team and the whole floor.

That works but ultimately you want the ball in his hands. Get him in positions to score, he isn't Jokic 

Annoying game, but I'll take the W. That was the Nets giving us their best shot, and it wasn't enough, even with a BS Harden ejection. I expect a blowout Saturday to complete the sweep.
