Sounds like a **** excuse to me if they lose this game. He got cucked in the 4th by Al

 

Let me know when jokic is playing on a bad knee that is a 4-6 week injury… jokic lost last game playing 42 mins. Gave same 30 points embiid had. I guess he’s not the mvp either 

NBA and the foul, non foul calls are a joke. I remember why I stopped watching

F jokic.

Yeah f 29/14/9. 

Embiid has gotten punked by an old man. 

Tatum with the forearm shiver. Lol

f boston!

 

f jokic twice!

I think embiid played like crap in the fourth quarter so did everyone not named harden. Embiid is the least of my concerns with the sixers when he goes for 34-13.

Melton has scored 2 points in 2 of the four games.

Tobias Harris has reverted back to what he always does in the second round.

And maxey has been bad outside of the second half in game one.

The fact that you got 34-13 from Embiid on a bum knee meanwhile those 3 have been ineffective or bad today is bigger concern. he has in a bum knee and played 46 mins 

Tues and Thurs, no real rest

embiid didn’t get his usual early 4th quarter rest because the bench was trash.

Definitely unlikely to get 42 from harden in game 5. So someone needs to step up. Melton can’t give you 0 or 2 points like games 2 and 4. Maxey can’t be this inefficient with his shooing and erratic with his play. And Harris can’t become Homer Simpson disappearing into a bush the deeper this series becomes.

Melton looks scared on offense...maxey is struggling with the celtics' length...and tobi is tobi.

Melton played like this for the Grizzlies and why they traded him

Maxey doesn't have a defined role in the half court. He basically get told to stand around for Harden and James and he doesn't know how to play that. 

 

Series is tied 2 - 2 so could be in worse spots.

They got 76 from embiid and harden. Considering embiid’s condition and harden’s inability to give you consistent play game to game on one days rest that’s probably close to the best you are gonna get. Heck niang even gave you 9 points which i don’t think you can even expect that from him every game.

This comes down to maxey, Harris and melton have to be better. Those 3 combined for 113 combined mins tonight. They gave you 23 points. And they shot 9-29 (31%) and 3-12 from 3 (25%). Only thing they provided well tonight was rebounding. Cause their defense was anlso trash most of the game especially second half.  that was a home game. You’re usually better at home then you are on the road as a role player.

Watching the replay of tatum’s drive at the end, he saw embiid coming over to help maxey. but really i think if Tatum decides shoots a soft floater as he beat maxey that embiid likely doesn’t get there in time to make a play. Also he had white and smart both wide open on that drive. Not sure if he decided to pass out to white it doesn’t get deflected by maxey or Harris before it gets there. That said was heck of a pass to get it to smart wide open.  Fortunately not enough time left and thankfully smart didn’t get it off. 

why you brought in tucker 

 

 

Thankfully harden hit that 3 of this double. But was a good find by embiid. I’m surprised Celtics doubled off harden with how well he was playing/shooting and didn’t just play embiid straight up knowing his conditioning and play down the stretch. 

You do this? 

Just gotta keep it within 3 

 

1   2   3 4 5 Sixers

it's crazy that harden was directly responsible for both sixers' wins and both losses. he's either been f'n amazing or complete garbage...nothing in between. let's hope he's amazing 2 of the next 3 games. 

 

1) I don't have much hope for Harden in Game 5.  I hope I'm wrong but his pattern suggests a stinker on the way.

2) Micah Parsons so clearly wants to be in Philly. It must drive Cowboys fans crazy.  😄

😅

 

It's not just Harden, they need more out of Maxey and Harris too.  Yes Harden can still carry them from time to time but they need the other guys who aren't expected to carry them to be far more consistent contributors.  Every one of them needs to be more aggressive but Doc doesn't seem able to coach that.

Yeah Harris was not good either game besides rebounding. He averaged 8 points the last 2 games. Even niang averaged more over the last 2. Add on he was a +16 entering the 4th and overtime. He was a -2 in 13 of the 17 4th/OT minutes he played. He had 0 points, 0 boards, 2 fouls and 2 TOs during that stretch
