Yup. But we need to find ways to defend this because Al Horford isn’t missing those and it costed us the third game against the Celts

Double digit win after taking their best shot they could possibly give us.

Last Sixers possession to end halftime. He played Melton role.

Nets’s can’t double because he’d be around the rim

He was in the PJ spot on the corner, not on the rim

Not scared of the Celtics. Every game outside the first has been competitive and could have went either way.

Nothin richer than a fanbase with Marcus smart on their team accusing others of flopping.

Is Boston going to play Embiid this way?

Playoff Glenn and playoff Jim are a huge anchor.

That’s the sign you need. Wasn’t Hardens game tonight but playoffs is where stars step up when needed. Harden will have a great game again. This team is gelling

Being able to survive the backup center minutes is life changing.

I loved what I saw. Nets don't have a strong homecourt advantage, we can close this one out.
Take their heart in Game 3. Yeah I'm cold hearted.

I'm talking about going to Philly for this opportunity. The time is now.

Read on Twitter

Then check the Melton basket to end the half. Then also check the Biid fade away in crunch time

Bad Harden showed up again. Thankfully Maxey cooked. Jo was incredible defensively and then got it going at the end of the game. They are mixing double/triple teams with single coverage and it can throw Jo off. He could have scored better on single coverage, but I think he'll get better at that. Biggest problem was the off game from Harden. Hopefully it was just an offgame and not something related to the achilles. Gotta go to Brooklyn and finish them off. 2 games, and we shouldn't be back in Philly.

Nets kind of raised the white flag here.

Don't think so, they might a little, but they have two centers.

That being said, they have the personelle to do a better job with it than the Nets. Think we might be seeing this for every series in the post season. Double and make the others beat you.

Really good win. You could see at halftime, down only 5 having played like garbage, that the dam would inevitably break.

Very impressed by Embiid's maturity, doubled every possession but never forced it, didn't lose his cool, passed well and let the game come to him, and dominated defensively and on the boards. One of his most impressive lower scoring games.

Maxey is the real x-factor for our chances to really make noise this off-season. If he can give us games like this when Embiid and Harden aren't clicking, this team will be very difficult to beat.

Celts is more advanced. They’ll direct and anticipate where Biid will kick out the ball then close out better.

Celts will also have Al camp outside the arc and force Biid to step out where Jaylen, Tatum and Brogdon will cook. But I think we’ll play some sort of a zone defense or we’ll shade their drives collectively. They’re also doing it with Capela and the Hawks in G1.
