Wow, they are scorching hot. Defense looking bad right now.

We're not winning **** if this is what we're doing. Meanwhile PJ keeps missing 3s, and it takes us 20 seconds to get a shot up.

I was really hoping doc made some adjustment from game 2, it's just the same stuff.

Embiid too slow to come out and close out on 3's.

Celtics will keep chucking up 3's and we can not beat that. The only hope is for them to miss.

We need to play switch defense to match up against them. No other choices.

Joel and PJ are unplayable together. Add in harden and it’s just awful.

Slow the pace, you're not outrunning them, for starters

Everyone needs to look Harden directly in the eyes in this TO and say 'we will lose this game if you try to bait cheap fouls. Play real ball, attack when you have an opening, pass when you don't, and we can keep up with them.'

Even the warriors don't take this many threes. Literally every shot except for 1 or 2 was a 3.

We were never going to beat Celtics, G1 was just a fluke and everyone got their hopes up. We will do well if we win 2 games in this series, it would be an improvement over 2018 and 2020.

The stuff has been fine. The bad execution and decisions have not been.

If they lose, it would just mean Celtics are just flat out better.

They are better, which means you have to beat them with drive and intensity, a la game 1.
