Also, James must have been hurting last year during the playoffs. He was absolute trash and we're seeing him rise to occasion in a similar situation this year.

Someone called this happening in the other thread. Fast and loose. Boston didn't know what to do.

Can he at least not get beat back door 15 times?

To be fair, they made this argument way before the game started, I saw them talking about this in GB.

I'm starting to believe one team is gonna throw stupid money at him

Nah chill he got roasted on defense all game lol. Nice way to step up on that play though

Hopefully we are that team.

We're capped, not much money we can offer him, specially if Harden opts out and we max him. Hopefully he doesn't get an offer sheet

Muzzalla got outcoached here. Watch the tape again. And ask yourself why first half was played that way

So we're resting Embiid for G2 right?

This is the perfect start to this series. The goal was to throw Boston off their game, get them overconfident and disrespecting us and hopefully flip it on em and steal a game. That's exactly what we did. Mission accomplished. I do expect Boston to be more focused in game two. I think we need to keep it on em no matter how hostile it gets. We got one, lets try and steal two.

Sixers are undefeated when PJ Tucker scores 0 points in the playoffs

I’d put some benchmarks with Jojo, if he’s not hitting them then he has to sit it out.

If Jo sits, Maxey better come out to play

Has to be. It would be foolish to bring him back before game three.

Yo where's the homie MIK at? He's got to be doing some breathing exercises right now, I know I am! Holy crap this was amazing! You could just feel it tonight. We had a chance.

**** yeah let’s go get another one!! Pressures in them to win this game for sure going back to philly with embid coming back down 0-2 is probably going to result in a gentleman’s sweep or a sweep period

Maxey got some great looks in that game that didn’t fall. If Boston doesn’t clean up their defense, he will go off one game.

Incredible Harden game, huge props to him. I’ve been a skeptic of his for a longtime but that was a MVP type playoff performance.

ProcessDoctor · Post #439 » by **ProcessDoctor** » Tue May 2, 2023 2:06 am

Harden better get some credit and apologies after the way he played tonight. The same way Steph and Jimmy got theirs, James better too.

That was an unbelievable performance.
