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.

The thing is we did not give them many wide open 3's in G1 vs G2 and G3

I don't see how we can win this serie sif we don't get more 3s up, and figure out how to stop them from the three point line.

Embiid gonna have to get everyone in foul trouble here if we can't make any shots.

You still can't plow into a guy if he's moving. It's not like a block/charge call in the act of shooting. Dumb play by Tobias.

From my recollection they shot 75% in game 1.

I can't stress how badly we need to acquire more legit forwards this summer, win or lose.

I also don't understand why Maxey can't play against Boston.

I don't see much difference in intensity . Harden had a throwback explosive offensive game we won't see again lol

It’s 2023 and Joel is still trying to dribble the ball up the court.

Just feed it to Jo, only thing we got going now.

OMFG, wtf is with this shooting.

Harden stop with your **** ass passes!

Negrodamus · Post #73 » by **Negrodamus** » Sat May 6, 2023 12:10 am

A few things are evergreen:

Stop foul baiting; leads to transition points
Don't let Brown/Tatum get clean looks ever
Don't let Embiid run the transition and drive into the lane

Good lord, it's not that hard.

You don't get it. In G1 they were driving inside like mad because Embiid was out, their game plan was to feast inside, and the plan was good, because they scored 115 points which is good, it's just that we did amazing on offense in that game, the defense didn't work at all.

If we can't knock down open 3's at home ehh It's a wrap.

eyeatoma · Post #76 » by **eyeatoma** » Sat May 6, 2023 12:11 am

As I said, no one else has it but Jo, just give it to Jo.

Because Boston does not send help that much.

Maxey is a mid to below mid scorer.

I know Embiid and Harden don't listen that well, but it's still hard to believe this stuff can't be drilled into them.

Harden playing trash

Wait, where's the basketball play in pulling him to the ground?
