Yep, wrote this earlier in the thread. We knew this was gonna be a playoff atmosphere, I'd rather have KD and Kyrie on my squad there.

So Embiid shoots 13 free throws in the first quarter and the Sixers are down 17.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Harden coming up small once again. Honestly with the way he has played this season, he may have 1 more year of quality basketball left in him.

Yeah man I hate it. I yell at the TV all the time "WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO" -- so many times NBA defenders just aren't entitled to space the same way offensive players are.

Fans like chippy games where players battle it out physically, the most hype the whole game was when Embiid/KD went at it there. I really hope defenders can get their rights to space back like the beginning of the season.

Harden looked so awkward, for the sake of the game I hope this lights a fire under his ass, but pettily I just do not like Harden despite liking Embiid.

Philly isn't entertaining to watch. Embiid just throwing his shoulder into defenders' chests, gets the whistle, shoots 13 FTs in the 1st Q and the Sixers are down by 17. It's just ridiculous
