If I was coach, this behavior would be unacceptable. Players care more about stats than more possessions in play offs, it is unbelevable.


Interesting discussion, obviously those shots impact their percentages which then get used to measure them against other players. Which leads to all nba selections and millions of dollars

WTF is wrong with the 76ers offense in this quarter so far? No one is making anything right now. Lucky, the Celtics are continuing to settle for 3pt shots, instead of trying to score in the paint area.

In the playoffs? NBA selections have already been decided. Every point matters.

Harden was late with the faking an injury on that call, looked like an offensive on him to me

Boston just can't capitalize. Philly is literally begging you to take the lead and Boston keeps laying an egg.

Tatum has some really inexplicable misses at the rim. He had an easy layup there, but instead kind of threw up a prayer at the backboard for no reason

Celtics finally go to the paint now that Embiid is back on the floor. SMH.
