Starting Timelord and Horford was a great move.
It's what helped change the momentum of the Raps and Sixers series when we started Ibaka and Gasol.
Don't let Embiid get comfortable in the paint.

Embiid as usual forcing things way too much on offense

Embiid has lost the ball a lot.

Smart and Williams have stepped up for Boston. Smart can still make bonehead plays so we'll see how he continues

Tatum getting all the attention but Embiid hasn't been significantly better for me. Twelve points on 3-for-10 FGs in a home elimination game is a pretty dogsht performance so far.

Doc has to get Tucker out of there. Time lord isn't even paying attention to him. He's letting him shoot open 3s and just shadowing Embiid.
If Tucker can't hit those, they're going to be in trouble.

Tatum is shooting like Derozan, I know scoring is not the end all, but good grief.

Embiid and Harden are 3/10.

Surprised Doc hasn't turned to Niang more. Sixers could use in a shot in the arm from deep. And as I say that he's coming in lol

Embiids looked off. Hes either hurt or scared. Hes not playing confident at all and seems so uncomfortable.

The problem with embiid is not just his stagnant isos, it’s him trying to do other things like putting the ball on the floor and wanting to bring the ball up the court which just leads to turnovers. It’s like he is trying to be jokic when I’m reality he is prime amare 2.0

Rivers time to show he's better at coaching than the teenager across him

Yeah I'm starting to lean that way. Just from the playoffs coaching so far, including this game despite the lead. What's your particular beef with him?
Timeout usage is consistently horrible, in-game adjustments are so much worse than Brad/Ime, legitimately horrific end of game situation coach. And from a motivating perspective, when this team loses it often is because they showed up with zero intensity.
Yeah my beef with him is 1st and foremost just the mental preparation of the team. Game 5 at home, they came out flat. can't have that. and I am seeing the adjustment deficiencies. Or the plays coming out of time outs haven't been great.

Tatum pulled a Ben Simmons avoiding a layup to dish a contested layup to RWIII
Not a peep of criticism. Just shows how coddled this guy is as a star
0-10 and getting Jordan comparisons. Must be nice

as good as he is at protecting the rim, you saw how easily he lost Williams when helping and more importantly -
whenever he misses or loses the ball and proceeds to flop to the ground- the C's are running 4 on 5
it negates the effect he has under the rim
its okay to lose to ball,but stop flopping and get back on D!
