The one on Horf was a flagrant 1 - without question. Not even reviewed.

Maxey was clearly fouled by White, Embiid was fouled on that horford rebound, what is up with these refs.

Maxey is good against Raptors and FVV. Don't let those games fool you into thinking he's great.

I like Doris Burke, but I wish she'd take a breath once in a while, I'm trying to watch a game of basketball not listen to an audio book.

Yes! Not just Doris but so many of these broadcasts now. I just wanna watch the game. Too many gimmicks and chatter.

This is not how you maximize his value. He's better at help D and disruptions.

A Harden who defers sucks in the playoffs.

A Harden who's aggressive is the best player in Philly on offense. It's annoying as **** seeing Harden just give it to Embiid and chill. Dude be aggresive ffs.

Yeah. It's not surprising. Because Celtics have guards of his size and quickness to guard him. Raps only have the slow-footed midget and a bunch of lumbering forwards. He shines against teams without sizable quick defensive guards. He's a speed merchant.
