The dreb numbers aren’t bad but my god we do so much expecting someone else to grab a rebound. Tatum passed a layup.

So far Tatum is a no show, they cannot get rebounds. Great start.

Should be fun playing catch-up the entire second half

Tatum is going to get destroyed if we lose this series. Averaging like 6pts under his regular season stats.

They look so slow and passive at times. Like nobody cares..compare them to the Lakers with a bunch of old dudes and intense ASF all game.

Embiid's bocks might be getting to them. Tatum passed out of a pretty easy layup.

Move the ball...rebound

Focus and effort is trash when you are staring at rebounds while they grab them.
