9-2 run to end the half. that was big.
being down 9 at the half is a hell of a lot better than being down 16.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything

Could've been worse...but reasonably good finish to the half. Tatum needs to show up

OK.
Down 9 at the Half; in Hostile Territory.
The Final Score, is what counts.

Horford defense has been so bad overall
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

When Horford is on him. Okay him for the drive. Just eliminate space, make him finish over length. Stupid allowing him to get space on 3s.

Maybe you go small for a spell. Three guards/Jaylen/Jayson.

Down 9 with Horf, White and Tatum a combined 4 for 20. Just come out and play. Philly can't be feeling too hot going into the half with only a single digit lead after that performance. 21 from Harden and 19 from Embiid....we're in this

Also Doris is so annoying. Can she at least hide it?

We are getting bottles. Locked the **** up hard. Can’t get nothing in the paint. Can’t get the Jays on their spots. Great D by Philly.
Let’s hope that snaps Tatum’s funk there.
Nonsense. We’ve missed heaps of open shots
Watch the game. Physical defense, NOTHING in the paint. Smart taking open 3pt shots is what they are giving up. Jaylen hasnt had a single open shot, Tatum has had one.

Just saw the harden monkey comment, that’s really bad. I don’t think we’ll see john1c back for a long time if at all.

As bad as that first half was they are only down 9 and Embiid/Harden have combined for 40 points.
It feels like if Tatum shows up in the second half the C's can very much win this.
They at least got out of the half without Tatum or Brown picking up their third foul.

Lucky to only be down 9. Very winnable game still. We know Tatum won’t have just 2 points second half. Run things through Brown though and stop settling for jumpers. Go with the guy who gets it done in clutch time.

What do you expect him to do against a dude who's 3-4 inches taller, also longer and is shooting mostly mid range j's?
Happy Malcolm has stepped up...
Tatum is again disappointing. If he doesn't step it up, that would be pretty much his 3rd or 4th game in the current playoffs where he's looked like ****. His shot selection has been god awful, too and yea, the rebounds are with nobody from the Sixers around.
Hopefully, White can step up a bit more in the next half. I would also like us to push the ball more... the way Malcolm has.
Brown's been pretty good.
Good assessment:

Would be Great to go back to Boston, up 3-1.
