Only down 5 after the Nets threw their absolute best shot at us. We're good I think, but Tobias, Harden, and Jo need to wake up. It's playoffs......

Embiid spiraled a bit at the end but I don’t mind how he’s playing. Doc needs to change up the scheme because we’re just walking into their trap every time.

The party ends in the second half. The Sixers can't play worse than that and they're only 5 down?
The main problem is they won't be able to afford this kind of effort beyond this round.

Tell me again how this team has a chance against Boston?
Joel can barely handle the doubles tonight, how is he going to handle Bostons?

Nets shooting at a hight clip, with refs calling everything they could against us, you would think we are down 20.
5 pts is a good result from the first half given how it went. Doc needs to give the pep talk and let guys regroup.
We are good. Harden needs to wake up tho. Give Maxey the ball and get the **** out.

Again, this is the end result of him being overworked during the regular season. I fault both Doc for giving him too many minutes as well as Morey for not acquiring a true back-up PG to lessen his load.

Joel not rotating on defense. Upside is that he’s on pace for 30 rebs, though.
Also, Harden is the only player on this team that’s skilled enough to consistently hit Joel with a post pass. Melton and Maxey are either bad at it or are too afraid. It’s killing the offense, tbh.

Not surprised at all. I picked the Sixers in 7 and that was me being optimistic.
Doc and Daryl are frauds and Harden is what he is at this point.

They don't have a chance...Unless Tatum and Brown are out.

The Nets are sticking with the 'anyone but Embiid' strategy, the only difference being going small without Claxton. Hit some 3's and this will turn around in a hurry.

Re: R1G2 - 76ers vs Nets - Apr 17 7:30pm ET TNT
long wings who can shoot over our small guards is our kryptonite and the Nets have two. Celtics have 3. Out longest defender is a foul magnet. Been an issue all year.
that being said, its why that player is the golden goose of sorts....very hard to defend.
Got to figure out how to use our size advantage instead of just letting them dictate everything tho

One of those games where we dont run much pick and roll and we dont let Biid operate at the elbow. One of those weird games
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

We’re just putting no pressure on the paint if Harden isn’t attacking switches.

They’re running it, but Embiid isn’t really doing anything on the “roll” part.

they are switching it and making Harden a driver and he has been ass at that. They also have the length to cut off those passing lanes
