No double teaming at all. Joe needs to drill that into the guys for this series.

Trapping Harden and leaving Niang to shoot stand still 3s is the worst idea and we've done it twice. Just make Harden iso and he'll gas out.

Harden's shooting out of his mind.

Should play him like it's 2016. Make George Niang beat you (he won't).

We were bad from a rotation standpoint. They were bad bc they literally can’t guard our team. Big difference

Harden can’t play any better than that and they lost the quarter by 7

Boston obviously cannot keep this up. Will be interesting to see how they respond when their shooting come back to earth

I don't think it was bad after the timeout at all. Philly was hitting tough shot after tough shot. They are the best 3 shooting team in the league and have some ballers. Sometimes good offense simply beats good defense.

If we keep doing what we did for most of that quarter it will be a comfortable win.

Philly played as well as they can play, and we're still up 7.
