If Harden remains healthy there is no reason we can’t win this game or the rest of them. He smells blood. There is nobody more motivated than him. This is a prove it year and he has a score to settle. I would make sure we stagger him with Reed and keep Embiid on a minutes restriction using primarily PNR plays. That allows paint collapse and kick outs. Let Harden keep working mismatches as he sees fit. I can see us losing if we revert to an Embiid centric post up approach.

I'm sure about everyone here has the same level of concern about your well being.

Embiid is back!!! Let’s fukin go 2-0 baby. Just having him on defense alone means no more easy buckets and on offense just run the pick and rolls and no one can stop it .my body is ready for 2-0

We should continue letting our guards cook. Use Embiid for defense and rebounding. Of course, they'll have to pay attention to him on offense, but lets keep the guards and Tobias involved.

Is Smart playing?

I hope Embiid is really good to go and not forcing it.

Don't kill yourself for the 2-0, get acclimated and trust the guards to win the game. We still have home advantage right now whatever happens today, keep the momentum.

Let's **** go

GREAT

But still, i would like to diversify the offense, give Boston different looks so you make them guess more on defense.

It’s crazy that the path to the finals won’t feature the first seeded Bucks. In that sense there should be laser focus on winning this series. No looking ahead.

Embiid shouldn't play me thinks. Crowd would explode in Philly if he returned game 3. We already took home court. Celtics are going to push the pace to test that knee and I expect smart to dive for Embiids knee a few times
