For the love of God Horford you better find your 3 point shot this series at some point. This is brutal. Better save it for in Philly


Can he just post up instead? That is an option right?


Al hasn’t posted up since Brad Stevens days and when he does do it now it doesn’t come with a positive result most of the time these days it feels like.

Tatum doesn’t like mid shooting does he? It’s either 3 or 50/50 layup. Man if master the mid shots, he’ll be harder to guard.

Harden and Embiid are running out of gas. Harden in particular has no lift on his jumper and little burst on his drives tonight.

i think it should have been Jokic. But the voters just didn't want to give him 3 in a row.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

It’s early but I’ve got no complaints on Joe’s rotations tonight.

okay, I'll say what many of us must be thinking:
Stanley Johnson would be slaying in this game

You can sense his hesitation on both sides of the floor because of those 4 fouls.


Being in foul trouble sucks lol, but he has to start hitting some shots. He’s missed his last 5 or so, but is doing everything else well.

Tough playing in foul trouble

He's a +22


So he has shared minutes with other guys playing well. He has not.


Weird that they are -11 when he’s sat.

JB dominating this game on both sides of the floor.
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Dumb offense by JB. What are you trying to prove taking Embiid on one on one again! Keep it simple
