Well...There was a chance that this would happen. We'll have our hands full going back to Philly. We better find a way to take both games because they will not lose another one at home.

Brogdon shooting like Steph Curry has demoralized this team.

Just take this game as practice for Embiid

Interested in Springer time.

We need a counter on G3
- Celts put JB on Harden
- Celts passing less and having quality drives over frequency of drives in their dribble drive leading to less TOs
- Sixers has to be quicker on defensive rotations
- Sixers had to add pace on offense or atleast make quicker passes

I don't think so. This is classic game 2 response by teams that lose one at home. Milwaukee smoked Miami in game two without Giannis after Miami took game 1. Memphis beat the brakes off the Lakers in game 2 after losing. I think we'll be ok. The fact that Embiid looked decent and didn't get hurt is encouraging. We'll be ok.

Still, the main issue right now is how to play PJ without Boston punishing us for it.

McDaniels would not make too much difference in this regard so you need to find some way to address that. Doc is gonna have to watch a lot of tape

Melton’s misses are pretty bad.

Basically, tonight was an Embiid cardio sesh?

The Celtics have much better depth than us, so when our top players aren't great, we have no chance.

The biggest question to me is....Can Harden play really well 4 times in a series?

McDaniels seems like a bad acquisition. Wanted a longer defender than Thybulle with a more willing shot. He doesn’t defend or shoot.

Embiid P · Post #277 » by **Embiid P** » Thu May 4, 2023 1:59 am

Figures. NOW Doc puts House, Jr. in instead of Niang when the game is out of reach. Maybe if we cut into this lead a bit, it will motivate him to try a new rotation in Game 3 though I won't hold my breath.

His defense is also more theory than actual substance

Morey said on the Ricky we were gonna try to resign McDaniels and i don't think we should?

Guy seems super unpolished for his age

Reed on the other hand is a priority to retain
