Five turnovers? Yeah I’d say that’s an understatement.

That should absolutely be reviewed. Marcus Smart just a first class A$$hole.

Alright they're counting the Melton 3.

Guys, we can get a championship this year with Harden playing up and down, but we can't bring him back next year.

He should but he just needs to be sharper and not turn it over.

About the worst imaginable half from Harden, and we're still right in it. Embiid looks pretty good, defense has been nice, we seem to have adjusted to what they're doing. I don't hate it so far.

1st half:

Embiid and Melton have been great (that 3 should count)

Both Maxey and Harden are having shockers

More Reed thanks

Ain’t mad at it but Brown’s game is super.

That was about as bad as the Sixers can look, they should be down by 20+ right now. No idea what's going on with Harden, he looks like his head is anywhere but here right now.

I can't believe i'm saying this but....

Not having Tobias right now is killing the offense because Is only Harden driving onto a packed paint or Embiid getting doubled with PJ out there. You can guard Melton with a guard and we have no size match up we can exploit against their wings

The Celtics can close fast on our shooters because they're static as ****

Well, Harden is on track to replicate the EXACT same shooting performance from G2, he is 1/7 and on track to be 2/14 like he was in G2, so not looking good for the "worst imaginable half" lol

As a Harden fan, that's a stinker half by him. WTF are you doing?

Guy is so hesitant. Either just **** shoot or pass. He does not know what to do.

Dude needs a way better sec half to redeem himself FFS.

The amount of open shots that have been missed by our usually good shooters is unfortunate. If one of Harden, Maxey, or the shooters were hitting at a good percentage right now, we'd be tied or within 3. If more than one of those options were hitting, we'd be winning right now.

We've figured out how to neutralize them on offense and we've been getting good looks on offense; we're just not making the shots.

You're right. We need him as a release valve out there. He's low-key been one of our best 2-way players.

Hope the refs don't F him with any more cheap fouls.

Their athletic wings are giving us huge problems.

Harden is scared of getting his shot blocked by Brown.
