Not only is Harden lethargic but he’s being too predictable.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

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 ****



It’s also because both Maxey and Harden look like they are seeing ghosts. It gives Celtics too much time on their hesitation

Niang/Harris at least gives you an outside threat

Our shooters being th best % wise was always a bit of fools gold

They are static shooters for the most part. Need some JJs…ideally not complete zero on the other end lol

If I had to trust one our guards to help carry us this 2nd half, it has to be Maxey. Harden is walking around like he's seeing dead people everywhere.
2025-2026 Philadelphia 76ers:

Maxey/McCain/Lowry
Edgecombe/Grimes/Gordon
George/Oubre/Edwards
Bona/Watford/Barlow
Embiid/Drummond/Broome

Maxey needs to take more shoots, he has pass on some he should be taking. Outside of that i don't know what more he is tasked to do

Harden has just been brutal, his passes are horrible and once he drives to the paint it looks like he doesn't know what to do with the ball there. Is just horrific

Tucker did all that huffing at Reed in the first game he better be getting in Harden and Maxey in the locker room right now, Embiid too

Take out game 1 and Harden is shooting 29% in the playoffs. Go back to Houston and take fraud Morey with you.....even if they win the title, I don't want Harden back.

Well, at least we can put in our other point guard, right?

Oh wait, we signed Montrezl Harrel and left an open spot for Dwayne Dedmon to cheerlead on the bench.

Someone needs to yell at Tucker to stop turning down open corner 3's on the kickout. He's killing our offense.

The entire team needs more off ball movement, i don't expect the Warriors or the Kings, but Maxey could easily run some 2 or 3 screens by possession to get free on the 3 point line and we should encourage that.

That's on the coaching tho

Whole team needs a gutcheck. They have to come out desperate in the 2nd half. Need this game.

Yeah the wins and fun times have made people forget the major flaws this roster has

The fact that we are carrying two centers who can’t play and a guy who has asked to be traded twice is hurting right now

Harden and Maxey can’t be playing like this.

Nergodamus what were you saying about Brown? That’s 3 games now, he’s been the best player on the Celtics not even close.
