Embiid Embalmed! Game 3 Victory Cigar vs PHI 5/5 (BOS leads 2-1)

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

Tatum has been pretty quiet, I think the Sixers are doing enough to keep him out of rhythm...And his shot looked off early on. I was happy to see him locked in the last two minutes or so. Brown has been a lot more exciting to watch.

I am often shocked when I see his point totals, seemingly quietly putting up 27 pts. I guess the standards for him are just too high lol.

Lol what?

JT had 10 points in the first 4 min of the game with two 3s and a midrange. His shot was pure early, his effort to score at the rim against Embiid to set the tone (along with JB) at the start of the second half was spot on and then his shot was pure again to finish them off.

He literally set the tone at the start of both halves then finished them off.

This is not taking away anything from JB who was also excellent.

It does not have to be one versus the other, they are both on OUR team.

Surprise surprise, JB vs Tatum again, that's new.

Horford for me. Those threes he hit were absolutely clutch. Defending rim, going at Embid on both ends knowing how tired Embid would be.

Brown just as deserving for continuous pressure on embid in the paint and guarding Harden very well.

Smart was awesome too. Hige threes, great D/hustle.

JT just hitting big shots late like a true superstar. Not his best game but a good bounce back for sure.

Got to give the reporter who laughed at Horford a puff then

Brown is picking up Harden full court, they are starting their offense hecka late. he's defending Harden so differently from g1 IMO. that D puts pressure on their entire offense. not the only way he's in harden's pocket and I'm not going to let it go as harden just playing like caca.

this doesn't mean they can't adjust but jb is defending him differently initially and our guards are doing better getting around screens (smart is going to get around screens no matter what).

Yeah, Harden hasn't been the same since Jaylen started hounding him full court. I love it when he's locked in on defense like this. His team defense still isn't that good, but when he's asked to check a certain player he's pretty effective because of his strength and quickness. I still remember how he put Siakam in a torture chamber back in 2020.

Yo I was thinking the same **** lol he absolutely broke pascal.

He’s been all over harden and he’s looked completely spent trying to do anything. He was even doing a lil Ben Simmonsing passing out of layups.

But it is a shame that Al only responds when being ridiculed or laughed at...
We need a fan in the building to make fun at him every playoff game
