That was some terrible coaching. Running the clock down when you're down 1 in a playoff game? WTF

Tatum should've taken that shot and the 4th quarter shot.

Game 5 will be a blowout but let’s see if Philly can take game 6. A game 7 would be hilarious. Harden.

I was told a couple pages ago an open shot for Smart is the best you’re going to get :-?

I really don't understand not calling a timeout there. When you let the clock tick down, you put so much pressure on yourself. They just needed 1.

Shart brick to end regulation.
Shart late to end overtime.

Delicious.

Tatum drained the clock and then passed it too late instead of trying to shoot it

Harden as Alpha works.

2-0 with that strategy.

Man, Embiid had 34/13 on 26 shots. Let's not pretend Joel didn't show up.
Shook while the lead was evaporating. Carried by harden.
