What worries me:
- fouls
- biid looks like he’s not moving well
- a lot of sloppy mistakes (fouling 3pt shooter, maxey lazy pass cross court)
- harden and biid’s demeanor (i dont like their body language, crossing my finger they’re just acting)

Nevermind, we need to enter the 4th quarter with a lead around 15 to have a chance to win imho

Good game by the boys until now.

They should be. Sixers gave them some life. Stupid possessions down the stretch of the 2nd quarter. embiid has to stop settling for those threes.

Common theme “team x playing poorly and yet still just down by y”

Yes, because of the refs

Doc saving James Harden for the 4th quarter.

The Sixers are playing well, but really should be up by 12-14 right now, and just look like the better team. Boston lives and dies with the 3-pointer, and if they aren't dropping they have nowhere else to go. The Sixers let them back in with some sloppy play and bad fouls.

When the Sixers are firing on all cylinders, and Embiid is focused like he is tonight, they are just flat out better than Boston. Unless they go away from what they're doing, I see a closeout game coming up on Thursday at WFC.

That was my opinion as well.

They are afraid to go inside because of Embiid so if you can stay with them and not allow them to take open 3's you turn them into a jumpshooting team.

Our defense is underrated when the effort is there. Their linebackers can’t simply do layups with Embiid in there.

What's wrong with their demeanor? I believe they are focused and just trying to keep their composure.

Check what i said about Tatum before the playoffs. Thats why

Their style of play is elite pre-crunch but on high pressure their style wont work.

Massive credit to Doc & the staff. They have these guys credit for this defensive scheme, fantastic rotations.
