Ugly playoff game favors the Sixers, no? If Harden and the wings can just help out with the scoring i think they'll be back in this game
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

That's why I called him Jason Kidd Tatum. Can't shoot, can't score (Idk why that doesn't matter for Tatum now, but whatever), but playing good defense and getting guys shots.

Yeah, eye test wise, it's not even close lol.

The gap in their passing ability is just too wide to make Embiid's defence be the gap between them.

He is the opposite of clutch-

Like to Tatum - May mean to be great when it doesn’t matter and to suck when it does

Don’t force it Tatum, if they keep doubling you, keep passing. The scoring will come
