I'm not watching ... are the fans chanting "MVP" every time Embiid gets the ball?

It's not on him. He's a rim protector, he doesn't have the footspeed to guard on the perimeter. Boston is abusing Philly every Embiid get switched on Tatum. It's up to Doc to make an adjustment which he hasn't at all. Whoever is guarding Tatum gotta fight and recover through those screens quicker. Maybe they should do some ball denial as Tatum is bringing the ball up the court. Make Tatum have to give it up and catch the ball on the move. Or even try Jalen McDaniel who is their best perimeter defender and hasn't played all series. Doc not elite at making adjustments after plan A stops working. He's getting fired after this

Embiid harden and rivers, 3 of the most overrated at what they do. The result isn’t shocking

Man I have my doubts if Doc gets canned. Seems ingrained in that organization.

It is a little unfortunate though, this was gearing up to be a great game

BOS V MIA Trilogy incoming!

Have a feeling the Heat wanted another try at the Celtics

Vertical Limit · Post #1393 » by **Vertical Limit** » Sun May 14, 2023 9:33 pm

Aint nothing changed. We have been underdogs since the play in tournament. Beat Bucks as a massive underdog, beat Knicks as an underdog, and we will be massive underdogs against Boston again. We have overachieved. We go to Boston and try to split the first two games.

Not excited about going against Boston without Herro tbh. They just have entirely too much offensive firepower when they get going to be missing our 20 ppg scorer.

It is what it is though. Jimmy and Spo have been pulling rabbits out of their hats this post season so far (and that revenge series win sure would be nice) so let’s keep it going

It will be extremely difficult to beat Boston 4 games.

If you don’t value bam, go and watch embid allow the 10+ open 3’s in pick and roll in the second half

Vertical Limit · Post #1397 » by **Vertical Limit** » Sun May 14, 2023 9:39 pm

It would have been difficult with Herro regardless. His playoff efficiency numbers are below average, duncan robinson is a more efficient player.

Boston and Miami again ...Wouldn't the NBA like another result Then the one we have last season?

3ammy3uck3ts · Post #1399 » by **3ammy3uck3ts** » Sun May 14, 2023 9:41 pm

Jimmy Bam and Spo will be ready to carry us again like last round, shooters need to get hot again.

Don’t worry, they still won’t and probably think Embiid is a better defender :lol:
