The All-Star team went through Embiid in crunch time this year but the Sixers went to Harris smh

One thing I not notice about philly is they’re playing Boston man to man while we doubled guys like Tatum which allowed them to hit lots of open 3’s. Philly is playing them straight up man to man.

That’s because of Embiid. He’s maybe the best interior defender in basketball.

Philly is a frustrating team to watch. Has to be either low BBIQ on the roster or a bad coach. I swear Burks had as many touches as Embiid did during the 4th quarter.

Also Thybulle has been all over Tatum. I’d like to see Nurse have that same faith in OG. I’d also have Gasol camp in the paint to help on drives like Embiid does, if Theis goes off from 3 then so be it.

They’re mostly just poorly coached.

I’m sure they’ll try it at some point in that upcoming series.

It's like the sixers forget from time to time that the object of the game is to score more points than your opponent.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Lakers fans really thought they were going to the finals :lol: Clippers are the only team out of the top 5-6 teams that doesn't have a glaring weakness.....

Clippers are like the Raptors, they have the depth and elite defense, but on top of that they have the superstar talent.

I had Boston in 6, but this could be a sweep. I overestimated Embiid.

Embiid is out of shape I think. He looked completely un-engaged.
