Destino Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 6 minutes ago, Renegade7 said: 76ers looks like a team that needs to decide whether to improve their bench or get a third star...they got 69 points combined from Embiid and Harden right now and barely in overtime struggling to avoid going down 3-1...with 11 total points from their bench... Celtics are better team, but would like to see Philly pull this out so the series doesn't just end already... embiid gives his team too many bad possessions. The end of regulation in this game was a great example of this. He’s a supremely talented player but when he goes hero ball he’s too likely to dribble himself into a bad shot. He needs to pass out of some of these, but he might not have the court vision for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Boston HC deserves to get called out for not calling timeouts at the end of 4th Q and OT. Had chances to end this series, at what point are you trusting your guys so much there's questions why you're even needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Double-down on Boston HC, how in the world do you let your players think its okay to leave Harden alone on the 3 point line like that? The way he looked while he was waiting it was cartoonishly obvious he was about to get a kickout, and had like 39 points at that point in the game?

ixcuincle Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I bet too much with my heart and not with my head. Conventional wisdom thinks that the Sixers even up the series because they're not that bad But my heart hates Philly despite this being a Josh Harris team and I don't want them ever to have nice things Betting on Boston constantly can be dangerous...

They had a small lineup in and Philly got Embiid switched on Tatum. He’s the mvp with a mismatch going for the tie. I get it but I don’t think it’s super egregious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profit? you can force Embiid into a bad shot and he often likes taking them so that’s the plan I guess. but if you don’t help worst you get is a tie if he scores where leaving Harden open can give them the lead so yeah JB should have stayed. I’ll add he still closed out impressively and challenged the shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Petition to make free throws worth 1/2 a point? The flopping down the stretch from both teams was ridiculous.

I'm all for trying anything. I'm in the "immediate ejection and heavy fine" party too. It has to be addressed by the league. Embiid getting softly touched on the shoulder and him launching himself like he got blindsided blocked by a pulling guard just annoys the **** out of me.

Destino Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Are there players in the nba you dislike without reasons or even knowing why? I mean as players, not people, I don’t know any of these dudes so it’s not personal. I feel that way about Cameron Payne. Something about his game bugs me but I couldn’t tell you what.
