Haha They’ve had 18.2 sec for the last shot and they still wasn’t able to make it
On the other hand Trae Young did that only in 5 sec, its where we see how frequently players handle pressure

Now this is clear as clean water. 76ers changes depend on Harden he has demostrated in this series that when he plays confident, he is that dude. I just hope he continue to play freely because as good as Embiid is, now we know what Boston defense can do on him with the double team and with Maxey at the ring.
To me Boston is the best team in this year playoffs and we are looking at them eyes to eyes. So, the winner of this series can easily be the NBA Champions.

a lot depends on the health of Embid, he looked hurt and tired here. Philly have to find a way to have Harden free to shoot but not pressured to shoot like in Houston where he has to score min 36 or they lose.

I’m glad the refs allowed that blatant pushoff by Tatum on his 3 just to set up the Harden go ahead 3

MVP Embiid has to become a monster in Game 5 or it’s over for them. Maxxey needs to step on the gas too. They can’t slow down the pace because that’s when Boston strikes hard.

Celtics will still dominate this match up. Sixers can’t defeat celtics in a big margin.

The pick & roll play where Embiid caught the pass from Harden… he took 3 steps to catch & gather. Then he picked up his “dribble” only to take four steps prior to being bailed out. This is the postseason. That kind of BS cannot be tolerated. Maybe we’ll use AI robots for officials in a few years. Pitiful.

need some opinions. Should that have been a charge on Embiid and should that have been a push off on tatum?

Everyone is bitching about Embiid to be aggressive. Yawl lucky that Mf is even playing, you keep forgetting how fucked up his knee really is. 🤣

The fact that they gave KNOWN flopper Marcus Smart TWO different calls late is the reason flopping will never stop.
