put up a valiant fight but philly just got too many perimeter threats around the 2 most talented players in the series

winslow scoreless in the 2nd half, as expected...he played out of his mind in the first half with good defense, really can't ask much more of him

got nothing from wade, which is expected after his marvelous game 2. he's not gonna save us every game, he just can't do it anymore.

biggest problem is getting absolutely zero production from the $100 million centerpiece.

How much do we expect from a guy when he gets 13 minutes and nobody even tries to get him the ball. He played he fewest minutes and took the fewest shots of anyone on the team tonight. Hard to get anything out of him like that.

Spo always trying to play to the other teams strengths :francis:

Because when we slowed the game down, we struggled to get shots to fall. Wade tried but his legs just aren't there like that.

They also got Embiid who completely transforms their defense in the half-court and makes it hard for us to score when we slow it down. It's different when Amir Johnson and Illyasova are in the paint.

Our best chance was turning our defense into fast points so Embiid couldn't get set or would be worn out but they managed to use a lot of those fouls to keep him rested and catch his breath.

Spo sat Winslow too long, and Dragic as well. He sticks to his robotic rotations regardless of circumstance.

No more excuses for him. You 7 ft, go down on the block, establish position with force, and demand the basketball. When have you ever seen Whiteside do that?

We don’t really run anything by high pick and roll. What space is there for him to do that? The moment he breaks the offense to post up, Spo is just gonna sit him the next 20+ minutes of game time anyway.
