All of a sudden leaving Notorious Choker James Harden alone to decide a pivotal playoff game is a bad decision

lol

When you can lose via a 3 you don’t leave somebody who’s already hit like 5 open in the corner one pass away

It takes a Harden masterclass for Philly to squeak out a win

harden saved embid there btw

hope somebody got a thread ready to discuss

 

[Emoryal]

Harden has to play good for the sixers to win this

 

[Kski]

I thought Philly would get beat in 5

 

[Raquinotj]

A 2 ties it, a 3 wins it and you collapse on Joel Embiid in the paint, very bad decision. Have to be smarter than that.

Come up from 16 down and decide to not draw up a play, brehs.
Do it again in OT.

Brilliant!

didn’t it take AD to go the fukk off on both sides of the ball for that Lakers win yesterday. Just the game before when he didn’t play good they got blown out… Booker for 47 for that game 3 against Denver the other day. He performed just regular.. they got they ass beat…Curry to score 50 to close out the Kings.. It’s the playoffs bro. That’s just how it goes. And I’m a heat fan.

That ‘don’t call timeout’ has lost meaning like a game of telephone. You originally did that off a MISS, or turnover, bc the defense is a lil confused and semi disarray. Ie Jordan’s last shot

You don’t NOT call a timeout off a made 3 There is no confusion their defense is set.

The confusion is on YOUR squad. They got smart walkin it up like he’s even needed. Then these nggas didn’t even go 1-4 flat they had 2 nggas come to set a pick like he even needs it

Tatum's fault for being trash for an entire half. It's the playoffs. If u wanna be seen as the guy, u gotta be good for all 4 quarters.

nikka was too busy being lightskinned to make shots

 

[UpAndComing]

Modern ‘lets reinvent the wheel’ hoops strategy in a nutshell:

1- Leave an open shooter when you’re down 2 and only a 3 can beat you.

2- Don’t call timeout bc that’s chic.

3- Dribble up with a point guard instead of just letting Tatum iso immediately. Bc that would be the dreaded ol school “hero ball”

CAC analytics have ruined the game

Brad Stevens/Joe Mazzulla have infiltrated the Celtics with this nonsense

 

[Trojan 24]

Majority of the Coli picked the Knicks to beat the Heat now a week later it’s their conference to lose?

Jimmy gone Super Saiyan 2

doc gotta see al horford got joel clamped up. so they need to just run harden and joel pick and rolls all 4th quarter since horford keep dropping or switching. if harden turn the corner, al either getting beat off the dribble or joel there for the slip or kick back. and if someone else man leave and double, then that someone else need to cut or flash to the ball.

this game should not have came to this. doc pulling a doc but luckily harden saved them. boston gonna play better at home, joel as good as he is, is a crazy ball stopper (pause). need to make decisions quicker.
