This is bringing back my PTSD Rockets collapse memories with Harden passing and people missing threes. Harden will get blowback for this game but Embiid has just been a non factor.
Philly lost this game once they stopped giving the ball to their best player, PJ Tucker. The man dropped 11 points in the first quarter, then they stopped giving it to the GOAT. Damn shame.
Embid has been horrible. I don't understand how James has to be only one to blame here. Shooters are not making shots, Embid keeps asking for the ball at the top of the key in the pick and roll, Doc allowed Tatum to get really hot by not doubling him off the pick and roll. Harden has not been good, so also needs to blamed, but this is not on one man. Get a grip everyone. Enjoy Harden and his usual issues in the playoffs, but be realistic as well.
PJ Tucker took himself out the game cuz he probably changed to his second pair of shoes after the first quarter. The guy walks onto the bench with a suitcase.
For the love of the Lord can't see a reason why he would fix games for himself, he is stinking rich, he would fix games for his friends, yes.
He should take the 25 shots at least, let Embiid get the other 25 or more if he was actually not choking as well. Embiid is at least trying. Failing, but trying.
Sixers are good but damn is Harford defense great. Tatum is just a scoring machine how do you get pass that?
