[EC First Round] (3)Philadelphia vs. (6)Brooklyn

That's the thing about Embiid. Amazing player, but just not dependable due to injuries all the time. A shame.

 

Filthy stepback by James

 

another high-scoring game

 

James Harden is just cursed man. Every year whoever he plays with always gets injured. No matter what.

 

Serani, they got artists from the late 2000's performing. I remember this guy.

 

Harden takes Cam for a ride.

 

Philly woke up

 

Some high quality shooting on display by these two teams.

 

Kind of like this guy.

 

Bring out the roomba; BKN is about to get swept.

 

I think that's mostly correct except to be fair the injury that took him out last playoffs seemed sort of flukey to me. Siakam got embarrassed and then on the other end threw that running bow that broke his face. Some may disagree but it seemed intentional to me.

 

Wow good win. 4-0 without Embiid.

Embiid gets some healing time
Old Harden / Tucker get some rest

 

looks like it's throw-in-the-towel time for Brooklyn

 

Bill Simmons: "Nets won the trade..."

 

Looking forward to those picks/swaps.

 

How did Harden forget to make layups. His physical decline is some of the worst I've seen. Still a 10/10 passer, literally cannot make a single layup

 

His shooting in the paint this series was embarrassing. He hit 40%+ from 3 and like you said the passing was generally top notch, but good god his % on 2FG was in the 20s this series.
