David Stern had a brain hemorrhage. Here's to a speedy recovery hopefully.

Jo Jo was a beast tonight. Chuck keep grinding on Ben so he improves next. Brett with the play out of bounds to get Ben to the line too. This team needs to just all play at same time.

Don't know much about NBA defenses but it looked like they were daring Boston to beat them with midrange shots. Every team does, but it looked like they were taking it to the extreme. Going over every screen and Jojo protecting the rim deep in the paint- not even challenging ball handlers. Looked like it was going to be death by a thousand papercuts for a while there lol.

After a phone call with Shaq, Joel Embiid went out and dominated the Celtics | David Murphy

I didn’t notice this at the time but you’re right.

There are some coaches who believe that if you limit your opponent’s rates of a) getting to the rim and b) shooting stationary three pointers, you’ve got a good defense.

I really like their five at the end of the game: Simmons, Embiid, Thybulle, Richardson, Harris.

Norvel Pelle doing Norvel Pelle things.

f*** you Furkan

 

[Jack Straw]

Harris is feeling it tonight

 

[Halladay]

Hack a Ben will be a trend this year.

 

[Jack Straw]

Someone explain to me why Simmons didn’t just dunk the ball there? Is he trying to get more practice shooting foul shots?

Shaq is no Yoda....but good on Joel for taking the constructive criticism well.

 

[Jack Straw]

They do this on purpose don’t they. Just to drive us nuts.

 

[Embiid]

yup...

Ben has hit all his foul shots so far under 2 minutes 4/4. The rest of team, not.

This quarter has been all foul shots. Like 40 combined.

 

[Jack Straw]

Are the Sixers actively trying to lose this game?

 

[Embiid]

They are so dumb in the final minutes more than what should be considered acceptable..

 

[Embiid]

Poor JJ stuck on the NO Dodo Birds....

 

[Embiid]

Gotta give Harris props....was hard on him early this season but he is answering the bell nightly...

He’s the team’s most reliable scorer now. And his defense is improving.
