Series Thread: 1st Round: 3) Sixers vs 6) Nets

[fightinfunbags]

With Embiid out.....Harris needs to step up and have a strong game.

End this series and give Embiid some time to rest and heal before the next series.

Harris will get his 15-20. The guys who need to be difference makers are Harden and Maxey.

this is going to be B Ball Paul's big game

Would love to see this. It’s very possible. This is the kind of interior defense he can shine against.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Because of the double and triple teams on the touch, the Nets have essentially said that they refuse to let Embiid get off against them. So the biggest loss of Embiid today comes at the defensive end.

I also think his knee wasn’t right going into the game. He just didn’t look like Embiid all night Thursday night. I don’t care about all the nonsense. You don’t get punked but goal one is ending this series. That being said, if Claxton or anybody is pulling some bull shit, Doc lies in wait with MonTrashZel Harrell. He waits for somebody to come back on after sitting and he has Harrell throwing elbows and being over the top with the physicality. That’s about the only role Trash should have on this team.

I would love to see this. Harrell could earn all his money today if he is violent enough.

That's gotta be ugly.

Poor start. Maxey just got his first FG on the last possession of first half. Now that the series is over DinShiddie decides to show up.

A classic gentlemen's sweep

Sixers are finding their groove...they play well together, even without Joel or Harden on the court

I think he will play through it if needed...but a sweep will give him a nice little rest

He has to step up.

Maxey is up to the challenge.

This is disgusting. Not sure how many times it has to happen for them to figure this out. They are best when the ball moves and they attack. 6 assist on 16 FGs is a rotten ratio. That’s why they’re shooting so poorly. They aren’t making the Nets have to work to defend because the ball isn’t moving. They need to wake up.

Guh. His minutes were horrible. Gives Harris FTs for no reason. Then gives Claxton an and 1.

I thought they looked best when they went small with PJ Tucker at the 5.
