Well this will be 1 to 1. The sixers can't reproduce this and they won't get the calls.

No defense ... exchanged baskets all night and Harden was clutch. (45pts)
Tatum 39pts and Brown 23pts and Brogdon 20pts ... not enough!

I'm a long time C fan and we deserved to lose. And we are going to sweep this team? Ha! We will be lucky to beat them Embid or not!

Bruins messed up the Garden's positive forces ... call in Irving with his incense.

Refs sure called a lot of fouls on them. Let's give full credit to Harden and Philly. They didn't need the refs to beat us tonight.

Lack of focus. As Shaq says...."you keep messin' around" as the Celtics did.
JB took THREE SHOTS over the final THREE QUARTERS?
What was that about? THREE SHOTS over the final THREE QUARTERS?

Like I said ... WE can't keep shooting 72% overall ... closed at 50.6% ... that's quite a fade!

Another interesting # Smart had 6 turnovers as many as the 76ers whole damn team. Mazz has dumbed down this team .

Joe Mazzulla HAS NO CLUE. I'm listening to his post-game presser and he seems totally confused.
He has no idea why the team played the way it did. He has no idea why JB took only 3 shots in the final 3 quarters.
Every answer includes "our spacing" and "making the right reads". Oh, and he said on 3 occasions that he's got to be better. Now THAT is so true. We're too talented to lose a game like this in the playoffs playing the way we played.
He just said we won't win too many games shooting just 26 3-pointers. THEN WHY ARE YOU NOT EMPHASIZING SHOOTING MORE? Also, he has no idea why we didn't flash someone in the middle when Philly played zone (except when Horford flashed and hit Smart backdoor for the layup And1.
This guy it totally clueless.

We had 10 personal fouls called against us.
That means we played NO DEFENSE.
We played so little defense that we got called for only TEN personal fouls.
If we're playing tough, physical defense, we're gonna get called for more than 10 fouls.
This is pathetic. Outplayed and outcoached.

I don't want to see more threes. Get in the paint looking to score and not for a foul ala Tatum. There was no Embid tonight. If Smart is the DPOY then there should be no switching. Horford can't defend Harden. At some point someone needs to rely on basketball skills if the coach can't call good defensive offensive and defensive schemes.

Game was over when Harris hit that uncontested layup as the shot clock wound down. NO HELP!! What a soft defensive effort.
I wouldn't play Embiid next game, regardless. Why?? They got whatever shot they wanted.
Mazz got outcoached, but he is right about one thing......they shot 44.7% on 38 3's We shot 38.5% on 26. That will not get it done!!!
Got to win the next one, now.....MUST win

Got to remember Hedley ... Mazz switched the team from Defensive minded under Udoka to an Offensive philosophy he installed to outscore our opponents. Since he took over, it's been all about pace & scoring with little to no concern for defense other than rebounding and rim protection when Rob is in there.

Only way to get stops is with defense. This team refuses to acknowledge that. This ain't an 80s vs nowadays thing. It's a basketball principle that like it or not it will always be part of the game.

Mazz and the players lack IQ. Maxey had five fouls halfway through the fourth and the one time smart drove he let him go. They should have run that over and over and over and over on whoever Maxey was guarding. Nope, didn't happen. Fire away from three.

He's not in charge just following Stevens orders... Sox won again with a team riddled with injuries. . They have a manager who shaves.
