    Especially with how limited his mobility is again in the playoffs. Seems like I'm saying some variation of the same thing every postseason. SMDH

    Yeah. The issue is mostly effort. It's rare you get the "Give a Damn" rebound game from Embiid. At least, Reed is willing to take shots when open, even though it looks clunky. Ideally, Melton can come back this series. He's a good rebounder for his size

    They have to limit Tobias Harris minutes. He had 8-9 boards, but he has been clanking shots poorly over the last month or so and missing his assignments.

      Knicks had 55 rebounds, 23 offensive....wow. Reminds me of Pat Riley's famous quote, lol.

        I was okay with the gameplan. Let anyone other than Brunson beat you. If Hart and McBride is going to beat us, then tip of the cap to them. But, going in to the series, I knew defensive rebounding would be an issue. There is little worse than getting the missed shot, but giving up the offense rebound and them scoring an easy basket off it. Unless they are forcing a turnover, transition offense needs to be on the back burner. The focus has to be crashing the board. They only have 2 plus rebounder in the rotation

        That and figuring out the non-Embiid minutes. It can't just be hoping Maxey goes off. This is where every Sixers fan would want Harris to be more aggressive.

                  I was at the game, too, and I don't think I recall from Ray Allen till now, anyone cooking like Dame did in the first half.

                  My expectations were lower because of no Giannis and the way the Bucks played in April.

                  Nice to see J-Love and the Packers support the Bucks.

                    Jalen Suggs down. He's probably done for this series

                          At least, so far Sixers are doing a better job on the glass
