Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Huge game tonight... It's been a great series. Both teams have been inconsistent. Should be fun to see who steps up tonight.

Nice start by Philly. Playing with energy and the main guys are contributing.
Another slow start by Tatum

Like that Doc isn't afraid to put someone like House in that has been out of rotation. Wonder if McDaniels will be another DNP.

That Harden and All Bench lineup mucked up the offensive rhythm

I'm surprised by the Sixers right now. I can't be the only one right?

Brutal Tatum 1st, same scenario as last game. If they play defense they can win this game. at least tatum got going in this one. honestly if AL just hit 2 of his wide open shots they are right there but that doesn't change how badly they are playing.

This ain't the same Ole soft Sixers lol. Sixers playing with a lot of energy. Maxey with a good first quarter and Tobias with good second, even though he has 3 fouls. I felt those two needed to step it up. This is the best Embiid game of the series so far. Playing with the knee sleeve is helping, just have to cut down on the three attempts

I felt like for the Sixers to win this series, they would need to win this game. I wouldn't feel confident with Sixers winning series down 3-2, as opposed to up 3-2

4 fouls for Harris. Maxey needs to learn how box out

Sixers in general need to commit to boxing out. If Harris going to sit for the rest of the 3rd, then need to consider going back to House or McDaniels.

Up 16 after 3rd Quarter. Have to survive the non-Embiid minutes and keep the foot on the peddle
